The American experiment in "ordered liberty" under God is facing multiple serious challenges. Our founders built our country on biblical truths, including the idea that only a virtuous people can remain free.
We celebrate the fact that the pro-life movement is winning legislative and legal victories in state after state. But, sadly, under cover of darkness, cowardly pro-abortion arsonists and vandals continue to attack crisis pregnancy centers and desecrate pro-life churches.
The pro-life movement is still trying to figure out why a pro-life ballot initiative was defeated in Kansas a few weeks ago. In the meantime, pro-life victories are taking place in multiple states now that the Supreme Court made it clear there is no national "right" to abortion in the U.S. Constitution.
In 1956, Congress voted unanimously to make "In God We Trust" our national motto. Sadly, over the years since then, God has been kicked out of our classrooms with predictable results. But maybe the tide is turning. Texas children are likely to see the motto in their schools this year. A law passed in 2021 by the Texas legislature, supported and signed by Governor Greg Abbott, is the reason.
Are you worried that your children and grandchildren may not grow up in a free country? Millions of Americans are concerned, including countless immigrants who fled tyranny and came here seeking freedom.
Psalm 82:4 calls us to “rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and Gary Bauer, JDFI’s new Director of Public Policy, continue celebrating the reversal of Roe v. Wade, and discuss what the future holds for the United States. In God’s providence, with the overturning of Roe on June 24th, 2022, Dr. Dobson and Bauer note that it’s essential that Christians rescue the unborn babies in their state by funding crisis pregnancy centers. They also underscore how important it is for believers to continue to vote for candidates who will protect the preborn.
In the days leading up to the Revolutionary War, Christian pastors often led the cry for liberty. They were in fact the boldest and most respected men in their communities. When the fighting broke out, many of these clergymen led the men of their congregations into battle. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson and his guest, Dan Fisher, author of Bringing Back the Black Robed Regiment, continue their discussion about the need for spiritual revival. Fisher highlights various stories of America’s 18th century pastors, including Jonas Clarke and Thomas Allen, who boldly preached of the right to resist tyrannical rule.
When two Oregon teachers were fired for objecting to being forced to use incorrect pronouns when addressing gender-confused students, they contacted the Pacific Justice Institute. Thanks to their pro bono lawsuit, their positions were reinstated. On today's edition of Family Talk, Brad Dacus (DAY-kus), president of this Christian legal defense organization, highlights similar cases they have taken on behalf of religious liberty. Wherever modern-day "Davids" are standing tall in the face of giants, Pacific Justice Institute unapologetically defends them,free of charge.
Despite the fact that the church and Christian values are in the crosshairs of an increasingly godless culture, there is still hope. On today's edition of Family Talk, Brad Dacus (DAY-kus), president of Pacific Justice Institute, reminds us that the previous administration's judicial appointments provide a balance of power. Specifically, the Supreme Court is demonstrably in favor of life, parental rights, and religious liberty. As a non-profit legal defense organization, Pacific Justice Institute has 20 offices in 16 states, and represents Christians free of charge whenever their God-given rights are infringed upon.
Despite the fact that the United States was founded upon Christian values and principles, in recent decades the secular culture has tried relentlessly to drive God out of public life. On today's edition of Family Talk, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich discusses his book, Rediscovering God in America. From the Latin inscription, "Praise be to God" atop the Washington Monument, to the engraving on the Lincoln Memorial referencing that we are "one nation under God," Gingrich reminds us of our nation's rich Christian heritage.
