THE FOUNDING OF AMERICA BASED ON BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES:

    Over the past few decades, many, with uncommon zeal, argue that the Unites States of America was not founded upon biblical principles. Some sadly do so even from the pulpit. But such claims are not founded on the historical facts, nor the founding documents of our nation. 

    The Declaration of Independence is the very founding document establishing our Country, It makes numerous appeals to God. Though the US Constitution does not mention God directly, it is intended to be the implementing document that enforces the values declared in the Declaration. Moreover, every single state, as we have seen over the past few weeks, have declared a dependence upon Almighty God for their founding - EVERY state! Those states comprise the entirety of the United States and all were founded on Christian principles.

    Let us insure, as Christian patriots of the first order, that our youth forget not those principles enunciated at our founding by that Declaration of Independence as well as the courageous Founding Fathers who were willing to forsake all on its behalf.
