Our country is facing dangers from the threat of terrorism. That threat is obvious to most people and is being fought vigorously by our government. Another threat, which is subtle but may be just as dangerous, is taking place from within the country. In the past fifty years, the United States has undergone cultural changes, which have led to a new definition of morality. The danger of this shift toward a secular morality is undermining the moral principles our founding fathers intended as a cornerstone to our Constitution and our laws. In recent years, the shift toward this new definition of...

Throughout its history, the United States has experienced some outstanding periods that are unparalleled by any other nation. Such times of greatness have been achieved when this country most closely adhered to the faith-based morality intended by our founding fathers. A faith-based morality requires a belief that all humans receive their freedoms and unalienable rights from a Supreme Creator. That belief led to the formation of this nation. Greatness is achieved when government does most to extend such freedoms and rights to its own citizens and to all peoples of the world. Since the...

The founding fathers of this country had a vision for the type of morality that would sustain our nation for many generations. The type of national morality they envisioned was evident in many of their writings. The first two sentences of the Declaration of Independence provided us with an insight into the morality they believed was appropriate to form a new nation. Such a morality would lead to the highest level of justice attainable in a country. Their view of morality and justice has been observed through most of this nation's history. However, there have been instances when their view of...

"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government." That observation was made by our third president, Thomas Jefferson. He also made the statement that "The course of history shows that as government grows, liberty decreases." This book chronicles the steady growth of our government since this nation was founded. It also notes the manner in which that growth has diminished the liberty of this nation's citizens. Each reader of this book and each citizen of this nation will decide for themselves the degree to which human...

It is not often that we think of the greater love that can be achieved from suffering and pain during our lives on earth. Rather, we are inclined to pray to our Lord to relieve the suffering and pain of those who are experiencing it and that is an appropriate way to express our love of our fellow human beings and indicate our desire that their pain be diminished. But suffering, pain and sacrifice can also be endured as a means to demonstrate a greater love of our Lord and of one another. We have no greater demonstration of that than the passion of our Lord who through his suffering and pain...

As Christians, we believe that our Lord is a loving, kind, and merciful God. Because of that belief, many Christians as well as non-Christians find it difficult to understand how a loving God can permit evil and sin in the world.
The role of sin in God's divine plan is a complex, mysterious, spiritual issue, which humans can only partially understand. The acceptance of the belief that God is perfect in love and sent his only son to suffer and die for our sins can give us small insights and understandings of the role of sin in his divine plan.
The purpose of this book is to...
