Independence Day 2020

~ Have We, As A Nation, Become “Independent” of God? ~

“It is impossible to rightly govern... without God and the Bible.” (George Washington, June 8, 1783).

“National morality cannot exist in the absence of religious principle.” (George Washington).

“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion.  Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.  Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” (John Adams, October 11, 1798).

“The strength of a country is the strength of its religious convictions.”  

“Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man – these are not elements which we can see and touch.  They are ideals.  They have their source and their roots in the religious convictions.  They belong to the unseen world.  Unless the faith of the American people in these religious convictions is to endure, the principles of our Declaration will perish.  We cannot continue to enjoy the result if we neglect and abandon the cause.”  (Calvin Coolidge, July 5, 1926)
