November 2020 marks the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower Compact in which the early settlers stated the following purpose for the birthing of our nation 'for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith'. This statement was a promise, but it was also a reminder for themselves that if they get lost along the way, they can find their bearings, and make the needed course correction. As the North Star is an unchanging reference point, a point by which sailors used to safely guide their ships, so the essential truth of God's glory, and the Christian faith. Over time, through sinful compromising and complacency - our nation has lost it's way. We can continue our journey off course, but to what end? Getting our bearings and self examination is a crucial first step on our nations journey to a more successful path forward.
