Happy independence day.
Enjoy it with family and friends. And remember. King George was just a man. There have been many other such men throughout history, are many such now, and will be many in the future, who would “erect a multitude of New Offices,” and send “hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.”
All usurpation of God’s authority and governance over mankind is wickedness. Always and forever.

God gives us inalienable rights, but we retain only those rights which we are personally willing to assert and defend. We have allowed our rights to be eroded by that long train of abuses.

It’s a good day to reflect on the blessings we still have. It’s a good day for a little inventory. Happy independence day Herschel.
Congratulations hillbilly, I pray you raise her up in the way that she should go, in the fear and admonition of our LORD Christ the Holy Saviour. Prov 22:6 and Eph 6:4
