John F. Kretchman: Founding father followed God’s wisdom

Our founding fathers built their new nation and governed their people based on biblical principles. They tried to please God, while also trying to please men and women. Dependence upon God by our nations’ leaders has slowly deteriorated over the past 239 years.

Today, our nation’s “Fathers” do not use God or His word to govern. Their goals are to please men and women, not God.

We are no longer “One nation under God.”

All that is required for evil to exist in America is for enough godly men and women to stand by doing nothing.

John F. Kretchman, Sonora
