There is no doubt that Christianity is under attack in America, with atheists groups trying to remove any vestige of faith from the public square and attacking anyone who is brave enough to stand up and speak openly about their belief in God. One girl has had enough, and when she was told that God doesn’t belong in America, she had a stunning response.

The Bible says “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” (Proverbs 22:6). If America is going to survive for generations to come, we must have a moral revolution in our nation. And that revolution begins at home and in our children and youth.

As we have seen from great leaders of old, God often uses children and young people to bring about a cry that will wake up nations. Samuel, David, Daniel, Esther, Josiah… these people stood up from a young age and answered the call of God to be like John the Baptist, “a voice crying in the wilderness” to prepare the way of the Lord.

Karis Peters is one such girl who is standing for modern day America when she spoke at the 2015 ACE International Convention in Las Cruces, New Mexico. She recited a revised version of Carman’s “We Need God In America Again”. And boy do her words ring true and timely for our nation today.

We need more people to be courageous like this young girl, and be unapologetic about their faith — and unwilling to hide it. This is a country founded on Judeo-Christian values, and we shouldn’t let people blathering on about the non-existent “separation of church and state” take that away.
