Welcome
I started this site in hopes of creating a stronger Christian nation . The founding fathers of
this great country were Christians . They started with nothing but faith in our God almighty. Today our government has drifted so far away from christianity that it really scares me . I have a strong faith in God as far what I know he has promised me and my
christian family . But I really worry about our struggling nation . Please check back , as I
plan to post a prayer for our nation and information about one of our founding fathers
every week .
God Bless All
"Before delving into an investigation of their religious nature, it is important first to establish what constitutes a 'Founding Father.' . . . a 'Founding Father' is one who exerted significant influence in, provided prominent leadership for, or had a substantial impact upon the birth, development, and establishment of America as an independent, self-governing nation." Original Intent David Barton 2000 p 123
"This obviously includes the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence, as well as the fourteen different Presidents who governed America from 1774 to 1789. (Under America's unicameral system prior to the Constitution, the President of the Continental Congress essentially served as the President of America.) Additionally, the handful of significant military leaders who provided leadership for, fought for, and secured our independence must be included. In other words, without the work of the fifty-six men who signed the Declaration, the fourteen Presidents of America who led the Continental Congress, or the three-dozen or so prominent military leaders, America as we know it undoubtedly would not exist today." Original Intent David Barton 2000 p 123
"Included next are the fifty-five men at the Constitutional Convention as well as the major leaders responsible for the ratification of the Constitution (on many occasions, these were the State Governors--without whose efforts there would have been no United States of America). Therefore, Without the work of the delegates at the Constitutional Convention and the leaders of the ratification movement, America would not have the form of government it has now enjoyed for over two centuries." Original Intent David Barton 2000 p 123
Printed by Robert Aitken in Philadelphia in 1782, this was the First Bible in English printed in America. Robert Aitken (1734-1802), a Quaker, left Ireland from English persecution and settled in Pennsylvania. In this country, he supported the Revolution and determined to publish a Bible in English in violation of English laws. In 1781, he petitioned Congress for approval and financial aid. Congress recommended the publication of an edition of 30,000 Bibles, at a cost of ten thousand dollars.
It is easy to sit up and take notice. What is difficult is getting up and taking action.

No one can deny that many of the founding fathers of the United States of America were men of deep religious convictions based in the Bible and their Christian faith in Jesus Christ. Of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence, nearly half (24) held seminary or Bible school degrees.
