when they appealed to scripture, they cannot comprehend scripture without referencing war. by that i mean that, as they read scripture, in many of them were very, very proficient in scripture, they saw there was a lot of war in the bible. there was a lot of conflict in the bible in various ways. outright wars. so will of biblical literate society need to there were wars in the bible. a couple of frameworks that they also took with them, one of them is republicanism. we talked about this already today. republicanism is this kind of respect for ancient republics as pivotal models for politics. taking those models -- we are in this great city of washington, d.c. when you look at the architecture, do you notice a neoclassical influence? it is subtle. but you can see it. , this republican ideology, the idea that without virtue, liberty dies. people, are like prone to corruption, especially when you have too much power. they found republican ideas throughout scripture. the old testament covenants. in the old testament, when a king comes forward, good ones and bad ones are easily

and he uses scripture to do that. specifically the old testament, one particularly samuel, chapter eight, that i want to talk about a bit. you may remember first venue, chapter eight, but the prophet samuel was getting a little old. people started to think about new leadership. and in so doing, they come to sonsl and say, "hey, your are not all that impressive. how about you give us a king so we can be like other nations." as an aside, if you read the hebrew bible, anytime people want to be like the other nations, that is not a good thing. so, he is wrestling with this, says, asks god and god "all right, give them a king, but in so doing, they are not just rejecting you, they are rejecting me, as they have done since i led them out of egypt." god gave them a king, not because it was a good thing to do, but because they wanted it and they demanded it. but in so doing samuel argued , that the king will oppress you. well, got till samuel to tell them a king will be terrible and oppress you, and they will be sorry they as

but the republic that was described in the hebrew scriptures reassured them. it reassured them that republicanism was a political system that enjoyed divine favor. this was reason enough for them to think more deeply about what role republicanism should play in their own form of government. but for john adams, more important h than the model ofebraic republicanism, it was a handbook for good republican citizenship. it is a handbook for republic can -- republican citizenship. the bible more than any other source taught the civic virtues required of citizens in order to govern themselves in a republic. historian james hudson at the library of congress described the essential connections of religion, virtue, and republican self-government, he describes this as the founders, the founding generation's dilligism. hudson was suggesting this was a common view in the american founding. virtue and -- religion is necessary for virtue and morality, therefore religion is necessary for republican government. the political discord of the founding era is replete with expressi

after scripture. in hell. jesus preached on hell. hell is reserved for the wicked. the bible says that god doesn't want anyone to perish. but all should come to repentance. this motivated this motivated my father to preach the gospel with urgency. he wanted to warn men and women of the consequences of their sins, that one day we would all have to stand before god, to give him an account of our lives, that there was a judgment coming. the bible tells us that man has been separated from god by sin and sin is a disease of the human soul, the human heart. and it has infected the entire human race. the bible tells us that we have all sinned and we have all come short of god's standards, his glory. and the penalty of sin is death. not just physical death, but spiritual death for eternity. the best view news ever declared is that god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not

for most of his messages, he would hold the bible and his hands and would quote scripture after scripturewere filled with scripture. when he would quote the scripture, he would always say, the bible says -- why? because it was his authority. my father believed in heaven. he also believed in hell. you see, jesus preached on hell. hell is reserved for the wicked. for those who refuse to repent for their sins and acknowledge god's son, jesus christ, as their lord and savior. the bible said god does not want anyone to perish, but all should call to -- all should come to repentance. this motivated my father to preach the gospel with urgency. he wanted to warn men and women of the consequences of their sins. one day, we will have to stand before god and give him an account of our lives. there was a judgment coming. the bible tells us man has been separated from god by sin. heartman soul and human -- the bible tells us with all sin, we have come short of god's standards is glory. the penalty of sin is death. butjust physical death, spiritual death for eternity. the best news ever declared was go

him the shadow of scripture loomed over his life. franklin was a pioneer of a distinct kind of american religion. i'm tempted to call it an early form of what they called sheila-ism. it's the book from 1985. the individual conscience is the standard for religious truth, not any external authority. i think his protege thomas pain be a better choice. in the age of reason, my own mind is my own church. i think franklin was too tethered to external christian ethics and institutions to be a forerunner. instead, he was a pioneer of related kind of faith. that is what i call dr. oldest moralized christianity. some may debate if this is actually christianity. you can think about this for yourself. he was an experimenter at heart. he tinkered with a novel form of christianity, one where all beliefs became nonessential. the puritans focused too much on doctrine, he thought. he wearied of presbyterians zeal for expelling people and the lack of interest in the mandates of love and charity. for franklin, christianity was a primitive resource for

in the words of scripture, heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds. pres. obama: there has been another mass shooting in america. this time in a community college in oregon. that means there are more american families, moms, dads, children, whose lives have been changed forever. that means there is another community stunned with grief, and communities across the country forced to relieve their own anguish, and parents across the country who are scared , because they know it might have been their families or their children. i have been to roseburg, oregon. there are really good people there. i would like to thank the bravery of first responders who saved lives today. federal law enforcement has been in a supporting role, and we have offered to stay and help roseburg as much and as long as they need. in the coming days, we will learn about the victims, young men and women who were studying and learning and working hard, their eyes set on the future, their dreams on what they could make of their lives. america will wrap everyone who is grieving with our prayer

factors in this russian history but i also think there's a very specific reason to this specific scriptural case which goes beyond the syrian and crimean cases and that is that britain has a particular need within the context of the brics it negotiations yes the reason may when she became prime minister said she wanted a full free trade agreement with the european union i believe that was a major strategic error on her part because it put her in the position of someone who wanted something from brussels because she wants something from brussels she has to give something in return and what britain can offer in return is military power and the secret services in other words the british have a clear motive for trying to show the europeans that the europeans need them they need their protection they need their security services and they need their armies and we can see this in all kinds of areas not just in the script case we see it for example also in the fact that the british commissioner now in brussels is the commissioner for the security union he's a former ambassador who's worked on secur
