Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves
be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
(Galatians 5:1)
Independence is what makes America
great and our many freedoms make this a great place to live. Our constitution
is based on our ability to self govern. Below is what James Madison, our fourth
President, had to say about our system.
"We have staked the whole of all our political Institutions upon the capacity of mankind for Self-Government, the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
"We have staked the whole of all our political Institutions upon the capacity of mankind for Self-Government, the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
Pray about where we were then and where we are now.
