Summary

What is the difference between conservative values and biblical values? And which of these sets of values is going to save America? Oftentimes in today’s world, the Christian community believes they are only of another world, and they don’t need to be involved in the evil that takes place on earth. Yet the Bible tells the family of faith that we must flood darkness with light, and be ambassadors of the Kingdom of heaven. Conservative politics alone cannot save the nation because freedom is dangerous for people who do not have a moral foundation. The Constitution was intended for a people with religious principle, and if human beings don’t have he power of the Holy Spirit, they will be influenced instead by their sinful nature. The restoration of our country isn’t just about the right political “recipe,” but about a transformation of the heart that will cause us to love God and love one another better.

0:45.0

We have liberalism, conservatism, and we have sort of Christian versions of both of those

0:50.3

things, unless they say that they are, mixtures of it. And the question is, what's going to save America?

0:56.7

Is it a set of political values, or is it the Christian faith and principles from God's

1:03.6

word that are somehow different than just those political value systems?

1:09.4

Exactly.

1:10.4

Well, the conservative movement, modern conservative movement

1:12.7

could be traced back to 1964, really, with that election for the presidency. But from there,

1:19.2

we see it develop on more of a secular base because the Christians were not voting. I remember

1:23.2

when I started my ministry in 76, only about 23% of the Christians were voting in elections.

1:28.3

The vast majority of Christians were staying home.

1:30.4

And so those that were fighting against socialism and communism that was coming at the time

1:34.6

were many times conservative, sometimes Christian, but many times not.

1:39.1

Just typical American kind of good old boys out there who didn't want to see it happen.

1:44.5

And so they were finding answers to...

1:45.7

At least they were doing something while many within the church were just staying in their
