Happy Birthday Mr. President

February 22nd is George Washington's Birthday. He was the first President of the United States of America after they adopted the new constitution. As we celebrate the birthday of the man we often call the "Father of our country", let us reflect on some of his beliefs. Some unfairly claim he was a diest who believed in God but not miracles, the scriptures or divine intervention in the affairs of man. How can anyone read these statements he made and believe that?

The following are quotes from George Washington:

"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible." (Click Here)

Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected. (click here)

Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience. (Click Here)

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports... And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle... Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a Nation with its virtue? (Click Here)

We ought to be persuaded that the propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained. (Click here)

I am sure that never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the United States; and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our Revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them.
