There is a clear covenant implied in our declaration of Independence-a covenant between God, the People, and the Government. When we, the People turn our hearts to God more than to our government or to ourselves, His Providence increases our personal wisdom and decreases our government dependence. We are individually and collectively freed.

The Divine Perspective


by Jeremy Winborg

While we cherish our own perspective, Mr. Winborg’s painting reminds us a higher and greater view comes as we seek to know the will, law and mind of God.  Our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, wisely establishes that the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God are the foundation of the American system.
 We can classify ourselves at any given time by what is ruling our life: Are we ruled by our own flesh, following only after what feels good at the moment?  Are we governed by our conscience keeping us from hurting others, or are we led by the Holy Spirit moving us toward acting, building and supporting “His Kingdom come His will done on earth as it is in Heaven”?  This painting reminds us of the beauty of that divine perspective and prepares our hearts for His message
