Yesterday's Foundation for Today's Liberty
From the beginning, Judeo-Christian principles have been the
foundation for American public dialogue and government policy. They
serve as the solid basis for political activism in support of a better
socioeconomic environment. Found in American homes, truth from
the Hebrew Christian Bible has enabled individual liberty to prevail
over secular empires because it is a practical message about reality from
man’s Creator.
In their quest for liberty, Americans focused upon the conspicuously
self-evident “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” It is the governing
character of these principles (laws), such as humility, the Golden Rule,
and the Ten Commandments, that leads to success. This is the sure
foundation upon which man’s right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness” rests. Called “virtue” by America’s Founding Fathers, the
impartial and divine element frees man to do what is right. “Where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17).
