The Fiery Darts of the Wicked Cannot Pierce America's Shield of Faith.
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (Ephesians 6:16 KJV)
Horror, fear, outrage and pain mingle together in our hearts following our nation's tragedy. Villainous and inhuman cowards have committed detestable acts of unimaginable violence upon the innocent. The intent of the attack is clear: It is to shake America's faith and make us afraid. We will not be moved. We pray, while doing what is needed.
We cannot allow these cowards to succeed. Abridging civil liberties, trading the protections of our Constitution for the security blanket of a police state, would be an utter defeat for America. Freedom cannot be the next victim of this atrocity.
