Colin Powell, the national security adviser, told the president: "Don't see this as an expression of religious faith. It's almost idiomatic. He's not ready to get down on his knees for you."

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

I think we'll see Ronald Reagan again, someday.

“I think we’ll see Ronald Reagan again, someday.”

I heard D.James Kennedy relay an incident he was involved in with Reagan, before he became the Republican nominee in 1979.

He (Kennedy) stated, that he was sitting across from Reagan in the living room of a friend, and he asked Reagan, “If you were to die tonight, and God were to ask you, ‘why should I let you into my Heaven?’ how would you respond?”

Kennedy then said Reagan bowed his head to his chest and closed his eyes. He remained in that position so long that Kennedy thought there was something wrong with him (and wondered if he should get help!). Finally, Ronald Reagan looked Dr. Kennedy square in the eye and, as his answer, quoted:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him will not perish but have everlasting life.”

See Ronald Reagan again someday? As Sarah would say, “YOU BETCHA!”
