The Manhattan Declaration

Jim Daley, President and CEO of Focus On The Family, has this to say regarding the Manhattan Declaration;
"The document is...a renewed rallying cry to those who have been engaged in this historic effort of spiritual and cultural conversion. This is not a manifesto for culture war; it is a prescription for cultural change...
As a unified body, we are acknowledging that our faith is strong and redemptive, but it's not necessarily a comfortable and easy pursuit. Standing up for our beliefs can often come at great cost."

I am posting this on Thanksgiving Day 2009 and at this point Christian Americans still have much more than a remnant of the Christian heritage left us by our Founding Fathers in our culture and government. As a Christian American I exhort and remind my brothers and sisters to take up their cross, follow Him, be ready in and out of season and not to be weary in well doing! We are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against the spirit of anti-christ in our generation. Christ is still building His church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Christ's purposes will be fulfilled.
