A Question


"And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own."

I would ask everyone to take a moment and try to guess who they think said the above,was it one of our forefathers, or perhaps a renown clergyman? Unless you are a student of American history I doubt you will know.The quote above is by John F.Kennedy from his inaugural address. If you have any doubts about how far this country has separated itself from God,then honestly consider what newly elected President would have the courage in this day and age to utter the above words.
