Declaration of Dependence

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.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government. So let me ask you a question. Who governs you? Perhaps your independence has become destructive. Perhaps it is time to abolish it and trust in a new way to be governed. John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." All men struggle with being dependent on God. We take pride in our independence. Yet true freedom is only found in dependence not through independence. Join us as we talk about the struggle of dependence as we celebrate our independence.
