The Constitution, Part VIII

Surrounded by farms, the church and the town hall formed the nucleus of our earliest towns.

Thanksgiving is due for the principles underlying the sixth amendment. Our forefathers knew that secret, biased trials would not work, so they outlined this second of four amendments to help the judicial process remain unencumbered. Do you think you can memorize it by Thanksgiving? AMENDMENT 6 In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the […]

A Watered Garden

IMG_1244

I love sitting out in the back yard by the garden. I turn the sprinkler on and watch the morning sunlight highlight the green leaves and sparkle in the drops of water. I don’t want to wither in our dry world like I see so many Christians withering. I want to be like a watered […]

The Constitution, Part VII

Liberty is not another word for freedom or license. It is the just and noble balance of rights and responsibility. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there will be found undying liberty.

The 5th Amendment directs conduct in court. Along with the 6th Amendment it is a harder one to memorize due to its length.

The Constitution, Part VI

Distant relatives such as these exchanged their home in Europe for the security and freedom outlined in the Fourth Amendment.

AMENDMENT 4 The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be […]

Turn the Tide

It is a joy to sing with Esther!

“Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.” (Psalm 80:7) The Lord gave us this verse as a rhema for the song Turn the Tide that Esther and I have been learning as a duet. Whether the Lord moves miraculously to bring revival to our […]
