“Our culture, like Hosea’s, is busy tearing down the ancient landmarks that commemorate the display of God’s grace and power in our heritage. It is ignoring and reinterpreting what God has done in our history to bring us where we are today. This revision of history has as its purpose to leave the impression with our youth that history is on the side of anti-Christianity rather than Biblical Christianity.

You and I must resist and overcome all attempts of our culture to cut itself loose from the past, from solid historical precedents and milestones, like the founding of Jamestown as a beachhead of Christianity in the new world, from tried and proven guides in truth and ethics, such as the Protestant Reformation and English Puritanism in the 16th and 17th centuries, and from the absolute moral standard of God’s law. Today’s western culture has broken down the barriers between right and wrong, between God and false gods; and in doing this it is murdering Western Civilization.”

Dr. Joe Morecraft, from his address as keynote speaker at the Jamestown Quadricentennial: A Celebration of Our Providential History
