Unit Description
“The great characteristic of the American people was their power of organization. They were organizing business, and preparing to make use of coming conveniences of intercourse; they were building highways, accumulating capital, and opening up the unrivaled treasure-house of the West. Above all they were organizing towns, counties, and states — if they could also organize a strong national government, nothing could stay their progress as a nation. As an observer said, ‘The American is a new man who acts upon new principles; he must, therefore, entertain new ideas, and form new opinions’… ” – Albert Bushnell

Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles
[list type=”arrow”]
- God’s providential hand governs and times all events and provides for his Creation according to His plan and purposes.
- The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us..- Acts 17:24-27
