The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by a Baptist minister, Francis Bellamy.

The words “In God We Trust” are traced to the efforts of Rev. M.R. Watkinson.

Rev. John Witherspoon, a Presbyterian minister who founded what became Princeton University, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

1. We are free to ignore the very things that others died to provide.
2. We are free to give up the right to worship God in our own way.
3. We are free to set aside, as of no consequence, the church’s open door.
4. We are free to let the Bible gather dust.
5. We are free to neglect the liberties we have inherited.

Three principles to internalize the motto,
“In God We Trust.”

1 Reverence for God - Verse 18

2 Dependence Upon God’s Power - Verse 21.

Isaiah 37:
Verses 21-24a. I Heard You.
Verses 24b-27. I Made You.
Verse 28. I Know You

3 Hope In His Unfailing Love Verses 18,20, & 22.
