“Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias." "But he who looks into the perfect
law of liberty [God's
law] and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,
this one will be blessed
[by the Lord Himself] in what he does." "Now the
Lord is the Spirit; and [ONLY] where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." "Stand
fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,
and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage [to the government,
the legal profession, or the income tax]." "If you abide in My [God's] word,
you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free." ”This I say,
therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer
walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their
mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from
the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because
of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling,
have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness
with greediness.” |

1. INTRODUCTION
For a simplified introduction to our ministry for busy professionals, please view the following training course:
There is a very good reason why this page is entitled "Liberty University" instead of "Freedom University". Liberty means freedom PLUS personal responsibility. Those who want to avoid personal responsibility seek "freedom" instead of "liberty". What most politicians deceptively call "freedom" is really nothing more than legislatively created "franchises" that are designed to enslave the people using their own sin and DESTROY your God-given rights, not protect or preserve them.
“Liberty Means Responsibility. That's why most men dread it.”
[George Bernard Shaw]"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish [presumptuous or irresponsible] men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of [RESPONSIBLE TO] God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood."
[1 Peter 2:15-17, Bible, NKJV]There is a grave need in America for educational curricula and materials to teach ordinary people (the "joe six pack" types) about freedom, law, sovereignty, and taxes. Instructional materials which are succinct and boil the issues down to their barest, common-sense essentials but which at the same time grab and captivate people's hearts and minds is very difficult to find indeed. The government and the legal profession have also done their best to keep this kind of information out of the hands of the masses, because it threatens and undermines their power and influence. Offerings available on the Family Guardian Website, while they are very complete and detailed, do not teach these concepts in a simple, or high-level manner that is appealing to large crowds of newly introduced people who are interested in learning more about the subject. The focus of this page is therefore to offer educational materials that are devoted to such a purpose. It is our intention to use your gracious donations to our ministry for the following purposes:
- Develop animated, video tutorial versions of all Powerpoint slideshows that can be viewed on both high- and low-bandwidth internet connections
- Expand the educational curricula offerings over time so that a complete curriculum of freedom materials are available for those who want to start "Sovereignty Fellowships" in their area and throughout the country.
- Assemble these core training materials into a CD-ROM and accompanying workbook suitable for mass-distribution at low cost
- Develop "Fellowship Articles", that will help volunteers organize and fund and maintain their Sovereignty Fellowships, so that we have a sustainable political base upon which to institute the political and legal and tax reforms that are so desperately needed.
- Use the above materials to create a nation-wide network of politically and legally active Americans who are focused on change and reform, and who partner frequently and regularly with other like-minded institutions and organizations.
- Pay for the high bandwidth required to host the large files appearing on this page.
The above approach is the only way to take the United States of America and its corrupted government back from the thieves and Pharisees who have hijacked it for their own personal gain. The U.S. government and the state governments were established as a "public trust", and the "trustees", who are our "public servants" have taken it over and made it into their "alter ego" for personal gain, because the "beneficiaries", We the People, fell asleep at the wheel. We were put to sleep by a corrupted government public education system that doesn't teach children about law or the Constitution or the
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy [our public dis-servants] came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop [We, the American People, are the "crop"], then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy [our corrupted public dis-servants] has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest [the final judgment], and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat [us believers and
[Matt. 13:24-30, Bible, NKJV]The problems and obstacles that we face as a people are mainly political, and not legal, in nature and require a remedy within the political sphere. This page was inspired by the following article:

It is, of course, true that statutory construction [or interpretation] “is a holistic endeavor” and that the meaning of a provision is “clarified by the remainder of the statutory scheme ... [when] only one of the permissible meanings produces a substantive effect that is compatible with the rest of the law.” United Sav. Assn. of Tex. v.
