No Better Foundation

 

While it's true that America was not founded as or intended to be a Christian nation, there is overwhelming and confirming evidence that she was founded on and created to function according to Biblical truth. This fact was echoed as recently as the 1950's in a prophetic warning from a recent president.

President Harry Truman laid out the case for America’s Biblical foundations in a speech in 1950. He stood against the redacted, anecdotal, revisionist histories sweeping into America’s schools from John Dewey and the progressive, socialist academics of the time. He foresaw what could happen if we forgot our covenant with the Almighty. He said, 

The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don’t think we emphasize that enough these days. If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State.

There is no better foundation for a nation or an individual than the Word of God...

"The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever" (Psalm 119:160).

Revival in America will follow revival in the hearts of Christ followers. A national return to God will follow our return to a holy reverence and obedience to His enduring Word.
