The Heart of Freedom

Learn More
The first amendment to the American Constitution runs deep in the makeup of American society. After years of oppression, the early pilgrims wanted a place where they could be free to worship God without the fear of persecution. But today, many are claiming that freedom has led to a situation where once again, Christians are being persecuted, and it's been suggested that Christians ought to seize the reins of government. Tune in today as Pastor Boonstra looks into what the Bible says about it.
