"In regard to this Great book [Bible], I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book." Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth president
"The man must be bad indeed who can look upon the events of the American Revolution without feeling the warmest gratitude towards the great Author of the Universe [God] whose divine interposition was so frequently manifested in our behalf." George Washington, first President. September 28, 1789
There are literally hundreds of quotes from both of these heroic men who formed our nation based on the central truth that our liberty comes from God.
In fact, every president from our very beginning, as an independent nation, recognized that without the God of the Bible, America was doomed.
What is happening now in our country is an aberration. Powerful forces in and out of government are attacking religious liberty and demonizing men and women of faith who love God and our country.
Our founders and historic heroes are likely watching us—a "great cloud of witnesses," to see if we have the courage to preserve what they, with God's blessing, fought so hard to create.
