Read More7/5 Of silence and treason
As we stand in aftermath of the annual celebration of our national Liberty, I wonder what firebrand statesman will arise and proclaim to this nation that God’s Liberty is perfect liberty and that humanist freedom is akin to slavery. Galatians 5:1 says, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and…
