Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture.

It's a wall builder's show taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical

and constitutional perspective and its foundations of Freedom Thursday.

We sure appreciate all of you that are sending in questions to us.

If you haven't sent one, you've got a question about the Declaration or the Constitution or history or biblical application of the timeless principles of liberty, send that in to us at radio at wallbuilders.com. That's radio at wallbuilders.com. Rick Green here with David and Tim Barton. Guys, we've got a lot of good ones. This one is about the intolerable acts. Okay, so

Britain said, can you guys take some time during your radio show to talk about the Articles of

Association of 1774 that were in response to the intolerable acts? So let's see, 1774, so we're

already past the 250th. It's kind of fun to do everything on the

250th but we're a year behind but anyway so this was this is great though to get the background

of a lot of things that end up leading to the 250th leading to the declaration of independence what do you

think guys yeah this this particular act doesn't get a lot of coverage but it it is super important in the overall building of America as an independent nation.

And building us as independent nation, I'm going to kind of go back a little bit as we often do to the scriptures and say, well, when Israel was becoming a republic, when they were taken out of slavery and became an independent nation, one of the things

God told them in Deuteronomy 7 and also Exodus 23 was, look, this is going to be a step-by-step

process.

There's going to be little by little.

It's not going to happen all at once.

And so what happened with America, prior to the American War for Independence, we were 13 separate

nations.

We talked before.

It's kind of like being in Europe.

It's France versus Spain versus Germany versus Italy.

They don't think alike.
