The full-page ad featured three columns that quote former US presidents and other historical figures, as well as Supreme Court rulings about Christianity. It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor, the ad reads in part, quoting George Washington.
In a holiday message posted on its website, Hobby Lobby said they d been placing holiday advertisements since founder David Greene felt commissioned by God to make them after he saw advertisements during the 1995 Christmas season. Before long, Hobby Lobby was placing beautiful full-page ads celebrating the real meaning of Christmas, Easter, and Independence Day in newspapers across the country. The impact and relevancy of these messages is ongoing, the message said.
