Isaiah 1:4 (NIV) Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.
"America first proclaimed its independence on the basis of self-evident moral truths. America will remain a beacon of freedom for the world as long as it stands by those moral truths which are the very heart of its historical experience... And so America: if you want peace, work for justice. If you want justice, defend life. If you want life, embrace truth—truth revealed by God." —Pope John Paul II, during a prayer service in St. Louis, Missouri, January 26, 1999.
