## Resource

Francis Scott Key wrote those inspiring words of The Star-Spangled Banner after witnessing the amazing survival of Ft. McHenry after an all-night assault by the British troops on September 13-14, 1844. Key wrote, "Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just; and this be our motto: 'In God is our trust!' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave." The Apostle John also wrote of freedom in the eighth chapter of his Gospel, only the subject of his witness pertained to the LORD of the Free rather than the "land of the free". He recorded Jesus saying, "truth will set you free" (v. 32) and "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." In celebration of America's 250-year anniversary, I offer this message to glorify the Lord of the free! Free from the Presence of Sin, 8:21-22 Free from the Penalty of Sin, 8:23-27 Free through the Provision for Sin, 8:28-30 Free from the Power of Sin, 8:31-38 -- Growing in Grace Devotions and Inspirations Hosted by Pastor Victor Morrison First Baptist Church 1700 Milam Street Columbus, TX, USA 78934 http://fbccolumbustx.org/
