Thank God that the United States declared independence from England two-and-a-half-centuries ago and dependence upon the Lord at the same time. Great Britain, which was a prime mover toward human progress in many ways, seems to be going through a period of jettisoning its former greatness—one move at a time. On the chopping block? Trial […]

We are in the 250th year of America. Of course, on July 4, 2026 we will celebrate the birth of the nation, because two-and-a-half centuries earlier to the day, 56 men in the 2nd Continental Congress in Philadelphia unanimously agreed by voice vote to accept the final wording of the Declaration of Independence. Our nation’s […]
