John 8:31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my
word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free .

John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Freedom comes from truth and truth comes from the Lord Jesus Christ.

THE GLORY OF
AMERICA
As always, the person he most wanted
to share his feelings with was his wife
Abigail. On this day in 1776, with the
first post rider leaving for Massachu-
setts, he dispatched a prophetic letter.
That day, he said,
“Ought to be commemorated,
as the Day of Deliverance, by solemn
acts of devotion to God Almighty. It
ought to be solemnized with pomp and
parade, shows, games, sports, guns,
bells, bonfires and illuminations, from
one end of this continent to the other,
from this time forward forevermore.”
JULY 4
Signed by the delegates to the
Continental Congress in 1776, The
Declaration of Independence of the
United States contains these phrases:
“We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness....”
“With a firm reliance on the
protection of Divine Providence....”

She said, “I don’t, but I used to and

came home to go and get everything
we needed. She gave us the furniture.
It was wonderful and just what we
needed. We had been on top of it for
almost two months. So close and so
far away. God knew that we did not

to wait upon Him and He will supply

TID BITS OF WISDOM’S MONTHLY REPORT
Summer is moving along very swiftly. I know there always has been and
always will be 24 hours in a day, but it seems to be going so much faster than it
did in our youth. We kind of feel like we are on a merry-go-round (if you are
very young you might not know what that is). We never seem to finish a day, we
just stop until the next day and then start all over. This must be so much better
than being bored! What is it Job said? Job 14:1 “Man that is born of a woman
is of few days, and full of trouble.” So true, but we must also remember what
Solomon said. Ecc 9:10 “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy
might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the
grave, whither thou goest.”
This life is not forever. We have an appointed time in which we can work
for the Lord and His kingdom. We get so busy with our own personal agendas
that often we forget that we are here to serve the Lord. What are we doing for
the kingdom of God? This paper is a very small step at attempting to serve God’s
people, but it is a step. We have had many testimonies of God using this little
paper at just the right moment, with just the right message, for someone with a
great need. We desire to encourage the hearts of God’s people to keep going on
for the Lord. Don’t stop! Don’t quit! Don’t despair! Don’t turn around! Don’t
lose hope and whatever you do, don’t lose you joy, for that is your strength.
If this little paper could encourage your heart, when you need encour-
agement, then it will be worth it all. Not everyone can or should stop and write
a paper each month, but if you are not busy about reaching out to others at this
time, why don’t you join hands with us and support us as we reach out to others.
This little paper goes to over 1100 people each month. We have not worked at
increasing our output, but have added names as the Lord brings them to us. We
hope to add many this fall. Gloria and I will be celebrating our 50th anniversary
this September 1 and we hope to take the month of August and travel north. We
would like to visit some of Wonderful Word’s supporting churches, if at all pos-
sible. Maybe we will be able to meet you. We would like to get to know more
about the people on our mailing list. We love to hear how the good hand of the
Lord is working in other’s lives.
Again, we say thank you to all who have faithfully supported this work
and for the new ones who have joined us lately. As you give, please do not forget
to pray for God’s hand to be upon this work and for His leading, concerning the
articles each month. If you see God doing a great work, write to us and share it
with us.
Please pray for our country. As we celebrate our freedom, we must re-
member that it will not always be here if we do not return to the God of our fa-
thers. America has a great disease and needs the healing hand of God upon her.
He is her only hope.

NEXT time we would tithe! I went into the grocery store and bought a couple of
things and was going to wait until the next day to buy groceries. I lost my wallet
in the store. God got His tithe. The next day, one of the men at Jerry’s work heard
what had happened and loaned Jerry $40 until his next paycheck. Our groceries
cost us $80 that week. I don’t believe we have ever missed paying our tithe since
then. I have been very attentive to the needs of others around me since that expe-
rience and I’m grateful for the lessons I learned. --Editor

My Country 'Tis of Thee
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King.
