Psalm 11:3 "If the foundations are
destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
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]?" “Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the
nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a
leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the
Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the
foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone
of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity"?
Benjamin
Rush: “I lament that we waste so much
time and money in punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them…we
neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of
government; that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of
Christianity by means of the Bible; for this Divine Book, above all others,
constitutes the soul of republicanism.” “By withholding the knowledge of [the
Scriptures] from children, we deprive ourselves of the best means of awakening
moral sensibility in their minds.” [Letter written (1790’s) in Defense of the
Bible in all schools in America]
Benjamin Rush: “Christianity is the only true and perfect
religion.”
Noah Webster: “ The duties of men are summarily comprised in the Ten
Commandments, consisting of two tables; one comprehending the duties which we
owe immediately to God-the other, the duties we owe to our fellow men.”
Noah
Webster: Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for
rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God [Exodus 18:21]. . . . If the
citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the
government will soon be corrupted . . . If our government fails to secure
public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the
Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.
Noah
Webster: “The Bible was America’s basic textbook in all fields.” [Noah Webster.
Our Christian Heritage p.5]
Noah Webster: “Education is useless without the Bible”
Liberty
Bell Inscription: “ Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the
inhabitants thereof” [Leviticus 25:10]
George
Washington: “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and
Bible.”
Psalm 33:12 states, "Blessed is
the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his
heritage!"
