Christian Reflection and Prayer

Your principles have been the music of my
life throughout the years of my pilgrimage.
I reflect at night on who you are, O Lord,
and I obey your law because of this.
Psalm 119:54-55 NLT

The testimony of presidents

The Bible was clearly important to many
American presidents. A few examples:

It is impossible to govern the world
without God and the Bible.
George Washington

The whole inspiration of our civilization
springs from the teachings of Christ and
the lessons of the prophets. To read the
Bible for these fundamentals is a necessity
of American life. Herbert Hoover

In regard to this great book, I have but to
say, it is the best gift God has given to man.
All the good Savior gave to the world was
communicated through this book. But for it
we could not know right from wrong. All things
most desirable for man's welfare, here and
hereafter, are to found portrayed in it.
Abraham Lincoln

Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of
your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts
and practice them in your lives. To the influence
of this book we are indebted for all the progress
made in true civilization, and to this we must
look as our guide in the future. Righteousness
exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any
people. Ulysses S. Grant
