“It is Christ Who died, and furthermore is also risen,
Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also makes intercession for us.”
Romans 8:34
We sing: How Great is Your Love
What kind of love is this, that a man would give His life, for a dying world, that may never recognize…
You made a way! You made a way!
How great is Your love! How great is Your love! How great is Your love that You have poured on us!
How great is Your love! How great is Your love! How great is Your love for us!
Nothing or no one could separate me from Your love! You made a way!
Nothing or no one could separate me from Your love! You made a way!
How great is Your love! How great is Your love! How great is Your love that You have poured on us!
How great is Your love! How great is Your love! How great is Your love for us!
How great is Your love! How great is Your love for us!

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage
and for all the members of their family.
We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
We ask that in every situation and decision, President Trump will be led by the Holy Spirit!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Monday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
The Battle for the Survival of the Nation! – Part 42
The President’s Advisory 1776 Commission Report – Part 21
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
Proverbs 14:34
Today, as we continue to review and pray into the 1776 Commission Report, we begin with these words of wisdom from Scripture that were echoed in the writings of the commanding General of the Union Army in the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant, who then became our 18th President. Grant said:
“Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties;
write its precepts in your hearts, and practice them in your lives.
To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization,
and to this we must look for our guide in the future.”
‘Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.’
Pray.
GENUINE CIVICS EDUCATION
Civics and government classes should rely almost exclusively on primary sources that link students with the real events and persons they are studying. The writings, speeches, first-hand accounts, and documents of those who were acting out the drama of history open a genuine communication, mediated by the written word, between historical figures and students that can bring to life the past. Primary sources without selective editing also allow students to study principles and arguments unfiltered by present-day historians’ biases and agendas. Pray.
It is important for students to learn the reasons America’s Founders gave for building our country as they did. Students should learn and contemplate what the Founders’ purposes, hopes, and greatest concerns truly were, and primary sources will help them begin these considerations. Students should not read the Declaration of Independence as archaeology but as the idea that animates our nation with claims that are true for all time. Pray.
In his 1775 essay Farmer Refuted, Alexander Hamilton reminds us in one of those primary documents
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records.
They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature,
by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.
Pray.
Civics and government classes ought to teach students about the philosophical principles and foundations of the American republic, including natural law, natural rights, human equality, liberty, and constitutional self-government.
- Students should learn the reasons why our constitutional order is structured as a representative democracy and why a constitutional republic includes such features as the separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism.
- They should study the benefits and achievements of our constitutional order, the Civil War’s challenge to that order, and the ways the Constitution has been changed, not only by amendment and not always for the better, over the course of time.
- Finally, these classes ought to culminate in the student’s understanding and embracing the responsibilities of good citizenship. Pray.
A genuine civics education focuses on fundamental questions concerning the American experiment in self-government. The best way to proceed is for the teacher to assign core original documents to students to read as carefully and thoroughly as they are able and then initiate age-appropriate discussion to surface and consider the
meaning of the document. Teachers will find that students of every age have a genuine interest in engaging in discussion (and disagreement) about what these documents say, because they soon realize these enduring words speak to their own lives and experiences. Pray.
Today, we come to the CONCLUSION of our review of the 1776 Commission Report! For the past 21 days, we have experienced a refresher course in what many of us learned in our youth; and we have rejoiced over the wondrous things God has done in and through our nation. We have also have wept over our past transgressions, and thanked God for correcting us and bringing us back on track! Today, we thank Him for 244 years of faithfulness to us, and ask that we will fulfill our destiny to be used by Him in the end times harvest! Pray.
Among the virtues to be cultivated in the American republic, the Founders knew that a free people must have a knowledge of the principles and practices of liberty, and an appreciation of their origins and challenges. While this country has its imperfections, just like any other country, in the annals of history the United States has achieved the greatest degree of personal freedom, security, and prosperity for the greatest proportion of its own people and for others around the world. These results are the good fruit of the ideas the founding generation expressed as true for all people at all times and places. Pray.
An authentic civics education will help rebuild our common bonds, our mutual friendship, and our civic devotion. But we cannot love what we do not know. This is why civics education, (education relating to the citizen), must begin with knowledge, which is, as George Washington reminds us, “the surest basis of public happiness.” Pray.
Since antiquity, the liberal arts have occupied a central position in Western Civilization’s approach to education. Originating as a body of knowledge that was essential for free citizens of ancient Greek city-states to execute their civic responsibilities, the liberal arts (or the arts of liberty), are considered the key to cultivating the well rounded and virtuous citizenry essential to democratic rule and span a breadth of subjects traditionally including grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. According to Cicero, the liberal arts developed, from poetry, history, and oratory “for the purpose of fashioning the minds of the young according to humanitas and virtue.” Throughout history, even into the twentieth century, a large body of writers from Thomas Aquinas, to Petrus Paulus Vergerius, to Mark Van Doren have described the central role of the liberal arts in forming independent citizens capable of self-governance. Pray.
Thus concludes our study of the 1776 Commission Report! We now read the names of those involved aloud, and ask that God will bless and protect all who participated in preparing this report. They have contributed greatly, bringing this historic information to the forefront for all Americans, especially our youth!
