The Blessings Of America

“America IS an exceptional country, not because of our military strength or our GNP. We are exceptional because America is the first country founded on the idea that human dignity and liberty come from God, not government. Our Founders believed, as do I, that America was forged with help from the hand of Providence”–Gary Bauer. 

“Beloved there is now set before us life and good, death and evil in that we are commanded this day to love the Lord our God, and to love one another, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His ordinance, and His laws, and the articles of our covenant with HIm that we may live and be multiplied, and that the Lord our God may bless us in the land whither we go to possess it. But if our hearts shall turn away so that we will not obey, but shall be seduced and worship other gods, our pleasures, and profits, and serve them; it is propounded unto us this day, we shall surely perish out of the good land whither we pass over this vast sea to possess it”–Puritan leader, John Winthrop, 1630.

“History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has either been a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster”–General Douglas MacArthur.

“The propitious smile of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself hath ordained”– George Washington.

  1. Waylon, I had already planned a July 4th face to face apology for my wrongdoing. Your blog helped me finalize my words and gave me the assurance that God is with me. He is certainly with you. Marge

  2. Dr. Bailey thank you for the reminder of how this country is exceptional and can be again. We all must pray and do our part to help make it happen. Bonnie

  3. “God bless America” is a prayer, not a declaration of truth. And it should be spoken in humility and with the awareness that God can and will only bless that which is in accordance with His will and under His Divine authority. “One nation under God” becomes, in that light, a very important phrase in our pledge.
