"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance."  Psalm 33:12
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow...and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:10-11

 As we celebrate the Fourth of July , the Day of Independence for America, let us remember the spiritual foundations that made our nation great and strong.

fact that all 50 states acknowledge God in their state constitutions:
