The Need for Abiding Vigilance

This week, citizens throughout the nation will celebrate the 242nd birthday of the United States of America with barbecues, pool parties, fireworks and, hopefully, prayerful reflection on God’s blessings on the formation and sustaining of our republic.

We still need to raise a little more than $14,000 over the next two days in order to realize the full matching challenge.… Continue Reading
