> It’s the uncontested opinion of a very small circle of my friends that we will never take a Christian leftist to the zoo. Aside from the fact that Christians have had a historical tendency to be thrown to the lions, there have been a few cases in which Christians …
It may have escaped your notice but the world went completely insane in the last week of November. In the wake of the Paris Islamic outrages that left over 130 killed and more than 300 badly injured, after the carnage in a Mali hotel, following the downing of Russian passenger …
If I could change one thing about Christianity today, I would make Jesus the God of the poor. If this sounds as if I’ve forgotten all the passages about the meek inheriting the earth and camels going through the eye of a needle, some explanation may be necessary. Whatever the …
Are you a conservative, a libertarian, a Christian or a gun owner? Are you opposed to abortion, globalism, Communism, illegal immigration, the United Nations or the New World Order? Do you believe in conspiracy theories, do you believe that we are living in the “end times” or do you ever …
Just in case you’ve forgotten, gay rights and gay marriage won’t affect you in any way. Remember that promise? Don’t like gay marriage? Don’t enter into one. That’s all you have to do and you’re square, bro. But that was always a lie, and as we’ve discussed in this space …
Once Pope Francis boarded a plane back to the Vatican, President Barack Obama wasted not time getting back to business as usual — attacking religious freedom. On Sunday night, at a Democratic National Committee-sponsored event in New York City billed as an “LGBT gala,” Obama took to the podium and …
The Rev. Franklin Graham, son of legendary Rev. Billy Graham, has been a bold Christian leader. In today’s age of “gay marriage” and political correctness, it’s harder than ever to stand up for our values, but Rev. Graham is doing it! President Barack Obama has been toxic to our nation. …
“Haters are going to hate” is how Shepard Smith of Fox News referred to supporters of Christian clerk Kim Davis on his Tuesday afternoon show. It was another example of the anti-Christian bias that has been rearing its ugly head on a channel that many conservatives had looked to for …
We Christians have always been very good at prayer. It’s an important act that brings us closer to Jesus Christ. There are many passages in the Bible that emphasize the importance of prayer. But it finally dawned on me a few weeks ago that Christians keep praying and keep losing …
“There’s an assault on anything having to do with Christianity,” he said It’s easier for Muslim immigrants to enter the U.S. than Christians fleeing ISIS, Donald Trump pointed out. “There’s a real assault on Christianity when you look at what’s going on in Syria and ISIS,” the presidential candidate said …
The Rights of Christians A Publication of The Rutherford Institute With an Introduction by John W. Whitehead Introduction by John W. Whitehead The essence of what has been said and written on the subject is that only those interests of the highest order and those not otherwise served can overbalance …
While gays are our siblings in Christ, the gay lifestyle is nothing like the straight lifestyle. That’s why we have to condemn the gay lifestyle because we love gays as people, just as we condemn smoking out of love for smokers. One of the key reasons that gay “marriage” has …
A incident in Florida has revived an ancient mechanism for persecuting Christians: forcing them to stomp on a representation of Jesus. It reveals a mindset of the left determined to weaken and destroy Christian civilization from within. Todd Starnes of Fox News recently reported a Florida Atlantic University professor instructed …
This question is backwards, yet this assumption has been expressed frequently by Christians. What should be asked is whether the United States has abandoned God. There are some out there who have reached this conclusion, but the true consequence of rejecting the motto, “In God We Trust,” is what this …
”Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged. When our Founding Fathers passed the First Amendment, they sought to protect churches from government interference. They never intended to construct a wall of hostility between government and the concept of religious belief itself. … To those who cite the First Amendment as reason for excluding God from more and more of our institutions every day, I say: The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.” ― President Ronald Reagan
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” – President John Adams
“The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.” – John F. Kennedy
“Education is useless without the Bible. The Bible was America’s basic text book in all fields. God’s Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct.” – Noah Webster
”The only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government is the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible.” – Benjamin Rush
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable.” – George Washington
“The Bible is the rock on which our Republic rests.” – President Andrew Jackson
“In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man’s welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it. – President Abraham Lincoln
“For my own part, I sincerely esteem it [the Constitution] a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests.” – Alexander Hamilton
“Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.” ― William Penn
“We have this day [Fourth of July] restored the Sovereign to whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in Heaven, and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His Kingdom come.” – Samual Adams
“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever.” – President Thomas Jefferson
”Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first, the most basic, expression of Americanism. Thus, the founding fathers of America saw it, and thus with God’s help, it will continue to be.” – President Dwight D. Eisenhower
“The way liberals are interpreting the First Amendment today is that it prevents anyone who is religious from being in government.” ― Rush Limbaugh
”I believe that the next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal paganism.” – President Theodore Roosevelt
“The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.” – President Calvin Coolidge
“Once abolish the God and the government becomes the God.” ― G.K. Chesterton
“I will raise my voice as long as God gives me sound or ability, against this Communistic idea that the Government will take care of us all, and everything belongs to the government. It is wrong!” ― David O. McKay
“For years we’ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our
government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe
He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His
protection if we demand He leave us alone?” ― Anne Graham
“I have lived, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth — that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid.” – Benjamin Franklin
“Rights are either God-given as part of the divine plan, or they are granted by
government as part of the political plan. If we accept the premise that human
rights are granted by government, then we must be willing to accept the
corollary that they can be denied by government.” ― Ezra Taft Benson
“We should remember that the Declaration of Independence is not merely a
historical document. It is an explicit recognition that our rights derive not
from the King of England, not from the judiciary, not from government at all,
but from God. The keystone of our system of popular sovereignty is the
recognition, as the Declaration acknowledges, that ’all men are created equal’
and ’endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.’ Religion and God
are no alien to our system of government, they’re integral to it.” ― Mark R.
Levin
“America is ensnared in self-indulgence and its future hangs in the balance. Our moral and spiritual foundations are rapidly being destroyed. Our arrogance is producing a socialist state that is becoming our god. The entitlement state of mind has created a nation that looks to the government for the answer to our problems, when the only answer is, “Our Father which art in heaven.” ― John Hagee
“The Limit of this obligation to obedience [to the civil government] will be found only when we are commanded to do something contrary to the superior authority of God (Acts iv. 19; v. 29); or when the civil government has become so radically and incurably corrupt that it has ceased to accomplish the ends for which it was established. When that point has unquestionably been reached, when all means of redress have been exhausted without avail, when there appears no prospect of securing reform in the government itself, and some good prospect of securing it by revolution, then it is the privilege and duty of a Christian people to change their government – peacefully if they may, forcibly if they must.” ― Archibald Alexander Hodge
“If there is no final place for civil disobedience, then the government has been made autonomous, and as such, it has been put in the place of the living God.” ― Francis August Schaeffer
“The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount…If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State.” ― President Harry S. Truman
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” – Patrick Henry
