REMEMBER those who fought and sacrificed so much to give us this freedom. Even freedom to speak out against perceived wrongs of our government.<br /> <br /> As we celebrate, we must also remain sober regarding the threat to our continued freedom. We are blessed to live in the greatest nation in the world.&nbsp; We must not forget there is always an enemy seeking to steal, kill, and destroy, both spiritually&nbsp;and in the natural.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Today's articles continue to reveal the persecution that some churches face in China. Both of the churches mentioned are from the same city. The Communist Party and China's leaders are against the Church and religion. Enforcement of the law governing the Church may be enforced in varying degrees depending on what city or province they are in. Since both churches mentioned are from the same place, we see a similar degree of severity of enforcement against the church leaders.&nbsp;</p>
