WELCOME TO JULY

This week I
will be sharing
a few thoughts
from a little
book entitled
"The Soul of America"

America:
Her Foundation

"I sought for the greatness and genuis of America in her commodious harbors and ample rivers, and it was not there. ...

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power...America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." Alexis de Tocqueville 1805-1859

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" Psalms 33:12

"Give me liberty, or give me death!" Patrick Henry 1736-1799

"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to moral chains upon their own appetites...Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free." Edmund Burke

"...when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers,...to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant--.when you have eaten and are full--then beware, lest you forget the LORD..." Deuteronomy 6: 10-12
