Through the Dobson Policy & Culture Center, we focus on issues related to righteousness in the culture, such as the sanctity of human life, the God-ordained institution of marriage, parental rights, freedom of religion, and other liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
February is the month when two of our greatest presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, were born. Both of these great men loved America and loved God. I suppose they would be called "Christian Nationalists" today—and it would not be meant as a compliment. Here are just two quotes of what they thought about God and America.
Our country's founding idea was really revolutionary in that it declared that our liberty comes from God, not government. Throughout our history, the story of America has been one of liberty being expanded to include more and more people in the promises of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
America's churches are increasingly targets of violence and desecration from radical LGBTQ fanatics. Sadly, elected officials, particularly on the left, have been silent or slow to condemn the disturbing and unacceptable trend.
The European Parliament has passed a resolution condemning the mass killing of Christians and the burning of churches in Nigeria. Better late than never. Much of Europe has said virtually nothing about the growing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, just as the Biden administration can't find its voice either.
Planned Parenthood recently released a video aimed at our kids called, "What is Virginity?" An apparent "teacher" begins, "Virginity. What is it, and what's the big deal about losing it? Let me cut to the chase. Virginity is a completely made-up concept. It's a term that was created simply to control and shame people—mainly women. Mmm."
A popular theme in the media is that devout Christians who love Jesus and love America are a danger to our "democracy." A new book by Tim Alberta, The Kingdom, The Power and the Glory, promotes the smear that evangelicals are engaged in political idolatry.
The American public and members of Congress were justifiably angry when major U.S. universities tolerated and, in some cases, promoted raw anti-Semitism after the Hamas massacre of Israelis on October 7. Likewise, there has been dismay that across the country, pro-Hamas and anti-Israel demonstrations have shut down airports, shopping malls, last Christmas' celebrations, and, at one point, caused an evacuation of staff at the White House.
In America, a nation built on religious liberty, should any of these things be required under our laws?
Once again, peaceful, pro-life activists are facing the possibility of a decade behind bars and crushing fines after being prosecuted by the Biden Justice Department.
The liberal educational establishment, from the teachers unions to federal government bureaucrats, continues to be "all in" on exposing our children to inappropriate graphic sexual materials. But they do "draw a line" when it comes to allowing kids at school to hear something good about Jesus.
