July 4th
It is about freedom!
Freedom to pursue happiness!
It is about God, family, and guns!
We praise God for the freedoms we have in this country!
Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the press, assembling together (the Government may have forgotten that one during the pandemic), and the big one, the 2nd protects the First. Right now is an excellent time to read the Bill of Rights. (We would love you to comment on the freedoms you are grateful to have in the comment section.)
But most of all, we praise God for the freedom we have as Christians through Christ.
“5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
Galatians 5:1
The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (1)
The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.
The Third Amendment prohibits the Government from quartering troops in private homes, a major grievance during the American Revolution.
The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. The Government may not conduct any searches without a warrant, and such warrants must be issued by a judge and based on probable cause.
The Fifth Amendment provides that citizens not be subject to criminal prosecution and punishment without due process. Citizens may not be tried on the same set of facts twice and are protected from self-incrimination (the right to remain silent). The amendment also establishes the power of eminent domain, ensuring that private property is not seized for public use without just compensation.
The Sixth Amendment assures the right to a speedy trial by a jury of one’s peers, to be informed of the crimes with which one is charged, and to confront the witnesses brought forward by the Government. The amendment also provides the accused the right to compel testimony from witnesses, as well as the right to legal representation.
The Seventh Amendment provides that civil cases preserve the right to trial by jury.
The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishments.
The Ninth Amendment states that the list of rights enumerated in the Constitution is not exhaustive, and that the people retain all rights not enumerated.
The Tenth Amendment assigns all powers not delegated to the United States, or prohibited to the States, to either the States or to the people.
“17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
