Summary

Admiring the Founders while avoiding their foundation is the contradiction shaping civic life today. We dig into why love for the Constitution can’t survive if we detach it from the biblical ideas that informed it—human nature’s limits, God-given rights, fixed moral law, and the necessity of separation of powers. Drawing on documented citation studies and the voices of early American clergy, we connect how sermons seeded the language of liberty and why the founders carried Scripture from pulp...

Welcome to the intersection of faith of culture. It's The Wall Builders Show, taken on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical and constitutional perspective. It's Thursday. We love Thursdays. That's our Foundations of Freedom program each week, and you get to ask the questions. So send those into radio at wallbillers.com.

0:21.8

Radio at wallbillers.com. And I get the first question instead of the audience, guys. The question is,

0:26.7

are Americans schizophrenic when it comes to history? Tim, Babylon B says so, huh?

0:33.4

Well, actually it's not the B because if it was the bee saying so, it might be funny.

0:46.5

However, I saw an article, not the bee, that had come out, and it reminded me of something you had said, talking with some teachers, some of the stuff you've been doing, working with

1:10.5

And that's actually what this not the B article was,

1:13.5

more willingness trending. Let's relearn those documents. Let's quote the founding fathers,

1:24.4

favorable view of the founding fathers, but not necessarily of the God

1:28.8

that gave us our rights. And so it was an interesting contradiction that we are now seeing a

1:35.1

shifting culture where there are more people that want to celebrate the founding fathers,

1:39.4

and yet they're rejecting the premise that the founding fathers built the nation on.

1:45.1

And I thought this is something we really ought to spend a little time talking about to make

1:48.0

sure that for anybody that is listening to any of the wall builders programs,

1:52.8

this should be one of the most clearly understood ideas.

1:57.1

The founding fathers, we've talked about it many times,

2:00.1

the number one thing quoted by the founding fathers, the number talked about it many times, the number one thing quoted by the founding fathers.

2:03.1

The number one source inspiring and influencing the founding fathers was the Bible.

2:07.7

This has been historically documented.
