| AC21DOJ DISCLAIMER: The information included in this section is intended as a call to prayer and responsible civic action. Besides the fact that such is fully in keeping with our Christian mandate to be salt and light, it is offered as a balance against the liberal mainstream media's continuing campaign to provide very slanted, ever-positive coverage of President Obama and his administration. |
One can only conclude that President Obama is on a personal quest to politicize depravity and silence dissent. -- AC21DOJ
For too long, America has been held captive by men who are characters, when what we have needed is men of character, and it's not just a matter for philosophical discussion. History has shown that a crisis does not create character but reveals it." -- Will Hall (executive editor of Baptist Press)
Whenever government wants to "do something," ask yourself three questions. 1) Who pays for it? 2) How much will it cost? 3) Will it work? With this brief analysis, one almost always finds "something" is not worth it, is wrongheaded, or makes things worse. -- Thomas Sowell (source)
[W]e must be careful to avoid making a Messiah out of any ruler or state between now and the eschaton. ... We should be active as much as possible in political solutions, but we should always keep a certain emotional and ideological distance, knowing that the ultimate political solution to every human problem will be riding a white horse (Rev. 19:11), and he will not need the "evangelical vote." -- Russell D. Moore (source)
The Bible stresses the importance of the individual, the family and the church as well as government. Government is not the ultimate or final authority in society; it is only one institution alongside others. At the same time it is equally wrong to try to separate the gospel from politics. The Bible focuses not only on the church but also on political authorities as those charged by God with exercising a ministry of justice. -- Paul Marshall (source)
Throughout history Christians have constituted a major voice in society championing justice, compassion, procedural integrity and freedom. Parties in political office and in opposition need to hear such exhortation -- they need to hear it often, clearly and loudly. -- John H. Redekop (source)
