Paul said this…..“Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment,” (1 Cor. 1:10).

From Gary Bauer of American Values:
After my morning meeting, I went to the White House and joined other leaders of faith-based ministries for an event marking the National Day of Prayer.
I can’t tell you what it felt like after the past eight years to be back in the White House with Jewish, evangelical, Catholic and other church leaders. First, Obama cancelled National Day of Prayer events at the White House. Then he blocked Franklin Graham from speaking at the Pentagon.
But to see this event today — to hear President Trump’s remarks and witness the president calling the Little Sisters of the Poor up to the podium — was incredibly moving.
President Trump also addressed his newest executive order promoting religious liberty, which takes the first steps toward repealing the Johnson Amendment. As you may know, the Johnson Amendment was introduced by then-Senator Lyndon Johnson (D-TX) as a means of silencing his political opponents in the 1954 election.
President Trump’s order restricts the IRS from threatening churches that speak out on biblical truths and their impact on our culture. Legislation from Congress will be required to completely repeal the Johnson Amendment and we are helping to educate our friends in Congress so we can get the job done.
Today’s executive order also provides additional regulatory relief from Obamacare’s contraception mandate, hopefully bringing an end to the government’s harassment of faith-based organizations — a shameful chapter in our nation’s history courtesy of the Obama Administration and its radical pro-abortion policies.
Like previous White House visits, I had many opportunities to speak with key administration figures and leaders in the conservative movement.
