It's Constitution Day...
The U.S. Constitution has withstood the test of time for more than two centuries as our nation’s charter of government and the guarantor of our liberties. Signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, this founding document reflects our core values and enshrines the truths set forth in the Declaration of Independence, that we are all endowed with certain unalienable rights.

Have you seen or completed the small group study "The Truth Project"? It's pretty thought provoking in how in our country's effort to be political correct we have eroded the foundation of the early documents of this country away from what the founding fathers wanted. Our Constitution is one of the greatest documents ever written and still the best in the World but the liberties the courts and politicians have taken in interpreting it leave something to be said.

Doug - I haven't seen "The Truth Project". I'll ask our group if anyone else has.
