If you take away God, you take away conscience, and thereby all measures and rules of good and evil. And how can any law be made when the measure and standard of them are removed? All good laws are founded upon the dictates of conscience and reason, upon common sentiments in human nature, which spring [...]

Our primary mission field today is within the church. The latest survey reveals that 86% of Americans say they believe in Jesus.
