God Is My Defence

 

 

"But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy."

The US Constitution

 

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people;

it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government,

lest it come to dominate our lives & interests."

July 4, 2012

 

Happy 4th of July birthday, America! We are still "the land of the free and home of the brave" even though our duly elected government wants to take more & more of our freedoms away "for our own good". Remember to vote in this fall's elections based on your convictions for this wonderful country.

Also remember to "Serve the Lord with gladness". We have a long heritage of moral standards that we need to follow. It is tempting to "do our own thing" but it is not always right, or good, for our own soul or that of our fellow man. The Bible has so much to offer to guide us in this world. We just need to listen to what it says.
