4th of July: Celebrating a Decision 2
July 5, 2022
This celebration, the 4th of July, is an incredible day of decision in our country. In 1776, our founding fathers signed the declaration of independence declaring that our 13 colonies were no longer subjects of England. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, . . endowed by their Creator with unalienable Rights, . . . Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
“Created equal”. “Endowed by their Creator”– stark declarations of their belief that we are God’s creation, not evolved beings, equal in value. How far we have fallen from that God focused declaration.
These were bold men. Signing that statement put their lives on the line. Death might follow.
What about you and I? Will we stand for what we believe, sign for all to see our beliefs? Our world needs our witness.
