How liberty is lost!
Dear Friends,
Corruption, vice, bondage, slaves kissing their chains – what a horrible picture the great blind poet, best known for his “Paradise Lost”, paints. Ask yourself how far down that scale has our nation progressed? What am I doing about it? God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney

Galatians 5:1
“But what more oft in nations grown corrupt
And by their vices brought to servitude,
Than to love bondage more than liberty,
Bondage with ease than strenuous liberty?”
