United States Constitution & God

Our Heritage

Mayflower Compact of 1620

New England Confederation of 1643

Declaration of Independence of 1776

United States Constitution

Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, declared regarding our Constitution, "The First Amendment has created a wall of separation between the church and the State. But that wall is one directional. It is to keep the government from running the Church. But it is not to keep Christian principles out of the government."

What made America great is not size of our country, natural resources, work ethic, people or even our revered Constitution. It is God. Four centuries ago, God saw a bunch of people leave the comforts of Europe "for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith" in an uncharted land, and decided to bless their descendents into a mighty nation.

All of the credit for America's strength and might belongs to God. And without God, we will lose all of it, like Samson shaved.
