[Faith-talk] Fw: Presidents and the Bible

Sat Nov 5 16:34:51 UTC 2016

Hello to all my cyber readers out there.  As stated in a previous post, 
this is something that my fellow countrymen and women should read.  
Perhaps you in other nations may not consider this as very impactful, 
but we in the U.S. surely do.  May I add another presidential quote 
that I personally heard.  In his first inaugural address delivered on 
March 4, 1933, President Roosevelt quoted a passage from the Book of 
Proverbs:  "Where there is no vision, the people perish." I have a 
recording of that entire speech.  Folks, enjoy what you will read below 
and be inspired.  Paul

Dear Paul,

Where do you turn for inspiration, comfort, and direction at critical 
crossroads in your life?

Like you, many presidents have turned to the Bible throughout American history.

And with the presidential election nearing, it sure is a timely topic!

   1. American presidents have frequently cited the Bible in inaugural 
addresses, State of the Union speeches, and elsewhere.

   2. Bible verses have been used to call citizens to action, as 
inspiration to a country divided or at war, and sometimes as a comfort 
in times of national tragedy.

Consider these quotes from our past commanders-in-chief:

   * “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the 
Bible.” George Washington

   * “The first and almost the only book deserving of universal 
attention is the Bible. I speak as a man of the world and I say to you, 
‘Search the Scriptures.'” John Quincy Adams

   * “That Book, sir, is the rock on which our Republic rests.” Andrew Jackson

   * “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given man. All 
the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through 
this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong.” Abraham Lincoln

   * “Inside the Bible’s pages lie all the answers to all of the 
problems man has ever known …It is my firm belief that the enduring 
values presented in its pages have a great meaning for each of us and 
for our nation. The Bible can touch our hearts, order our minds, and 
refresh our souls.” Ronald Reagan

As we prepare for national elections, I invite you to learn what 
history has to say about America’s presidents and the Bible — and 
follow their lead!

We’ve prepared a complimentary eight-day resource

for you. It gives you a glimpse at how different presidents, including 
Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John 
F. Kennedy, incorporated the Bible into their speeches.

The daily reading plan and accompanying videos are brief but 
inspirational. You’ll see how the Bible has held a central place in the 
fabric of American history and leadership through the ages.
