Newt Gingrich harnesses evangelicals and Vatican-aligned Catholics for the good of America’s values, per US NEWS.
The
former House speaker told media that he believes that hatred against
Christians in particular has increased so that these biblical believers
note this as their moment of truth.
This is the time for
moralists to come to the fore for the good of this Christian-heritage
nation. Therefore, Gingrich is doing all he can to up the believers’
voice in public forums.
“’In the last few years I've decided that we're in a crisis in which the secular state, if allowed, will fundamentally and radically change America against the wishes of most Americans,’ Gingrich said.
“’You've had such rising hostility to religious belief that I wanted to reach broadly into the country
and dramatically raise public awareness of threats to religious liberty.’”
His
thrust is called Renewing American Leadership. It’s got some of the
most astute biblically based thinkers working alongside Gingrich. It is
a professional cadre about to bring together those of like conviction
at the grassroots.
“This spring, Gingrich will speak to a
handful of large gatherings for politically conservative clergy that
have been organized by David Barton, an influential evangelical
activist who spearheaded the Republican National Committee's rigorous outreach to pastors in 2004.”
American
believers know that their nation is in trouble largely due to B. H.
Obama’s Marxist Muslim base. He has gathered around him low-lifes with
whom he associated in Illinois. He has championed death to womb babies,
death to Christian ethics, death to America’s Christian heritage, death to the biblical definition of sex, family and
marriage and more.
Therefore, if biblical values are to be The American Way, leaders such as Gingrich are going to bring it about under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
God
has much at stake in America. Our original settlers were Bible-aligned.
They preached and taught Bible. They held to scriptural lifestyles.
They prayed to the Bible’s God.
Today their spiritual children continue to intercede before heaven’s throne.
Gingrich will gather about him these believers with a new force for good.
“A 2002 court decision that found the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance
in public schools unconstitutional shifted Gingrich's attention more
seriously to the debate over religion in the public square.
“The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that the pledge's ‘under God’ violated the First Amendment's ban on government-established religion.
“’That
was the last straw,’ Gingrich said. ‘And I said, “It's time to challenge head-on secular domination in the West.”’”
“The crusade led Gingrich to publish Rediscovering God in America in 2006.
“Since
then, Gingrich has appeared before large gatherings of pastors, joining
a circuit that had been the province of politicians like Huckabee, an ordained Baptist preacher.
“’The
response was overwhelmingly positive,’ says Tyler. ‘We realized there
was a large segment out there that we were not reaching because a lot
of Christians are just tuned out of the secular media.’”
