Memorial Day Devotion: Peace and Freedom Are Not The Same

Some people think that Peace and Freedom are mutually the same. They’re not. Peace is an absence of conflict where tyranny can prevail; just ask the good people of North Korea what they want most: peace or freedom? Remember, tyranny escalates when good people take their freedoms for granted.

Freedom requires a defending of our liberties which can only be sustained if we are willing to fight for them; Freedom triumphs when good people are willing to sacrifice themselves for the liberties of others.

That’s why I thank God for all our Armed Forces today and especially for those who gave of their lives. May they honorably rest in peace as we honorably cherish our Freedom.
