What really made America great

Psalm 33:12 - "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance."
400 years ago: The Mayflower Compact was a foundational agreement (more than a document) containing ideals that led to basic American democracy.
Putting God ahead of themselves, the Pilgrims also opened the window of God's blessings on this New World nation.
Their "covenant" was with each other and God. They did not arrive to "conquer," they came to settle, "advance the Christian faith" and establish a form of self-government that would treat everyone the same.
They made friends with the indigenous people and conducted trade with them. The nation has drifted far from the compact signed Nov. 11, 1620.
