There seems to be a plethora of sources declaring this is a fortuitous moment in history.
History is filled with stories of fortuitous moments being squandered as well as being seized.
While I fully agree this is an historical moment for the United States of America and for the world; I do not believe it is a foregone conclusion.
It is not an historical moment just because we have seen a change in the Oval Office and a change in the governing party in White House, Senate and Congress.
Those changes may help facilitate the fortuitous opportunity but they are not the guarantee this moment will be ceased.
President Donald Trump acknowledged in his 2017 inaugural speech that every human being is created by Almighty God.
“And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the wind-swept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.”

The Senate and the Congress must make legislation that is just and righteous and does not violate the precepts and principles of God’s Word.
It is required of the justices of the Supreme Court to judge by absolute truth.
They must ensure the Constitution of the United States is enforced.
They must also be certain it does not violate the principles and precepts set forth in the Word of God.
Again, it is the responsibility of the Church to teach and to train the children and the men and women of this nation in the truth of the Holy Scripture so they can be men and women who legislate by the truth of God’s Word and who are capable of discerning and applying the principles of God’s Word and the ways of God to the Constitution and the laws of this land.
That will only happen if the Church of the Lord Jesus C
