Life, Liberty, Happiness

By Alistair Begg - www.truthforlif... | Independence Day provides an opportunity to reflect on the events surrounding America's beginning. In this message, Alistair Begg draws our attention to the ideals of Life, Liberty, and Happiness, and shows that they can be found most fully by depending on Jesus, the King of Kings.

God stays outside of our intuitive radar. I believe this is true. Today is the day of Salvation because the Father invaded my heart. Glory to Our Father.

When the Son makes you free, you are free indeed. Amen , Alistair!

This is absolutely spot on! I'm remind people all the time of what Samuel Adams spoke on August 1, 1776 as he was asked to comment on the Declaration of Independence. Adams had the moniker of "The Last Puritan" and in that speech he said, " Our forefathers threw off the yoke of popery in religion: for you is reserved the honor of levelling the popery of politics. They opened the Bible to all, and maintained the capacity of every man to judge for himself in religion. Are we sufficient for the comprehension of the sublimest spiritual truths, and unequal to material and temporal ones? Heaven hath trusted us with the management of things for eternity, and man denies us ability to judge of the present, or to know from our feelings the experience that will make us happy. "You can discern," say they, "objects distant and remote, but cannot perceive those within your grasp. Let us have the distribution of present goods, and cut out and manage as you please the interests of futurity." This day, I trust the reign of political protestantism will commence. We have explored the temple of royalty, and found that the idol we have bowed down to, has eyes which see not, ears that hear not our prayers, and a heart like the nether millstone. We have this day restored the Sovereign, to whom alone men ought to be obedient. He reigns in Heaven, and with a propitious eye beholds his subjects assuming that freedom of thought, and dignity of self-direction which He bestowed on them. From the rising to the setting sun, may His kingdom come."
