God and country

On January 13, 1947, U.S. Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall stated: “The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights… The time is come… to hear about responsibilities… America’s future depends upon her accepting and demonstrating God’s government.”

Opening a session of the 80th Congress, July 3, 1947, Peter Marshall prayed: “God of our Fathers… may it be ever understood that our liberty is under God and… to the extent that America honors thee, wilt thou bless America.”

All our problems, moral and economic decline, are related to turning our backs on God.
