Leading in the Right Direction
President’s Corner
Rededicate 250
Today from Washington D.C. a call is going out across the nation for Americans to rededicate ourselves to God. This powerful day of prayer, worship, and national reflection is bringing leaders, pastors, rabbis and the faithful from across the country to gather on the National Mall to reflect on this date, May 17,1776, when the Continental Congress declared a day of fasting and prayer. That same call is going out today. The history of America was built on the foundation of the Bible by predominantly Christian leaders who believed that God guided our fledgling nation to victory.
While some generations have tried to erase this idea, at this 250th anniversary of our nation, our president is rededicating the nation to God. When the highest civil authority, the President of the United States, does this, imagine what the ramifications are. When we honor God first, we are reminded that in the Declaration of Independence God is referred to as the Creator who endows humans with inalienable rights. In other words, God is the granter of human rights and the creator of natural law.
Today, our country will again be honoring God on the national stage. Part of this initiative is asking 1 million Americans to pray for one hour a week for our “One Nation Under God”, for as it says in 1 Samuel 2:30 “..those who honor me I will honor..” So on this day, 250 years later, we are honoring that call for every American to come together and pray. This is more important than ever considering the amount of division we see in our country and another recent assassination attempt on our president’s life.
This is a day for unity, for gratitude, for prayer so that people can come together to focus on something positive for our country. Because of the faith office that Donald Trump established in the White House we have seen the entire cabinet come together in prayer since the beginning of Trump’s term. Faith leaders from all denominations have been coming to the White House for over a year on a daily basis covering our nation in prayer. This unprecedented act of seeing the highest civil leader in the world reading the Bible from the sacred “Resolute Desk” is bringing our country back to our founding principles. History has taught us that awakenings, revivals and reformation come through prayer when we most need it. At this time of divisiveness in Congress & in our country, immigrants who chose not to assimilate to our way of life, teen suicides, transgender confusion, & 4- & 5-year-olds being exposed to graphic pornography, we need God more than ever.
The good news is there is a sense of something special happening in America. A reformation or awakening of sorts especially among Gen-Zer’s. Young people turning to God is at an all time high and Bible sales are up some 60% indicating a renewed interest. President Trump has given people of faith a seat at the table. At Rededicate 250 there will be faith leaders, musicians, and speakers like Secretary Pete Hegseth, Speaker Mike Johnson, Dr. Ben Carson & many more. You can watch it at Rededicate.org or on TV. God bless all of you and God Bless America!
