FOUNDING
FATHERS PROFILE
As
we celebrate this great national holiday (4th July
or Independence Day) there is a need for real leaders in
America. The spineless men and women who are force-feeding
America “moral relativism” have no insight as to what made our
Founding Fathers such great leaders.
One
of the greatest ingredients of their leadership was the fact
they led from, and founded this nation upon, standards found in
the Word of God!
-
George Washington
declared, “It is the duty of 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…”
- Daniel Webster said,” The
moral principles and precepts contained in the scriptures
ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and
laws.”
- James Madison wrote, “We
have staked the future of all our institutions upon the
capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity
of each of us to govern ourselves, to sustain ourselves
according to the Ten Commandments.”
-
Thomas Jefferson
penned, “And for support of this Declaration, with a firm
reliance on Divine Providence we mutually pledge to each
other our Lives, our Fortunes, & our sacred Honor.”
-
Patrick Henry
postulated, “Besides sir, we shall not fight our battles
alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies
of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our
battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong
alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.”
-
John Adams
in a Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, “Let the
pulpit resound with the doctrines and sentiments of
religious liberty. Let us hear the dignity of his nature,
and the noble rank he holds among the works of God-that
consenting to slavery is a sacrilegious breach of trust, as
offensive in the sight of God as it is derogatory form our
own honor or interest or happiness.”
SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 59:14 … or truth is
fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
“While we celebrate America’s
birthday...let us also determine to stand up, and speak up, from
the standards of God’s word.” JAS
