The Origins of Tyranny
"A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is the region of ignorance that tyranny begins." ~ Benjamin Franklin

Mr. Franklin is 100% spot on with his remarks. We are currently living in a region of ignorance, due to the removal of two important pillars of our society. These important mainstays were eliminated by our very own Supreme Court.
June 25, 1962 - a simple 22-word prayer was deemed unconstitutional, because of one word…God.
June 17, 1963 – the Bible was banned. Both the prayer and the Bible were removed from our public schools, resulting in a spiritual decline of our great Republic!
God and His Word are the very cornerstone and foundation of America, and without His presence here among us, we will fail. America’s spiritual heritage is one to be cherished and preserved by all citizens.
“The great Russian novelist, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who wrote The Gulag Archipelago, and suffered through the Russian Gulag, commented on the famous truism that ‘he who cannot remember the past is condemned to repeat it. He said, ‘If we don’t know our own history, then we simply will have to endue all of the same mistakes, all of the same sacrifices, all of the same absurdities over again – times ten.”
“But here is our hope: If we trust the liberating God of history and return to Him, it is the tyrants who will be despairing. Charles Spurgeon, the greatest of English preachers, facing a collapsing English empire over a century ago, remained certain that he and his fellow believers had the one weapon which could defeat any would-be tyrant. He said, ‘There is no land beneath the sun where there is an open Bible and a preached gospel, where a tyrant long can hold his place…Let the Bible be opened to be read by all men, and no tyrant can long rule in peace…The religion of Jesus makes men think, and to make men think is always dangerous to a despot’s power.” These quotes were taken from an article entitled, Chaos or Christianity? By the late Dr. Marshall Foster – Founder and President of the World History Institute.
America will only regain her footing… if the citizens of this great Republic return to God! Period.
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
