Proclaim Liberty Throughout


Liberty Bell, Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall, Philadelphia, PA. (3 Nov. 2003)

If one looks closely at this photo, he can make out the top inscription on the bell reads "Lev. XXV VX Proclaim..." The full text inscribed on the Liberty Bell reads as follows:

"Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof" from Leviticus 25:10 of the Bible.

Fellow Americans and Christians, some of you are stressed that the godless ACLU might file suit to declare the government showing of the Libery Bell with this inscription is in violation of the First Amendment. Fear not.

This is not not a life and death matter. "The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever" (1 John 2:17, NASB). Let the ACLU and its ilk agrue their mission in God's court. That day will come.

Therefore, the thing to hold dare in our hearts and minds from this day to eternity is the Lamb of God has already paid the price to free us from sin and judgement.

"So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36 NASB)

This is the message of liberty we are to proclaim. And on this 229th birthday of these United States, let us thank Him for his faithfulness and mercy to all its inhabitants.
