“I thank the gentleman for yielding. The Bible, wow, what a book. You know, Billy Graham said in the 1950s in one of his early books called ``Peace with God,'' he said: There is one thing that has never changed since day one of creation. The truth has always been the truth, and it always will be. There is only one place to go to find that truth, and that is in God's Holy Word, the Bible. You know, I think our Founders understood that nearly 2,000 years before Billy Graham ever spoke those words on the floor of the Constitutional Convention. Benjamin Franklin, in a moment of frustration because they were at an impasse trying to write the Constitution of the United States, brought focus to what was happening on the Convention floor. He was recognized by the President of the Convention, George Washington, and he stood up and said these words: I have lived long, sir, and the longer I live and the more I see, the more convincing proof I see of this truth that God deals in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow can't fall from the sky without His notice, how do we think it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? Other Founders understood where the truth was to be found. John Adams went on to say: The Constitution of the United States is a document designed to govern a moral and religious people, and it is wholly inadequate for any other. I believe that is because our Founders understood that to be a self- governing people, we had to be grounded in our faith.…”
