"The great, vital, and conservative element in our system is the belief of our people in the pure doctrines and the divine truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ." (25)


"Had the people, during the Revolution, had a suspicion of any attempt to war against Christianity, that Revolution would have been strangled in its cradle... In this age, there can be no substitute for Christianity... That was the religion of the founders of the republic and they expected it to remain the religion of their descendants." (26)

An important purpose of this series of blogs is to highlight the strong Christian faith and beliefs of America's Founding Fathers and the Christian influence on the governing of our republic, the United States of America. Part of the purpose is to respond to the testimony of some who proclaim that America was not established as a Christian Nation guided by God and His principles.

However, the main thrust is to bring attention, honor, and glory to our Creator.

Today, God, the Creator of ALL life and His account of Creation in Genesis is often looked upon with complacency instead of ardent passion. Or, every detail is scrutinized by a number of professing Christians. Also, God our Father and the Creator of ALL life, is continuously being mocked and maligned by atheists and other unbelievers who work so hard to cast doubt that God's Word is the authoritative truth including the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
