Happy Fourth of July
On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress voted to approve the Declaration of Independence, announcing the thirteen colonies’ separation from Great Britain. The next year, Philadelphians celebrated the first anniversary of American independence with a party. But, Independence Day (another name for the Fourth of July) parties didn’t become popular until after the War of 1812.
Fun Fact: Did you know that Congress finally passed a law making Independence Day a federal holiday on June 28, 1870?*

If it’s in the Bible, The Pirate Preacher knows the story. The gospel he teaches and preaches is not his own nor is it the opinion and words of theologians and scholars who study Scripture as though God’s word is dead.
Rather, he receives teaching daily by revelation from the living Spirit of Jesus Christ.
Monday nights he leads a “Jesus Study” in Moore Square, Raleigh, NC. Each Sunday you will find him in the park and at the bus station helping others enjoy the abundant life Jesus promised. Our Lord says, “I came that you might have life and that you would have life in all its fullness.” (John 10:10) The Pirate Preacher believes we are to participate in making the fullness of Jesus complete in others.
The Pirate Preacher helped launch Christian Devotions Ministries and is the former CEO of Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas, a Christian book publishing company. He’s also a Writers’ Coach.
