#1: Opportunity for Nation Building

Revolutions may overthrow tyrants, but they are no guarantee that one tyrant is not replaced by someone or something worse.Free, just, compassionate and prosperous nations are built upon certain God ordained fundamental principles.

What does it mean that Free, Just,Compassionate and Prosperous nations are built?

What does it mean to be a nation builder?

The world celebrates the courage of those who risk their lives to overthrow tyrannical governments. Because of their daring and valiant stand, a precious opportunity exists—an opportunity to rebuild nations.   -- To create governments which foster freedom over tyranny, justice over oppression, and prosperity over poverty.   -- To form governments which respect the honor and dignity of every citizen.

Yes, an opportunity exists. But there are no guarantees. History is littered with countless once-promising revolutions that resulted in even greater tyranny and oppression. Can this fate be avoided, and if so, how? 

 Free, just and prosperous nations are like fruitful trees. To flourish, they require the right conditions, and the right soil.

What are the conditions that give rise to free, just and prosperous nations?  What are the foundational principles upon which such nations are built?

This is what we must understand, for upon it depends the future of our nations, our families, and our very lives.
