Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1781:
“Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their
only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties
are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?
Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His
justice cannot sleep forever.”
President
Dwight Eisenhower declared in his farewell address, 1961: “This evening I come
to you with a … farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my
country. … We face a hostile ideology – global in scope, atheistic in
character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method. … As we peer into
society’s future, we … must avoid the impulse to live only for today,
plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow.
We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the
loss also of their political and spiritual heritage.”
President
Ronald Reagan stated, 1983: “We’re a nation under God, a living and loving God.
But Thomas Jefferson warned us, ‘I tremble for my country when I reflect that
God is just.’ We cannot expect Him to protect us in crisis if we turn away from
Him in our everyday living. But you know, He told us what to do in II
Chronicles. … He said, ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will
I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.'”
As for this
writer, Samuel Alano, I mean to stand upon the Constitution and God's Holy
Word. I need no other platform. I shall know but one homeland and one God. Though far from perfect, the
ends I aim at shall be my America, my God, and Truth. I was born in a Christian America; I will live as a Christian American; I shall die as a Christian American, free
from the shackles of secular-humanism and geopolitical tyranny.
