Our Founding Fathers declared their dependance upon God……….
“Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation
to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not,
I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it.” –John Adams
“It cannot by emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded
not by religionists, but by Christians–not on religions,
but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” –Patrick Henry
“I have carefully examined the evidences of the Christian religion,
and if I was sitting as a juror upon its authenticity I would unhesitatingly
give my verdict in its favor. I can prove its truth as clearly as any proposition
ever submitted to the mind of man.” – Alexander Hamilton
“Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed
the conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?” – Thomas Jefferson
“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this:
it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government
with the principles of Christianity.” – John Quincy Adams
“A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more
than a college education.” – Theodore Roosevelt
“Of the many influences that have shaped the United States into a distinctive nation
and people, none may be said to be more fundamental and enduring
than the Bible.” – Ronald Reagan
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Proverbs 14:34
