Will we choose liberty or tyranny?

Author Amy GreenPosted on September 1, 2020September 1, 2020Categories Discerning Moment

Thomas Jefferson famously said, ‘I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.’ Our Founders believed there was nothing more important than protecting our God-given right to think for ourselves.

Donald Trump, Jr., Republican National Convention 2020

Why are Americans so wiling to relinquish the ideal of self-government to an ever-encroaching federal government? Why are we giving up our property rights? Acquiescing to imposed limits upon our religious freedom?

We live in a time when the practice of ‘politics for personal gain’ promotes enslaving ideologies like socialism, communism and Marxism. As a result, each generation is less and less literate in the history and principles of liberty.

Often, we’re encouraged to ‘confront the issues’ and ‘engage in political activism’. This pathway, however, becomes a fruitless and futile pursuit because only the knowledge and practice of Christian principles will solve the myriad of problems we face in our nation.

What are these ‘principles’?

The Biblical ideals and concepts embedded in our US Constitution form the bedrock character of our nation.  Join us at FACE campus or online as we learn and study these principles together, and discover how to put them into practice as the way to protect “our God-given right to think for ourselves.”

Saturday, September 19, 2020, we celebrate Constitution Day and learn the Principles of Liberty fixed in our US Constitution. Learn more about this one-day Constitutional seminar taught by Gary Porter.  Learn More.

Additionally, join FACE for our 2020-2021 Lessons In Liberty Series, “Pathway to Biblical Liberty” beginning Monday, September 14, 2020. Learn More.

Or, learn about our Principled Study Groups forming across the nation and how you can join or host a group. Learn More.

Teach the Children:

  1. History reveals that Christian political principles are timeless for any age to protect us from tyranny.
  2. Man, exercising his God-given faculties is naturally self-governing. 
  3. We need to (re)learn these Biblical political principles embedded in our US Constitution to restore the greatness of our nation.
  4. These timeless principles are designed to liberate, enlarge and promote liberty.

Adapted from The Bible and the Constitution of the United States of America, Hall, Verna M and Slater, Rosalie J., Foundation for American Christian Education, 2012, pp. 8-9.
