Standing Up in a Sit-Down World
Recently, I had the privilege of teaching Sunday School at my home church on the topic of “Standing Up in a Sit-Down World,” using my Tea Party service as a model to discuss what the Bible says about human government in a fallen world. This topic gets little attention in our houses of worship, but [...]
Discussing Government, Not Politics, in the Church
In my new book, Saving America: A Christian Perspective of the Tea Party Movement, I examine what the Bible says about earthly human government and specifically the dangers of consolidated power. Does this sound like a topic normally discussed at church? If you answered, “No.”, my next question is simple. Why not? With over 2,500 [...]

In my last post, I explained how the life of Julia illustrates that America has been increasingly looking to government to care for and rule us instead of to God. This transition has been gradual and gone unnoticed by many decent people, but it is undeniable that our government has to a large degree usurped [...]
The Life of Julia Demands a Question: Whom Will We Choose?
Earlier this week, President Obama introduced us to Julia—a fictional character whose entire life is subsidized by the Federal Government (i.e., your tax money). Her website shows all the government benefits she would receive under President Obama from birth through retirement and compares them to what she would receive (or wouldn’t) under that eeeeevil Mitt [...]
