Tony Perkins | May 23, 2019 (Family Research Council) – The tuition at Yale University is nothing compared to what it’s costing students in another category: freedom. The third oldest college in America obviously doesn’t remember a lot from its roots, when a group of ministers founded the school to

An oath is a solemn promise about your behavior or your actions. Most of the time, when you take an oath, the promise invokes a divine being. For example, you might swear to God that something is true or swear on the Bible that something is true. By this act you are saying that God can and will hold you accountable if you do not fulfill your obligation.
Newsmax reported that Vice President Mike Pence, speaking at Liberty University’s commencement Saturday, warned that disparaging faith has become “acceptable and even fashionable” in America, and cautioned the newly minted graduates to “be ready.” Prepare for Persecution! Pence declared: “America needs men and women of faith and integrity now more than ever. We live in a time when it’s become acceptable and even fashionable to ridicule and discriminate against people of faith,” he added.
Pence and his wife Karen have received growing criticism in the media in recent months for their biblically based views. Including direct attacks by openly homosexual presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg from Indiana, who used to be his friend.
“The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World” is a poem by William Ross Wallace that praises motherhood as the preeminent force for change in the world. The poem was first published in 1865 under the title “What Rules the World”.
A college student was asked about the difference between a house and a home. The response was, “A civil engineer makes a house. Your mom makes it a home!”
The message of change is incessant these days, especially around election season. Have you ever noticed some repetitive clichés that fly around like, “the soul of our nation is at stake.” The politicians in each party tout change, but what kind of change is necessary, and what is this change based on? When they talk about the soul of the nation, it seems that soul has been corrupted and strayed very far from the foundational beliefs that this nation was built on. It is the citizenry that must be vigilant and wise in the political, social, economic, moral and cultural landscape so that it will never change for the worse, not when a society has a powerful foundation worth protecting.
Many of us have heard the biblical stories of Easter in some form or another in church or on television and we have celebrated it in some form down through the years. But what does it all really mean to each one of us? Do we then go about living our lives as if the resurrection of Jesus means nothing? The biggest mistake we can make is to just go about our normal lives not factoring in the dimension Jesus opened up for us and missing out on the impact of Christ on all of life. When that happens, we are not living but just merely existing.
After the fall of man into sin, God’s plan for redemption kicked into place immediately. God declared to the Serpent, I will send someone who will crush your head even though you will bruise his heel (Genesis 3:15). God’s deliverer, Christ, became the focus of God’s masterplan to redeem all that was lost through disobedience.
The public-school system is not working and will only get worse because it is not God’s way to educate children. Couple that with our cultural values that continue to deteriorate to immoral levels unheard of before in our country and what do we have? We have a messed-up country with serious detriment to future generations.
An undeniable fact of all humans is that we are sinners. “[A]s it is written: ‘None is righteous, no, not one’” (Romans 3:10). This is why everyone who wants to get rid of their sin must ask God’s forgiveness and turn from their wicked ways. The sooner we accept the fact that we are sinners and learn how to overcome it in our lives from the root cause, with God’s help, the better off we will be. Justifying our shortcomings and transgressions is the worst thing we can do to ourselves, because sin corrodes us from within. “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8)
The moral bankruptcy of America is catching up to her. There isn’t a week that goes by that we don’t see scandal after scandal of cheating, deception, lies, bribery, sexual immorality and depravity of all kinds of godlessness before our eyes. How long can we go on with all this immorality that has destroyed many civilizations of the past? Are we beyond the point of no return? Will we wear out God’s patience, kindness and mercy? Not if we repent and turn from our wicked ways. God tells us in his Word, “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
A treasured characteristic pillar of America has always been the First Amendment’s provision of freedom of speech. But more and more these days anyone who decides to speak the truth or be a voice of dissent, especially those on the right ideology and values is finding themselves in hot water with the liberal left, even to the point of being labeled a bigot and suffering serious consequences like losing their job or being suspended from school. They find themselves losing people who they regarded as friends leaving no doubt that freedom of speech is eroding. Those who can tug and pull the hardest are gaining control over our nation which is supposed to be a republic that guides itself by the rule of established law, which applies to all.
Who ever heard of allowing illegal immigrants to have the right to vote in a nation’s elections where they entered illegally? Well, The Washington Times reported that the Democrat House of Representatives voted on Friday, March 8, 2019, to give local governments the right, if they so choose, for illegal aliens to vote in their elections. What kind of a crazy bill is that, which erodes the American privileges that have come at such a high cost? With public servants like that who needs enemies, right?
