"A revolution of striking proportions now looms before us... [The pervading] reticence on
behalf of Christians is deeply troubling. Marriage is a sacrament designed by God that serves
as a metaphor for the relationship between Christ and His Church. Tampering with His plan
for the family is immoral and wrong. To violate the Lord's expressed will for humankind,
especially in regard to behavior that He has prohibited, is to court disaster."
--Dr. James Dobson

At a Christian Life Workshop years ago, Gregg Harris used the following verse
as a TV guide: (It should also be used for inappropriate internet sites!)
"I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:" Psalm 101:3. Also consider Job 31:1,
"I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?"

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
--quote attributed to Edmund Burke (1729 -1797)
Or for "good men" to do evil. Isaiah 59:2, "But your iniquities have separated between
you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
Isaiah 60:12, "For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea,
those nations shall be utterly wasted."

But Isaiah 54:13-17 says, "And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great
shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt
be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come
near thee... No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue
that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the
servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."

"The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but
never hit softly." -Theodore Roosevelt.

"Why should this president apologize for toppling a murderous dictator responsible for the
deaths of perhaps more than 1 million people and the rape and torture of unknown thousands
of others? Why should Bush admit mistakes when he didn't start the war? That dubious honor
goes to the likes of Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat, Osama bin Laden and terror-spawning
groups named al-Qa'ida, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine. Why should Bush take responsibility for an intelligence apparatus
that was dysfunctional when he inherited it less than seven months earlier and, by law, was
designed to continue misfunctioning until disaster struck?" --Cal Thomas

"Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of
the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil." Ecclesiastes 8:11

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." Psalm 14:1 and Psalm 53:1

The narcissistic generation has come full circle, from indulging children to abusing them;
from setting standards to removing all taboos. Nothing is wrong any longer, because nothing
is right. In such an environment, who is to say that anyone's behavior should be judged?
In the 1980s, some people rejected the notion of universal standards, asking, 'Who are you
to impose your morality on me?' The question became moot as the immoral have now
imposed their immorality on the rest of us." --Cal Thomas

"...The courts are the last hope for enacting the liberal agenda because liberals cannot get
enough votes to control Congress or most state legislatures. Unelected judges can cut the
voters out of the loop and decree liberal dogma as the law of the land. Liberals don't want
that stopped." --Thomas Sowell

TeenPact Leadership is about involvement in our civil government, learning the basics of
parliamentary procedure and debate, writing bills and seeing the process in action, etc. at
your State Capitol. Michael Farris, founder of HSLDA, has said, "I highly recommend
TeenPact to families who desire to see their kids make a difference in America."

"Not until I went into the Churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with
righteousness did I understand the greatness and the genius of America. America
is good. And if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
--Alexis de Tocqueville
Can that be said of your church and mine today? Psalm 11: 7 says, "For the
righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. "

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could say what the psalmist spoke in Psalms 40:10?
"I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy
salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation."

For information about important current issues, see Dr. James Kennedy's
site at http://www.reclaimamerica.org/.

James Madison himself said, "We have staked the future of all our political institutions
upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves,
to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

"Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye." Proverb 7:2

"And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and
serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. As the
nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not
be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God." Deuteronomy 8:19.20

" Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments:
for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13

"When surveys of the national media have shown that half of journalists are
religiously unaffiliated and 86 percent never attend church or synagogue, it's
not a surprise that they just don't get it." --Brent Bozell

An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows."
--Dwight D. Eisenhower

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant;
it's just that they know so much that isn't so." - President Ronald Reagan

Psalm 52:2, 3, "Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah."
Psalm 55:21, "The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his
heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords."
Isaiah 5:20, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light,
and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
"For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil,
and his lips that they speak no guile:" I Peter 3:10
Amos 5:15, "Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate..."
