Constitution Day

Test Your Knowledge Today, September 17th, we celebrate Constitution Day--the day the Founding Fathers signed the US Constitution in 1787. Significantly, many of the delegates directly involved in writing the Constitution credit God for that document. For example, Alexander Hamilton said: "For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God could never have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests." So as we celebrate the Constitution and acknowledge God for His goodness in helping America become the longest on-going constitutional republic in the world, take time to: 1) read the Constitution and 2) learn more about this document and the people who were involved in its creation.  Take this quiz and test your knowledge! 1.

More forgotten U.S. History from The WallBuilders:   National Bible Week At the beginning of World War II, a group of leaders in New York City searched for a way to inspire hope during that time of world conflict They agreed that the Bible was the greatest source of hope for any people and any nation. In 1941, leaders of the Laymen's Bible Association were invited to the White House to announce the first National Bible Week to raise awareness about the Bible and encourage people to read it. (In 1944, Franklin Roosevelt went further, asking the nation to read the Bible not just for one week but for several weeks, specifically from Thanksgiving to Christmas.) Over the decades, this celebration has continued, being commemorated during Thanksgiving week. So, this week is National Bible Week ! Some of America's early leaders took an active role in promoting the Bible and encouraging its reading. For example, Charles Thoms...
