Synopsis
"Truth . . . or persuasive deception?"
Judges should use their power to interpret laws to help the underdogs in society. Each person has the right to make decisions about life, death, and relationships without outside interference. Religion should remain in the church and the private lives of individuals. Government should play a greater role in granting unrestricted freedoms. Our personal problems stem from others who are exploiting us for their own ends. These five statements may seem appealing at first glance. However, the only truth about them is that they are manipulative tactics employed to undermine the biblical traditions on which the United States was founded. The Judeo-Christian values of the Founding Fathers were the basis for creating a government that upholds personal liberties and protects the foundational institutions of life, marriage, and family. Those values are being challenged in ever-increasing ways by liberal groups promoting self-serving goals. All Christians are called to an active defense of Gods standards.
In "Lies That Go Unchallenged in Media and Government," Charles Colson explains the myths that oppose the heartbeat of Christianity and diminish the welfare of our countrys future generations. Ideal for individual or group study, the format follows real-case scenarios with helpful features called Truths to Consider, Personal Transformation, Renewing the Church, and Influencing Culture, to assist readers in making a difference.
Dont settle for the lies. Change begins with each one of us.
