 Back in 2004, Chuck Colson delivered a breakpoint commentary that was entitled, A New Declaration of Dependence. The words he spoke back then were nothing less than prophetic. Here's Chuck Colson from July the 2nd, 2004. July 4th celebrates our liberty and national independence. I get a thrill every time I hear the cannons blast that rousing finality of the 1812 Overture. And I get a lump in my throat whenever I join in singing, America, America, God shed his grace on thee.
