God Is Going to Make Us a Better Nation : Chaplain Barry Black Offers Hope After Capitol Riot
01-15-2021
US Senate Chaplain Barry Black hunkered down in a secure location during the Capitol Hill violence of January 6, huddling with senators for three hours, praying with them and ministering to them.
Now he tells CBN News Capitol Hill Correspondent Abigail Robertson he s confident God is going to use the horrific attack for his glory. To Christian believers, Calvary probably seemed like the greatest tragedy in human history, and yet oh what good, oh what good came from Calvary, said Black. God is going to make us a better nation as we strive, and there are believers everywhere, even non-believers, who are striving for a more perfect union, and I believe the Sovereign God of the universe is going to use January 6th as the moment in time that will provide us with an epiphany nexus with the transcendent.
CBN News Capitol Hill correspondent Abigail Robertson is back on the Hill for the first time since the start of the pandemic and the atmosphere is much different than it was when she left. Lawmakers, staff, Capitol Hill Police, and others who work there are all still reeling from the attack last week, all while preparing for a historic vote to impeach President Trump for a second time. More and more Republicans are supporting the effort, including Liz Cheney, the third highest-ranking GOP lawmaker in the House. Meanwhile, the threat of violence hangs over lawmakers and Robertson says the fear and tension on the Hill are palpable. She’s on today’s CBN News Daily Rundown with the latest.
