Proverbs 29:2 Amplified Bible (AMP)
2When the [uncompromisingly] righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh.
The time has come that Christians must vote for honest men, and take consistent ground in politics.... God cannot sustain this free and blessed country, which we love and pray for, unless the Church will take right ground.... Christians must do their duty to the country as a part of their duty to God. It seems sometimes as if the foundations of the nation are becoming rotten, and Christians seem to act as if they think God does not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it, and He will bless or curse this nation, according to the course Christians take.
Rev. Charles G. Finney (1792-1875),
Revivalist in the Second and Third Great Awakenings, College President
Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation... it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.
James A. Garfield (1831-1881),
US President, Minister of the Gospel
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers. It is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest, of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.
John Jay (1745-1829),
Original Chief-Justice of the US Supreme Court, President of the American Bible Society
Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God [Exodus 18:21].... If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted... If government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.
Noah Webster (1758-1843),
Founding Father, Educator
Proverbs 14:34 New International Version (NIV)
34 Righteousness exalts a nation...
Psalm 33:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD...
