Dear Victorious,
I read your answer to a letter the other day about the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of the "pursuit of life, liberty and happiness." If you were a founding father, what might you have put in our Constitution instead?

Dear Martha,
There are many thoughts that come to my mind. But 1 Timothy 2:2 contains some very sound tenets that I think might be appropriate as the fabric for a nation. It says, "... that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."
To my way of thinking, that is a considerably better alternative to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The latter seems to feed our selfishness and fan the flames of unrighteousness. It would be much better to be a nation with founding principles that point us to godly living.
