Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, recently held a well-attended briefing at the US Capitol. He highlighted the need — and responsibility — for Christians to engage the culture<\/a> [emphasis added]: <\/p>\n

“We have a Great Commission that demands we both make disciples and observe all that our Lord has commanded us — including the need to work for justice and righteousness, and be a voice of conviction and kindness as we seek to persuade<\/strong> an increasingly secular society.”<\/p>\n

“As Christians, we recognize that religious liberty is not a grant from any government bureaucrat but is a gift from God<\/strong>,” he said, “and it’s important for elected officials to know that religious liberty is an issue that Southern Baptists will never back down on.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are some who believe that religion should be confined to the home or the four walls of the church. Fortunately, that is not what the founding fathers envisioned — though it is what some people would like to enforce.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are organizations, Christian leaders, and US government officials working together to prevent that from happening.<\/p>\n
