Hello Friend,
Revisionists of America’s history would have you believe that our nation was
founded on secular grounds and that “a great wall of separation between Church
and State” has been our guiding principle since the beginning. They would have
you believe that our founders wanted Christianity to be completely absent from
all forms and institutions of government.
The truth of the matter is that, over time, we have allowed secularists,
humanists, atheists, and infidels to pervert our Constitution into something
our founding fathers never intended.
Take a look at this quote from Benjamin Franklin, who wasn’t even a Christian.
He was a Deist:
“I have lived . . . a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing
proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a
sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an
empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured . . . in the sacred
writings, that ‘except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build
it.’”
In fact, it was Ben Franklin who suggested that the Constitutional Convention
should seek God’s blessing in an opening prayer at every session!
When I think about truths like this and contrast them with the utter contempt
for and avoidance of any semblance of Christian thought by today’s governing
leaders, I am both amazed and disgusted.

As a nation, we have turned slowly away from the God who “governs the affairs
of men” and relied instead on our own understanding. Look where it has got us:
* Since the Roe v Wade ruling in 1973, an average of 600,000 babies have been
murdered in the womb each year.
* As of 2018, gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and
teens.
* Every year, excessive drinking is responsible for the deaths of more than
3,500 people under the legal drinking age.
* We’ve pushed God out of our classrooms, courtrooms, and living rooms—and we
are reaping the consequences.
What’s the solution? We as a nation must invite Him back in. That starts with
changing individual hearts and lives. And that change can only come about
through the proclamation of God’s Word.
Sign the pledge to stand for Christian values in America

If you are ready to be counted among those who wish to live the true Christian
life without hesitation or apology, I invite you to sign a pledge resolving to
do so. This pledge, created by the ministry ofPathway to Victory, is a simple
way to show that you stand with us and believe that America is a Christian
nation. Change can and will take place when we as believers take our faith
seriously.
Will you stand shoulder to shoulder with me and pledge to stand for Christian
values in America?

There is hope for the future of America—and it starts with a firm resolve to
shine the light of Jesus Christ.
