Hello Everyone,

America: Built On Christian Principles

Greece built a civilization on culture and it failed.
Rome built its civilization on power and it crumbled.

But our forefathers founded our nation on Godly principles and America will live on as long as the Lord is her God.

Did you know that the picture of Moses was on the first coin minted in America?

Do you remember the picture of Washington at Valley Forge? His little army was almost starving and freezing to death. Everything that they held dear was at stake. They were fighting against seemingly insurmountable odds--but out in the snow George Washington was down on his knees, praying.

THAT IS THE SPIRIT THAT BUILT AMERICA!

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord"

America: Richly blessed by God

* Natural resources second to none
* Natural beauty second to none
* Good government not perfect, but still the best—

• no concentration camps,
• no secret police,
• no dictator

* Freedom of speech and the press. I can even speak against the government from this pulpit without fear of punishment.
* Religious freedom--no state church. A few people meeting in a little shack for prayer have the same rights as those meeting in a cathedral.
* Place where everyone has a chance--men like Edison, Henry Ford who were born into poor families and yet became millionaires.

Abraham Lincoln, born in a log cabin rose to the White House.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
