The Declaration describes how the colonists had, for ten years, repeatedly petitioned for the redress of their grievances, only to have their pleas ignored or rejected. Even though British troops have been sent to enforce these unconstitutional acts, the Declaration insists that the colonists do not yet seek independence from the mother country. They have taken up arms “in defense of the Freedom that is our Birthright and which we ever enjoyed until the late Violation of it”, and will “lay them down when hostilities shall cease on the part of the Aggressors”.
We have the arms, what is needed is the “well regulated militia.”
Well regulated means grouped up for a purpose...............
Happy New Year! Dropping this early due to afternoon plans.
Reminder to join in with prayer at 3:15 Eastern.
Prayers for our FRens and our country as we start out this new year.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Col. 3:17
