America's Christian Roots – “in Quotes”


I though with the coming of Independence Day that we reflect on our countries Christian roots by pondering the quotes of its founding fathers.

Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as pure as they came from His lips, the whole civilized world would now have been Christian.” – Thomas Jefferson

Labor to keep alive in your breast that spark of celestial fire called conscience.” – George Washington

And forasmuch as ingratitude is one of the most odious of vices, let me not be unmindful gratefully to acknowledge the favours I receive from Heaven..For all Thy innumerable benefits; for life and reason, and the use of speech, for health and joy and every pleasant hour, my Good God, I thank Thee.” –Benjamin Franklin

The Bible is the best book in the world. It contains more than all the libraries I have seen.” – John Adams

We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.” – Samuel Adams 


WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
