Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.
We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:
the sanctity of human life
the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
the rights of conscience and religious liberty.
Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. http://manhattendeclaration.org

“JESUS
CHRIST is the SAME...yesterday, today, and forever!” Heb. 13:8
"In a Democracy there is no right not to be offended. Anyone ought to be free to say whatever they like. If someone says things that are offensive, gratuitous and stupid, one has to assume there will be others able to demonstrate that what someone said was offensive, gratuitous and stupid." --Sabina Guzzanti
IN JESUS, WE HAVE OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE: Ephesians 1:11
When Jesus gave Himself for us, He gave us all the rights and
privileges which went with Himself; so that now, although as eternal
God, He has essential rights to which no creature may venture to
pretend, yet as Jesus, the Mediator, the federal Head of the covenant
of grace, He has no heritage apart from us. All the glorious
consequences of His obedience unto death are the joint riches of all
who are in Him, and on whose behalf He accomplished the divine will.
See, He enters into glory, but not for Him alone, for it is written,
Whither the Forerunner is for us entered. Hebrew 6:20. Does He stand in
the presence of God? He appears in the presence of God for us. Hebrew
9:24. Consider this, believer. You have no to heaven by yourself: your
right lies in Christ. If you are pardoned, it is through His blood; if
you are justified, it is through his righteousness; if you are
sanctified, it is because He is made of God unto you sanctification; if
you shall be kept from falling, it will be because you are preserved in
Christ Jesus; and if you are perfected at the last, it will be because
you are complete in Him.
Thus Jesus is magnified for all is in Him and by Him; thus the
inheritance is made certain to us for it is obtained in Him; thus each
blessing is the sweeter and even heaven itself the brighter, because it
is Jesus our Beloved in whom we have obtained all. Where is the man who
shall estimate our divine portion? Weigh the riches of Christ in
scales, and His treasure in balances, and then think to count the
treasures which belong to the saints. Reach the bottom of Christ's sea
of joy, and then hope to understand the bliss which God hath prepared
for them that love Him.

TRUST IN THE LORD FOREVER, FOR HE IS THE LORD GOD OF YOUR STRENGTH: Isaiah 26:4
Seeing that we have such a God to trust to, let us rest upon Him with all our weight; let us resolutely drive out all unbelief, and Endeavor to get rid of doubts and fears, which so much mar our comfort; since there is no excuse for fear where God is the foundation of our trust. A loving parent would be sorely grieved if his child could not trust him; and how ungenerous, how unkind is our conduct when we put so little confidence in our heavenly Father who has never failed us, and who never will.
It were well if doubting were banished from the household of God; but it is to be feared that old Unbelief is as nimble nowadays as when the psalmist asked, "Is His mercy clean gone forever? Will He be favorable no more?" David had not made any very lengthy trial of the mighty sword of the giant Goliath, and yet he said, "There is none like it. He had tried it once in the hour of his youthful victory, and it had proved itself to be of the right metal, and therefore he praised it ever afterward; even so should we speak well of our God, there is none like unto Him in the heaven above or the earth beneath; "To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? said the Holy One. There is no rock like unto the rock of Jacob, our enemies themselves being judges.
So far from suffering doubts to live in our hearts, we will take the whole detestable crew, as Elijah did the prophets of Baal, and slay them over the brook; and for a stream to kill them at, we will select the sacred torrent which wells forth from our Savior’s wounded side. We have been in many trials, but we have never yet been cast where we could not find in our God all that we needed. Let us then be encouraged to trust in the Lord forever, assured that His everlasting strength will be, as it has been, our succor and stay.
