Reflecting on our Banquet less than two weeks ago – a time of celebration and one of spreading the word of what is being done, what we hope to do and hope to involve others in doing, and how it’s all by God’s Amazing Grace – a friend reminded me of a wonderful speech given by Eric Metaxis at the National Prayer Breakfast a couple years ago. Eric has a powerful testimony of how he came to a living faith, one that sees the world as it is with eyes wide open, and was led to write biographies of two men of God whose lives had a profound impact on our culture, William Wilberforce and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The way he speaks the truth to power with humor and genuine love, upholding the humanity of the unborn with President Obama and other pro-choice leaders flanking him, is a living example of Amazing Grace that we can all draw inspiration from as we seek to release those who are being held captive around us.
