A Message from the Chairman

The Judeao-Christian values that were the founding fathers basis in establishing this nation are in danger of being stripped away from our society through "lack of knowledge"(Hosea 4:6). Knowledge, not in the intellectual sense, but in the biblical sense. In the last 50 years, we have seen intellectual knowledge increase at an astronomical rate. From nuclear energy, to landing a man on the moon, to communications satellites, to the internet. Mankind has more knowledge available today than ever before. Yet, biblical knowledge has decreased at a rate never dreamed of by the the brave men who founded and established the government of these United States of America. Most Americans today are uninformed about the rich spiritual heritage of our founding fathers and how the tenets of their faith in Jesus Christ were used to form our laws, our government and our society.

A portion of the words of Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States inscribed on the walls of the Jefferson Memorial in the nation's capitol help to give us some perspective. "God who gave us life, gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, and that His justice cannot sleep forever."

The dilemma we find ourselves in today, I believe, has a remedy. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 says "If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land." The meaning of this scripture is clear. Please join us as we humble ourselves and pray while encouraging others to pray according to 1Timothy 2:1-4 for those in leadership on the state, local and national levels. Pray that they would fear God, be capable, trustworthy, hate dishonest gain and for righteousness to thrive that we may rejoice and for our nation that all would know the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Thank you to all who have been encouraged to pray. Please know and understand, providential progress is being made. Thank you, again, for helping to restore Godly greatness to our land.
