Thoughts From the Church Service

Had a great service at church tonight. Pastor Trieber preached what the Bible says about government, and how our Government and country was founded on Christianity.

I always think it is great to take the historical documents of this country and look at how much the men who founded this country believed that God had to be the center of our government. It is also nice to read different quotes or letters that these men said/wrote and also see that they were Christian men who not only believed in the One true God, but also tried to live by his statutes and principals put forth in the Bible.

"Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. St. Monday and St. Tuesday, will soon cease to be holidays. Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them."

--Benjamin Franklin, letter to Collinson, 1753
