 THE ROOTS OF OUR
AMERICAN REPUBLIC

The roots of our American Republic

grew not from the glories that were Greece
or the grandeur that was Rome; they were
planted at Mt. Sinai.
The brilliance of our Constitution
stems not from the gods of Mt. Olympus or
the philosophers of Rome; it flows directly
from the The Holy Bible, the written word
of the Living God.
Thus, as Rev. Louis DeBoer has writ-
ten: "Our national existence as a republic
of free men is contingent on a national faith,
faith in the word of God, and presupposes
the necessity ofperiodic reformation to bring
us back to that word and its requirements."

((if My people) which are called by My name) shall

humble themselves) and pray) and seek My face)
and turn from their wicked ways) then will I hear
from heaven and will forgive their sin) and will heal
their land. ))(II Chron. 7: 14 -- see also II Chron 7: 19)
