The purpose of the Christian Ethics & Issues Team is to represent Christian moral and ethical concerns throughout our county. These include, but are not limited to: sanctity of human life, race relations, alcohol and other drugs, religious freedom, Christian persecution, gambling, pornography, etc. The goal is to make Christians more aware of critical moral and social issues, to lead in Christian action, and to rally the churches to combat moral and social concerns.
CITIZENSHIP & RELIGIOUS LIBERTY SUNDAY
JUNE 28TH OR JULY 5TH
Location: local churches that choose to participate
The erosion of religious liberty and misapplication of the separation of church and state cause Southern Baptist to focus on religious liberty on the Sunday before July 4. Their emphasis also calls Christians to active involvement in the life and government of their community, state and nation.
Faith & Family Impact is a dynamic resource designed to provide individuals biblically grounded information and insight on the issue of Christian Citizenship and Religious Liberty. Each 4-page publication, sized for easy placement in most church bulletins, can be used as a stand-alone informational handout and includes specific prayer points, action steps and the plan of salvation.

The Sanctity of Human Life (Pro-Life) is a Biblical, Spiritual, Moral Issue, not the agenda of any particular political party or group. It is not a matter of liberal versus conservative. It is a matter of LIFE or DEATH! It is a cause around which all Christians (Democrat and Republican) can and should unite.

I Timothy 2:1-2 presents a clear guideline for how we should pray for our government officials, regardless of their political platform. "I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings, and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."
It is our Biblical and patriotic duty to pray for our leaders.
PRAY FOR OUR NATION
We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
President Abraham Lincoln, in National Proclamation of Prayer and Repentance, 1863
