We are witnessing a cultural battle for the ages!
The enemies of God-given liberty are attacking three of the vital foundations upon which every society rests – specifically, the family, the Church, and the civil government.
The family is being viciously attacked by:
- perverting the concept of marriage, which God created to be between one man and one woman.
- perverting the image of the family as He has ordained it.
- usurping parental responsibilities and transferring the role and duties to others, especially the civil government.
- promoting abortion, sexual promiscuity, and pornography.
The Church is being attacked by:
- marginalizing and silencing its witness.
- deceiving it with false doctrine and warped ideologies such as tolerance of sin and acceptance of same-sex “marriage.”
- falsely applying the so-called “separation of church and state.”
Civil government is being attacked by:
- encouraging us to view government as a god, able to cure all of our social ills and our economic woes.
- expanding government into areas never intended by the Lord, such as using tax dollars to fund activities that violate biblical principles.
- judicial activism, whereby judges violate the separation of powers established by our Constitution and oppose the moral values upon which it is based.
Prayer, biblical worldview education, and taking action are practical steps toward victory over these attacks.
Our country and culture are experiencing moral decay, but history proves the Church can be a powerful voice for good and that God’s Word will prevail!
Looking back on the birth of this nation, it is clear the Great Awakening gave birth to the American Revolution. The sermons of pastors were literally the fuel for the American Revolution. I believe the same can be true today.
That is why Liberty Counsel is working with pastors and churches during this critical time in American history.
When taking on these crucial battles, we are constantly looking for other like-minded organizations with which to partner in order to achieve the added effectiveness only synergy of effort can provide.
We have long known of a remarkable ministry in San Diego, CA, that was forged in the crucible of a dedicated pastor’s (Jim Garlow) and his church’s fight against the pro-homosexual agenda in his state.
Arising out of the culture-changing impact of Skyline Church in La Mesa, a suburb of San Diego, Salt and Light Council is a highly effective outreach to other churches and pastors wishing to change the culture for good.
Liberty Counsel and the Salt and Light Council (SLC) are pleased to announce that SLC has officially joined the ministry of Liberty Counsel!
Liberty Counsel and the Salt and Light Council are the perfect combination to educate and mobilize pastors and churches to engage in responsible biblical citizenship.
Any church’s impact on the culture can wane because leaders lack the tools to equip their congregations. The Salt and Light Council provides the ongoing assistance, education, and action points to help pastors and churches remain engaged.
One reason we are delighted to announce this union of Liberty Counsel and the Salt and Light Council is because it will greatly enhance Liberty Counsel’s Pastors & Patriots initiative.
++God birthed us for this moment. This is truly an inspired collaboration.
Earlier this year, Liberty Counsel launched its Pastors & Patriots initiative, designed to educate and mobilize pastors and churches to engage in responsible citizenship.
The Salt and Light Council is a ministry tool for local churches and currently works with about 80 congregations throughout the country. SLC conducts workshops and provides training to establish Salt & Light Biblical Citizenship Ministries in churches that offer education in worldview issues, along with sharing ways people can advance religious liberty, the sanctity of human life, marriage, family, and support for Israel.
A Salt & Light Citizenship Ministry mobilizes groups of like-minded, concerned Christians to pray, become educated, and take action on issues that undermine our biblical values and constitutional liberties.
Dran Reese, President of The Salt and Light Council, said of the new arrangement…
“We are pleased to join forces with Mat Staver and Liberty Counsel. Salt & Light Biblical Citizenship Ministries train and equip citizens to become public servants dedicated to the mission field of government. As a turnkey ministry, we provide all the tools, training, and support needed to sustain this effort.
The Church is where meaningful change has the best chance to succeed. With its emphasis on the legal protection and rights of the Church, Liberty Counsel and The Salt and Light Council working together offer a complete package to restore our Christian heritage and influence.”
A Salt & Light Citizenship Ministry creates maximum impact while requiring minimal time and effort from senior pastors and leadership.
++It is time for pastors and patriots to rise up!
We simply cannot be silent as America is forced to become a godless, socialist nation. Help us unite, educate, and empower pastors and patriots all across our nation to confront some of the most intense cultural, moral, and ethical battles that have ever faced our nation!
Liberty Counsel has developed a powerful Pastors & Patriots Action Pack composed of a DVD entitled “Silence is Not an Option” and The Patriot’s Handbook of Political Action for Pastors and Churches.
We have launched the Pastors & Patriots Action Pack program starting with 45,057 churches that would benefit from this invaluable resource in nine key battleground states starting with Virginia and New Jersey – both of which have gubernatorial races this year.
When we complete this campaign, we will have distributed these vital materials to a little over 156,000 churches nationwide.

We can’t fight this battle alone. There is power in unity, in being of one mind, cause, and goal. We want pastors across the nation to replace the muzzle with a megaphone!
God bless you for sponsoring churches and pastors and for helping Liberty Counsel advance this vital cause!
Mathew D. Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
P.S. We must be able to provide information to pastors, their congregations, or para-church organizations to help ignite a new revolution of liberty in America! And, of course, Liberty Counsel stands ready to provide legal support when necessary.
Please, order sponsored copies of the Pastors & Patriots Action Pack today.
