On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/15/21), Hank reflects on the words of one of the great presidents of the United States of America, George Washington. Every February we celebrate Presidents Day, a holiday that originated as Washington’s Birthday in 1885. The question Hank seeks to answer is, “why celebrate Presidents Day today—136 years after its establishment and 289 years after Washington’s birth on February 22, 1732?” There are some obvious reasons. Washington was, of course, our first president. He served as commander-in-chief of colonial armies during the American Revolution. He set the standard for all presidents that would follow in his train. He was a man of great personal integrity. He famously established the maxim that liberty is greater than any singular individual. And, Hank’s favorite reason for celebrating this holiday, he is eminently quotable. “It is better to live alone than in bad company.” “Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” “All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” These quotes from George Washington show that he was a president that knew the Bible, as they all echo that which is taught in Holy Scripture.
