Culture war continues after election

Allie Martin – OneNewsNow – 11/4/2008 8:45:00 AM

A pro-family activist is encouraging Christians to become and stay involved in the culture war no matter the outcome of the presidential election.

Matt Barber is director of cultural affairs with Liberty Counsel and also the associate dean of the Liberty University School of Law. Several years ago, he w as fired from a Fortune 100 company after he wrote an article, on his own time, warning of the dangers of same-sex “marriage.”

He settled with the firm, and now serves full-time on the front lines of the culture war. Barber says many Christians do not realize times are changing and that many free-speech liberties are at stake.

“We have too many Christians who are kind of sitting on their hands, being in the world but not of the world. Well, that doesn’t mean that you don’t get involved in the process and that you don’t stand up for your religious liberties,” he contends.

“We have this notion of Christ as being kind of passive and allowing himself to be pushed around. Well, as I recall, Christ at one point went into a temple and started kicking over some tables and throwing some people out of there….I’m not advocating violence — but it’s time for people to start standing up for their constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.”

Barber is also a regular contributor to OneNewsNow.com. (Read his most recent column)
