All things through Christ -- and that applies to the fight to restore the American Dream, as well. America may be facing attacks from communists and socialists and collectivists and secularists who want to turn this nation's government and culture into something it's not -- who want to rebuild the country by ripping out its very roots. But the demise of America isn't set in stone. It's not a done deal. As Tim Goeglein with Focus on the Family says -- the 1960s may have ushered in a time of cultural upheaval and moral degradation. But a nation rooted on godly principles can recover and emerge in unity. This is the fight before us, he says.

If America is to keep intact its God-given rights and liberties, then America must keep God at the helm -- it's just common sense. Remove God from "God-given" and there's a void. What happens is government steps in and takes over God's domain. Government becomes a sort of god to the people. God-given morphs into Government-given. And what government gives -- government can take. This is the root of all that ails in America right now. Rob Pacienza, faith leader and public speaker, has much to say about the need to keep God at the helm of society.

America's divided, that's true. But it doesn't have to be that way. If Americans would return to the time when political opposition didn't bring out the daggers and knives, and instead, could solve differences with courteous rhetoric -- well, then, half of the divisions in this nation would go by the wayside. But with a most contested presidential election on the horizon -- and coming as it does on the heels of an attempted assassination on a former U.S. president -- the chances of cooler heads prevailing is slim to none. Dr. Warren Farrell has some ideas on getting along with others, though. And it's well worth the while to listen and heed his advice.
