America's Christian Foundation

First Prayer in Congress
First Prayer in Congress

The United States of America definitely has Christian foundations. George Washington, father of our country said, the federal government can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy or any other despotic or oppressive form so long as there shall remain any virtue in the body of the people. And so we see clearly, that our founding fathers came here to the United States of America, and they had a deep appreciation, indeed an abiding knowledge, that their freedom came from God Almighty. And as John Adams said, our Constitution is made for a moral and religious people.

God is the one who gives liberty to us. God is the one who grants freedom to nations. Whenever we understand that, and we pass that knowledge on to another generation, then they tend to hold on to that liberty and that freedom, and they don’t give it up. But the converse is also true, whenever a nation or a people fail to acknowledge and give proper recognition of where our freedoms and liberty come from then they fail to pass that on to another generation. It is only a matter of time before that generation will slip down into oppression and bondage. They will lose their freedoms.To read more and watch a video click here: Christian Nation
