From the very beginning of America’s national life, the Christian Faith and Her ministers have been constituent elements—and what may be affirmed with regard to America’s national life may also be asserted concerning Her colonial life. The earliest charters granting English settlement in the New World advocated the Christian Faith, and the first constitutions of the thirteen colonies did the same.

When America’s Founding Fathers convened the First Continental Congress in 1774, it was determined they would begin their deliberations following the prayers of Christian chaplains. Thee practice of prayer being offered prior to political deliberation was very much a part of the English tradition, and this practice was observed in America from the earliest eras of colonial and national life. But, in the middle of the nineteenth century, this practice was challenged. In response, and able congressman arose to wield both historical and practical defenses for the use of Christian chaplains in the Congress and United States military. This brief pamphlet details that champion’s defense.

Media Presentation: Slavery and the Founding of America

The attack against the legitimacy of America's origin and government began in the first decades of the twentieth century. One of the means of attack against America and its Founders has been the issue of slavery. Marxists and the Left have argued that America was racist from its inception, and for this reason must be dismantled and replaced with a form of socialism that is allowed to mutate into Marxist communism. In his media presentation, Slavery and the Founding of America, Dr. Stephen Flick rehearses the historical facts which demonstrRead more...

Power Through Prayer

For more than a century, Edward McKendree Bounds (August 15, 1835 – August 24, 1913)—generally referred to as E. M. Bounds—has been one of the most highly read authors on the subject of prayer. His books have been read and treasured by thousands of ministers and laymen alike. Unimpressed by novel principles and practices, Edward urged the American Church in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries to resist the liberalism that was sweeping the nation under the guise of Darwinism and embrace the simple truth of the claims of the GospeRead more...

Slavery and the Founding of America

The cudgel most frequently used against the moral integrity of America’s Founding Fathers by Marxists and adherents of the Left is the issue of slavery. In an attempt to completely denounce any measure of credibility in the Founders, revisionist historians have advanced a false narrative of America’s exceptional record concerning this important issue. With the West and the biblical foundation upon which Western civilization was established, America rose as a leading voice again slavery. Contrary to the claims of the Marxist Black Lives MatteRead more...

Should Christians Always Submit to the Government?

For more than a century, irreligious forces have assailed America's Christian heritage with defiant resolve. Ironically, their success has been achieved upon the back of an indifferent American church. Many Bible-believing pastors have advanced the myth that America was not founded upon Judaeo-Christianity. Tragically, church leaders have failed to rehearse to their congregations the vital roles the clergy and the church occupied in the birth of the American Republic. But pastors in mid-eighteenth century America believed that what ScripturRead more...

The Supreme Court Declares America a Christian Nation: Booklet

On February 29, 1892, The Supreme Court declared (in Holy Trinity v. United States) that the historical record of America overwhelmingly demonstrated that the United States "... is a Christian nation." Contrary to this historical and legal record, judges throughout the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first centuries have repeatedly ruled against the place that Christianity has enjoyed in American life. Rather than render decisions consistent with the legal foundation of America, activist judges have taken it upon themselves Read more...

A Defense of the Bible as a Schoolbook

Until 1947 and following, the Christian religion exercised considerable influence upon the school children of America. In fact, a thorough study of the history of American education will reveal that from the very beginning of English colonization, Bible reading and prayer was an important part of the classroom. The personal writings and official government proceedings of the colonial era through the middle of the twentieth century clearly indicate that America's Founding Fathers never intended for the Christian faith to be pushed from AmericaRead more...
