John Witherspoon was a great patriot. A member of Congress, a signer of the Declaration of Independence–and a top educator he served as president of Princeton University, where he trained nearly seventy of the Founding Fathers–including one President, one Vice President, three Supreme Court Justices, ten cabinet members, twelve Governors, twenty-one Senators, and thirty-nine Congressmen–all under the Princeton Philosophy which had declared: "Cursed be all that learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ." Too bad Princeton lost that vision! Looking at that list I realized that we haven't included those he trained for state, local, and municipal offices! And the list is already at 70!
So what? I'd like to share this quote from this famous and outstanding patriot and identifying an American Patriot: "[H]e is the best friend to American liberty, who is most sincere and active in promoting true and undefiled religion, and who sets himself with the greatest firmness to bear down on profanity and immorality of every kind. Whoever is an avowed enemy of God, I scruple not [would not hesitate] to call him an enemy to this country!" For "religion" read "Christianity" and God, of whom he speaks so reverently, is the God of the Bible.
Remember the Princeton Philosophy in those early days of our history! "Cursed be all that learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ!" No one understood better that government, in this nation, is merely a reflection of its citizens. If the citizens are profane and immoral, the government will be profane and immoral. Surprise! Surprise! Our corrupt government of today is a reflection of a nation that has abandoned God, the Bible, the Ten Commandments, Prayer, and everything that is pure and holy. Are we having fun yet?
