Below there are five ways Christians can make a difference for Christ and stay engaged in ways that can preserve our religious liberty.

By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, July 2, 2018
America Must Be a Nation of Prayer
There are ongoing efforts today to remove every semblance of God from our society. Ironically, those who are pushing these efforts from a platform of “tolerance” are increasingly intolerant of Judeo-Christian values and beliefs.

How God Is Using the Capitol Connection in Washington D.C.
The miraculous history of the United States of America is due in part to the sacred fire of the American pulpit. It has been the preachers who have unashamedly preached the whole counsel of God’s Word.

By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, July 3, 2017
One of my favorite of the American founding fathers is Patrick Henry. I remember visiting his estate at Red Hill several years ago in Eastern Virginia. In the museum, was a copy of his last will and testament.

3 Guidelines that Shape My Choices
Often when voting, we look for “the lesser of two evils.” Perhaps a better way to say it is that we should look for which candidate is more likely to support vital issues as related to the teachings of Scripture and is most likely to preserve religious liberty for those who desire to propagate Scriptural truth.

By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, July 4, 2016
Use Your Freedom to Tell Others of Christ
Two hundred thirty-seven years ago, our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence—a document that shaped the future of the American colonies, setting their destiny as a mighty nation. By signing this document, courageous men boldly stated the value they placed on freedom. And they proved it with their lives and fortunes in the ensuing war for independence.

Two Key Issues Where Your Voice Can Make a Difference
Besides the looming presidential election, there are two key issues presently facing our country—both of which are issues in which you can make a difference.

What to Remember on Memorial Day

Profile picture for user Dr. Paul Chappell
By Dr. Paul Chappell, Monday, May 25, 2015
Thanking God for Freedom and Praying for Revival
I’ll just come right out and say it: I believe America is the greatest nation on earth. I know, I know. In today’s globalist times, nationalism isn’t always revered as a virtue. But there is not an unpatriotic bone in my body, and I unashamedly practice patriotism and believe it should be taught to a younger generation.

We Are under God
Pro Aris et Focis—it’s the motto of many military regiments and an oft-adopted motto for military families. It’s a Latin phrase meaning “For God and Country.” The English translation is the motto for the American Legion.

Remembering Those Who Paid the Ultimate Price
I’m thankful for Memorial Day. First, I’m thankful for the unspeakably precious sacrifices men and women have made for our freedom. Second, I’m thankful that we have set aside a day to honor and commemorate these sacrifices. We so easily forget what is truly important in life—especially that which others have given us.
