This weekend, thousands will gather on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., for Rededicate America 250, a historic moment to honor the United States as it approaches its 250th anniversary. As I think about the implications of this impending gathering, my heart is full.Because this is more than just a celebration of a milestone. It is a reminder of something deeper: the miracle of America, and the enduring values that bind America closely to its greatest ally: Israel.As someone blessed to be a citizen of both nations, I feel this connection in a very personal way. I grew up in the United States, where freedom is not just a word, but an inalienable right for all people. And today I raise my children in Israel, where freedom is a miracle we fought to reclaim after two thousand years of exile. These two countries shaped me — they shaped my faith and my understanding of what it means to live with purpose, courage, and hope.
IN WAR ON BIBLE, PASTOR CONVICTED FOR PREACHING GOSPEL
When I look at America and Israel, I see two nations born from the same belief: that every person is created in the image of God, that liberty is worth defending, and that faith can guide a people through the darkest of valleys.
