There is a clear covenant implied in our declaration of Independence-a covenant between God, the People, and the Government. When we, the People turn our hearts to God more than to our government or to ourselves, His Providence increases our personal wisdom and decreases our government dependence. We are individually and collectively freed.

God Protects the Covenant



Mr. Griffith’s painting is the lead into the great miracles of the covenant including the five times during the American Revolution General Washington called upon this people, congress and soldiers to offer fasting and prayers of gratitude in recognition that God had turned the tide of battle in favor of the American cause. The statue is representative of the legacy, the garden in indicative that the legacy is alive and growing but neglected and parched, the storm is representative of the intense national storms we currently face.  These storms are the very thing that can revive our legacy garden if we turn to God.  Ronald Reagan put it this way, “If we remove one nation under God, we will become one nation gone under.” The shallow rooted (faddish) plants of the foreground may not make it, but the deep rooted part of the garden in the rear still has strength and when re-nourished from Heaven will thrive.
