In answer to your question, it always comes back to
“what is the ultimate conflict?”.
And that conflict is God’s truth (reality) versus Satan’s “alternate truth”.
The fledgling Colonialists united with France to win the Revolutionary War.
These are the times that try men's souls.
I think our current battle is in the 'secular' realm. The eternal realm comes later.
The age old L vs C arguement:
Does the virtuous man become free or is only the free man able to become virtuous.
Will a man abide the Constitution in the mannor of our founders — that is my only concern at this point.
