The celebration of the U.S. Constitution Day (September 17) continues! Last night we got to go to a patriotic devotional held at the American Heritage School in American Fork, UT. Sister Bonnie Cordon, a leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and former Congressman Christ Stewart, both spoke. It was all so good! My nephew sang in the choir which sounded so beautiful. I’m so grateful I got to go!
They spoke about God’s hand in America. Mr. Stewart also called upon his wife to speak impromptu. I’m sure she was thrilled about that (not!) but she was a good sport and shared some touching stories. We also got to watch a short video featuring Tad Callister, another leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mr. Callister wrote the book above and is in the video below. I’ve included screenshots from the video below it.
I love all the scriptures and the quote. It’s all true! Jesus was meant to be the God of America, as it says in the Book of Mormon. See Ether 2:12. Jesus is the source of liberty. The closer we follow Jesus, the more liberty we will have. Columbus was inspired to discover America. The Founders were inspired to create the Constitution.
Please watch the video and feel the Holy Spirit testify to you that it is true. Then read Mr. Callister’s book above to know how it all applies to you today. You can watch the whole devotional at the very bottom of this post.
It’s so important that as many U.S. citizens as possible are convicted of the truth that God orchestrated the founding of America to be a light of liberty and limited governmental powers for the whole world. It’s so important that we call our elected leaders out when they step beyond the bounds of the divinely-inspired Constitution. Please watch these videos and pray to know if they are true.
