Biblical Roadmap to Restore America

To restore America should we use the same biblical principles used to shape the Declaration of Independence?

Americans are asking, “How did we get here?” and “How do we restore Liberty and Justice for all?” To answer these questions, we must revisit our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, to understand what defines us as Americans and why the founding generation was successful in starting a new nation.

While political historians typically highlight key events and quotes from the founding era to establish key founding principles, this lecture Mark Burrel takes a different approach. He begins by examining biblical principles that outline what God desires for nations, including the blueprint for starting and governing a nation justly. Mark will show how the founders used this biblical template to establish America’s national covenant through the Declaration of Independence. This adherence to biblical principles was the key that enabled them to successfully separate from England and create a just and prosperous society, which their writings and speeches affirm.

Mark will also explain how America was “conceived in liberty”, as noted by Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address, protecting both religious and civil liberties while allowing everyone to go on their own personal faith journey. Lastly, he will present a biblical roadmap for restoring America to its founding values.
