Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience

Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience

Dear Friends,

I received the message below from a godly man and good friend of mine and of Family Talk, Mr. Chuck Colson, regarding an urgent matter of religious liberty that I believe deserves the attention and participation of all Christians. I will be addressing this issue on my radio program very soon, but I ask today that you take a few minutes to read the Manhattan Declaration, and consider standing with us by signing this critical petition that is important to both the Church and our nation.

The Manhattan Declaration is a statement of principles, not a political action plan. The Declaration's aim is to alert secular leaders and other influences of our culture that Christians of many different traditions are already united in fundamental convictions regarding biblical morality and conscience.

You may read the Manhattan Declaration here, and follow by signing the petition simply by clicking here.

In Christ and unity,

James C. Dobson, Ph.D.
President and Founder

En una amistad que honra a Dios, dos personas se edifican mutuamente y se animan una a otra a tener un carácter como el de Cristo. Sin embargo, muchas no logran entablar y mantener relaciones que estimulen su fe (Pr 27.17). Lo que hacen es hablar trivialidades propias de simples conocidos: el clima y los asuntos mundiales. Lamentablemente, también los creyentes rehúyen la conversación profunda en cuanto al pecado, la conducta transparente y la vida de acuerdo con los parámetros bíblicos, que servirían para enriquecer ...

The Danger in Being a Christian: It began as a Jewish sect; fierce persecution only helped it spread

Acts 8 Acts 8:1 On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. In some countries, a person who becomes a Christian forfeits a good education and job. And in a few countries, a person who converts risks his or her life. One church historian estimates that more Christians were martyred in the twentieth century than in all preceding centuries put together. Yet, strangely, more often than not, intense persecution of Christians leads to a spurt of growth in the church. An ancient saying expresses this phenomenon: “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” The First Big Advance For a while, the new faith enjoyed popular favor. But very soon it involved grave risk. In the book of Acts, the persecution that produced the first Christian martyr, Stephen, ironically brought about the advance of Christianity outside its Jewish base. Forced out of stormy Jerusalem, the scatterin...
