The Ideas Behind July 4th
By Scott S. Powell


Washington remains the greatest president in the minds of many because of his fearless courage in battle, his incredible perseverance against unfathomable odds, and his attendant faith in the providence that provided protection and empowered him to achieve the impossible.

As we reflect on the meaning of July 4th this year, we should celebrate and take heart that the same good ideas and principles -- natural God-given rights and obligations -- expressed in the Declaration of Independence -- that inspired Washington are as real today as they were then. And when these ideas and principles are acted upon by enough people, good will triumph over evil.
