These Again Are Times That Try Men’s Souls

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.

Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

We Must Fight to Keep Liberty

Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

D.H. Lawrence

Sex MUST Go With Marriage

Christian young people often ask me how far they can go, not even realizing that once you are on that road, it can only lead to harm. This is not because sex is bad but because it is so powerful and can easily destroy what is so good. When you try to possess this enjoyment in a relationship outside of marriage, it will bring destruction.... 

If you find yourself even thinking in the direction of sex, you had better ask yourself why you are not thinking about marriage. If you are thinking about marriage, it should be with serious-mindedness and the intention of establishing a Christian home.

Public Schools Kill Our Culture

You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Marriage is Better Than Cohabiting

Compared to their married peers, cohabiters consistently have lower rates of well-being than married people. Why? Because cohabiting relationships are ambiguous. Usually each partner has a different understanding of the nature and future of the relationship. In marriage the couple is clear about the claim they have on each other. Husbands are more likely to come home after work and not stay out all night with the guys than boyfriends are. Wives and husbands are not as likely to flirt with others outside the relationship. Marriage helps them know who they belong to emotionally and sexually.

Marriage is for Culture, Not Individuals

Marriage doesn’t serve individuals’ or couples’ needs for equality and justice before the law. It serves the cultural need for social norms for how we channel sexual energy in socially beneficial ways. Marriage is the way we socialize men, protect women from the exploitation of unattached males and ensure every child grows up with a mother and a father. This is driven by nature, and it is why we find it in every know society and the major world religions.

How To Destroy People

 

Homosexuality is NOT Analogous with Race

No academic institution in the world nor any U.S. court has ever established that homosexuality is given at birth and is a permanent feature of an individual like race, nationality and gender are. There are no former Blacks, Whites, Hispanics or Asian folks. But there are hundreds of people documented who have happily and successfully left homosexuality. Homosexuality and race are clearly two different things and therefore should not be treated as similar.

Restricting Critical Examination?

The instant that any person or ideology is considered off-limits for critical examination and even ridicule, freedom of speech has been replaced by an ideological straitjacket.

What Television Does

TV makes people physically lazy, intellectually uncritical, emotionally insensitive, psychologically confused, and morally disordered.

Psychology is the Antithesis of Christianity

Why is psychology taught in seminaries and Bible colleges? Because the modern church has abandoned the Scriptures as the final authority for faith and life. How ironic that even secular critics of psychology are being ignored by seminaries even though “there is a growing band of psychologists and psychiatrists warning the churches that they have bought tainted goods, and urging them to reappropriate a peculiarly Biblical wisdom about mental and spiritual health.”

Rather than heeding the warnings about psychological infiltration, seminary leaders react with defensive hostility. They have not only allowed the camel’s nose to sneak under the tent, but they have welcomed the entire double-humped beast into their dwelling with open arms and a warm kiss.

People ARE Responsible For Their Actions

But choices are mental and spiritual matters. The unproven psychological theories of unconscious drives over which a person has no control are simply mechanisms for excusing irresponsible, immature, and undisciplined behavior and thinking.
