Besides living a life that invites the guidance and gifts of God's Spirit that thereby we might be a blessing to our country and to those persons we encounter it's also vital that we become acquainted with effective tools for political activism, so we might fulfill our God-given duty as citizens and significantly multiply our influence for good.
Among the many grassroots resources that could be listed are the following
- The growing selection of patriotic songs featured at America's Revival. Among these are "Born in America," by Neil Brian Goldberg; "American Tea Party Anthem," by Lloyd Marcus; and "Taxed Enough Already," by Craig Myers.
Play these songs at rallies, Tea Parties, patriotic events, protests, and local gatherings. Such inspiring music not only has the power to stir people's hearts to action, but opens their minds to truth.
- AmericasRevival.com a website sponsored by RenewAmerica to inform and equip God-fearing grassroots activists. The site is a strictly nonpartisan organizing tool for restoring our country to its biblical, constitutional, and Declaration-based foundations. It is not aligned with any particular candidate or national leader, and emphasizes the need for each individual citizen to lead out in reclaiming America upon God-centered precepts and principles. We'll keep you posted as we add new features to the site.
The latest features include:
- The Pledge for America's Revival. Prayerfully consider adding your name.
