Happy Independence Day!
History records that in Independence Hall, fifty-six men came forward to sign a parchment. It was noted at the time that they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors. And that was more than rhetoric; each of those men knew the penalty for high treason to the Crown. “We must all hang together,” Benjamin Franklin said, “or, assuredly, we will all hang separately.” And John Hancock, it is said, wrote his signature in large script so King George could see it without his spectacles. They were brave. They stayed brave through all the bloodshed of the coming years. Their courage created a nation built on a universal claim to human dignity, on the proposition that every man, woman, and child had a right to a future of freedom….
My fellow Americans, it falls to us to keep faith with them and all the great Americans of our past…. The things that unite us — America’s past of which we’re so proud, our hopes and aspirations for the future of the world and this much-loved country — these things far outweigh what little divides us. We are all Americans….
With heart and hand, through whatever trial and travail, we pledge ourselves to each other and to the cause of human freedom, the cause that has given light to this land and hope to the world.

I Timothy
Writing to the Pastor of the Ephesian church, Paul addresses Timothy on his role in directing the church’s attention toward the things that pertain to sound doctrine and godly edification in faith.
Discussing such topics as controversial doctrines that cause divisions, sciences that are falsely so called, the New Testament purpose of the law, the roles of various leaders within the church, general concepts of true godliness, and what it means to follow after righteousness, faith, love, and patience, Paul better explains the vital matters of spiritual understanding and Christian living.
“This charge I commit to thee, Timothy…, that thou mightest war a good warfare; holding faith and a good conscience…” (I Tim 1:18-19).
