Remember America

Remember America

Remember America® is designed to protect, preserve, and proclaim America’s Christian history to help restore our nation to the biblical principles upon which it was founded. Remember America is part of Dayspring Christian Academy’s broader vision and mission to restore the biblical foundation of America. The school endeavors to do so by raising up students with a biblical worldview and starting each subject with God’s Word. We teach a providential view of history, so students learn to see how God used people and nations to accomplish His plans and purposes. In doing so, students learn to see that God had a plan and purpose for America—just as He does for all nations.

“Remember America is based upon the conviction that the freedom and liberty our nation enjoys came from God through His son, Jesus Christ, and is the result or effect of Christianity’s development and westward march from Asia, through Europe and England to America,” said Dayspring Christian Academy Founder Dr. Michael Myers. “Remember America acknowledges that the United States of America was the fullest expression of biblical principles in the civil realm that the world had ever known. Our mission is to restore that biblical foundation.”

To understand the history of America, at Dayspring students study America’s founding from original and primary sources–from the journal written by Pilgrim Governor William Bradford through America’s founding documents. In doing so, the biblical principles that undergird our constitutional republic are uncovered. These principles are the pillars of liberty in our nation and were a result of a prevailing biblical worldview during our founding era. But as America began to turn further away from its founding principles, liberty waned. It is true that the more Americans relinquish faith in the absolute power of God, belief in an all-powerful State rises.

However, those same biblical principles that were at work during our founding era are alive today and able to renovate the age. To extend our method of education beyond the classrooms, God inspired the Remember America idea.

It’s Time to Remember, America!

In the early 1990s, Dayspring’s Founder Dr. Michael Myers began a radio segment on WDAC titled “It’s Time to Remember, America!” Using original documents and primary sources, Dr. Myers sought to canvass and rehearse the voices of our American ancestors and apply their perspectives to present day. This radio show was later compiled into the book by the same title, It’s Time to Remember, America! bearing in its title a charge for us today.

From this seed, God launched the entire Remember America initiative that engages the community throughout the year in outreach events that educate and inspire audiences to restore our nation. Over the past 13 years, our events have reached nearly 25,000 guests.
