The suggestion that people who do something wrong only deserve our empathy or compassion when they “can’t help it” misunderstands the human condition.

Oxford historian Paul Johnson (1928–), likewise, points to the impulse for America to seek forgiveness, revival, and to be restored to the faith of our Fathers. We must appeal to God through Christ to remember our forefathers’ prayers to be that “City on a hill,” shining the Gospel light of freedom to the world.
