Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
Dec 28, 2020
"It is important that our voices are heard in the public square. The whole battle for religious liberty is about our ability to bring our faith into the public to exercise it in our daily lives. Many want to confine it to simply 'you're free to go to church' 'you're free to worship as you would like to worship'. But it ends there. Yet in reality, that's not religious liberty at all.
Religious liberty is our ability to exercise our conscience in everything we do. If we lose that, then all of our rights are gone. All of our rights are founded in the idea that they were given to us by God and we have the freedom to bring that faith, those values, those principles into the public square, in our workplace, in government, in academia, etc. All of those things are something that we should engage in on a regular basis. So we fight the good fight.
Ultimately, results are not up to us. The results are up to the Lord. But the Apostle Paul said 'not to be weary in well doing for in due season we will reap our reward.' So for more than three decades, we have been fighting for the sanctity of human life as an outpouring of our faith, our confidence in the Lord and our belief that we are created in the image of God.
As a result of that, we have brought that fight to the public square.
We have not been weary in well-doing.
It may very well be that in the not too distant future, with the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, we will reap the reward and see the overturn of Roe v. Wade, one of the worst decisions in the history of the United States that has resulted in the death of millions and millions of innocent children. Who knows what contributions they may have made to our society? Perhaps even a cure for COVID!
This is something important to us. We will not relent. We will not stop. We will not quit. God will honor that. Remember this: at the end of the day, the thing that is required of us is that we simply are found faithful. When we stand before the Lord, when I stand before the Lord, I want to be able to know that I was faithful to the heavenly calling and I endured to the end.
That's why we are here. That's why all of these folks are here. We stand for the sanctity of human life. We want to be faithful to the heavenly calling and to not quit in spite of what have been overwhelming odds. Maybe now in the very near future, we will prevail."
