| Psalms 11:3 " If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?" "The word “foundations,” here, refers to those things on which society rests, or by which social order is sustained - the great principles of truth and righteousness that uphold society, as the foundations on which an edifice rests uphold the building. The reference is to a destruction of those things in a community, when truth is no longer respected; when justice is no longer practiced; when fraud and violence have taken the place of honesty and honor; when error prevails; when a character for integrity and virtue affords no longer any security. This is supposed to be the case in the circumstances referred to in the psalm, when there was no respect paid to truth and justice, and when the righteous, therefore, could find no security." Barnes Commentary. Please read this excerpt from the Fathers of our great Country and what The United States of America was founded and built upon. We will add more quotes in the future. |
John Adams:
“ The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the
general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those
general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and
attributes of God.” [July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by
solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”
–John Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by
Congress
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human
passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry,
would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our
Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
the government of any other." --October 11, 1798
"I have examined all religions, as well as my narrow sphere, my straightened means,
and my busy life, would allow; and the result is that the Bible is the best Book in the
world. It contains more philosophy than all the libraries I have seen." December 25,
1813 letter to Thomas Jefferson
"Without Religion this World would be Something not fit to be mentioned in polite
Company, I mean Hell." [John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, April 19, 1817] |
