God and the Fourth of July

“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that thes liberties are the gift of God?”–Thomas Jefferson.

“Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards fellow  men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God. . .What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be”–President John Adams.

“I conceive that we cannot better express ourselves than by humbly supplicating the Supreme Ruler of the world that the end of tyrants may be broken to pieces, and the oppressed made free again; that wars may cease in all the earth, and that the confusions that are and have been among nations may be overruled by promoting and speedily bringing on that holy and happy period when the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ may be everywhere established, and all people everywhere willingly bow to the sceptre of Him who is Prince of Peace”–Samuel Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence and father of the American Revolution.

“The gospel of Jesus Christ prescribes the wisest rules for just conduct in every situation of life. Happy they who are enabled to obey them in all situations”–Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence and ratifier of the Constitution.

“It cannot be 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. For this very reason people of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here”–Patrick Henry.

  1. The only way this country will have true Freedom, Liberty and Justice for all is if we pull our head’s out of the sand and bring back God as the one and only God and return to the Bible for leadership instead of elected officials.

  2. Doc, this may be your best blog yet. If only liberals would read this and believe what our forefathers had to say. Hope you and Martha have a blessed July 4th., and that the July hiatus will relieve mind, body, and soul. John
