Happy Constitution Day! 📃
The United States Constitution was approved over 230 years ago on September 17, 1787, and established key principles such as separation of powers, citizenship, and representation.
Here are four ways to honor the Constitution:
𝟏) 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫. During the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin insisted on “prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessing on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning...”
Continue praying for God’s guidance on our leaders as they preserve our constitutional rights.
𝟐) 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐭. Work to understand the Constitution, the rights it grants, and how new laws may promote or discourage the exercise of those rights.
You can start with the free God & Government course at FRC.org/GodandGovernment.
𝟑) 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. Register to vote ahead of this year’s midterms, vote based on your values, and connect with your public officials.
Join forces with fellow believers in your area by starting or joining a Pray Vote Stand Chapter at FRC.org/Chapters.
𝟒) 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. We have an obligation to hand down our spiritual and civil liberties to the next generation of patriots. Teach your children about the God-given rights preserved in the Constitution.
Sign up for this year’s Pray Vote Stand Summit at PrayVoteStand.org.
👉 The Founders gave us a republic if we can keep it. So pray for it, prepare to defend it, participate in the political process, and pass it on to the next generation so that they will take up the torch of freedom into the future.
