Will I Honor and Praise God in My Generation?
It’s remarkable to consider how Americans from past generations planned and purposed to chisel and etch reminders of God throughout Washington, D.C.
Forged into the aluminum capstone of the Washington Monument is the Latin phrase Laus Deo—“Praise be to God.” Step inside and its 50 stone landings have engraved memorial blocks. At the 12th landing is a prayer offered by the City of Baltimore, at the 20th is a memorial donated by Chinese Christians, and inscribed on two blocks at landing 24—honoring Sunday school children in New York and Philadelphia—are quotations from Luke 18:16, Proverbs 10:7, and Proverbs 22:6.
Across the Mall at the Lincoln Memorial, you’ll read from the slain President’s second inaugural address and note his reference to Psalm 19:9: “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
East of the memorial, on the northern edge of the Mall, an inset bronze medallion of the Ten Commandments greets visitors to the National Archives.
Visit Arlington National Cemetery or Capitol Hill and you’ll discover a host of other lasting reminders of God. And each reminder evokes a question: Will I openly honor and praise God in my generation?
Help us ask the same question of politicians, federal workers, military men and women, and college students in the greater D.C. area by partnering with us. Your gift will help them know Christ and grow in their walk with Him. In time, they, in turn, will do the same for others. To contribute, go to my.navigators.org/dc.
