From my Jonathan Edwards files:
The achievements of his descendants are such that the Edwards family used to be cited in psychology textbooks -- and in Ripley's Believe It Or Not column -- as proof that genius is an inherited trait.
try reading his sermon "On the Excellencies of Christ." To obtain a copy, send the message GET LION LAMB to the address LISTSERV@ASUVM.INRE.ASU.EDU and back will come a 1454-line file containing the sermon. Alternatively consult the Web at http://www.ihi.aber.ac.uk/~spk/christia.html
The Puritan influence is interwoven into the founding of this country and its great institutions. The whole foundation of this country is based upon the Christian Worldview / the Judeo-Christian ethic.
It is painful to see how the ignoble/ignominious Left has been able to get away with undermining and denigrating the foundation that was wrought by the noble minds of the Framers who suffered so much to bring it to us.
I hope that Bill Bennett and others, are wildly successful in their efforts to see to it that America's children are once again taught the true history of the founding of this country, and why upholding and defending our Constitution is so crucial if we are to protect the God-given rights and liberties of future generations, not only here, but around the world.
Thanks, again!
