AMERICANS FOR FREEDOM OF RELIGION
FOR FREEDOM.
America's strength comes from the Judeo-Christian Ethos, the guiding force for our Declaration of Independence which asserts we have inalienable rights from our Creator.
Our earliest laws, institutions and actions all presupposed an adherence to the Ten Commandments and the existence of a higher being and the certainty of an individual final judgement.
Freedom of conscience comes from God, not government: “… all men are created equal, they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Declaration of Independence
Government’s role is to protect these unalienable rights: “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” Declaration of Independence
The Bill of Rights provides even greater Constitutional protection to individual rights. The first amendment asserts: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ”
A PATRIOT'S PRAYER
I am one American.
I strive to be an American patriot.
Sometimes, Lord, I feel alone and discouraged.
Sometimes the work of defending my country is too hard
and I am not adequate to the task.
I pray that you, Lord, who inspired America’s Founding Fathers,
who strengthen our soldier sons and daughters,
who bless this country to the good of its citizens and the world,
would open my eyes to the light of your truth.
That You ask nothing of me without giving me the way.
That You put nothing before me without giving me the strength.
That I need only open my heart to Your love and Your will.
America trusts in God and on You I can rely.
I am strong enough.
You have made me so.
I am wise enough.
You have made me so.
If You are with me, who can prevail against me?
I will stand as the American Patriot You guide me to be.
Amen.
