The largest lies ever told were that the founders of our country were not Christians. They were, their own correspondence speaks for itself.

>Freedom of religion is entirely different than freedom from religion, though both represent a moral choice.

I would say freedom of religion is the capability to make a moral choice without government coercion; freedom from religion is an amoral choice.

Retired Magistrate here: Our founders understood that the only way a representative republic could work would be that if those elected were of good moral character. Somewhere along the way individuals of good moral character were replaced by those who were more motivated by how much they could benefit financially rather than serving the public interest.

Unfortunately, that is where we are today. The exception of course would be President Trump who has given up so much in order to serve the country that he loves. Is President Trump a “Christian” I don’t know, but what I do know is that President Trump is the kind of person the founders had in mind to serve. Is he perfect no, none of us are, but President Trump does have the country’s best interest at heart.

1A: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …”

Thomas Jefferson Letter To The Danbury Baptists (1802): “the First Amendment built a wall of separation between Church & State”.

There is no “wall” in the matter of religious liberty, except against government abridging our natural rights. There is only freedom, God-given freedom, which cannot be abridged.

“Those of dark whispered voices are shrieking loudly today, directing their soulless vessels to shout opposition to the Christian rededication of our nation.”

I would venture to say that he vast majority of them lack basic reasoning and critical thinking skills. All they seem to do is to be able to react to some perceived injustice emotionally, without being able to express a coherent response intellectually.

Brought tears (of joy) to my eyes…..we have such truly great leaders at the helm of this nation. Thank you, God, for their courage and wisdom. And please keep them safe – they have a big job in front of them.

There may be some who were shocked and disappointed in equal measures when President Trump selected Marco Rubio to serve as Secretary of State. But none more so than I.

What on earth was he doing??

Today I stand in humility to say, as I have previously, I was wrong…so wrong.

Secretary of State Rubio, I truly believe, is fulfilling God’s divine purpose for him for this moment. I saw and heard this man of deep faith in this address at peace with himself, as I have heard him before in addresses which (of course) receive no coverage.

Further, I have great faith that Almighty God was present today at this remarkable Rededication of our America from which He was removed as its Cornerstone. When two or three are gathered together in His Name…

Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn wrote long ago….

“I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval. But if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat:

Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”

We as a nation have gone through terrible, dark times, His grace absent from us it seems…we must admit that as a Republic we, too, had forgotten Him.

But today the Holy Cornerstone has been returned by proclamation of President Trump, Builder.

And Secretary Rubio, true Statesman, delivered the right, faith filled tone for the moment.

We pray a loving, forgiving, merciful Father will restore His grace for which we cry out. Amen.
