America’s Declining Biblical Worldview

Posted on April 10, 2023 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

I've often heard the term "worldview" compared to a pair of glasses—your worldview is the lens that sits right in front of your spiritual eyes and affects the way you see everything.

The fertility rate also hit a record low of 1.7 births per woman, which means, as a nation, we’re not even on track to replace our current population.

Our Christian Duty

Posted on October 27, 2016 by David E Smith

In less than two weeks, Americans will know which candidates will direct the course of our state and nation for the next two to four years. Unfortunately, too many Christians do not understand exactly what is at stake. With each passing election cycle, we ought to be ever more concerned with the vital issues of essential liberty, morality, and ethics. Right now, due to the steady erosion of long-held liberties, coupled with the rise of bigger, more tyrannical government and a blatant disregard of corruption in leadership in all areas of government, our Christian values and way of life are …
