God, the Bible, and US History Part 1

One of the places that the faith of our young people (college, high school, and younger) is in the history classroom. Many of our founding fathers would be kicked out of public schools and would not be welcome in most universities because of their expressed faith in God. Americans need to know the principles and beliefs upon which our country was founded. Some who would like to remove God from public life are content with allowing us to keep our views while attacking God, the Bible, and true US history in the classroom. Parents and students need to be armed with the facts! Here in Part 1, lets look at some quotes from our founding fathers.

"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." - Thomas Jefferson, 1781 (Engraved on the Jefferson Memorial)

The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty... The Rights of the Colonists as Christians... may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Law Giver... which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament" - Samuel Adams (1772)

"Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." Leviticus 25:10 (Scripture inscribed on the base of the Liberty Bell)

The highest glory of the American Revolution was this; it connected, in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity." - John Quincy Adams

We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." - James Madison
