Psalm 11:3 "If the foundations are
destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
John
Adams, 2nd U.S. President and Signer of the Declaration of Independence “[July
4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of
devotion to God Almighty.”
John Quincy Adams “Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the
world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day [the
Fourth of July]?"
George
Washington, 1st U.S. President "While we are zealously performing the
duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive
to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it
should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of
Christian."
John Adams "The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved
independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I
believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as
eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
John
Quincy Adams "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this - that
it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with
the principles of Christianity."
Thomas
Jefferson "The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty. A student's
perusal of the sacred volume will make him a better citizen, a better father, a
better husband."
Thomas
Jefferson, 3rd U.S. President, Drafter and Signer of the Declaration of
Independence "God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties
of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a
conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of
God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for
my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep
forever; That a revolution of the wheel of fortune, a change of situation, is
among possible events; that it may become probable by Supernatural influence!
The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in that event."
John
Adams and John Hancock: “We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but
Jesus!”
Psalm 33:12 states, "Blessed is
the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his
heritage!"
