We live in a diverse and divided country that is full of different interests, beliefs, and dreams. One thing that unites us all, however, is a love for traveling. One of the many great things about the United States is that the country is so large and offers a variety of landscapes and climates. If you live in the country, you can find a big city within a reasonable driving distance. If you call the big city of Chicago home, you can visit the beach or the mountains within a day’s travel. Pretty much anywhere you live in the U.S., you can find somewhere totally different within a few hours. Even better, you won’t need a passport or a pocket translator.

As we edge closer to the end of summer, it’s time to start thinking about the things you want to do with the time that you have left. With each new season we think about the things that we would like to do or accomplish. In the fall that might mean bonfires and camping, the winter could be for learning how to knit or spending time with family around the holidays. When we think about summer, there also a few ideas that come to mind. Let’s talk about a few of the Christian family activities you might want to enjoy with the second half of summer.

As we finish off the leftovers of our 4th of July barbecues and put away the star-spangled decorations that infuse us with patriotic feelings, we should reflect on what freedom really means. We can certainly feel grateful for the rights that we have today and the ability to do many of the things we would like to do. Freedom, however, goes beyond what is listed in historical documents like the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Our rights have been given to us by a wonderful Creator. The Bible has more than a few things to say about the nature of freedom and what it means to truly enjoy it. Here are a few Bible verses about freedom that teach us what it has to do with our Christian faith.
Patriotic Christian Films That Help Us Celebrate Independence Day

The 4th of July is a wonderful time for getting together with family, having a barbecue, and relaxing. Like many holidays, though, its true meaning runs much deeper than enjoying fireworks. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying some time off, but we should all remember the importance of our country’s day of independence and those who have come before us. When it comes to patriotic Christian films, they typically revolve around those who have served in the military. There is a long history of faith being intertwined with the life of a soldier. The Bible itself is full of references to battle and Christians often talk about putting on the full armor of God. It shouldn't be any surprise that there are a few patriotic Christian films out there that discuss this very connection.
