But we also take time on this Pearl Harbor Day to pray that our nation never forgets the crucial importance of comprehensive preparedness.
For a thorough preparedness requires 1) military strength, savvy and resolve. Of that there is a unified understanding.
But 2) it also requires a humility of our nation's people before Almighty God, a humility that requires us to live according to His Word.
Alas, on both counts, there is cause for very deep worry.
