1. COMMENTARY
- “The Declaration of Dependence Unveiled!”
(by Tim Ewing & Rick Marschall, Rare Jewel Magazine)
The Declaration of Independence is a declaration of our nation’s independence from Great Britain AND it is a declaration of dependence on God.
In the Declaration, the God of the Bible is identified as the source of mankind’s rights: citizens are “…endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” At the close of the document is a prayer invoking “a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence.” The Framers made agreements with each other, but also made a Covenant with God.
Unfortunately, the United States has largely forgotten this dual aspect of the Declaration of Independence.
There are a great many voices in America today that rightly decry the poor state of our Union and who propose appropriate remedies. Unfortunately, these various pronouncements and petitions make for scattered efforts that too often fall short in bringing meaningful restoration to America.
Jesus Christ warned in Matthew 12:25 that a "divided house will not stand," and we must be careful to discern the things that can unite us, and put aside the things that can divide us. Carefully maintaining purity of heart and generosity of fellowship in this common challenge to restore America's foundation, we look for a creed to which concerned citizens might subscribe.
Thus we present to our readers
THE DECLARATION OF DEPENDENCE. It is a document drafted to enlist citizens in a born-again American Revolution -- a national campaign that is distinctively committed to America's restoration.
The Declaration of Dependence provides citizen patriots with a document of common agreement for meditation, encouragement, and action -- a tool that will unite our voices into a single, clear message and unified front.
With unity and clarity of purpose and direction we WILL multiply our strength and achieve success in the battle to redeem our culture and our government.
Read and sign the Declaration of Dependence: Share it… urge neighbors and leaders to sign it… use it as a standard to measure candidates for public office, community leaders and elected officials, authorities in churches and schools… and make it your meditation, thereby engaging in this new Revolutionary War for the soul of our nation and its citizens.
