When the Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence, they declared all Americans to be free from England. They proclaimed to the world that America was one nation under God and endowed by her Creator—God—with certain inalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
George Washington, our first president and the ‘father of this nation,” made these important comments: “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” Do not let anyone claim to be a true American patriot if they ever attempt to separate religion from politics.” Abraham Lincoln said that the Bible was “the best gift God has given to man.”
So what are we to do with our liberty? Use it to keep it:
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men—as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.
Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
—1 Peter 2:15-16
