Our Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor for the freedoms we now possess and so casually take for granted.

Samuel Adams, the Father of the American Revolution, the patriot and leader who brought about our famous saying, “No taxation without representation” he said:

“The right to freedom being the gift of the Almighty… The rights of the colonists as Christians…may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of The Great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament.”

On September 6, 1774, the second day of he Continental Congress, Samuel Adams proposed that one session be opened with prayer.

Samuel Adams wrote a letter to James Warren, February 12, 1779, stating:

“While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader… If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security.”

Today our generation knows nothing more of Sam Adams than a beer that bears his name. Samuel Adams boldly said:

“Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.”

Today with massive and widespread armament across the nations, nuclear proliferation and building up of war machinery we do well to remember that we are most secure as a nation when we humbly bow before the God of heaven who enabled us to fight off our British masters when we were outnumbered militarily three-to-one and without sufficient armaments.

The battle cry of the American Revolution must return to our land and sweep this nation from coast to coast saying, “No king but King Jesus!”

Perhaps you don’t know but the battle cry of the American Revolution when we were breaking free from England and establishing our own country, that battle cry was “No king but king Jesus!”

The pulpit of churches throughout America (before we ever were America) brought about fiery sermons at to our national sovereignty under God as free people. It was then we rallied together militarily and politically to fight the fight of faith that we might win and gain our freedom from European rule.

Our Christian freedoms are in great jeopardy. Secular humanists and atheists have declared war on Christianity in the USA and have begun removing God from our courts, schools, and public life.

It is time for we the Church to get off the pew and stand up! Stand up, speak up, and put our foot down on the devil once and for all.

Isaiah 33:5-6 The Lord is exalted; for He dwells on high: He has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is His treasure.

Isaiah 33:22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; He will save us!

This is the Scripture the American Founding Fathers laid hold of and adhered to when carving out our three branches of government.

The Lord our judge brought about the judicial branch of government with the Supreme Court.

The Lord our lawgiver was the foundation for the legislative branch of government also known as Congress consisting of the Senate and House of Representatives that enact legislation.

The Lord our king speaks for the executive branch of government in which the President is the Commander in Chief.

Thus a balanced and fair governmental system was set in order with checks and balances so we can have a stable and moral society.

John Quincy Adams (the 6th President of the United States) said: “The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”

From the day of the Declaration of Independence the American people were bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of The Gospel, which they nearly all, acknowledge as the rules of their conduct.

On July 4, 1837, in a speech celebrating the 61st Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Quincy Adams proclaimed:

“In the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior. …The Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth. It laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity.”

John Quincy Adams revealed his convictions and philosophy: "The first and almost the only Book deserving of universal attention is the Bible. The Bible is the book of all others, to be read at all ages in all conditions of human life. …It is an invaluable and inexhaustible mine of knowledge and virtue. …In all ages since the promulgation of Christianity the great mass of those who have risen to eminence …have recognized and reverenced Jesus of Nazareth as the Son of the living God.”

“Posterity—you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.”

In a day when political parties try to divide our nation and make us take sides, let us remember the words of Abraham Lincoln who declared the holy Bible to be the greatest gift God has given to mankind. Lincoln said “But for this Book we could not know right from wrong.” Lincoln not wanting to take sides said to a divided nation during the Civil War:

“The Lord is always on the side of the right. It is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord’s side.”

John Jay (1745-1829), was the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, appointed by President George Washington. He was a Founding Father, a member of the First and Second Continental Congresses and served as the President of the Continental Congress. John Jay negotiated the peace treaty to end the War with England.

On October 12, 1816, John Jay admonished: “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

I therefore exhort every American to visit the Christian Coalition website and gather information about the candidates in your region so you may vote for God fearing Christians who shall uphold the values of the Founding Fathers in our nation.

On May 13, 1824, while serving as its president, John Jay gave an address to the American Bible Society saying:

“The Bible will also inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer, in whom all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; that this Redeemer has made atonement ‘for the sins of the world,’ and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation; and that these inestimable benefits are of the free gift and grace of God, not of our deserving, nor in our power to deserve.”

Two-thirds of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were graduates from Bible seminaries. Jesus Christ birthed America and therefore belongs in America and forever shall be throughout the fabric of American institutions and society. Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone of American government from which we must not stray.

God must be brought back to our government, leadership, the Supreme Court, and public schools. His truth is marching on! Let God arise and let His enemies be uprooted and scattered.
