The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has issued guidance protecting religious expression in the workplace.
“From the very beginning, America has recognized the freedom of religion as the bedrock principle of our Republic,“ Secretary Brooke Rollins said. “It is no accident that the First Amendment protects the free exercise of faith alongside the freedoms of speech and assembly.“
“At this pivotal moment in our nation’s history, we must preserve religious liberty, not only as a constitutional guarantee, but also as a safeguard for every other freedom we hold dear,” said Secretary Rollins. “By protecting the right of every American to live out their faith and express religiously inspired ideas in public and in the workplace without fear, we are defending the very foundation of American liberty for this generation and the next.“
She added, “I thank President Trump for his bold leadership in restoring America’s constitutional heritage of religious liberty across the public sphere and the federal government.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Rollins and USDA officials as they seek to uphold religious protections for federal workers.
- For President Trump to be led by God as he commemorates the nation’s heritage of faith.
- With gratitude to the Lord for the Bill of Rights, which includes the freedom of religion.

A righteous man knows the rights of the poor. – Proverbs 29:7
The National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is often described as the largest solid granite monument in the world. It was built “in honor of those 102 brave souls who boarded the Mayflower with hopes for a better life in the New World.” The largest and most prominent figure on the monument is the Faith statue. The four figures surrounding Faith bear the names Liberty, Law, Education, and Morality.
The monument bears a dedication on its northeast side that reads: “Erected by a grateful people in remembrance of their labors, sacrifices, and sufferings for the cause of civil and religious liberty.”
The Mayflower Compact, their initial governing document, clearly stated that what they had undertaken was for “the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.” The agreement called for the Pilgrims to come together under a “civil body politic” that would be governed by “just and equal laws, ordinances, actives, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most… convenient for the general good of the colony; under which we promise all due submission and obedience.”
Many historians have referred to the Mayflower Compact as the foundation of the U.S. Constitution, which was written more than 150 years later. Without the Bill of Rights, basic civil rights such as freedom of religion and speech, the freedom to assemble and to petition, to freely publish information, and to keep and bear arms could be violated or revoked.
Thank God for the blessed liberty that remains in the United States. Ask the Lord to draw the hearts of citizens and governing officials to defend and uphold the Constitution, with “all due submission and obedience,“ so that this nation may endure.
