The Saddest Fourth of July

By Dan Gibson

Today, the fourth day of July, 2009 is an important date for most Americans. It means a paid day off for many, and lots of parties, beer, hotdogs and fireworks. But few Americans can explain the significance of the day and even fewer know how our forefathers commemorated this day each year.

In short, the Fourth of July is the date that representatives of the colonies put their name to the Declaration of Independence. Each signer understood that King James would consider the signers guilty of Treason. Each of them knew that by putting their signature on that document they also offered their necks to the noose should their efforts fail. And, they also knew that without the aid of God, their chances of resisting the most powerful king on Earth were very small.

Who were these men? Were they downtrodden starving surfs that were willing to risk their lives in order to feed their families? No, rather these men were aristocrats – men of position, property and wealth. They were men who simply responded to the call of duty, even at the risk of their lives. Rather than lawless rebels, they were representatives of the various colonies and gathered to speak for the interests and protection of those they represented. They were “lesser magistrates”, meaning that they had a duty to speak for and defend the people that God had put in their care. Normally, they would have maintained the respect due to the higher magistrate – in their case, King George. However, King George had abused his authority over a long period of time and had become a tyrant. For many years the representative of the colonists had sent formal protests against the abuse of their rights as English free men but the king would hear none of their complaints. Like Rehoboam in the Old Testament, King George rejected the counsel of the lesser magistrates (elders in the Old Testament). In 1 Kings 12 we read  “But he rejected the counsel which the elders gave him.” and “So the King did not listen to the people” and he said, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!”

Most of the colonists were Christians and understood that they were bound before God to obey authorities, pray for them and pay them respect. But they also knew that God had said, “He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.” (2 Sam. 23:3). And from their New Testaments they learned, “For he is God’s minister to you for (your) good”. (Rom. 13:4) The men who signed the Declaration of Independence were men who represented a people who were thankful for magistrates as those who were given to them by God to protect and serve. The Westminster Divines referred to kings as “nursing fathers” (Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 23). Unlike a large percentage of Americans today, they did not believe the government had authority to provide for their health care, bail out (and take control of) their businesses, take their guns or “redistribute” the earnings of persons who earned them to those who had not. Charity belonged to the church, the people and their local communities. Americans cared for each other and did not expect their public servants to be their keepers. 

So we come to the Fourth of July, 2009. How should we celebrate this date in our history?

First, we should note that we have broken covenant and union with our forefathers beginning many decades ago. I don’t know when we started the tradition of fireworks, beer and cookouts on the Fourth of July but I do know that our forefathers didn’t commemorate this date as we do. Our forefathers clearly understood that they did not defeat King George by force of arms. If you read their words you will see that nearly all of them gave their sovereign God credit for their victory and freedom from oppression. Starting with the first anniversary of the Fourth of July our fathers gave thanks to God and governors called for days of fasting. What a contrast you would see if you could go back in time and join those who made this day a day of prayer and thanksgiving to God!

Secondly, the typical American man is unworthy to celebrate the day since he lacks the courage of those men who signed the Declaration and those who took up arms to defend their homes and nation. We aren’t willing to be free any longer. Rather, we want the government to be our keeper and we use our votes to send thousands of new King Georges to state houses, Congress and the White House. The blood of patriots has been spilled in vain for a people who deserve neither liberty nor peace.

Thirdly, the way in which we celebrate the Fourth of July is all about boasting of our own strength. Think of the most prominent tradition at our celebrations – fireworks. All combat veterans clearly understand the meaning of the fireworks we spend millions of dollars to buy and then explode. The firecrackers represent the sound of small-arms fire while the exploding rockets represent the artillery fired in combat. What is the meaning of fireworks on the Fourth of July? They are simply a boast that we won our independence by our own power. Each explosion conveys the meaning that we were responsible for our freedom! I’m reminded of radical Islamic warriors firing and shaking their rifles above their heads in a primitive victory dance. Add a lot of beer and we have a yearly celebration that glorifies man and offers no gratitude to God or His hand in our liberty. Think about it: when is the last time you attended a Fourth of July celebration where people gathered in grateful humility to give thanks to the God who truly made us a free people?

This Fourth of July should be the saddest such holiday in our history. Both Congress and the President have ignored their oaths of office. The U.S. Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land and every office holder in America takes such an oath before entering his office. For instance, the President of the United States swears as follow: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. (emphasis mine)”  However, If citizens had read the Constitution they would have realized that nearly every campaign promise Mr. Obama made was in violation of the Constitution he (later) swore to “preserve, protect and defend”. 

There has never been a time that our liberties have eroded at such a rapid rate as since Mr. Obama took office. And Congress has passed new laws that contain over a thousand pages of print that they haven’t even read! And least we forget, they are just beginning to dismantle our Republic. In the works are the Cap and Trade bill (Already passed by the House) that will be the largest tax increase ever put on the American people. And, contrary to the President’s campaign promises, it will hurt the poor the most. Rich people don’t care if their electricity bills go up or gasoline doubles in price. But the typical American family will be devastated by increased prices on nearly every product they buy (if you raise the price of energy, you raise the price of everything that uses energy to make or transport).

Next in line is the government takeover of healthcare. Welcome comrades to the workers paradise. It has worked so well in the Soviet Union, Cuba and other socialist/communist countries that we thought we should give it a try.

I don’t know what you will do to “celebrate” this Fourth of July, but as for me; I plan to fast rather than feast and to wear black in mourning for our beloved country.

I am sixty-four years old and realize that most (if not all) of my life is behind me. But on this day I think of my posterity as did our founding fathers. Their sacrifice was not for themselves but for their children and grandchildren. If the church stays in its current state of self-serving, program-driven complacency our children will have none of the liberties that we have enjoyed. Furthermore, and more importantly, the evidence is plain that the Gospel itself will be more and more considered to be “intolerance” until it is suppressed in the land where it blossomed to its fullest extent. 

Brethren, we need not be in the majority to restore our country. Only 14% of the colonists were in favor of resisting King George. What was needed in 1775 is what is needed in 2009 – men of conviction and courage. We need men who see God as sovereign and are willing to stand against seemingly insurmountable odds; trusting that if God is for us we will either prevail or add our blood to that of those martyrs who have come before us.

America will not be restored as “the city on a hill” for the world by patriots marching on Washington DC. Rather, we need to renew our efforts to declare the gospel to our fellow citizens. Not the Dispensational escapism gospel but the true Gospel that overcame all adversity in the early church and again during the Reformation. The countries where the true Gospel was preached experienced spiritual liberty which was soon followed by civil liberty as well. Switzerland, Holland, England, Scotland and other countries experienced spiritual reformation followed by civil liberty and prosperity. The next tier of countries that embraced the doctrine of grace and the sovereignty of God included America. The crying need our time is for true churches that will spread the true Gospel and then disciple members in their duty as church members, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers and citizens.

Let us take this Fourth of July to recommit ourselves to declare the Gospel and to the building of true churches that will – like in 1775 – teach members to occupy until the Lord comes.

For the King of kings!

Independence Now And Forever

Chuck Baldwin
July 1, 2009

As we approach Independence Day, it behooves us to recall the principles of America’s founding, especially in light of the ongoing attempt by today’s political and commercial leaders to merge the United States into a hemispheric government. In fact, the clarion call for independence is just as fundamental, just as revolutionary as it was 233 years ago.

Regarding the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams said, “[Independence Day] will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.”

Adams went on to say, “You will think me transported with enthusiasm, but I am not. I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory; I can see that the end is more than worth all the means, that posterity will triumph in that day’s transaction, even though we should rue it, which I trust in God we shall not.”

Indeed, the signers of America’s Declaration of Independence endured the sacrifice of both toil and blood. Pertaining to the lives of the signers, David Limbaugh writes, “Of those 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war. Five were captured and imprisoned, in each case with brutal treatment. Several lost wives, sons or entire families. One lost his thirteen children. Two wives were brutally treated. All were at one time or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost everything they owned.”

Yes, America’s Declaration of Independence, which is our nation’s birth certificate, was purchased at a very high price. Rightly did its primary author, Thomas Jefferson, invoke God’s name no less than four times in the Declaration. Without God, our struggle for independence and freedom would surely have failed.

Jefferson, along with the vast majority of America’s founders, knew that freedom was, first, the gift of God, not the accomplishment of men. He further understood that man’s law must be subordinate to the natural laws of God.

Therefore, with an appeal to Heaven for the “rectitude of [their] intentions,” America’s Founding Fathers courageously forged a document that would put their own lives at risk, but would also change the course of history.

The question now is, “How long can we maintain our nation’s independence?” The forces of global government seem to dominate both major parties in Washington, D.C., most corporate boardrooms, and most newsrooms.

In fact, hemispheric or regional government never had more powerful and committed allies than former Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now President Barack Obama. Mark my words: if and when America loses its independence, it will have been these Presidents that led the way in making it happen.

If the United States is going to maintain its independence and freedom much beyond the year 2010, it will only be because millions of freedom-loving Americans (and the governments of the States in which they reside) are willing to fight for it.

Both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826. Daniel Webster gave the eulogy for both men on August 2 of that year. Included in his remarks on that notable day were these words: “It [the Declaration of Independence] is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God, it shall be my dying sentiment. Independence now, and independence forever.”

To Webster’s words, I say a hearty AMEN! I promise no loyalty to the North American Union, the United Nations, or any other brand of global government. When the day comes that I am required to submit to any form of global authority, I will be an outlaw. There is no freedom without independence, and there is no independence without eternal vigilance. To my dying breath I will say with Daniel Webster, “Independence now, and independence forever!”

Cap and Trade Will Lead to Capital Flight

Congressman Ron Paul

In my last column, I joked that with public spending out of control and the piling on of the international bailout bill, economic collapse seems to be the goal of Congress.  It is getting harder to joke about such a thing however, as the non-partisan General Accounting Office (GAO) has estimated that the administration’s health care plan would actually cost over a trillion dollars.  This reality check may have given us a temporary reprieve on this particular disastrous policy, however an equally disastrous energy policy reared its ugly head on Capitol Hill last week.

The Cap and Trade Bill HR 2454 was voted on last Friday.  Proponents claim this bill will help the environment, but what it really does is put another nail in the economy’s coffin.  The idea is to establish a national level of carbon dioxide emissions, and sell pollution permits to industry as the Catholic Church used to sell indulgences to sinners.  HR 2454 also gives federal bureaucrats new power to regulate a wide variety of household appliances, such as light bulbs and refrigerators, and further distorts the market by providing more of your tax money to auto companies.

The administration has pointed to Spain as a shining example of this type of progressive energy policy.  Spain has been massively diverting capital from the private sector into politically favored environmental projects for the better part of a decade, and many in Washington apparently like what they see.  However, under no circumstances should anyone serious about economic recovery emulate an economy that is now approaching 20 percent unemployment, where every green job created, eliminated 2.2 real jobs and cost around $800,000 each!

The real inconvenient truth is that the cost of government regulations, taxes, fees, red tape and bureaucracy is a considerable expense that has to be considered when companies decide where to do business and how many people they can afford to hire.  Increasing governmental burden directly causes capital flight and job losses, as Spain has learned.  In this global economy its easy enough for businesses to relocate to countries that are more politically friendly to economic growth.  If our government continues to kick the economy while its down, it will be a long time before it gets back up.  In fact, jobs are much more likely to go overseas, compounding our problems.

And for what?  Contrary to claims repeated over and over, there is no consensus in the scientific community that global warming is getting worse or that it is manmade.  In fact over 30,000 scientists signed a petition recently directly disputing the claims on which this policy is based.  Legitimate environmental claims should instead be directed towards the public sector.  The government, especially the military, is the most serious polluter in the country, and is exempt from most EPA regulations.  Meanwhile Washington bureaucrats have classified the very air we exhale as a pollutant and have gone unchallenged in this incredible assertion.  The logical consequence is that there will come a time when we will have to buy a government permit just to emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from our own lungs!

The events on Capitol Hill last week just demonstrate Washington’s audacity in manufacturing problems just so they can expand government power to solve them.

Confessions of a Recovering Legalist

A great posting at Sharper Iron:

I grew up in a Christian home, had parents who loved me and loved God. I went to church every Sunday, learned all the stories, gave my offerings—even went off to a Christian college. And I loved God—and I still do. But I had a problem— legalism. I didn’t know it was a problem, at least not for a long time.

Hi, I’m Brent. And I am a recovering legalist. I’m looking for a support group for people like me.

Thoughts on John and Kate Plus Divorce

I am really not a big fan of reality tv.  However, I must admit, my wife was got me at least somewhat interested in John and Kate Plus 8 and  18 Kids and Counting.  So, last night along with millions of other viewers, I watched the breaking news of John and Kate Gosselin’s divorce.  Here are a few thoughts:

1.  This serves to confirm what I have been saying for quite some time – reality tv can only have a negative impact on the culture.  After all, we are glued to out tv’s watching a family go to the dentist or buy a new dog?  When did this become entertainment?  We are watching other families doing the ordinary things we should be doing ourselves. 
2. Was anyone else bothered by the fact that both John and Kate keep saying that their kids were the most important thing?  They cared more about the kids than their marriage.  I understand that good parents always put the needs of their kids ahead of their own.  However, I can’t help but wonder when kids became the MOST important thing the marriage takes a back seat.  Kids need parents who love each other and who are both present in their lives.  That means you must take time to work on your marriage – if only for the kids sake…
3. I feel very sorry for these eight kids.  Let’s not kid ourselves, this whole idea of parents living in separate places can never fully replace two loving, married parents presenting a united front.   Being stars of a hit television program means the kids will be taken care of financially as well.  Yet, money and even “quality time” cannot replace the role of two loving parents living together.  As a teacher in a Christian school, I often witness the agony some students go through as they try to sort through the two sets of parents they have.  Add a the new girlfriend or boyfriend that may be in the picture and you have a recipe for a very confusing time for young adolescents.  I’ve seen these youngsters torn between which house to go home to or even which parent to go home with.
4. Was counseling ever an option?  My wife and I both were hoping that the big announcement last night would be that the show was ending.  What a great testimony it would have been to see this couple say that fame was not as important as love!  It would have been wonderful to hear them say that for the good of their family, the show would be ending in order to gain some time to focus on their relationship.  No.  Instead, we heard Kate declare, “The show must go on…”  How sad. 
5. Ok, this may be in poor taste, but Kate is just a shrew.  She constantly degraded her husband. 
6. It really irritates me is that these are Christians, and everyone knows it.  We watched them go to church and I can recall John wearing t-shirts with Scripture on it.  They even wrote a book describing their faith.  This is now just one more opportunity for the world to point out the hypocrisy of Christians.  How can we talk about defending the sanctity of marriage in relation to homosexual marriage when we don’t even consider our own wedding vows sacred?
7. It seems to me as if “Christian” families like this really have no positive impact on society.  In fact, there it is more likely that they will have a negative impact.  While on tv, their faith was never fully displayed, but only hinted at.  There were just enough clues to get evangelicals excited but not enough to turn away secular viewers.  So, while the family is together – it was just another tv show.  No one ever got saved by watching John and Kate Plus Eight or 18 Kids and Counting.  The only way for shows like this to break out from the pack is for a disaster like this to occur.
8. Resolved on the day of my second wedding anniversary – you will never see Jill and Kevin Plus Seven hit the airwaves. 

God’s Plan of Salvation or Your Personal Testimony?

Lately, I have been thinking about how we as Christians ought to present the gospel to the lost.  It is clear that many people wish to water down the true Biblical way of salvation.  Some times this is done through the use of personal testimony. 

Now, I understand some of you may be shocked by that statement.  After all, doesn’t the Bible command is to be a witness?  What is a witness?  A witness is one who can testify of what they have personally seen. 

If I were a wtiness in a murder trial, my job would be to sit in the witness chair and describe the murder.  My job would not be to describe how I felt about the murder, how I got to the murder scene or what I wore while the murder took place.  I tell what I saw.  That’s it.  I need to leave myself out of it.

I have heard many “testimonies” that actually get in the way of the gospel.  The focus is on a wonderful story or one person’s triumph over adversity.  In the end, listeners are left with the idea that the gospel is all about coming to Jesus to fix your problems (poverty, drugs, abuse…) or gain a better life. 

The Biblical gospel focuses on the holiness of a sovereign God, the failures of a depravity humanity, the overwhelming grace of a loving Savior and an all-sufficient sacrifice for all who would believe.  What is absent from all this – any human effort, tale or story.    The only thing I bring to salvation is my own sinfulness.   That is all. 

I have no problem with one person giving a testimony of what God has done for him, as long as God remains the focus.  But, the more I focus on my personal experience, the less I focus on the Cross of Christ.  The more I focus on myself, the less I stress Biblical doctrine.

Personal anecdotes may be interesting and draw people into “the tent.”  Fascinating stories keep folks entertained.  But what is it that actually saves people?  The power of the Cross.  The message of the gospel. 

What brings this all to mind is recent broadcast of the White Horse Inn.  Let me highly recommend that you listen in to this program – God’s Story vs. Our Stories.

Constitution Party Takes Stand Against Sotomayor Confirmation‏

 

News and Information

 

 

Constitution Party Opposes

Sotomayor Confirmation

Unanimous Vote Urges Senate to Nix Obama Nominee Lancaster, PA:  The Constitution Party National Committee unanimously passed a resolution urging the U.S. Senate to deny the confirmation of President Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court, 2nd Cir. Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor. (Read resolution here). The resolution was agreed upon at the party’s recent National Committee Meeting held in Newark, N.J. Constitution Party members from more than 30 states attended the meeting where the resolution was approved. The resolution strongly decried Obama’s pick for Supreme Court judge for her lack of adherence to the principles necessary to rule objectively as a justice of the country’s highest court. The resolution cites Sotomayor’s lack of fidelity to the Constitution in a number of areas including her denial of “ the applicability of the individual right to bear arms protected by the 2nd Amendment to the citizens of the several states;” because “she supports giving voting rights to convicted murderers who are still serving time in prison…”; because “ she has been a member of the National Council of La Raza, (www.humanevents.com) many of the leaders of which favor amnesty for illegal aliens and the return of the southwest United States to Mexico…” and because “she favors racial and ethnic quotas in education and employment…” Constitution Party National Committee Chairman Jim Clymer said “Americans from across the political spectrum have little patience with the kind of blatant bias this woman has shown in the past through her affiliation with a racist group and her pronouncements that a woman of her race could be a better jurist than a “white male”. (www.humanevents.com). “President Obama has hand-picked another cog in the wheel in the mechanism he’s designing to abrogate the Constitutional rule of law and its guarantees of liberty for all Americans. Sotomayor simply should not be given the opportunity to carry out her practice of substituting personal ideology for the Constitution on the highest court of the country”, Clymer added. The Constitution Party adopted other resolutions including a condemnation of the federal government’s so-called “bailouts” of the private banking and auto industries. ### Only the Constitution Party is standing up for the American People on the key issues that will affect the future of our nation— The Supreme Court;  Bailouts For Bankers And Multinational Corporations;  Trillion Dollar Deficits;  Federal Reserve Manipulation Of Our Economy;  Trade Policies That Have Produced Record Unemployment;  Illegal Immigration And Border Security;  Endless Unconstitutional Foreign Wars;  Protection Of A Woman’s (And Man’s) Right To Be Born;  And Many, Many Others….
