Jesse Cope explores the connection between biblical principles and American liberty, diving into 2 Corinthians 7 on the difference between godly and worldly sorrow, and examining why America's founders intentionally created a republic rather than a democracy.
• True repentance shows evidence of change and demonstrates our faith in Christ to others
• America's founders deliberately established a republic, not a democracy, which they viewed as dangerous and self-destructive
• Historical quotes from Madison, Adams, and Fisher Ames warn about the dangers of democratic systems
• Abigail Adams' letter to John Adams demonstrates the faith that sustained founding families during national trials
• The restoration of America depends on returning to God and the general principles of Christ
• Recommended resources include America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations and The Patriot's Bible
May God bless you, your marriages, your families, America, and your nation wherever you are around the world.
