God & Country


"Whatever makes men good Christan's, makes them good citizens."
-Daniel Webster -Founding Father




The reason that Christianity is the best friend of Government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart."
-Thomas Jefferson -Author of the Declaration Independence.

"The Bible is the Rock on which this Republic rests."
-Andrew Jackson -7th U.S.President

"Men must choose to be governed by God, or condemn themselves to be ruled by tyrants."
-William Penn -Founder of Philadelphia, PA

"Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure ourselves what that life would be if these standards were removed. We would lose almost all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals, all the standards towards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves."
-Theodore Roosevelt -26th U.S President

"It can not 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! We shall not fight alone. God presides over the destines of nations. The battle is not to the strong alone. Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, ALMIGHTY GOD! Give me liberty or give me death!"
-Patrick Henry -Founding Father

Martin Luther


If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I
may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is
proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.

A. W. Tozer



“We may as well face it: the whole level of spirituality among us is low. We have measured ourselves by ourselves until the incentive to seek higher plateaus in the things of the Spirit is all but gone… (We) have imitated the world, sought popular favor, manufactured delights to substitute for the joy of the Lord and produced a cheap and synthetic power to substitute for the power of the Holy Ghost.”



Aiden Wilson Tozer (April 21, 1897 - May 12, 1963) was an American Christian pastor, preacher, author, magazine editor, Bible conference speaker, and spiritual mentor. For his work, he received two honorary doctorate degrees.
A few of the books that Tozer wrote include Let My People Go, Man the Dwelling Place of God, Paths to Power, The Divine Conquest, The Pursuit of God, and Knowledge Of The Holy
