French writer Alexis de Tocqueville, after visiting America in 1831, said “I sought for the greatness of the United States in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, her fertile fields & boundless forests - and it was not there.
I sought for it in her rich mines, her vast world commerce,
her public school system - in her institutions of higher learning - and it was
not there.
I looked for it in her democratic Congress & her
matchless Constitution - and it was not there.
Not until I went into the churches of America & heard
her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius
& power. America is great because America is good & if America ever
ceases to be good, America will cease to be great!”

“Every single one of
us as Americans need to remember that freedom did not come free, as we get on
our knees tonight; thank God we live in a country where people are trying to
break into, and not a country people are trying to break out of.” - Mike
Huckabee.
Ps 33:12 (NIV): “Blessed is the nation whose God is the
LORD.”
“I believe with all
my heart that standing up for America means standing up for the God who has so
blessed our land. We need God's help to guide our nation through stormy seas.
But we can't expect Him to protect America in a crisis if we just leave Him
over on the shelf in our day-to-day living.” - Ronald Reagan.
