You can't hold that protest poster up because it has a picture on it (!?).

The Way, the Truth and the Sword

BOOK PROMO:

The Christian church has forged an unholy alliance with the state. In picking up the sword of government power, we have betrayed the Cross and have abandoned the clear teachings of Jesus. We have accepted Satan’s offer to rule the kingdoms of this world, and in the process, we have distorted the identity of the Kingdom of God. The bride of Christ is in bed with another husband.

Unfortunately, our grasp of the Christian worldview is shallow, and our ability to carry that worldview into the civic realm is confused at best. What exactly should the Christian’s role in the civic realm be? Should we abandon the religious right in favor of a moralistic left-wing crusade against poverty and global warming? Should we disengage altogether for the sake of the purity of the Kingdom of God?

The Way, the Truth, and the Sword offers readers an alternative to the left-right status quo. This alternative is historically grounded, non-partisan, patriotic, peaceable, and most importantly… faithful to Jesus’ teachings and Biblical Truth.

We believe that Jesus’ life, teachings, death, and resurrection ARE the essence of truth, goodness, and beauty.

But, being a Christian also means that we disavow many things that are called Christian.

We hope that everyone everywhere would be inspired to live a life of servitude and love, and follow this revolutionary message of Jesus, in spite of what has been done in His name. Together, we can bring more hope and love to a dark world.

Politically speaking, we believe that the best world is one where every group relinquishes the practice of using the force of government to impose its will upon others. Blessed are the peacemakers.

Personally, I may believe in helping the poor. Personally, I may believe in living a morally clean life. [And, we do believe that these ways of living are indeed absolutely, truly, the best possible way to live.] But, government is neither an effective nor an appropriate method for the advancement of my values. So we are neither socialists nor moral crusaders. The rigious right and the religious left both misrepresent Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Government is force, coercion—ultimately violence. It is unjust to forcibly take away somebody's property or liberty because I think I can make better choices for that person.

Government was the leading cause of unnatural death in the 20th century (upwards of 200 million killed by their own government) because of people who wanted to run other peoples' lives.

Government power, therefore, ought to be employed only to protect life, liberty, and property—punishing those who violate somebody else’s rights.

This is the philosophy of America’s founding—enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. These are the ideas, fueled by a love for humanity and for the oppressed, which form the backdrop for all of our news analysis and civic activism here at Civics News.

What we're About:

~~Protecting the inalienable human rights of every person: life, liberty, and property...

~~Restoring the U.S. Constitution, the rule of law, limited government, and federalism...

~~Pursuing justice and truth wherever they lead...

~~Disassociating Jesus from the evils done in His name...

~~Defending the oppressed and rebuking the oppressor...

~~Celebrating freedom, rather than power.

ALWAYS:

...motivated by love for all of humanity

...driven by hope for continued restoration and ultimate redemption

...strengthened by faith in something beyond ourselves

...refusing to bow to the gods of cynicism and self-centeredness
