You may be familiar with my project, the American Camp Fire Revival.

And no, we're not in my backyard, but in a few minutes, the TBN Studios will be transformed into that same setting.

So what should we expect? Well, we're going to gather around the campfire to remember and reflect on the creation of a nation

built on the biblical principles that produced more freedom,

more justice, and more blessing than any other country on Earth in the history of our planet.

For the last couple hundred years or so, we have been increasingly falling away from the original American covenant.

And most of us in America are so far away from that understanding of the essential need for a relationship with God that we don't even know what

the covenant was or that it even existed. And then there are those who seem to intentionally

try to strip God out of everything, even the Declaration of Independence, even the Constitution.

And we've drifted into this amnesia, which often happens. Generations

pass, we experience success, and we forget where we came from. We forget the sacred roots

that produced the sweet fruit of love and joy and peace and patience and kindness and

goodness and freedom and justice and blessing and prosperity in America. Listen to what Daniel Webster,

the great statesman, said. He said this on the 200th anniversary of the celebration of the founding of Plymouth in Massachusetts.

He said this to remind us that our country was built on the rock of ages, and he gives us the

secret to the happiest of all societies. He said, finally, let us not forget the religious character of our origin.

Our fathers were brought here by their high regard for the Christian religion. They journeyed

by its light and they labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society and to

diffuse its influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary. Let us cherish these

sentiments and extend this influence still more widely in the full conviction that this is the happiest society

which partakes in the highest degree of the mild and peaceful spirit of Christianity.

Do you hear that?
