Founding Fathers Quote Friday
A lot of things can be said - and have been said - about Benjamin Franklin. Being a man of keen insight is one of those things.
He stated in a letter dated March 1778 to the Minister of France:
"A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district - all studied and appreciated as they merit - are the principle support of virtue, morality, and civil liberty."I wonder if - as we see the statistics of declining Christianity, the failing of print newspapers, the attacks on the educational system, the decline in virtue and morality in public and private circles, and the erosion of (and understanding of) the concept of civil liberty - there is a connection...

Hello Mike! Thanks for participating today!
Great quote! I think there is a connection between all of these things. A lot of people think this may be crazy, but I think that the goal of it all is ultimately to bring all peoples and nations under a unitary control. Remember what the Book of Revelation says about the "mark of the beast."
When the people are enslaved to worldly lusts, when they are not changed by the power of Christ through the Gospel, and when they are dumbed down through social engineering and popular media, etc., I think that we can reasonably assume, based upon history and biblical prophecy, that it has a singular purpose behind it: global control.
Thank God, greater is He that lives in us that the spirit of antichrist that is in the world. Thank God, there is the promise of a NEW heaven and earth, where righteousness dwells.
Thanks again for participating. I wrote my post:
