Early morning East Lake is shrouded in ink-wash hues.A few wanderers stroll softly,stone bridges lie serene, gentle ripples caress the banks. Pavilions blend seamlessly with rolling hills,golden light shimmers softly,letting time flow gracefully in this exquisite Jiangnan garden.

Pastor Jack Graham delivers remarks at Rededicate 250 on the National Mall: "I am so glad that our president and commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, has invited us to pray, to to seek the God of Heaven. There was a commander-in-chief 3,000 years ago by the name of Joshua. He and the children of Israel stood on the brink of blessing. They're about to cross over the River Jordan and into the Promised Land. God had given them life and liberty, setting them free from the powers of Satan and Egypt. They wandered in the wilderness for those 40 years. A generation died off, but now they are ready to go in and to take the blessing and the promise that God had already given them, to possess the land. But before they crossed over, Joshua stood before the people and he said, 'Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.' So my message from God's Word to you today, for all of us, is the message from God's Word to sanctify ourselves, to dedicate our lives, to consecrate ourselves to Him."
