The Story of America's Founding

As we look back on the history of America's founding, we are reminded of the words of William Bradford, Governor of Plymouth Plantation, who said, 'Lastly and chiefly the way to prosper and achieve good success is to make yourselves all of one mind for the good of the country and your own and to serve and fear God – the giver of all that is good and for every plantation which our heavenly Father hath not planted, may He root out.' 'Jack Hibbs'

These words reflect the mindset of the early settlers who came to America with a deep sense of purpose and faith. They knew that their journey was not just about establishing a new home, but also about spreading the Christian faith and bringing glory to God.

In 1611, King James of England wrote, 'James, by the grace of God, king of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, defender of the faith, whereas upon the humble petition of our well-disposed subjects that intended to make several plantations in America in hope thereby to advance the enlargement of the Christian faith will do so by the glory of God Almighty.' 'Jack Hibbs'

Similarly, Christopher Columbus wrote in 1491, 'It is hoped that by God's assistance that some of the continents in the ocean will be discovered for the glory of God.' 'Jack Hibbs'

The founding of America was not an accident to those who had been called to it. It was a deliberate act of faith and obedience to God's calling.

As Romans 13:1-2 says, 'Let every soul be subjected to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.' 'Jack Hibbs'

In conclusion, the story of America's founding is one of faith, purpose, and obedience to God's calling. It is a reminder that history is indeed His-Story, written by the hand of God for our benefit and edification.
