Henry: not religionists, but Christians

Sunday, July 4, 2021
Meditation:
    Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
    —1 Peter 2:16-17 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation [the United States] was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
    ... Patrick Henry (1736-1799), attributed, Give Me Liberty: the Uncompromising Statesmanship of Patrick Henry, David J. Vaughan, Cumberland House Publishing, 1996, p. 253 (see the book)
    See also 1 Pet. 2:17; Isa. 28:16; 1 John 2:15
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, lead us to pray as You desire for our nation. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
