“Unto Him who is the author and giver of all good, I render sincere and humble thanks for His manifold and unmerited blessings, and especially for our redemption and salvation by His beloved Son… Blessed be His holy name.”

John Jay (Founding Father/First Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court)

“To the triune God- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost- be ascribed all honor and dominion, forevermore- Amen.”

Gunning Bedford (Founding Father/Constitution)

“Rendering thanks to my Creator for my birth in a country enlightened by the Gospel to Him I resign myself, humbly confiding in His goodness in His mercy through Jesus Christ for the events of eternity.”

John Dickinson (Founding Father/ “Penman of the Revolution”)

“Public utility pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures…[These] can alone secure to society, order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government, purity, stability, and usefulness. In vain, without the Bible, we increase penal laws and draw entrenchments around our institutions. Bibles are strong entrenchments. Where they abound, men cannot pursue wicked courses.”

James McHenry (Founding Father/Constitution)

“You cannot have good civil law if it’s not based on Divine law.”

James Wilson (Founding Father/Constitution)

” I flatter myself you will be what I wish, but don’t be so much flatterer as to relax of your application- don’t forget to be a Christian. I have said much to you on this head, and I hope an indelible impression is made.”

Jacob Broom (Founding Father/Constitution)

“Whoever controls the present controls the past, whoever controls the past controls the future.”

David Barton

“I believe that God did send His own son to become a man, die in the room and stead of sinners, and thus to lay a foundation for the offer of pardon and salvation to all mankind, that at the end of this world there will be a resurrection of the dead, and a final judgment of all mankind, when the righteous shall be publicly acquitted by Christ the Judge and admitted to everlasting life and glory, and the wicked be sentenced to everlasting punishment.”

Roger Sherman (Founding Father/Constitution)

“I think it proper here not only to subscribe to the entire belief of the great and leading doctrines of the Christian religion, such as the being of God; the universal defection and depravity of human nature; the Divinity of the person and the completeness of the redemption purchased by the blessed Savior; of Divine faith accompanied with an habitual virtuous life; but also, to exhort and charge [my children] that the fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom.”

Richard Stockton (Founding Father/Declaration of Independence)

“On the mercy of my Redeemer I rely on salvation and on His merits, not on any works that I’ve done in obedience to His precepts.”

Charles Carroll (Founding Father)
