(ESV)\n\n        Today this nation takes time to remember those paid the\n   ultimate price while defending our freedoms.  Thomas Jefferson,\n   the third president of the United States wrote: ``The tree of\n   liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of\n   patriots and tyrants.'' Ever since the first patriots took up\n   arms to secure our liberties, we have honored the memories of\n   those who refreshed the tree of liberty with their blood.\n\n        King Solomon wrote: ``Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin\n   is a reproach to any people.''  We pray, therefore, for righteous\n   leaders and faithful citizens who place the good of their\n   neighbors over personal gain.  When our leaders are moral and\n   just, the entire nation is blessed.  When our leaders seek their\n   own good over others, we all suffer.  Therefore we pray for this\n   nation, remembering those who sacrificed themselves that others\n   may live in freedom.\n\n        Lord of our Land and Life, Over two centuries ago,\n        shortly before the British hanged him, the American\n        hero Nathan Hale said he regretted he had only one life\n        to lose for his country. Today we can see things Hale\n        could not: we see America's flag, her history, and the\n        democratic truths upon which she has been built. We\n        give thanks that our country remains: ``One nation\n        under God.'' Knowing that, we proudly echo his words in\n        saying, ``I have only one life to invest in my\n        country.'' The Bible says doing right exalts a nation\n        and sin disgraces her. For that reason, we pray for\n        America, right or wrong. When America is right, dear\n        Lord, keep her right. Allow the good people, the God-\n        fearing people of America to loyally continue their\n        vigilance and struggle for those things which are\n        pleasing to You. And, if our nation ever wanders or\n        goes wrong, dear Lord, turn her and gently bring her\n        back onto the path You would have her walk. In Jesus'\n        name, we pray. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1908"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1909,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908\/revisions\/1909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
