July 4  ~ American Independence Day

PATRIOTISM is one nation under God

Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. ~ Leviticus 25:10 - inscribed on the Liberty Bell

Take this day to reflect on our nation's religious roots -
The Declaration of Independence is the official and unequivocal affirmation by the American people of their belief and faith in God It affirms God's existence as a "self-evident" truth that requires no further discussion or debate. The nation created by the great Declaration is God's country. The rights it defines are God-given. The actions of its signers are God-inspired. The Declaration contains five references to God - God as supreme Lawmaker, God as Creator of all men, God as the Source of all rights, God as the world's supreme Judge, and God as our Protector on whom we can rely. It declares that each of us is created equal. This means equally endowed with unalienable rights. It does not mean that all are born with equal capabilities. Nor does it mean that all of us can be made equal, as Communist dogma alleges. As the modern discovery of DNA now confirms, each of God's creatures is unequal and different in every other way from every other-person. The Declaration of Independence proclaims that life and liberty are the unalienable gifts of God - natural rights - which no person or government can rightfully take away. It affirms that the purpose, of government is to secure our God-given unalienable individual rights, and that government derives its powers from the consent of the governed. Our Declaration reduced government from master to servant, for the first time in history. - Crosswalk

If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under. ~ President Ronald Reagan
