Third F Message on Dates surrounding Independence Day:
APRIL 19, 1775: The Revolutionary War begins with shots fired at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts.
JUNE 7, 1776: Richard Henry Lee introduces a motion in a meeting of the Continental Congress that the United States IS AND SHOULD BE DECLARED free from ties to Great Britain. Delegates disagree about the wisdom of the idea, which comes to be called the “Lee Resolution”. Eventually, the Congress appoints a Committee of Five to draft a Declaration of Independence for consideration.
JUNE 11, 1776: John Adams convenes the Committee of Five to draft a Declaration of Independence. The five members of the committee are John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston and Roger Sherman. The committee chooses Jefferson to write the first draft.
JULY 2, 1776: The Continental Congress votes to declare independence from Great Britain, formally adopting the Lee Resolution. The next day John Adams writes in a letter to his wife that, “The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America….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”.
JULY 3, 1776: The Continental Congress begins debating and editing the draft Declaration, eventually making 86 edits and cutting the length by about a fourth.
JULY 4, 1776: The Continental Congress approves the final draft of the Declaration, formalizing what had already been decided on July 2. Congress hires printer John Dunlap to print copies of the Declaration to be distributed throughout the colonies.
JULY 9, 1776: A copy of the Declaration of Independence had reached New York City. With Hundreds of British Naval ships occupying New York Harbor, revolutionary spirit and military tensions were running high. George Washington, commander of the Continental forces in New York, read the document aloud in front of City Hall. A raucous crowd cheered the inspiring words, and later that day tore down a nearby statue of George III. The statue was subsequently melted down and shaped into more than 42,000 musket balls for the fledgling American Army.

Happy Independence Day 2017: Bible Verses
and Quotes To Reflect On What Freedom Means In America
JUL 02, 2017 07:26 PM EDT
From Christianity Daily.com
Fourth
of July marks the moment in history when representatives of a new government
uprising signed the Declaration of Independence in the United States on July 4,
1776. The document listed grievances suffered by the U.S. colonies under
British monarchy and justified a desire for liberty. It was penned by Thomas
Jefferson. Also known as Independence Day, it is an annual holiday that
symbolizes freedom. It is celebrated nationwide in 2017 on Tuesday, July 4.
Although declared in 1776,
Americans were not delivered from bondage until 1783. The high cost of freedom
was paid for in blood, in what historians estimate to be the death of 25,000
American Patriots. It took eight years, four months, and fifteen days of war between
America and Great Britain during the American Revolution to be fully attained.
The Oxford dictionary defines
freedom as “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants
without hindrance or restraint.” It is also defined as the “absence
of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government,” and “the
state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.” Christianity Daily compiled a
list of Bible verses and quotes that shed light on the true meaning of freedom.
As
the United States of America celebrates Independence Day on July 4, it’s worth
noting the nation was founded upon the idea that God created human beings to be
free. The Declaration of Independence states that people “are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and
the pursuit of Happiness.”
But
what is “liberty,” exactly? Is freedom based upon the country where you live,
or can it have a deeper meaning?
Here
are some key ideas from the Bible about freedom—including how to find true
freedom in your life.
1. People have been searching for it for thousands
of years.
The
quest for freedom is a theme found throughout the Bible, from Genesis to
Revelation. Just three chapters into the story of God’s creation, humanity gave
up its freedom by choosing to rebel against God. From that time forward, the
perfect freedom God created in the Garden of Eden was gone, and the long-term
effects were both physical and spiritual.
The
Old Testament of the Bible records how God’s people lost their physical freedom
time and again as various empires overtook them (most notably the Egyptians, as
recorded in the book of Exodus).
The loss of physical freedom was often
tied to spiritual disobedience like worshiping false gods. But time and again,
the one true God forgave His people and rescued them. When God freed the
Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He was foreshadowing the arrival of Jesus Christ,
who came to free humanity from sin—the spiritual slavery that leads to death.
Today, many people are living in
spiritual slavery without realizing it. They chase false gods of money,
success, personal comfort and romantic love—only to realize they still have an
emptiness that can’t be filled by any of those things.
2. God’s answer to our loss of freedom has always
been Jesus Christ.
When Jesus began his short period of
ministry on the earth, He announced He was the One that God’s people had been
waiting for since the fall of humanity. He did this by reading a particular
passage from the book of Isaiah—a passage his listeners knew was referring to
the Messiah, or the Savior of the world.
The words had been written hundreds of
years earlier and spoke of a new freedom that was coming in the future. When
Jesus stood up to read, He was saying the future had arrived. Liberty would come through Him.
“And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He
unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to
the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are
oppressed, to
proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.’
And he rolled up the scroll and
gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the
synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, ‘Today this
Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing’” (Luke 4:17-21, emphasis added).
“For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him
should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
The Good News—the best news ever—is
that faith in Jesus frees us from the death we deserve for sinning against God.
It frees us from the punishment that would be inflicted upon us at the end of
our lives for the evil things we’ve thought and done.
While Christ followers still battle
with sin, they are no longer slaves to it. Through the power of Christ, His
people can be set free from the bondage of greed, vanity, pride,
pornography, addiction, abusive behavior, gluttony, selfishness—and any other sin under the
sun. Here’s what Jesus
said about the freedom He offers:
“If
you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,and you will know
the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32).
“Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone
who practices sin is a slave to sin.The slave does not remain in the house
forever; the son remains forever. So if
the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:34-36).
God created human beings, not robots.
We don’t have to accept the freedom He offers us through Jesus Christ. He gives each person the free will to accept or reject His salvation.
But the Bible warns that hell is a real place where real people end up when
they knowingly reject the truth.
Likewise,
those who choose Christ are not forced to obey Him at every turn. But God makes
it clear: the best life is one that’s devoted to honoring Him. As the Apostle
Paul explained to some of the first Christians:
“’All things are lawful for me,’” but not all things are
helpful. ‘All things are lawful for me,’ but I will not be dominated by
anything” (1 Corinthians 6:12).
“For you were called to
freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the
flesh, but through love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13).
From cover to cover, God’s Word points
to freedom in Christ. And God doesn’t leave us wondering how to grab hold of
the freedom He offers. It starts with acknowledging our brokenness—and
admitting we are slaves to sin. And it ends with choosing Jesus and following Him daily. Only He
can break the bonds of slavery and lead us to true freedom, now and forever.

IT AIN’T OVER! – #2581 “Well, some of us had to wait almost 20 years for it – but the 1996 New York Yankees finally won the World Series. Now they had to be the champs to do it – the Atlanta Braves. And after the first two games of the best-of-seven series, I thought the Yankees had gone into a coma – they got creamed. Ah, but that’s when it got exciting – they came back to win next two games. The series was tied at two games apiece, of course – and the then Yankees appeared to doze off again in Game Five – they were behind 6-0! Speaking of dozing off, that’s what at least one Yankee fan did – including the guy I heard buying a newspaper the next day. He saw the headline announcing that the Yankees had come back and won that game 8-6! He grabbed that newspaper, saw the outcome of the game, and then said some things I can’t quote – after which he said, “I can’t believe it! I gave up on them in the seventh inning and went to sleep!” He missed a great victory.
Well,
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “It
Ain’t Over!”
Our
word for today from the Word of God is a verse we need at least several times a
year, I think. Maybe this is one of your days for it and God knew that. Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the
proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
God
is challenging the mistake we make so often that costs us His best – we give up
too soon. Like that sleeping Yankees fan. He looked at the way the game seemed
to be going, decided it was as good as over, and he missed a great victory.
Well, God doesn’t want you to make that same mistake with something you’ve been
hoping for – something that looks like it just isn’t going to happen. You’re
tempted to give up. But God is flagging you down to say, “Don’t become
weary in doing good – the harvest you’ve hoped for is coming.” Like Yogi
Berra said, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over.”
The
problem is we look at the score right now and lose hope. But on God’s
scoreboard, it’s only the third inning, or maybe the sixth or the seventh. But,
you may be saying, “There just isn’t enough time for it to happen
now,” or “I can’t see any way it could happen now” – be careful.
You’re underestimating your all-powerful God – the One who delivered an entire
nation from Egypt in one night!
But
we tend to assume what the final score will be based on the score in the middle
of the game. And that’s when we give up and start taking God’s will detours –
we panic, we put together some patchwork solution of our own, we start leaning
on our own understanding instead of trusting in the Lord with all our heart, or
we just stop hoping, or praying, or working for it.
Which
leads me to that wonderful challenge I heard years ago from a seasoned old
saint – “Never doubt in the darkness what God has told you in the
light.”
Or, don’t give up in the middle of the game, or don’t give up even if it’s near the end of the game. You can’t tell what God is going to do for a wonderful finish to this game. God has a way of hitting a bases loaded, grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth with two outs – if you don’t give up before that harvest comes! I just hope you don’t miss that grand finish because you gave up on the game too soon!” From Ron Hutchcraft Ministries #2581″
Dawn and I were blessed with the opportunity to share an incredible blessing with a terminally ill seven year old. He had an inoperable brain tumor. We attended a Phillies game through a great organization where Dawn coordinated the efforts on the families behalf. The young man and his family are huge Phillies fans. The game we attended happened to be the ring ceremony for 2008 World Series champions, but the 2009 Phillies had yet to win. Down 10 – 3 in the seventh the Phillies put together an improbable rally that included four walked in runs by the Atlanta Braves. I’ve coached little league teams that haven’t matched that feat. I’m not convinced that God is a Phillies fan, but I choose to believe that he may have answered a very sick little boys prayers on that day. We were blessed to have been a part of that special game, and to share in comforting that very brave young man before the Lord took him home.

Below are excerpts from the blog site ActiveChristianity.org by Brunstad Christian Church in reference to Forgiveness.
Forgiving others can be really difficult
“Forgiving others is important, but sometimes it can be really difficult to do. Why should I forgive, and how can I do it?
“Then
Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me,
and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you,
up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’” Matthew 18:21-22.
“For
if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive
you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15.
Forgiving
others who have wronged you, whether for a relatively small thing, or for a
seriously damaging act against you, can sometimes seem like an insurmountably
difficult thing to do. In some cases it’s a process that really takes time.
Yet, the Bible is crystal clear on the necessity of it. And there are no caveats
such as “unless,” “if,” or “but.” As in all things, we need to look to our
Forerunner, Captain, and Master as our example.
“Father forgive them”
Christ
suffered unrighteousness—even cruel unrighteousness. No one could have suffered
more unrighteously than Christ. And some of the last words He ever uttered
were: “Father forgive them, they know
not what they do.” Is it easy? No. Is it impossible? “All things are possible to him who
believes,” said Jesus. (Mark 9:23) All things.
And
when you don’t have the power, when you know that it is not in you to forgive,
then you have to find it in Christ. “I can do
all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:12-13.
Does forgiving negate the pain you have suffered? Does it reverse the things
that have happened to you? Does it mean the person who wronged you doesn’t have
to take responsibility for his/her actions? No, but you will be free from the
thoughts of hatred and bitterness and the burden they are. Forgiveness is not
only done for the sake of the one you are forgiving, but for your own sake, so
that you don’t have to live with the burden.
“But
to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in
His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.” Malachi 4:2.
The
fact that you forgive someone does not condone what they have done, nor does it
by any means make it all right. Trust is not implicit in forgiveness, nor is
forgetting obligatory. “Forgive and forget” is not a Biblical quote. It is one
thing to be wary and aware, and another thing to hate and resent.
God is righteous
Ideally the one who has harmed
you would repent and atone for what they’ve done as well. But make sure your
healing is independent of that. You should forgive regardless of their
attitude. Their sins are between them and God. It is right for someone to face
up to the consequences of their actions according to earthlyRefers to
everything of this earth, as opposed to heavenly things. Example: Earthly
treasures/heavenly treasures. The earthly things pass away (are temporal), but
the heavenly things are eternal. (Matthew 6:19-21;…authority and law, and they
will also someday stand before God’s face and have to give account for their
actions, and God is righteous above all else. But judgment and vengeance belong
to God.
It
is important to note that forgiveness is not a feeling, it is a choice.
Choosing forgiveness will mean that you have to go to God on your knees for the
power to forgive. It’s choosing not to let thoughts of hatred rule in your
heart. It’s choosing to go to God to find help and comfort instead of dwelling
on the past, even when our feelings would rather do anything but. The power we
need for this we get from the Holy Spirit. Jesus, “when He was reviled, did not revile in
return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who
judges righteously.” 1 Peter 2:23.
Draw near to God, and in His love you’ll find everything you need.”
