Human rights have become an alternative law code, replacing Christian jurisprudence and God’s law

The UN’s war on parents and Christian education
“Committees Gone Wild: How U.N. Bureaucrats are Turning ‘Human Rights’ Against the Family” is one of those unfortunate examples of a well-meaning person making arguments that undermine Christian influence in the public square. It was written by William L. Saunders Jr., and was published in “The Family in America: A Journal of Public Policy.” At the time that this article was published, Mr. Saunders was senior vice president for legal affairs of Americans United for Life. Previously, he had been a senior fellow at the Family Research Council. He is a graduate of Harvard Law School.
Canada is leaving God behind – what can you do about it?
The main point of Michael Wagner’s new book, Leaving God Behind, is that the Charter of Rights replaced Canada’s Christian past with a Humanist constitution and culture.
For some Christians, this isn’t that big a deal because they don’t believe that Canada was once a Christian nation. You should never let anyone get away with such a claim. Ask them what they mean.
Can you be bought off with only the freedom to worship?

Freedom of worship or freedom of religion? The wrong answer spells doom…
Maybe 6 Commandments is enough!?

Maybe 6 Commandments is enough!?
There’s another “10 Commandments” battle in the U.S. This time the judge made a very interesting comment, suggesting that those wanting to display the Commandments should just push to post the last six because they’re supposedly not religious in nature, whereas the first four are.
God’s law in brief: 1st John on grace, mercy and peace
ChristianGovernance Report – December 17, 2010
God’s law in brief
First John is full of treasure, even though it is a very short letter. Among other things, it gives us additional material in response to those non-Christians who claim to be advancing an agenda of love and those who tell Christians that we are forbidden from judging. Both of these issues loom large today in the realm of politics or civil governance.

The Power of Giving a Book
By Joel McDurmon
It all started with one book. When Bojidar’s missionary pastor left his Bulgarian town, all he left behind was a couple audio tapes and a copy of one book, Ken Gentry’s He Shall Have Dominion. Ken’s book is still, perhaps, the best one-stop exposition of the postmillennial, optimistic, dominion-oriented biblical worldview available. It has changed many lives, including Bojidar’s. After this, he wanted to hear more about optimism and biblical law.

Excellent new report exposing danger of human rights
The Canadian Centre for Policy Studies has just released Human Rights as a dangerous ideological abstraction. This report does not simply discuss some of the absurdities that have been advanced in the name of human rights, though it does that. Much more importantly, it exposes the incoherence of human rights theory and the incompatibility of human rights – as they seem to be understood and practiced – with the Judeo-Christian democratic tradition of Canada and the British Commonwealth.
