Trump to Join Bible Reading Event from the Oval Office
Faith Facts
- President Donald Trump is scheduled to join the America Reads the Bible event from the Oval Office.
- The weeklong scripture reading marks the 250th anniversary of American independence.
- Organizers say the event is meant to highlight the spiritual foundations of the nation and encourage national renewal.
Trump is expected to read from 2 Chronicles 7:11-22, a passage about repentance and God’s promise to heal the land.
He will join nearly 500 leaders and 122 ministries gathered in Washington, D.C., for the continuous reading of the Holy Bible.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson and several members of the Trump administration are also taking part in the scriptural relay.
The event aims to remind citizens of the moral and religious heritage that has shaped the American republic for centuries.
As we celebrate our independence, we must return to the eternal truths that first gave our founders the courage to build a free nation under God.
