Excerpt:
On this Father’s Day, 2009, I would like to take us back in time to the Founding Fathers of our nation, as opposed to us who are fathers here and now. We’re going to look at our first European settlers and to the founding principles and documents upon which our nation has been built. And it’s going to take two weeks to do this.
Hopefully we will see how the history of our nation and its religion has impacted our country and even impacts us today and how that will project into the future. We’re going to start back in the 1600s and work our way through the early 1800s.
The reason for this 2-part series has been prompted by the growing controversy of whether or not our nation is a Christian nation. There are rather adamant arguments on both sides of this issue. Of course, very strong Christians trace the history of religion and the beliefs of the Founding Fathers and conclusively conclude that our nation was founded as a Christian nation, always was a Christian nation, and always should be a Christian nation. |
