IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - SUN. NOV. 4/18
TAKEN FROM THE CALENDAR, "THE GLORY OF AMERICA"- FORWARD BY BILL BRIGHT, PETER MARSHALL AND DAVID MANUAL
NOVEMBER 1:
AS WE APPROACH OUR NATIONAL ELECTION DAY, WE NEED TO PAY HEED TO THESE WORDS OF CHARLES FINNEY, AMERICA'S GREAT 19TH CENTURY EVANGELIST.
"THE TIME HAS COME THAT CHRISTIANS MUST VOTE FOR HONEST MEN AND TAKE CONSISTENT GROUND IN POLITICS, OR THE LORD WILL CURSE THEM... GOD CANNOT SUSTAIN THIS FREE AND BLESSED COUNTRY, WHICH WE LOVE AND PRAY FOR, UNLESS THE CHURCH WILL TAKE RIGHT GROUND, AND CHRISTIANS MUST DO THEIR DUTY TO THE COUNTRY AS PART OF THEIR DUTY TO GOD." FINNEY, LECTURES, 297.
NOVEMBER 2:
LIKE CHARLES FINNEY, SAMUEL ADAMS FELT THAT THE CHRISTIAN MUST TAKE AND ACTIVE INTEREST - AND IF CALLED TO, AN ACTIVE ROLE - IN THE GOVERNANCE OF THE REPUBLIC.
"HE THEREFORE IS THE TRUEST FRIEND TO THE LIBERTY OF HIS COUNTRY WHO TRIES MOST TO PROMOTE ITS VIRTUE, AND WHO, SO FAR AS HIS POWER AND INFLUENCE EXTENDS, WILL NOT SUFFER A MAN TO BE CHOSEN INTO ANY OFFICE OF POWER AND TRUST WHO IS NOT A WISE AND VIRTUOUS MAN... THE SUM OF ALL IS, IF WE WOULD MOST TRULY ENJOY THIS GIFT OF HEAVEN, LET US BECOME A VIRTUOUS PEOPLE." HALL, CHRISTIAN HISTORY, 304B
NOVEMBER 3:
IN 1777, AS CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW YORK, JOHN JAY EXPRESSED HIS CONCERN THAT IT WAS THE DUTY OF MEN OF FAITH TO BECOME ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THEIR GOVERNMENT:
"PROVIDENCE HAS GIVEN TO OUR PEOPLE THE CHOICE OF THEIR RULERS, AND IT IS THE DUTY, AS WELL AS THE PRIVILEGE AND INTEREST, OF A CHRISTIAN NATION TO SELECT AND PREFER CHRISTIANS FOR THEIR RULERS." MORRIS, CHRISTIAN LIFE, 154
NOVEMBER 4: SUNDAY:
MAY I SHARE WITH YOU A POEM FROM A POLITICAL BOOKLET WHICH I PUBLISHED IN 1968. A COPY OF IT IS IN THE NIXON PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY IN YORBA LINDA, CALIFORNIA.
"WHY MR. NIXON IN '68" - A SERIES OF 14 LETTERS (FEB. 1967 - MARCH 1968)" BY GEORGE H. KUBECK - COST 50 CENTS.
FROM THE SECOND LETTER, PAGE 8, DATED FEBRUARY 26, 1967- POEM BY J.G. HOLLAND
GOD GIVE US MEN A TIME LIKE THIS DEMANDS
STRONG MINDS, GREAT HEARTS, TRUE FAITH AND READY HANDS,
MEN WHOM THE LUST OF OFFICE DOES NOT KILL,
MEN WHOM THE SPOILS OF OFFICE CANNOT BUY,
MEN WHO EXPRESS OPINIONS AND A WILL,
MEN WHO LOVE HONOR, MEN WHO CANNOT LIE.
GEORGE H. KUBECK
"THE ELECTION OF 2016 WAS A MIRACLE. MAY THIS NOV. 6, 2018 ELECTION BE LIKEWISE."
