Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15.

And the title of our post today is, No Apologies.

Here are a few quotes to stir your patriotism,

and hopefully to fan the flames of prayer as you begin your week.

John Quincy Adams, son of John Abigail Adams, and the sixth president of the United States

said the highest glory of the American Revolution was this.

It connected in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil

government with the principles of Christianity. Several years later, he said, why is it that next to the

birthday of the Savior of the World,

your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day, July 4th?

Is it not that in the chain of human events,

the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior,

that it forms a leading event in the progress of the gospel dispensation.

Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission on Earth.

Amazing.

His cousin, well, not his cousin, his dad's cousin, John Adams' cousin,

Sam Adams, also called the Father of the Revolution, made this statement

at the signing of the Declaration Independence. We have this day restored the sovereign

to whom all men are to be obedient. He reigns in heaven, and from the rising to the setting of the sun,

let his kingdom come. Quotes like these give hemorrhoids to the progressives and revisionists on the left, who are trying to steal America's heritage and

destiny. Our founders knew the birth of America was orchestrated by God, not just for our benefit,

but his as well.
