Freedom is a concept that is built into the DNA of our being. This fact is true to the extent that our souls cry out when we find ourselves bound under the weight of tyranny. This truth is expressed clearly in our own past as a people. When found under the tyrannical control of the British crown we as a nation cried out for our freedom. The record of that cry was put to paper in the document we know as the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson described this document as "our expression of the American mind."

In Christ, you may be "free indeed."
