FROM THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT TO THE CONSTITUTION, THE FOUNDERS VIEWED GOD AS ESSENTIAL…


So many people erroneously try to create a separation of Church and State that would prevent any insertion of God or religious principles in the operation of government of any religious practice, prayer, or mention on public property.  People say, “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s….

Does that mean that everything that the government is involved in is Caesar’s simply because they are involved?  I think not!  The government does not give us our rights.  The Founding Fathers recognized that these were inalienable rights that came to mankind from their creator and not from the government. 

The Founding Fathers did not want to prevent religion from being involved in government but to prevent the government from controlling or dictating religion.  We seem to have taken the bait dangled by the ACLU, the atheists, those on the left, the socialists, and other groups that want to censor and silence all Christian voices and render us a secular nation.

The Mayflower Compact entwined God and the advancement of the Christian faith as part of their purpose, and it was directly and explicitly incorporated into their governmental operations. 

The name Christopher Columbus means “Christ-bearer.”  Then, if you view the places he named, you see God in each of them:  

  • San Salvador means “Holy Savior.”
  • Vera Cruz means “True Cross.”
  • La Navidad means “Nativity” or “Christmas.”
  • Trinidad, which means “The Trinity.” 

There is a direct quote from his log, “It was the Lord who put into my mind to sail to the Indies.  The fact that the Gospel must be preached in so many lands – – that is what convinced me.  Charting the seas is but a necessary requisite for the fulfillment of the great commission of our Lord and Savior.”

William Bradford, a Mayflower passenger and Governor of the Plymouth colony said: “They (the Pilgrims) had a great hope and inward zeal of laying some good foundation or at least to make some way there unto for the propagating and advancing of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in those remote parts of the world, yea though they should be but even a stepping stone unto others for the performing of so great a work.”  Later, he expressed his grief and sorrow at the growing secularism and the loss of constant faithfulness.

George Washington, our Nation’s first President, said in his farewell address on September 17, 1796 – “The Bible… is the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life, the nature of God and spiritual nature and need of men. It is the only guide of life which really leads to the spirit in the way of peace and salvation.  America was born a Christian nation.”   “Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”  “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”

Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and founder of five universities, three of which exist today, authored a paper entitled: “The defense of the use of the Bible as a schoolbook.”  He penned twelve reasons not to take the Bible out of the school, but at the end of the paper, he wrote, “If we were to remove the Bible from public schools, we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.”  (Boy, are we seeing that today, and those who support Separation of Church and State and all the organizations and groups that want to Ban the Bible cannot see it.)

Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, wrote  “Progress has brought us both unbounded opportunities and unbridled difficulties. I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism. The thought of modern industry in the hands of Christian charity is a dream worth dreaming. The thought of industry in the hands of paganism is a nightmare beyond imagining. The choice between the two is upon us.”

“There is only one morality. All else is immorality. There is only true Christian ethics over against which stands the whole of paganism. If we are to fulfill our great destiny as a people, then we must return to the old morality, the sole morality.”

John Adams, Founding Father In 1798, he proclaimed that the 9th day of May that year would be a day of solemn humiliation, fasting, and prayer that the people of the US would offer their devout addresses to the Father of Mercies.   Just let the President TRY to do that today.

Earl Warren – Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, 1954, “I believe that no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the good book and the spirit of the savior, have from the beginning have been our guiding geniuses.”

To fail to recognize that the founders and leaders throughout history have recognized the importance of God’s inclusion and involvement in the affairs of man, including government, cannot be missed or dismissed. Yet, we have done it in modern America and to our detriment.

Today, we are seeing a war waged by this administration on the Judeo-Christian Faith, and it is incessant.  He sides with the groups wanting to eliminate all mention of God, religious icons, or symbols from any public property or function.  America, we were founded on the principles of the Bible; we have thrived honoring those principles, and we will fall dishonoring those principles.

As you consider each upcoming election, think about what you want.  Do you want to see America return to what the Founder’s dreamed or what The Leftists, Globalists, Liberal, and WOKE adherents desire?  I like the Founder’s dream of a Free Republic. Therefore, I will vote no on the Leftists each election!

God bless you, and God bless America!
