The purpose of this blog is to exhort 21st century Americans to live in a manner that is deserving of the sacrifices made by earlier Americans. “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” (Luke 12:48 b-c, KJV)

Rather than specifically endorsing any denomination or political party, the purpose of this blog is to remain true to the ideals of religious liberty, as described by George Washington: “For you, doubtless, remember that I have often expressed my sentiment, that every man, conducting himself as a good citizen, and being accountable to God alone for his religious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience.” (To the United Baptist Churches in Virginia, May 10, 1789)

Throughout the history of our country, from the Mayflower Compact through the American Revolution, and from the foundation of our government to the daily prayers that are still uttered in Congress, the Bible, prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ, and thanksgiving to Divine Providence have been an integral part of our lives as Americans. In humble gratitude, therefore, to God and to our forefathers, my goal is to learn about and live out the covenant of federalism that has made our country great and has given our nation an important place in the history of Christianity.
