Terry Schilling Defines the Biggest Danger Facing American Culture
In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the James Dobson Family Institute, Bauer asks Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, about the many dangers facing America. "In today's society, we are our own gods. We have our own truths. We are our own ultimate authority," says Schilling. Not only is this self-absorbed narcissism infecting the culture at large, it has wormed its way into America's churches, added Schilling. So, what is the antidote for this disturbing trend? Bauer and Schilling say American Christians must get back to basics—worship of God instead of self. We must recognize the importance of nurturing one's family and the critical role families play in contributing to a healthy society. Although this used to be self-evident, Americans would be well-served if we returned to the concept of Christian citizenship: God, family, country, in that order.
