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!
