give them, He will. From my own experience I can tell you that this is the best way to live.

My prayer is that you will at least think about what I am saying. If you don’t already, take your children to church, where they will receive spiritual training that will serve as the foundation for a happy, successful life. When they get older, they will love and thank you for it. From my observation, this is really the solution to most of America’s problems. To have religious freedom is one of the main reasons our forefathers left their mother country and came to a land that would become the United States of America.

As I have said before in this column, of the eight Ivy League colleges, seven were founded to teach how to preach the Gospel, with Cornell being the exception. We have the kind of heritage of which we can be proud. The reason America became the greatest nation in the world is because God blessed us. Our founders truly knew and understood what II Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” What a promise, and I believe it’s true.

Personally, I am more than ready for the bickering in Washington to stop and we will again work together as a people and restore the bright city on the hill.
