Lightning struck the Statue of Liberty Wednesday night, but she withstood the storm and still stands tall this morning.
I remember vividly my first visit to America’s shining symbol of freedom. I thought of the millions of men, women, and children for whom she was their first impression of our nation. They came to America because of a promise based on the Judeo-Christian worldview that values every life as created in God’s image.
The Declaration of Independence claimed it to be “self-evident” that “all men are created equal,” but Thomas Jefferson could write these words only because he lived in a culture infused with the biblical commitment to the sanctity and equality of life.

Sadly, such values are no longer “self-evident” today. It’s as though the liberty proclaimed by our founders has become the liberty to reject and “cancel” the values upon which it is based.
