As we celebrate America’s Independence Day we must never forget our Founding Fathers resolve for our Nation to be under God.
Samuel Adams, one of the signer of the Declaration of Independence and Father of the American Revolution stated, “And as it is our duty to extend our wishes to the happiness of the great family of man, I conceive that we cannot better express ourselves than by humbly supplicating the Supreme Ruler of the world that the rod of tyrants may be broken to pieces, and the oppressed made free again; that wars may cease in all the earth, and that the confusions that are and have been among nations may be overruled by promoting and speedily bringing on that holy and happy period when the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ may be everywhere established, and all people everywhere willingly bow to the sceptre of Him who is Prince of Peace.” –As Governor of Massachusetts, Proclamation of a Day of Fast, March 20, 1797.
May the kingdom of Christ Jesus be established in our beautiful United States of America!
