Strong Foundations
A strong country can only be built upon strong foundations. Leading up to the declaration of America's independence from Great Britain were many meetings and resolutions. In one such resolution, Peyton Randolph stated,

  • "In every case of opposition by a people to their rulers, or of one state to another, duty to Almighty God, the creator of all, requires that a true and impartial judgment be formed of the measures leading to such opposition, and of the causes by which it has been provoked or can in any degree be justified, that, neither affection on one hand, nor resentment on the other, being permitted to give a wrong bias to reason, it may be enabled to take a dispassionate view of all circumstances, and to settle the public conduct on the solid foundations of wisdom and justice.*

Obviously, our foundations were built by men of faith in the Almighty God. They were "creationists" who believed that even the resolutions to become independent of Britain must be carefully and prayerfully considered with wisdom and a sense of justice from our Creator.

Attempts to remove Almighty God or references to Him from our government are just jackhammers of judicial opinion undermining the very foundation of America. The cracks in the walls of government and the crumbling of the entire structure will eventually follow.

(*Excerpt from paper IN CONGRESS IN PHILADELPHIA, October 21, 1774)
