Attacking America’s Founding = Attacking the Church

“Our duty as citizens is not a solitary one. It is connected with all the duties that belong to us as men. The civil, the social, the Christian virtues are requisite to render us worthy the continuation of that government which is the freest on earth… Amidst these profuse blessings of nature and of Providence, BEWARE! Standing is this place, sacred to truth, I dare not undertake to assure you that your liberties and your happiness may not be lost. Men are subject to men’s misfortunes. If an angel should be winged from Heaven, on an errand of mercy to our country, the first accents that would glow on his lips would be, Beware! be cautious! you have everything to lose; you have nothing to gain. We live under the only government that ever existed which was framed by the unrestrained and deliberate consultations of the people. Miracles do not cluster. That which has happened but once in six thousand years cannot be expected to happen often. Such a government, once gone, might leave a void, to be filled, for ages, with revolution and tumult, riot and despotism. The history of the world is before us.”

Daniel Webster, Fryeburg Academy address: July 4, 1802 [1]

Repeatedly, the founding fathers made it clear that America’s foundation was a Bible-based foundation, and it will fall if that foundation is removed or destroyed. For example, President John Adams wrote to the Massachusetts Militia, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”. [2]

The Biblical foundation was so solid because it encompassed the entirety of the Bible: the Law, the Gospel, and even a literal understanding of its history, including Genesis. Notice how Daniel Webster stated there has only been roughly 6,000 years of history. That conclusion can only be reached through a literal understanding of Genesis and Biblical history.

Indeed, the erosion of American morality and liberty has directly coincided with the erosion of Biblical adherence and acceptance of evolutionary dogma (i.e. Social Darwinism). The history and state of the Union can be summarized as such:

1. Divine, Miraculous Founding of America

a. BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

b. BLESSED & PROSPEROUS NATION

2. Acceptance of Alternative Origins

a. EVOLUTION

3. Acceptance of Alternative Morals

a. SOCIAL DARWINISM

4. Attacks on American’s Founding

a. BIBLICAL FOUNDATION ATTACKED

5. Discrediting and Marginalizing the Church

a. BIBLICAL INFLUENCE REMOVED

b. DESCENT INTO IMMORALITY, CORRUPTION, CRIME, CHAOS, TOTALITARIAN CONTROL

Because America and the Church have the same foundation (God’s Word, Eph. 2:20), an attack on America’s founding = an attack on the Church’s founding. Hence, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is rendered meaningless and even vile to those indoctrinated with revisionist history. Those in the Church of Jesus Christ need to realize what is happening and understand that, though they are vitally important, elections will never save America. Revival through the power of the Gospel is the only means to salvation for the individual and the United States.

Thus it falls, once again, upon the pulpits of America to inform the parents in the pews of the Biblical truths of salvation, liberty, and Bible-based government. The parents then pass this on to the next generation who will continue to stand up for these principles. This, in fact, is how the United States was birthed – by the preaching of Biblical principles upon which the founding fathers acted (study the Black Robe Regiment). [3]

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” the founders unanimously declared, “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

It all begins with acknowledgement of the Creator, to whom we are all accountable. As John Jay (first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court) said in his May 13, 1824 address to the American Bible Society, “We know that a great proportion of mankind are ignorant of the revealed will of God… To the most sagacious among the heathen it must appear wonderful and inexplicable that such a vicious, suffering being as man should have proceeded… from the hands of his Creator… By conveying the Bible to people thus circumstanced we certainly do them a most interesting act of kindness. We thereby enable them to learn, that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness, but, becoming disobedient, was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced. The Bible will also inform them, that our gracious Creator had provided for us a Redeemer, in whom all the nations of the earth should be blessed – that this Redeemer has made atonement ‘for the sins of the whole world,’ and thereby reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy, has opened a way for our redemption and salvation; and that these inestimable benefits are of the free gift and grace of God… They, therefore, who enlist in His service, have the highest encouragement to fulfil the duties assigned to their respective stations; for most certain it is, that those of His followers who steadfastly and vigorously contribute to the furtherance and completion of His conquests, will also participate in the transcendent glories and blessings of HIS TRIUMPH.” [4]

Looking Back

By Matt Miles • March 19, 2026

There are moments in life that we experience the Lord’s Providence, which is the continual guiding and caring of us for His purposes. We may go though trials and suffering now to refine our faith in preparation for eternity. Other times we may see it for the here and now, with the aligning of plans for His purpose in our life, maybe with the opening or closing of a door. Many times we see Providence only in hindsight, looking back on life and seeing His hand working, molding and inspiring us for His plans and to His glory. I can see the Lord’s Providence at many times over the course of my life. Early in my grade school years I developed a love for building models I was recently reminded, along with my father, that we built a train set together in our basement. Following that, I began to build model cars and airplanes. I now know that love of building, tinkering and problem solving was Providence preparing me for this ministry. The Lord taught me early on how to stay focused and pay attention to detail. What I thought was only a hobby at the time is now something I must use on a regular basis in things such as fossil restoration, building crates, trailer and vehicle maintenance for our mobile museum. Later in high school, while active in church, the Lord called me to serve our children’s church ministry. I began to help teach others about Jesus. It seemed insignificant at the time. I remember helping in lesson times and the puppet ministry. I even was cast as “Pastor Rufus” in one of our ongoing puppet skits. My opportunities to share Christ and be an example to those younger than I was tremendous. Again through His Providence, the Lord was guiding me and calling me to ministry. He developed in me the love of teaching His Word to others, priceless to me today. Then in college Providence brought Theresa and I together. The Lord knew exactly who I needed to be my bride for life. She is strong in my weakness and more Christ-like than anyone I know. She is the perfect helpmate and partner for me in ministry as well, which has so far been 34 years, to be exact. Many times the Lord has used her discernment to direct me through a situation that I did not see correctly. I am thankful every day for Providence that brought us together in life and eternal work. As I look back on my life, there are more Providential moments than I have space to write. Most of those times have directly guided me to this specific ministry and my call to preach and teach His Word. Looking back on life and identifying those moments of Providence from the Lord is humbling and awe-inspiring. Please take a moment to remember your own moments when Providence has been evident in your life. This ministry is about identifying Providence from the beginning. His plan from the start is us spending eternity in His presence. Our sin messed some things up, but not His plan. He always has and always will know exactly how to guide and care for us so that we bring Him the glory, now and eternally. There is not a month that goes by that we here at CTF don’t praise the Lord for His Providence through you, our supporters and sustainers. Join with me in thanks for His Providence each day, guiding as only our Creator and Savior could do. Psalms 31:3-5 Blessings.
