The Founders understood that Liberty requires self-governance. A media that cannot govern itself and irresponsibly publishes inaccurate and incomplete reports actually threatens the citizens’ right to a free press by inviting government intervention.
The irresponsibility of today’s Press, the media’s refusal to govern itself, is an existential threat to the Freedom of the Press, and indeed to Liberty in general.
Restoring Civic Virtue – Tiger, the President, and the Press. Tiger Woods gives us a lesson in civic virtue, which is largely lost on the press corps.
Restoring Civic Virtue – A Contemporary Perspective on Liberty, virtue, personal responsibility, and the civil society. The Bible teaches us that public virtue is more likely when the citizenry is informed by a Biblical worldview.
What is going on in our country? Our culture is coarsening before our eyes. Only the most cloistered can fail to notice the increasing incivility in the discourse in our country. These events should not surprise believers who hold to a Biblical worldview, but how do we respond?
My Dad had that hope in God, and in turn, so do we who live on. All of us in our family miss Dad greatly. We grieve, but not as those who are without hope.
The Biblical Worldview is based on Creation, The Fall, and Redemption. In this post we use pictures to illustrate the Creation story from the Bible.
If we believe that God created the earth and that it was good, and that The Fall has corrupted the world, leading to the evil that is evident around us, then we are justified in asking “What is God doing about this?” That is where Redemption comes in. But it is not just those other guys that need God’s redemption, it is you and it is me – every one of us has sinned and needs redemption.
Christians have surrendered the platform of the civil society to those who do not esteem the values and principles of the Bible, upon which our nation was founded. It is inevitable that our society will continue to move steadily away from those values, declining in civic virtue, unless Christians once again embrace this platform.
The developing scandal that began in Hollywood with Harvey Weinstein and is now rippling through the institutions of the Left, provides a vivid reminder of what happens when a society abandons Biblical standards of righteousness and goes its own way. It does not end well.
