Christmas message from RenewAmerica
RenewAmerica staff
We at RenewAmerica want to wish you and your loved ones a Christ-centered Christmas and a joyous New Year!
As we reflect on Him who took upon Himself flesh (John 1:14) and "became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him" (Heb. 5:9 KJV), who was . . .
Let us also remember — as we contemplate the future of our nation in these troubling times — that our nation's future is ultimately in the hands of God, and therefore the fervent, unceasing prayers of God-fearing Americans will have more power to spare our country than anything else we could name, provided it be God's will, as reflected in these lines from the third verse of the National Anthem:
That includes committing ourselves completely to the will of God, setting an example of true faith and righteousness, and encouraging all other patriotic Americans to do likewise. (See "What can I do to help preserve America?")
One thing you might consider doing at the outset of this New Year is to sign the Pledge for America's Revival — posted at RenewAmerica's grassroots organizing website, AmericasRevival.com — and join with us in encouraging other God-fearing, patriotic Americans to work together in building a nonpartisan coalition for taking back our country.
Whether you choose to do this or not, let's all join together in fervently appealing to God to intervene and "preserve us a nation!" For —
Keep faith, and God bless,
