A Free People’s Suicide by Os Guinness

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. – Benjamin Franklin

Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. I tis wholly inadequate to the government of any other.- John Adams

The foundation of our national policy, will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private morality. -George Washington

If men are so wicked as we now see them with religion, what would they be without it.- Benjamin Franklin

Preamble to the Declaration:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Secular rewriting by Yuval Noah Harrari,
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men evolved differently, that they are born with certain mutable characteristics, and that among these are life and the pursuit of pleasure.”

10-Year Vision:
Transform our community by being someone’s 1st Church, not simply their next Church. We seek to endanger addiction, loneliness, and the causes of divorce in our community. We will accomplish this by purposefully engaging the 104,100 people in our community who have no religious identification through personal relationships. We will position and equip ourselves to be someone’s first church, not simply their next church.

There are things that we live by that are essential to our culture, but are incompatible with a secular view of the world.

Our beliefs create our values, our values create our behaviors, our behaviors create our lives.

Every consistent behavior in your life can be traced back to a belief.

We can’t govern a nation of free people if we can’t govern ourselves.

We’re sitting on a sinkhole.
