With 2016 being an election year, and having a new President, and voting on many other local offices, I thought it would be good to remind our readers of the fact that the early leaders of our country knew God. For example …
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) is quoted as saying:
- “He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.”
- “God governs in the affairs of men; and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, neither can a kingdom rise without his aid.” (Please read: Daniel 4:32, 5:21; Matt. 10:29, JJ)
- “If your riches are yours, why don’t you take them with you to the other world?” (Please read: Matt. 6:19-21, JJ)
George Washington (1732-1799) is noted with the following:
- “Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.” (Please read: I Cor. 15:33, JJ)
- “It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible.”
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) reminds us:
- “Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.”
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) remembered God and the Bible:
- “All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.”
- “I am not concerned whether God is on my side or not, but I am concerned whether I am on God’s side.”
Just as our country’s early leaders knew God, so also, the current and future leaders need to know Him! God bless and have a Happy New Year!!
