The fear seems to be everywhere.  The insecurity concerning their health is consuming many individuals.  There are masks everywhere.  Some surveys report that more people in certain areas have died by suicide than have died by the virus.  Is there any hope left?  Is there any place of rest from this onslaught?

But most Christians, being ignorant of God’s plan for civil government, placed our governmental hope in the President, and we went Continue reading

The Bible says, “Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” (Galatians 5:1)

Ladies and Gentlemen: The following document is the reason you and I, in America, are free:

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
