SUNDAY REFLECTIONS | FAITH, CHARACTER & OUR CONSTITUTION
As we approach Constitution Day on September 17, it is worth remembering that our Founders understood something essential about liberty:
A Constitution alone cannot preserve a nation.
The principles of freedom, self-government, responsibility, and justice depend upon the character of the people entrusted with them.
John Adams famously wrote:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Adams understood that a free society requires more than laws written on paper. It requires citizens guided by conscience, personal responsibility, virtue, and respect for something greater than themselves.
Faith deeply influenced the world in which our Founders lived. Biblical teachings about human dignity, accountability, justice, morality, and the imperfect nature of mankind helped shape the ideas they brought into America’s experiment in self-government.
That is why our Constitution created checks and balances, divided power, protected individual liberty, and recognized that government itself must be restrained.
As we prepare to celebrate the signing of the Constitution, may we remember that preserving liberty is not simply the responsibility of Washington, D.C.
It begins in our homes, our churches, our schools, and in the hearts of “We the People.”
🙏 May we continue to pray for our nation, teach the next generation, and live worthy of the freedoms entrusted to us.
🇺🇸 The Constitution — Read it. Know it. Carry It.
