Staying True to America's National Destiny
STAND is a national grassroots organization of Americans dedicated to
preserving our Judeo-Christian History and Values; saving the unborn from
the slaughter of abortion; maintaining marriage as a sacred union between
one man and one woman; reversing our country’s slide into secular atheism,
anti-Semitism and anti-Christian bigotry; continuing to be the world’s
strongest military power; protecting Israel’s right to exist and be secure
within its borders; supporting political leaders who uphold these values and
opposing those who do not; and promoting a vision of America as one nation
under God, without regard to ethnicity.

"Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:17
(NIV)
The
Family Research Council (FRC) champions marriage and family as the
foundation of civilization, the seedbed of virtue, and the wellspring of
society. FRC shapes public debate and formulates public policy that values
human life and upholds the institutions of marriage and the family.
Believing that God is the author of life, liberty, and the family, FRC
promotes the Judeo-Christian worldview as the basis for a just, free, and
stable society. (www.frc.org)
The Alliance Defense Fund is the only legal ministry in the United States that provides regular, extensive, and top-level training through an accredited academy program to help practicing attorneys successfully defend and reclaim religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and traditional family values. Since 1994, ADF has provided millions of dollars in funding for hundreds of cases and legal projects to help win back the justice system and restore religious liberty.
We have been blessed to work with more than 125
organizations, helping to coordinate an allied effort, to avoid
duplication, and to provide resources and strategic direction on cases
related to our mission. The Alliance Defense Fund, working with our
allies, as well as experienced litigators, directly litigates some
carefully chosen, strategic cases for a unique purpose: to train newly
licensed attorneys in the fine art of litigating—and winning—legal matters
protecting religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and traditional
family values. (www.alliancedefensefund.org)
American Family Association
AFA is
for people who are tired of cursing the darkness and who are ready to
light a bonfire. We are a non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization founded in
1977 by Don Wildmon. The American Family Association represents and stands
for traditional family values, focusing primarily on the influence of
television and other media – including pornography – on our society. AFA
believes that the entertainment industry, through its various products,
has played a major role in the decline of those values on which our
country was founded and which keep a society and its families strong and
healthy. For example, over the last 25 years we have seen the
entertainment industry "normalize" and glorify premarital sex. During that
time we have suffered a dramatic increase in teen pregnancies, sexually
transmitted diseases such as AIDS and abortion as a means of birth
control.
We
believe in holding accountable the companies which sponsor programs
attacking traditional family values. We also believe in commending those
companies which act responsibly regarding programs they support. (www.afa.net)
Liberty
Counsel is a nonprofit litigation, education and policy organization

and hundreds of affiliate attorneys in all 50 states. (www.lc.org)
The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 12 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This home study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.
We believe this one project represents the possibility for exponential change within the body of Christ, as we expect that thousands will be transformed by this curriculum. As it has been throughout history, God continues to call ordinary people to make an eternal difference in our world.
We invite you to be a part of this cultural change by participating in or leading a small group of your own. Contact us to learn how you can get involved in Focus on the Family's The Truth Project! (www.thetruthproject.org)
WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built-a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was so accurately stated by George Washington, we believe that "the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained."

The mission of Justice For All is to create debate, change hearts, and save lives. This is accomplished through the presentation of an outdoor photo exhibit that is placed upon college and university campuses. Nearly one in three children conceived in America are being violently killed in the womb. Not because they did anything wrong, or because we cannot afford them, or because no one would adopt or love them. They are aborted because they are unwanted, though ironically their tiny bodies are now deemed vital to medical research.
Why would the most affluent society in history kill off so many of its youngest and most vulnerable members?
Answer: Selfishness, fueled by ignorance. We hope through the Justice For All Exhibit to at least end the ignorance and call our society to higher ideals.
Is it worth upsetting thousands? If the Justice For All Exhibit saves only one life, the answer is "Yes!" (www.jfaweb.org)

The Rev. Peter Marshall is a Presbyterian
minister who for over forty years has gained national recognition as a
preacher on Christian growth and discipleship, and as a teacher and writer
on America's Christian heritage. Because he believes that our nation is in
moral and spiritual crisis and that the only hope for restoration is
revival, his increasingly prophetic ministry focuses on two major themes.
First, there is the urgent necessity of recovering the original American vision, and the truth about our Christian heritage. How can we restore America if we don't know who we are?
Second, he strongly emphasizes the importance of putting 2nd Chronicles 7:14 into practice: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land."

Since
Focus on the Family's primary reason for
existence is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through a practical
outreach to homes, we have firm beliefs about both the Christian faith and
the importance of the family. This ministry is therefore based upon five
guiding philosophies that are apparent at every level throughout the
organization. These "pillars" are drawn from the wisdom of the Bible and the
Judeo-Christian ethic, rather than from the humanistic notions of today's
theorists. In short, Focus on the Family is a reflection of what we believe
to be the recommendations of the Creator Himself, who ordained the family
and gave it His blessing. (www.family.org)
Vision America was founded by Pastor Rick Scarborough to reach across the nation and help mobilize thousands of his fellow pastors of all denominations. He recognized that if he, as pastor, did not promote active citizenship within his congregation then participation dropped dramatically. Conversely, if he was proactive in speaking to the moral issues and encouraging civic involvement in his church many more people took their citizenship seriously and became active.

American Heritage Research is dedicated to restoring the truth of America's Founding Principles within our education curriculum. They are convinced that nations are blessed only as they follow God's plan for freedom. The words from Leviticus, carved into the Liberty Bell, speak our desire to "Proclaim Liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof . . . ." (www.americanheritageresearch.com)
