--FAITH OF OUR FATHERS--

--History shows that many of the leaders who founded the United States of America were people of deep faith in Jesus Christ. As an entire culture now seems intent on abandoning that faith--the very foundation that made this nation great--we offer the following words as a reminder and a challenge to live for Christ today..~~ [Decision Magazine]

Blessed be His holy name!"
