Columbus Day—October 8, 2012
America’s God And Country —–William Federer
This morning I was very privileged to hear Bill Federer share a summary of Columbus’ life and voyages, the way it really happened, from diaries and journals and ship logs.
From Columbus’ personal journal at sea, in search of the new world: “I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and proud, and have revealed them unto babes.” (I would say God honored Columbus for that.) You would be amazed by his other frequent quotes from the Bible.
It is quite different from what is taught, or not taught, in today’s public schools. It is safe to say that most attempts to place Columbus, and the founding fathers of America, in a negative way without God, are simply inaccurate.
The Godly foundation of our country, and even our continent, explains our success—unparalled in history.
The departure from that Godly foundation, will explain our demise.
That does not have to happen—we do not have to parallel history just because everybody else does.
