May your mind be thoroughly impressed with the absolute necessity of universal virtue and goodness, as the only sure road to happiness, and may you walk therein with undeviating steps. —Abigail Adams— The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and […]
The Constitution outlines the role of the courts, but for some time they have been operating beyond their proper function. We must change how we see them, understand their appropriate role, and stop allowing the growth of power. Each new interpretation of plain text that widens the judiciary’s authority is a dangerous violation of the […]
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. —Benjamin Franklin— Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to […]
It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. —Patrick Henry1— We are living in a day far beyond those when we heard the initial pleas for “tolerance” and “openness” with regard to sexual freedom. These voices have morphed. They now issue shrill and oppressive demands that, unfortunately, seem to be carrying […]
God did not give us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control. Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in the suffering for the gospel and the power of God. —2 Timothy 1:7-8, the Bible passage Kim Davis asked Liberty Counsel attorney […]
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” —Humpty Dumpty in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass1— The “little man,” the private citizen, can at any time stand up and, on the basis of biblical teaching, say that the majority is wrong. […]
In this post, we’ll talk about what you can do. Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! —Isaiah […]
I am so grateful today for the Supreme Court’s ruling in Coach Joe Kennedy’s favor. Coach Kennedy lost his job for kneeling in prayer on the 50-yard line following football games. He coerced no one but simply exercised his First Amendment right to practice his faith. Now the Supreme Court has recognized that right and […]
College Park, Georgia, is the home of Chick-fil-A’s Corporate Headquarters. Do you remember when millions of Christians stood with you when the radical left called for a boycott of your fine company? Do you remember when they turned the boycott into a “buycott”? These same Christians are scratching their heads today. They are wondering why the […]
We are comforted by Dan Cathy’s assurance [given to to Franklin Graham] that Chick-fil-A hasn’t changed and isn’t going to change. But what then was intended by the corporate announcement last week? It told readers that a change in policy had occurred. What was it really? JDFI [James Dobson Family Institute] and conservative Christians across […]
I’d like to be remembered as one who kept my priorities in the right order. We live in a changing world, but we need to be reminded that the important things have not changed, and the important things will not change if we keep our priorities in proper order. —S. Truett Cathy— You have to […]
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light […]
[In America,] we have the Liberty Bell, not the Equality Bell. —Dennis Prager, at about 37:40 into his speech at the University of California at Irvine— Key point: When rights are created and manipulated by the government, government is playing god. The surest safeguard against this tyranny is a societal consensus rooted in the understanding of […]
It’s not up to the courts to decide what marriage is, it’s up to God to decide that. If we are living in obedience to Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Bible we are on the right side of history—no matter what they say. —Jack Phillips— Jack is the right person to pick a […]
To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A. —Chick-fil-A’s corporate purpose statement— Key point: Authentic Christians believe in biblical teachings about marriage and sexuality, yet they still are genuinely concerned about the welfare of […]
If truth be not diffused, error will be. —Daniel Webster— Jason, a committed believer, entered his freshman year of college at a state university with a prayer that he would be able to defend his faith courageously and openly—but without being obnoxious. He enjoyed getting to know his fellow students and found that he and […]
