If you can keep it…
The Founding July 4, 1776: the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing separation from Great Britain. Thirteen colonies, fifty-six signers.

Rooted… Strengthen the things which remain
Stale. That’s the word that describes the American church. This word has been heavy on me lately. Sardis And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
