George Washington, "It is impossible to rightly govern without God and the Bible."
Patrick Henry, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
Andrew Jackson, "The Bible is the Rock upon which our republic rests."
John Adams, "The Bible is the best Book in the world. The earlier my children begin to read it, the more confident will be my hopes that they will prove useful citizens."
Benjamin Harrison, "It is out of the Word of God that a system has come to make life sweet. If you blot out from your statute books, your Constitution, and your family life, all that is taken from the sacred Book, what would be left to bind this great society together?"
Horace Greeley, "It is impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible-reading people. Its principles are the groundwork of human freedom."
Ulysses S. Grant, "To the influence of the Bible we are indebted for the progress made in true civilization. It is the anchor of our liberties."
Woodrow Wilson, "America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture. There are a good many problems before the American people today … but I expect to find the solution to those problems just in the proportion that I am faithful in the study of the Word of God."
Daniel Webster, "If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering. But if we and our prosperity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." "If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy … If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation and without end."
America has been blessed because it was founded on biblical principles. True freedom can never be enjoyed by people who refuse to fear God. Let's pray for our nation and recommit ourselves to living as God's people should. Let's heed these venerable voices of the past which underscore the truth of Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD …”
