What God did two millennia ago was so unexpected, so far from anything we could comprehend, we failed to recognize it. God, the Father showed us mercy. The infinitely Holy reached out to the utterly sinful. God, the Son came to us. The mundane was confronted by the miraculous--a Child in a manger, the Bread of Life in a feeding trough for animals. From the foundations of the earth, He planned mercy--in a manger. It was a mercy manger.

America - The sweet land of liberty: Home to a people who long to experience life to the fullest; home to a people willing to offer and endure what freedom demands. In the aftermath of the senseless and appalling terrorist attacks on Oklahoma City, New York City and Washington D.C., we are once again reminded that just as the benefits of freedom touch all of our lives, so does the cost. As valiant as our efforts are to defend all that we hold dear, we are now more aware than ever, that it takes Divine intervention to give us the wisdom and the courage to protect all that we hold sacred. This is a nation that boldly proclaims her trust in God. We are sustained in the present and assured of the future by the proof of the past. God has blessed America; God does watch over His children; God will lead His people. We hold to this truth: the temporal and vulnerable will soon give way to the Immortal and Invincible... There is a sweet land of liberty yet to come, a homeland that will never be corrupted or diminished by hatred and fear. It is a promised land made possible by a just and gracious God - the One true God: the God of all that was, the God of all that is, the God of all that will be. Great is His love; Great is His care; Great is His faithfulness.
