“Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.”—–Alexis de Tocqueville
That was almost two centuries ago.
If only it could be said of America today.
Preachers, seek God’s message, and fire away, this week.
And the rest of the quote:
“In the end, the state of the Union comes down to the character of the people. … I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, and it was not there. I sought for it in the fertile fields, and boundless prairies, and it was not there. I sought it in her rich mines, and vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.”
