Let us act in the liberty we have — from God, and in this nation — to share the Good News of the liberty of the Gospel while we can! We do not know when someone will breathe their last, and meet with God’s justice. But we can be “doers of the work” through sharing “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” ~ James 1:25 “So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.” ~ James 2:12

Enjoying Earthly Blessings While Living with an Eternal Focus Playing Parcheesi while eating hot bean-and-cheese sandwiches is something Mama enjoyed growing up.

“[Jesus] said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.” (Luke 5:4b-5) Jesus told Peter to let down the net, but
Praise God for this country we get to call home! Boldly standing for righteousness was what gave this nation its independence, and so many freedoms have been enjoyed as a result! Happy 250th birthday, America!
“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus….And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John
“True Christians are assured that no temptation (or trial) shall happen to them but what they shall be enabled to bear; and that the grace of Christ shall be sufficient for them.” ~ Roger Sherman, Signer of the Declaration of Independence.He has made provision for our every need in Jesus Christ!
