Top Republican Urges Silence on Social Issues
Possible 2012 presidential contender Haley Barbour is telling fellow Republicans that social issues are a losing cause in this election cycle. Barbour advised Republicans seeking office to concentrate on economic issues rather than social issues like abortion, because that issue “ain’t gonna change anybody’s vote.”
Unlike Gov. Barbour, FPN remains committed to championing a Biblical perspective on the social issues, regardless of election trends. We are also confident that there are millions of Christians in this country who still see the murder of innocent children as infinitely more important than any particular economic environment.
Protection of the innocent is a foundational function of government (Rom. 13). If the innocent are butchered, of what eternal significance is a flourishing economy?

Joshua 24:13-15
I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.’ “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (NKJV)
