The God of our fathers is the same God worshiped since the dawn of human existence. He is the God worshiped by Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Solomon, all of the Old Testament prophets, Ezra, Nehemiah, John the Baptist, all of Christ’s apostles and the early Christians. He is the God worshiped by those who followed in their footsteps and the God worshiped today all around the world in countless tongues and cultures. This is the God in whom we trust (as stamped on our American money), the God invoked in our founding documents and the God called upon at the opening sessions of the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress. This is the God to whom we cry when calamity hits us.
