“The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield
and government to gain ground.”

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”

They make me wonder if our founding father’s really believed that things would be any better here in in the United States. Perhaps we, as Christians, would be better off focusing on our efforts on converting the lost, and leaving the government in God’s hands. Or maybe I really need the camping trip this weekend.

God bless you and yours, and I’ll talk to you next week.

And your point is exactly right. If only we had learned the lesson of history a bit sooner.

Anyway, the Adams’ quote summarizes a lot of what I have been saying on my blog, The Foundation Forum. I did a post recently (as I promised) discussing liberty and virtue. It is only the first installment, and very basic. But our country needs to re-learn the basics of liberty, and other words which we throw around without knowing what they mean or what consequences are.

Thanks again. Happy FFQF!
