Unless our country repents and turns to Jesus Christ, all the right political actions will help little.

Scripture of the Week: The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. . . . For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this (Isaiah 9:2, 6-7).

On this day in 1786 the Virginia General Assembly passed the Ordinance of Religious Freedom, which disestablished the Anglican Church as the state church and guaranteed that no person could be molested for his or her religious beliefs. Thomas Jefferson had worked with the legislature to get such a law passed, often allying himself with Baptists and Presbyterians, who had suffered under the law. The inscription on his tombstone, as he requested, reads: “Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia.” American Minute with Bill Federer

Jan. 14
On this date in 1639, the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, the first constitution in the American Colonies, was adopted by representatives from Wethersfield, Windsor and Hartford.

On this date in 1784, the Continental Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, which officially established the United States as an independent and sovereign nation.
