Compare our history and form of government with a few other nations and their various national constitutions: France has had 15 constitutions since 1789; Haiti, 23 since 1801; and South Korea, a free nation existing largely because of America’s assistance, 6 constitutions since 1948. Why is that? What makes America different? One key factor is that “the blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it” (Proverbs 10:22). David Barton continues to educate and work with American leaders to stem the flood of evil coming from ungodly and unprincipled people.
Without question, our nation was founded upon Biblical principles, but how much of life as we know it was determined by the Bible? President Teddy Roosevelt said, “The teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our civic and social life that it would be impossible for us to figure what life would be if these teachings were removed.” |
