So far, these posts have concentrated on how the documents written at the founding of our republic did not uphold the rights of all its citizens. But it was a starting place, and a foundation on which to work for better understanding.
For more than 200 years, God has prompted many to put their own liberty on the line in order that others might gain their own previously denied rights. Our whole nation has gained whenever those disenfranchised individuals are able to live lives of opportunity.
Peggy Gunness has described how liberty is a faith issue for those who believe in God. “…God needs us to be partners with Him in bringing this world and the peoples of this world to the fullness of life for which we were all created.”
We do not yet live in a perfect country, but I am thankful for any progress we have made so far!
