It's often said that Christians should not to be involved in politics (political discourse) and religion. Nothing can be further from the truth. The United States would never have been founded had our forefathers thought that way. America is special because of God, His Holy Word, and those who have kept Christianity at the center of American culture, law, our values and morality.

Understanding how America came to be and where she is today in terms of straying from her biblically based foundation starts by understanding where we came from (in our inception) to where we are at today. In this module, we will look back in history to major, misguided U.S. Supreme Court cases, and other misguided landmark decisions and legislation that led America to our current state.
There are 4 Basic Purposes of any government.
In this module I am going to show you those four purposes of government and highlight the importance of the three branches of government designed to subdue evil, allow justice and protect its citizens. Let's get started.
THERE ARE MANY BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF GOD'S PEOPLE IN POLITICAL DISCOURSE. TODAY WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT EXAMPLES FROM BOTH THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENTS:
Some people deny that America's Founding Fathers were not Christian's or that they were not supportive or founded on biblical principles or even promoted them There are many examples of America's Founding Father's support in political discourse. We will look at many of them in this module.
As we wrap us this course we need to address some practical ways in which we can turn our world right side up again. Before we address how we might do this, I want to address one single question:
Ought we remove ourselves altogether from the dirty business of politics & government?
If we have no place in political discourse, then we have no complaint regarding those who rule us.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? That is what we are going to cover in this module.
As we wrap up this course, I want to thank you for taking the time to get EQUIPPED regarding the issue of the Christian Role In Christian Discourse. I want to encourage you to consider the steps outlined in the attached MS Word Doc. Now it's time to turn our world right side up again!
