 Compelling, Equipping and Sending Washington State Christians to be Salt and Light in their Homes, Churches, Neighborhoods, Schools, Jobs and the Public Square. Give me liberty… Have you ever heard someone say that Christians shouldn’t engage politics, or that politics don’t have a place in the Church? Our Founding Fathers sharply disagreed. In fact, they were determined to establish a government that secured our God-given rights, and thus appealed to their own loyalty to God’s Almighty power in their quest for freedom. Patrick Henry himself spoke to this: “Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings…We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it…Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Christians have a duty to fight for what is good and true. May God embolden you, Keith Adams-Director of Church Engagement P.S. Are you willing to join this fight? We will be calling Pastors/Believers to our state capitol to pray. Watch for this announcement!
