Merry Christmas from Restoration News
We wish you a joyous holiday as we celebrate the risen Christ, king of the universe.
"This is a Christian nation, first in name, and secondly because of the many and mighty elements of a pure Christianity which have given it character and shaped its destiny from the beginning. It is pre-eminently the land of the Bible, of the Christian Church, and of the Christian Sabbath. It is the land of great and extensive and oft-repeated revivals of a spiritual religion—the land of a free conscience and free speech—the land of noble charities and of manifold and earnest efforts for the elevation and welfare of the human race. The chief security and glory of the United States of America has been, is now, and will be forever, the prevalence and domination of the Christian Faith."
~ Benjamin F. Morris, The Christian Life & Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States (1864)
On behalf of the Restoration News team, we're honored to wish you a merry Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of the universe and the master of all nations.
"And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!'" (Luke 2: 8-14)
As we enter the Year of our Lord 2025, we give thanks to the son of God for redeeming our hearts and safeguarding our country. There is no restoring America without a restoration of godliness in the land, which only comes from the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit on the hearts of sinful men. This is the Gospel: that a holy God chose to make His enemies His friends through the precious blood of His only-begotten son. Delivered from death, we strive to make disciples of this and every nation through the Word of truth, steadfast love for our neighbors, and a fearless conviction that Christ is Lord of all.
As Abraham Kuyper said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!”
From the whole Restoration News team, Merry Christmas!
