July 4th and our allegiance to the Lamb

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas - (FOX 4 KDFW) Fourth of July 2023 celebrations in North Richland Hills included a world record-breaking drone show. Fort Worth-based Sky Elements used 1,002 drones with LEDs to light up the sky, earning a Guinness World Record for the "largest aerial sentence formed by multirotor/drones." The company says the show focused on critical moments in American history, including the moon landing and Paul Revere's ride. Sky Elements said the drones are a "greener and safer" alternative to traditional fireworks. Impressive indeed! 

It's great to see “fireworks” that remind us about our history and hopefully encourage us to re-read the Declaration of Independence, the preamble to our U.S. Constitituion and the Bill of Rights. Most of America's founding fathers were Bible-readers and were largely inspired by the principles explained in the Bible as they wrote the Constitution and worked to establish a society based on those principles.  That's the Book we need to be reading above all others. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).

There is a parallel between our founding father's allegiance to this country and our allegiance to the Lamb, Jesus Christ the Son of man. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LukJQE931DU
