For the next week, I will be publishing excerpts from my soon-to-be released book, "America's History is His Story!"

These were written as a favor for a friend of mine, who started a Christian radio station in West Virginia. And at the time of their writing, I had no thought of ever publishing them in book form.

There is one of these brief essays for every day of the year. They are intended to be read on the radio on a daily basis, to establish the fact that America is indeed a Christian nation.

I hope you find them both interesting and informative:

‘‘This Christian religion is, above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity, and humanity .” –John Adams

One of the great tragedies of our culture has been the idea that those who firmly embrace their Christianity are somehow less intellectual than those who have chosen a more secular lifestyle. Nothing could be more at odds with the truth.

Not only is the Word of God the bedrock upon which our nation was built, the Scriptures are also the foundation of all human truth.

In Proverbs 1:7, the Bible tells us “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”

In the early days of our nation’s history, the Bible was America’s principle textbook, its primary source of literature, and a trusted primer in human relations.

Princeton, Yale, and Harvard all had their origins in the church. These universities were started by preachers, in the interest of spreading the Gospel. And for all our so-called intelligence of these modern times, the entrance requirements for those schools were much higher then than they are today.

America’s most prominent universities were established by churches, preachers, and the Word of God. Moreover, it can never be stated loudly enough: there is no true education apart from the Lord.

America’s history is His story!
