How important is the 1 st Amendment to the United States Constitution to us? Several things are protected by this addendum to the constitution – including freedom of the press, the right to free speech, freedom to assemble and a chance to freely confront the government. Yet, there is one more liberty that is covered – the freedom of religion. The text of the document actually states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …”. That sounded good to the revolutionaries and it feels good today. However, I want to ask something – are we practicing this freedom? I know a lot of people who practice the freedom NOT to worship, but what are we missing out on when we don’t openly and frequently worship the Lord? Please do not misunderstand my point – I am not taking some political side in a debate, I am encouraging us to get out there and do something that is protected by law...
