Dear Friend,
News recently broke that the new Democrat majority in the U.S. House of Representatives attempted to remove “so help you God” from the oath witnesses take at the beginning of Congressional testimony.
The House Committee on Natural Resources was working on their committee rules for the new 116th Congress, and had removed “so help you God” from the oath, so that it reads:
“Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?”
No reference to God or a higher power.
After public outrage, the Committee chairman reversed course and allowed “so help you God” to stay.
Despite being fixed, this should never have been contemplated.
You may recall that during the 2012 Democrat Platform Committee, the DNC added “God” back into the platform during the convention only to be booed.
It may not be popular to the Democrat delegates, but at least it was added back in. The new Democrat controlled Congress wasted no time in showing the Left’s distain for God and for America’s Christian heritage.
Therefore, we must not waste any time in responding to their assault and letting them know efforts like this to undermine America’s Christian heritage will not be tolerated by the American people.
Standing (Eph. 6:13),
Tony Perkins
