“Do not let anyone claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics. Anyone who does this cannot be called American.”
George Washington
New York judge, John Jay, later to become the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court under the new Constitution, addressed a grand jury with these observations: “The Americans are the first people whom Heaven has favored with an opportunity of deliberating upon and choosing the forms of government under which they should live.” Our Constitution and form of government are unique throughout history, reflecting a distinctively Biblical form.
Verna Hall taught that “Every religion has a form of government; Christianity astonished the world by establishing Christian self-government.” America is a unique nation, founded upon the Bible, the Word of God, predominantly by men and women who served and loved Jesus Christ. The astounding result was a nation with the most religious liberty, civil/economic freedom and corresponding prosperity of any nation in history since ancient Israel.
Teach the Children:
1. The Creator of the laws that govern the universe established moral absolutes that allow men to be free, productive, and righteous in their conduct.
2. Those laws are enumerated in the Bible for our use in governing ourselves both individually and corporately.
3. A nation, to be free, is governed by the absolutes of natural and moral law as given by God to be blessed, free, and prosperous.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalm 33:12
