“When Jesus was asked, “Teacher, which is The Great Commandment in the law?”. Jesus said to him,“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. The second is like it. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets”
Matthew 22:34-40

Christian-Family Issues For All Christians

Should Christians be involved in politics? Absolutely! But in a manner consistent with Paul’s teachings in Philippians (see“Unity through Humility” Philippians 2:1). Not to divide, but to act in a “Righteous Manner as Salt and Light in a United Body of Christ”. There are Christian political groups which represent large numbers of Churches, but get active in issues that “Divide Us as a Body” or “Reflect Excessive International Influence in National Politics” or “Fail To Respect Authority of Our Government to Create and Administer Laws”. Most of the surveys I’ve seen continue to indicate that Christians and their Churches get too involved in politics. The reason for this is that they get active in too many issues, or that their” World-View” doesn’t represent the true interests of our nation. This is why we need to limit the number of issues to keep us together as one body as we "Represent Biblical Teachings and Primarily Work To:"
"Preserve Religious Freedom and Christian Morality"

Consider The Following Christian Platform

1. Only a Moral People Are Able To Govern Themselves.

"If our citizenry can’t properly conduct themselves and treat others the way we want to be treated, then how is anyone to be free. This was a concept fully agreed upon by our Nation’s Founders regardless of their religious beliefs. This “Moral Code” as brought to America in the Christian Bibles of our earliest colonists, needs to be followed or society will require a police state to keep us safe from one another."

2. Protect GOD's Precious Gift of Life...Unborn Children

"Protecting the lives of our children must be a priority for all of us. Many of our fellow citizens would rather save walruses, or birds but think nothing of mercilessly killing their children under the label, “It’s A Woman’s Choice”. The truth is, GOD almighty has given the job of Child-birth to women which is a fact none of us can change. It’s “A Precious Gift From GOD” and must be preserved. If prospective mothers and fathers can see the actual medical procedure utilized to “Mercilessly and Ruthlessly Murder Unborns”, they would never do it. “Freedom Allows Choices but Those Choices Need" to be The Right Ones If America is To Remain Morally Strong and Free. Please consider learning the“The Truth About Abortion” and think of the millions of childless couples who would love to adopt a child. “Pass GOD’s Gift of Love” to another couple, many who would give anything for a child."

3. Society Must Preserve Natural and Traditional Relationships.

"The Bible Approves of no other and neither does nature! “Only One Man and One Woman” were designed to come together to make a new life. This is why “Man and Woman have Complementary Anatomical Structures” that allow reproduction which is necessary to continue the human species. GOD intended Sexual Relations to be shared within the the loving and secure bonds of marriage so don’t be deceived by those teaching otherwise especially in our public schools."

4. Preserve Religious Freedom Via State & National Constitutions.

“That to secure these rights, Governments are Instituted Among Men, Deriving Their Just Powers from the Consent of the Governed”.
Inspirational words found in America’s Declaration of Independence defining the true intention of our nation’s Founding Documents, namely, “To Secure Our God-Given-Rights”. .There is no other way to secure these Rights other than by using our National and State Constitutions and the “Horizontal ( Branches of Government), and Vertical (Levels of Government), Distribution Of Power” that they create. Their provisions must be enforced if our people are ever to remain free."
“An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425, 426 (1886). That’s a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court.

5. America Has a Christian Culture Based On Biblical Principles.

The question of America's Christian Culture is best left to examining our nation's institutions, rather than our people. A person's faith changes dramatically over their lives especially in response to events. For example, Thomas Jefferson's faith seems to have wavered over time, but we should remember his wife died at the age of 33 and he buried 3 young daughters and one infant son. This would have challenged the faith of any man today or then.

Justice David Brewer sums up the question nicely:

“In no charter or Constitution is there anything to even suggest that any other than the Christian is the religion of his country”……I could show you how largely our Laws and Customs are based upon “The Laws of Moses and the Teachings of Christ”; How constantly the bible is appealed to as the guide of life and the authority in questions of morals…….On every hilltop towers the steeple of some Christian Church….I could go on indefinitely, pointing out further illustrations both official and non-official, public and private; such as Thanksgiving proclamations, with their following days of worship and feasting; announcements of days and fasting and prayer; the universal celebration of Christmas; the gathering of millions of our children in Sunday Schools, and the countless volumes of Christian literature."

                                         A Christian Nation!
                 Justice David Brewer of the 1892 Supreme Court case.
                         Church of Holy Trinity V. United States

American Christians need to be brought together under a common platform…one that reflects our world-view and all of us can get behind. Don't think for a moment these are the only issues Christians should be involved in. Activism in a variety of other issues should be encouraged, but outside our Christian Institutions. Let's stick to a "Short List", One that supports Morality, Religious Freedom and The Rule of Law”

“Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the LORD your GOD is giving you, and they should judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your GOD is giving you.”
Deuteronomy 16:18

“Inscribed above the entrance to the City hall in Cambridge, MA.

“GOD HAS GIVEN COMMANDMENTS UNTO MEN. FROM THESE
COMMANDMENTS, MEN HAVE FRAMED LAWS BY WHICH TO BE GOVERNED.
IT IS HONORABLE AND PRAISEWORTHY TO SERVE THE
PEOPLE BY ADMINISTERING THESE LAWS FAITHFULLY.
IF THE LAWS ARE NOT ENFORCED, THE PEOPLE ARE NOT WELL GOVERNED.”

"I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe . . . Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.”
Daniel Webster
