America's origins were seeded in the great Protestant Reformation. The spark that would eventually produce the universal cry for freedom was John Wycliffe, who had access to the Word of God. His goal was that the Scriptures might become the common property of all men, which ultimately produced our blessed nation, "A government of the people, by the people and for the people." His gift to the world was an English Bible.
Christopher Columbus, at least in the beginning, was not inspired or motivated by greed or gold.
It was the Lord who put it into my mind—I could feel his hand upon me—the fact that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies...
All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter, ridiculing me... There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit, because he comforted me with raise of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures... For the execution of the journey to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics, or maps. It was simply the fulfillment of what Isaiah had prophesied...
No one should fear to undertake a task in the name of our Savior, if it is just and if the intention is purely for his service... The fact that the gospel must first be preached to so many lands in such a short time—this is what convinces me. America's Providential History, p. 45
Our nation, in the beginning recognized and declared that God's written word was inseparable from our national heritage.
Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings (scripture) of The Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and is to this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian... This is a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single voice making this affirmation... we find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth... These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that is a Christian nation. Supreme Court Decision, 1892 Church of the Holy Trinity vs United States
It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
All the good from the Saviour of the world is communicated through this Book; but for the Book we would not know right from wrong. All the things desirable to man are contained in it. Abraham Lincoln
The first and almost the only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible.
John Quincy Adams
...the Bible...is the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life, the nature of God and the spiritual nature and need of men. It is the only guide of life which really leads the spirit in the way of peace and salvation.
Woodrow Wilson
The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.
Calvin Coolidge
The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.
Noah Webster
How can our great nation ever be brought back to its historical Christian roots when the church has failed to preserve the integrity of our greatest national heritage, the Bible.
This free e-book, The Trojan Horse, is our collective effort to reclaim and reestablish the foundation of all that we as Americans hold dear to our hearts: our liberty, our freedom, our prosperity, and our national security.
