God designed us for liberty. The Bible teaches that, “we are called to liberty” (Galatians 5:13). What are the Biblical principles essential for liberty in a nation? Individuality, limited government, Christian self-government, Christian character, private property, local self government and union- these principles were once commonly understood and applied in American culture. This session reveals how the only hope for us as individuals and our institutions is to once again embrace God’s truth in the totality of our lives.

Every day issues and opinions come at us rapidly, persistently, and authoritatively. The typical current ‘issue’ spawns opinions by the dozen, but why is my opinion any better than your, or yours than mine?

This principle concerns the-all important question, "How should man be best controlled?" The Bible puts it this way: will we control ourselves or will we demand to be controlled by others (parents, employers, spouses, teachers, or civil government)? This is an issue that affects all of us daily, in numerous and profound ways. Ultimately, liberty exists in proportion to Christian self-government.

Sadly we are witnessing the death of our republican form of government. This is primarily due to a loss of our national character. A people cannot remain free under a republican form of government unless they remain virtuous and morally upright.

Life and Liberty are secure only as the right of private ownership of property is strictly protected. Both internal (conscience) and external (land, houses, etc.) property must be protected from the continual assaults upon them. The primary function of civil government is the protection of property (both internal and external).

Christianity produces civil or political union in a
different way than the world does. It produces union based upon spiritual
unity. Congregational clergyman Leonard Bacon observed that the early churches
"became a community united, not by external bonds, but by the vital force
of distinctive ideas and principles." The unity of believers eventually
works its way from the individual sphere to the family, church and civil
spheres.

The family is the first level of local self-government. It is at this level that God has designed most of the functions of life to take place: material provision, nurture and raising of children, including their education, medical needs, and spiritual development. It is God's plan and purpose that these essentials of life are taken care of at the most basic level of government, the family, rather than at a more centralized level of government, whether it is the city or county, the state, or the federal government.

Noah Webster correctly observed, "Almost all the civil liberty now
enjoyed in the world owes its origin to the principles of the Christian
religion...The religion which has introduced civil liberty, is the religion of
Christ and his apostles." Governmental forms are not equal; the freest
form of government is one that is Biblical, embodying these aspects: a written
constitution, separation of powers, fixed equally applied laws, protection of
equal rights, systems of checks and balances, maximization of individual
liberties particularly freedom of religion and liberty of conscience.
