Having just finished reading through my new issue of The Christian Statesman [Nov.-Dec. 2001] for the first time, I rate it as superb, especially since it has articles by two of my heroes: brothers Howard Phillips and Peter Hammond....

I'm a student of International Political Economy at the University of Calgary in Canada. I find your website very informative and especially like your viewpoints on many topics. One problem I have struggled with in my academic pursuits is finding credible sources to back various arguments I put forth. I am glad to find a website that has reliable authors that I can use as sources.

The NRA website is the meatiest (and if we deserved good leaders might be the mightiest) site that God has seen fit to send my way.

I have not even completed reading Andrew Sandlin's article on the Christian's civic responsibilities [on voting]--but must tell you what a fantastic publication I think The Christian Statesman is! I linked in from the Chalcedon Report and have found exactly what I was looking for --my husband and I are passionate about politics. As young Christians--and parents--we are just looking for sound scriptural, Reformed advice on how to act and respond as mature Christians in the political and civic arena(s). Thank you, thank you!

I am absolutely flabber-ghasted! How can anyone think that our government, our people, and our very lives will be dictated by one single religion? This is purely insane--and someone is in need of a darned good psychiatrist! I had heard of people speaking about the "Christian Taliban," and surely the National Reform Association is just that--another extremist group, and one that is extremist in it's psychotic beliefs! I will tell you this: as a voter of this country of mine, you and your "kind" will never "rule" the United States!

Editor Responds: Dear Flabber-ghasted, please avail yourself of a Bible and read it. Therein you shall find how it can be that "anyone" can "think that our government, our people, and our very lives will be dictated by one single religion." Scripture explicitly teaches that there is only one true God and only one true religion, that God is sovereign over all the earth, and that He has already enthroned His Son as King of the nations. To think otherwise is to desire that our lives and our nation will be dictated by contradictions and falsehoods, and is to invite the wrath of God upon us.

Furthermore, the NRA is not psychotic, is not in need of a good psychiatrist, and is not a "Christian Taliban." We are simply followers of Jesus Christ our Lord, who stand on the principles of Christian civil government that are articulated by Him in the Bible. If followed, those principles will enable America to be truly "one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all."
