Happy Independence Day!!
Freedom is one of those words we love to shout, especially today. But this morning during worship, I saw a picture of the Declaration of Independence and the word "Declaration" stood out to me. |
|
|
|
For a declaration to hold any weight, it must be made with authority. When our founding fathers declared their independence, they did so in the truth of God's sovereignty. They recognized that there is no authority above "Divine Providence", "Creator", and the "Supreme Judge of the world". 245 years ago, these were all common, vernacular descriptors of God. They submitted themselves - and the English Crown - to God's authority. Insodoing, they took up their God-given, unalienable rights, fully relying on His Divine Providence for the protection and culmination of these Free and Independent States we now call home. It was recognized that each man should retain the right to freedom of religion - for God does not partner with coercion, but has established free will.
America's Declaration was an act of radical faith. Our founding fathers declared a thing that had not yet come to pass, yet declared it as if it were already a reality. They determined to live out their independence according to the self-evident truths of "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" - and not according to the will and whim of man (the English Crown). And they backed up their declaration with action ...
In declaring truth, they also declared war. The 56 men who signed their names knew full-well the sacrifice and suffering that would follow. They - and their families - counted that cost and willingly signed their own death warrants for high-treason against the Crown.
Today, I am overcome yet again with gratitude for those who came before us, for their conviction, their declaration, and their action. Today I stand and declare, by faith, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, the independence of our nation as penned on that historic day. May God bless America, and may America bless God.
Under Providence,
|

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States ... And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

Come join Rey Reynolds at a fundraising dinner event on Saturday, July 10th at The Black Pearl on the Columbia and invest in Rey's bid for Clark County Sheriff!
Rey is a Constitutional Conservative who believes in keeping our community safe and wants to use real, working solutions for the problems we face, specifically by addressing quality of life surrounding homelessness.
This semi-formal fundraising event will include a silent and live auction ... with some very special guests! Did you know that Rey is on the Board of Directors for Camp Hope? Camp Hope is an educational, non-profit youth camp, located across the river from Lewisville Park. The mission of Camp Hope is to compassionately invest in our youth by providing a safe place for mentoring and teaching. With the rise in teen suicide, along with other tragic stories among young lives, their prayer is to help make a difference in our community by offering HOPE and HELP. Rey is committed to our youth and families supporting the foster community, so all of the proceeds from one of the amazing auction items will benefit Camp Hope!
Dinner and dessert will be provided with ticket purchase; $100 per seat, or $800 VIP reserved table for 8. Click HERE to buy your ticket(s) now! The event will run from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
