Gary Bauer: ‘It’s Another Paul Revere Moment!’

In this week’s episode of Defending Faith, Family and Freedom, Gary Bauer shares the stories of three Christians who recently stood firmly in their faith and paid a heavy price both personally and professionally. Bauer says that these three exemplary individuals came to the same figurative crossroad, serve Caesar—or following the demands of Caesar—or serve Jesus Christ. Bauer warns that it is likely that one day, perhaps soon, many Christians will find themselves in a position at work, school, or even their place of worship, where they will face a choice to either cave to the authoritarian State or lift high the cross of Christ.

America the Beautiful, in a Season of Great Peril (Part 2)

In part two, Gary Bauer warns Christians that America is in a season of great peril. He insists that there are powerful forces inside and outside government that see people of faith, particularly Christians, as personae non gratae (persons not welcome). Bauer says these neo-Marxists understand that it is this group of believers who are blocking their plans to transform the United States into an authoritarian, Socialist state, and they want them silenced—by virtually any means necessary.
