As I sit and relax on this rainy Memorial Day I can not help to think of how many of our military men abroad and at home sat in the trenches wet, cold, hungry, and tired fighting for our freedoms. Many lost their lives for our freedoms we enjoy today 1.3 million as a matter of fact. We live in the greatest country in the world. Thank you to the families of these men and woman who lost their loved ones, are prayers are with you and continue to go out for you. May God give you the strength and the resolve to keep moving forward on a daily basis, We will never forget those who gave their lives for our freedoms. We honor them today and every day. May God help us as a country as the tyranny in our government rages on - There are those in Washington D.C who stand for what God stands for and the other half stands for evil. And we the people have lost our way - Pastors are silent and the church is sleeping. Yet God has a remnant in the land. God help us find our moral compass - and help us find our way back to you - May your divine hand be upon our land and may you rise up and awaken Gods people - In Jesus Name Amen
This quote is from John Adams (1734-1826), a signatory of the Declaration of Independence, one of the framers of the Constitution, and the second president of the United States of America. This quote, and especially its famous last line, expresses a sentiment widely held among the statesmen of the Founding Generation that no matter how well a constitution is constructed, It will not insure freedom and prosperity unless it is supported by a moral, virtuous population.
The State
While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world; while she continues sincere, and incapable of insidious and impious policy, we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by Providence. But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays [229] in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because 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.
