FLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS

"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers . . . and it was not there . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forest . . . and it was not there . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce . . . and it was not there . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution . . . and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits FLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."

 
~ Democracy in America by Alexis De Tocqueville (about 1835 -1840)
 
May our pulpits FLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS again!
