One Nation Under God

THOUGHT PROVOKING - INSPIRATION

One Nation Under God

While our founding fathers were a mixture of Deists, Quakers, Christians, and other faiths, all believed in God as the true author and founder of our nation and its freedoms. Many of the original planners and leaders of the United States were also Masons, a rather arcane group something like a lodge with a Christian tradition. The Knights Templar were in the background tradition of the Masons, and these pure Christian knights were faithful to Jesus for historic years. However, power and wealth tempted them away from their pure devotion to Jesus, and science and secularism weakened their original faith.

Nonetheless, our early founders wrote documents and designed Washington D.C. with Bible faith and profound belief in God. The plan of the city of Washington D.C. reflects this deep faith as the major buildings are laid out in the shape of a cross. Many of the buildings, monuments, and legislative chambers are full of Bible quotes and expressions of faith in God. There is no doubt that our early leaders founded “one nation under God” with liberty and justice for all.

As a people and as a nation, our greatness and growth came and comes from the blessing of God. No matter how strong other ideas, ideologies, philosophies, sciences, or unbelief becomes, we as citizens of the United States of America can always know that our nation was founded and developed by men of faith for men and women with faith in God. As Christians, we are blessed by these faith-full roots of the nation we love.

And as Christians, we must stand for Bible principles and the Word of God.
