Third Monday of February

President's Day

The Father of America, George Washington, was born on February 22. But in honor of our first President, the third Monday of February has been designated as the day to remember his stature in America's life. In 1880, a federal holiday honoring George Washington was implemented by and Act of Congress for government offices in the District of Columbia and expanded in 1885 to include all federal offices. Originally, Washington's actual birthday, February 22, was celebrated on the day of his birth, but in January 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act shifted its observance to the third Monday of February, usually not being celebrated on his actual birthday. For this reason, "President's Day" is generally the expression used to designate the day.

The Influence of Christianity upon the Declaration of Independence

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, America struggles to identify the principles that distinguished her rise to world prominence. Since the end of the nineteenth century, Marxism and Darwinism have been the implements of choice employed by those seeking Her overthrow. Both of these worldviews have been evoked by atheists to destroy the religious principles upon which America has been founded. By the middle of the twentieth century, the judicial branch of American government assumed responsibility to minimize—and where possible, eliminRead more...

Signers of the Declaration of Independence

Signing the Declaration of Independence required remarkable personal courage. The Founding Fathers who signed it understood that King George III and the British Parliament would regard this act as treason. After years of attempted dialog with the King and Parliament, the Signers personally calculated what it might cost them to take the bold step. Following the teaching of the American pulpit, they had come to believe that no law was above God's law, and for this reason, the devised the motto of the American Revolution: "No king, but King Jesus!Read more...
