Why is it so important that Christians speak out on the moral issues of our society? In an era when Christians are slowly but surely being pushed out of the public square, this is an important question. Perhaps Samuel Adams can give us some perspective:
“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.” As we celebrate our independence today, may we also recommit ourselves to promoting, defending, and upholding God’s laws and principles for holy living.
