Today, we not only commemorate
but celebrate,
that which made America great!
Take a moment to reflect on Paul's statement that "If the Ressurection never happened, then our faith is in vain."
1Corinthians
12.Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13.But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen :
14.And if Christ be not risen , then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15.Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up , if so be that the dead rise not.
16.For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised :
17.And if Christ be not raised , your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18.Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished .
19.If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20.But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept .
21.For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
“It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.” [May 1765 Speech to the House of Burgesses] Patrick Henry
Let us remember this as we go forth to do the work of God in preserving this, our heritage.
Daddy's got your back Son.
