What George Washington Said


The blessing and protection of Heaven are at all times necessary but especially so in times of public distress and danger.

 

George Washington
JUDGE; MEMBER OF THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS; COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE CONTINENTAL ARMY; PRESIDENT OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION; FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES; “FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY”



You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are.122

While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian.123

The blessing and protection of Heaven are at all times necessary but especially so in times of public distress and danger. The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier, defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country.124

I now make it my earnest prayer that God would… most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of the mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion.125


Socialism dictates that man is subservient to the tyranny of the state. Socialism devalues God and the moral code, commerce, finances, the economy, our international security, the family, property rights, education, civil liberties, the justice system, and our whole way of life.

On the other hand, Freedom declares the state protects man's individual rights and initiatives and society as a whole, under God. American culture is seriously threatened by the Communist-Socialism of the current administration. This is a time for intelligent awareness, serious prayer, and political action in America. What can you do?

In God We Trust.”
