Speaker: Pastor Mike Lowery
Date: 7/11/2008
One of the first found references of the motto "In God We Trust" is heard in the U.S. National Anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner. The song was written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 and later adopted as the national anthem. American History demonstrates repeatedly that the nation was founded on Christian principles and its founding fathers wished to acknowledge that fact all over Washington D.C. buildings, in official documents, and historical speeches. Less than a hundred years after its Declaration of Independence, In God We Trust was proclaimed on coins. America is a free nation, and freedom of religion is still guarenteed in the Constitution's First Ammendment. President Thomas Jefferson wrote, "The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time" and asked 'Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are of God?'"Are we still a nation that believes "In God We Trust"?
