The whole inspiration of our civilization springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the prophets. To read the Bible for these fundamentals is a necessity of American life.
Herbert Hoover
It is exciting to think how many individuals throughout history have made a name for themselves as leaders in our country & have had the courage to give God the glory & acknowledge how much our world needs the guidance of God's Holy Word. I applaud these great leaders for saying what needed to be said & not being afraid to show their strong Christian beliefs. Too many people suffer from doubt when it comes down to standing up for what you believe in, or being willing to walk the walk & live out what God's Word asks us to do. These great leaders were not afraid to share their faith in God with all who would hear as a necessary & important element in our lives.
It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible.
George Washington
I'm thrilled to realize that these quotes are only a small sampling of the many great people in history who began leading by example as to how a Christian should live & how they should lead, for the sake of our country & the people who lived in and around their section of the world. Who lives in and around your world today? Are you in a position to influence others? No matter whether your opportunities in life right now are able to affect many or few, each one of those people are important to God, & we should live what we believe so that His light may shine to all men on this earth. Walk in the light of God's love & share His Words of hope any chance you get. I challenge you as your fellow sister in Christ, to encourage each other in God's love & by being His hands & feet today to someone who needs His presence in their lives. If you look, He will help guide you to who He needs you to reach out to today. May our Lord go before you & bless you my friends. Be encouraged by the example of our great leaders before us. If they can live for Jesus in today's world & not be ashamed to show it, then so can we. Praying for God's people to live their lives to the fullest & enjoy the blessing of the Lord for their faithfulness to Him.
In regard to this great book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to found portrayed in it.
Abraham Lincoln
Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization, and to this we must look as our guide in the future. Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.
Ulysses S. Grant
