The above words were spoken by someone at the conclusion of a speech delivered by Chief Justice Roy Moore at a recent event in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Over 520 people crowded into the grand ballroom of James Madison University to hear the Chief speak. For forty-five minutes, not a single person moved as the Chief spoke. We were captivated, and even dumb-struck by the passion, articulation, and humility of the Chief Justice.

At one point, the Chief played a video of his cross examination by Alabama Attorney General Bill Pryor. There was a low murmuring in the room as people heard with their own ears and saw with their own eyes, the Attorney General of Alabama ask Roy Moore three times if he would continue to acknowledge God. The Chief’s speech was not wordy, but it was deep. People left that night not just fired up — but educated. One participant told me it was like going back to Bible School, as he listened to the Chief rattle off Scripture from memory — coupled with quotes from America’s Founding Fathers and historical documents of America’s birth.

Doug, I really believe that people left that night understanding the real issue at stake. It’s not about a monument. It’s about acknowledging God as the source of our laws and liberties. If we reject this basic premise as a people, we lose the significance of constitutional law, checks and balances, federalism, and civil rights. We are left with nothing but what the latest poll indicates.

May God continue to use Chief Justice Moore to make us all more “dangerous” men!
