We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident (4 of 6)
Series: Truths for Life

Genesis 1:1, 27-28, 31
''...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.''

Even as they were meeting in Philadelphia and approving this document British Warships filled with British soldiers were arriving in New York Harbor. These men believed that they had the God-given right to live free and were willing to put their lives on the line for that freedom. As we celebrate our countries 4th of July this Wednesday I thought it might be appropriate for us to consider a couple of questions ourselves. 1) Are there any truths in our life that we hold to be ''self-evident''? 2) How can we proclaim what we believe to be ''self-evident'' truths? 3) Is there anything we believe in so strongly that we would be willing to die for it? Important questions for us as followers of Jesus Christ...LETS PRAY)
