Brian Kerns: “On this National Day of Prayer, citizens all across our great Nation will gather to give thanks to our Father in heaven…”

“On this National Day of Prayer, citizens all across our great Nation will gather to give thanks to our Father in heaven for the blessings we have received and to ask humbly for His mercy. On this day it is important that we recognize the role faith and religion plays in our Nation from its founding to the present day. The Ten Commandments have been fundamental to the development of the basic legal principles of western civilization and our Nation. They have set forth a code of moral conduct that promises respect for our system of laws and the general good of society. Considering the positive influence they have had in our Nation, I believe we should proudly display the Ten Commandments and recognize the contributions they have made to the United States. While some would have them removed all religious references from the public square, the historical facts cannot be ignored. There are liberal organizations that have twisted the first amendment and use the threat of costly lawsuits to restrict religious expression in our Nation. In the face of this pressure, we must stand together and work to reverse this trend.”
