Independence Day … How did you remember?

Our family has been trying more recently to make sure that we include a reading of the Declaration of Independence along with some study of one or more of the founding fathers on July 4th.

Where our Nation rose from, and how the foundations were formed are utterly important when trying to navigate the current climate of “progressivism” and outright denial of these formations.

Dr. Jay Richards has written an excellent article dealing with the need to trace the roots and foundations of our nation beyond the founding fathers, and deeper to where their thoughts were formulated … most significantly to the Judeo-Christian values which come directly from the Bible.

I encourage you to take a few minutes to read the following from Dr. Richards.

Paying Attention to our Leader’s Words

Chuck Colson challenges Christians to be aware and to stay on guard when leaders begin to use “new speak”. In a speech by Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, “Freedom of Religion” is whittled down to become “freedom of worship”, and the LGBT agenda is raised to be a human rights priority.

Please take a moment to watch the video and then say a prayer for our nation, and for those in leadership. God is able and willing to move in our nation. Are we willing and ready to engage in the spiritual battle he calls us to?

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 (ESV)
