And only among a virtuous people could limited government flourish. History makes it clear that, in every generation, men and women with a fervent faith in God's Word have valiantly sought to curb evil impulses and desires. I'm so grateful that many of you who are active in our media movement also are supportive of these freedom-protecting activities. We recently have experienced a very unsettled period in our republic. The presidential election with its subsequent uncertainty has been a time when Christian broadcasting and the Internet were greatly used to rebuild stability and faith.
Nothing is as powerful as faith in protecting the most vulnerable in society.
Nothing is as powerful as faith in maintaining the integrity of the family. Nothing is as powerful as faith in building character. Nothing is as powerful as faith in turning people away from drugs, violence, idleness and despair. Nothing is as powerful as faith in helping our citizenry to lead worthy, decent, compassionate lives. Without the strong voices of Penn, Washington and Jefferson, we would not have the liberties we enjoy today.
