One Nation Under God

"And he asked them, 'Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?' 'Caesar's,' they replied. Then he said to them, 'Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.'"
Matthew 22:20-21

French writer Alexis de Tocqueville, after visiting America in 1831, said, "I sought for the greatness of the United States in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, her fertile fields, and boundless forests--and it was not there. I sought for it in her rich mines, her vast world commerce, her public school system, and in her institutions of higher learning--and it was not there. I looked for it in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution--and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great!"

No country or people will be great apart from God.

Prayer: Thank God for your freedom and ask Him to help you never take it for granted.

"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side. My great concern is to be on God's side."
~Abraham Lincoln
"The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible."
~George Burns

Wow..awesome! I totally agree...we do have freedom to worship here...and I am thankful that we won't be killed by the government for our beliefs! ^_^ awesome points...

I hope that America turns back to God...we really do need to concentrate on What God wants...not what we think is best for our country...

*shakes head*
what irony...
I imagine Alexis is spinning in his grave as we speak
Justice divine has weighed: the doom is clear. All hope renounce, ye lost, who enter here.
