| The men who built this country knelt before they signed. They did not wait for the work to be finished to seek God’s mercy on it. America at 250 needs the same posture, and the church has been out-worked for too long by movements that don’t even believe in the resurrection. If you can be in DC on May 17, be there. Either way, do not let this day pass quietly. |
| For Faith and Freedom, |
