There is a sentence most Americans have spoken out loud. They said it in classrooms as children, hand over heart, eyes on the flag. They said it at ball games and moments of national grief. Many said it without thinking much about what the words actually meant.
One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
America turns 250 this year. And that anniversary feels less like a birthday party and more like a reckoning. We have accomplished extraordinary things. We have also never felt more divided. For believers, the deeper question is this: have we forgotten who we are?
You’re Invited! On Sunday, May 17, as we come together to reaffirm our answer.
The One Nation Under God celebration at Paradise Acres welcomes everyone who believes that our nation’s foundation is rooted in faith in God. It is neighbors standing together to remember who we are. It is an evening of gratitude and rededication as believers from every tradition recommit this nation to the God who established it and Jesus Christ who sustains it.
The founders built this nation on a deep conviction that freedom was not something governments invent. It is something God ordains. They understood what many have forgotten. A nation without God at its center cannot hold.
We have inherited something rare. Most people who have ever lived on this earth did not grow up free. The Americans who came before us bled for those rights. This celebration is a public declaration that we have not forgotten that. That we still believe Jesus Christ is Lord over this nation, and we are asking Him to be.
The evening includes live music, food, family activities, and special speakers. It runs from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and is open to anyone who loves this country and believes its greatest days are still ahead.
The ancient words of the Psalmist say it simply and say it best.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Psalm 33:12
