The   Watchmans   Duty                  



It is impossible to rightly govern a nation
without GOD and the Bible.
George Washington








”It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often
that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians;
not on religions, but on the gospel of  Jesus Christ.”

—Patrick Henry






Righteousness alone can exalt America as a nation.
Patrick Henry






The Practice of morality being necessary for the well being of society.
Thomas Jefferson






The Holy Ghost carries on the whole Christian system in this earth.
Not a baptism, not a marriage, not a sacrament can be administered
but by the Holy Ghost. . . .
There is no authority, civil or religious –
there can be no legitimate government but what is administered by this Holy Ghost.
There can be no salvation without it.
 All without it is rebellion and perdition, or in more orthodox words damnation.

John Adams

 

 


We are not in a world ungoverned by the laws & power of a superior agent.
Our efforts are in HIS hand & directed by it;
& HE will give them their effect in HIS own time.

Thomas Jefferson,  letter to David Barrow, May 1st, 1815





In the name of the Most Holy & Undivided TRINITY.
It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the hearts
of the most serene & potent Prince George the Third,
by the Grace of GOD,
King of Britain, France & Ireland,
Defender of Faith & of the United States of America,
to forget all past misunderstandings & differences.

Peace Treaty between the United States & Great Britain,
Congress of the Confederation, 1783


 



We have appealed to Heaven for the justice of our cause
& in Heaven we have placed our trust.
We shall never be abandoned by Heaven
while we act worthy of it's aid & protection.

Samuel Adams


WE OWE OUR UNCEASING GRATITUDE
TO THE SUPREME RULER OF THE UNIVERSE,
WHO SAFELY CARRIED US THROUGH
OUR ARDUOUS STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM.


Samuel Adams 1795





I have lived, Sir, a long time, & the longer I live,
the more convincing proofs I see of this truth;
that GOD governs the affairs of men,
& if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without HIS notice,
is it not probable that an empire can rise without HIS aid?
Benjamin Franklin,  Constitutional Convention
September 1787





Had the doctrines of JESUS been preached
always as purely as they came from HIS lips,
the whole civilised world would now have been Christian.

Thomas Jefferson,  letter to Benjamin Waterouse, June 26th 1822





No man has a more perfect reliance
on the Alwise & powerful dispensations of the
Supreme Being than I have nor thinks of HIS aid more necessary.

George Washington, letter to William Gordon, May 13th 1776






No people can be bound to acknowledge & adore the invisible hand,
which conducts the affairs of men more than
the People of the United States.
Every step,  by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation,
seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.

George Washington, First Inaugural Address, April 30th 1789





We have now, it Seems a National Bible Society,
to propagate King James's Bible, through all Nations.

John Adams







There is in all Men,  something like a natural Principal
which enclines them to Devotion or the Worship of some unforseen Power.

Benjamin Franklin 11/20/1728






Samuel Adams as he called on the State of Massachusetts to pray:

    the peaceful and glorious reign of our Divine Redeemer may be known
and enjoyed throughout the whole family of mankind
    we may with one heart and voice humbly implore His gracious and free pardon through Jesus Christ,
supplicating His Divine aid [and] above all to cause the religion of Jesus Christ, in its true spirit,
to spread far and wide till the whole earth shall be filled with His glory
 with true contrition of heart to confess their sins to God
and implore forgiveness through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior
