In Their Own Words

Islam is a vicious evil. Islamofacism is evil incarnate.

Were up against a vicious attack by neoatheists . . . a virulent of [sic] strain of atheism that seeks to destroy our belief system.

A growing culture of radical secularism declares that the nation cannot profess the truths on which it was founded. We are told that our public schools can no longer invoke the creator, nor [sic] proclaim the natural law nor profess the God-given quality of human rights.

In hostility to American history, the radical secularists insist that religious belief is inherently divisive and that public debate can only proceed on secular terms.

Those aspects of evolutionary theory compatible with this truth [creationism] are a welcome addition to human knowledge. Aspects of these theories that undermine this truth, however, should be firmly rejected as an atheistic theology posing as science.

[People may say the story of creation is] preposterous, [but] if I believe anything about God, I believe that he’s in the miracle business.

We believe there is an antiChristian muzzle-the-pastor kind of feeling behind this kind of law [the Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007, which has passed the House]. I need to be able to preach that adultery, fornication, straying from the way of the Lord is wrong.

Prayer is good for the soul. It forces us to lean on the one who is greater than us. [Statement in bipartisan effort to urge every American to spend five minutes a week praying for the nation].

You choose belief in God and belief in evolutionary theory. If you write something like this, either you don’t understand evolution, or you don’t understand what it means to affirm that God created the earth, because there is nothing that is reconcilable between those two propositions.

And furthermore, if we’re not all literally the descendants of Adam and Eve, then there’s no explanation of how Adam’s sin was imputed to us. And without that you have no need for the imputation of Christ’s righteousness. You have no explanation of the cross. . . . God can’t be the redeemer if he wasn’t the creator.

We are in serious moral trouble because every type of lifestyle is now regarded as legitimate. People no longer see natural disasters as an act of God. However, we are now reaping what we have sown. If we live in a profligate way then there are going to be consequences.
