BILL OF RIGHTS
Hearing President Bush giving his State of the Union address and talking about setting up a Iraqi government with an established Bill of Rights got me thinking. It really is a good thing we have a Bill of Rights here that guarantees such certain inalienable rights, such as freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
But are we really lucky to have that?
Wouldn't you agree that our spiritual lives would be that much more meaningful and special to us if we were risking persecution to meet, pray, and worship together? How would we feel about CEFC if we had to gather underground, hidden from the police, and sing very quietly? I'm sure we would disregard Sunday services like we are prone to do.
We are so lucky. Let's not take it for granted.
