Open Letter to Christian Liberty Party Readership

Dear Friends of Christian Liberty,

I am writing you on behalf of the “Christian Liberty Party” which has been on-line since 2006.

Below is a message from Keith Humphrey, the owner of the Christian Liberty Party website and domain, to give you a general, brief overview of the history of the Christian Liberty Party.

The original purpose of the Christian Liberty Party website was to provide a forum for communication, with the goal of the re-unification of various State Parties which disaffiliated from the Constitution Party National Committee in 2006. The hope was that these various State Parties with explicitly Christian and uncompromising Pro-Life principles would come together and continue to be a voice in the public sphere of politics.

I was holding the name in trust, with the hope that one of the original Pro-Life leaders, such as Michael Peroutka, Cal Zastrow, Rick Jore, or Leslie Riley, would provide the charismatic leadership to draw together various Pro-Life State political parties. Over the past four years, most of the disaffiliated political parties lost their State ballot access, dissolved their membership, or were hijacked and re-assimilated into the Constitution Party National Committee. The only State Parties that I am aware of which have ongoing ballot access and run winning candidates, are Montana and Oregon. Many of the original contestants in the struggle to keep the Constitution Party Pro-Life have since redirected their efforts appropriately to other more focused pursuits, such as the Personhood Movement, or in my case, Christian Exodus.

Keith Humphrey

I have been updating the Christian Liberty Party website on a regular basis with Christian news items and commentaries since March of 2007. I also send out a weekly newsletter to approximately 200 people. You, our subscribers, are loyal – some of you were members of the Constitution Party of Illinois when I was involved with that endeavor and many others have been receiving the newsletter for several years. I think I can say with confidence that the majority of you are Christian and 100% pro-life – no exceptions and no compromise! In fact, most of you are foot soldiers standing at the very gates of hell (the abortion mills) on a regular basis.

Keith has compiled these statistics for the Christian Liberty Party website:

The average visitor statistics over the past six months are these:

800 unique visitors per month.
More than 2 visits per visitor, and more than 4 pages per visit.
This is very low volume for a website, but displays a moderate amount of stickiness (which means that those who do visit actually read the stories on a regular basis, and are not just surfing by.)

Now, dear friends, here is my request: are you willing to be part of an explicitly Christian political party or confederation of parties that will proclaim Christ is King and Lord over all the nations, America included? This will be no easy task, but I strongly believe it is one we must attempt as there is no functioning national Christian party or confederation (which I prefer) of parties in America.

We are living in a pivotal time in history when our culture needs a clear prophetic witness for Jesus Christ and His Law. And while we might already be at work doing this seperately, perhaps it is time for us to join together in Christian covenant under the banner of “No king but King Jesus!” My hope and prayer is that Christian Liberty Party will be used by the Lord for His glory and I ask if you will each pray about this and email Keith or me with your thoughts and if so inclined your commitment as well. Thank you.

For Christ's Crown & Covenant,

A discerning look at 'Biblical Patriarchy' and those who abuse it

By Angela Wittman While much of what Doug Phillips teaches regarding Patriarchy sounds biblical, because of the lack of practical application, his teachings are often taken to extremes. Sometimes, men just hear his vision of men always “leading,” and they become domineering and demanding, causing undue stress on the wife. I know of one family that divorced precisely because of hearing this teaching and not understanding what it really should be. Sometimes, men will try to emulate what they see in Doug Phillips, and start requiring their families to have all the same rules as the Phillips. Unfortunately, if there are no personal convictions behind the rules, they soon become extremely oppressive and smother the family. Some men just have no clue about how to “lead” their families; they just know that it’s being constantly preached at them from the pulpit. Having come from a home without a godly leader, these men need lots of practical examples. (Taken from: Doug Phillips’ Kangaroo Court...

A discerning look at Ted Weiland's "Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective"

By Angela Wittman I believe I have found within the Scriptures the key to what made America great, and this key can restore her to her former greatness. - Ted Weiland, ( Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution; The Christian Perspective , http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/BlvcOnline/biblelaw-constitutionalism-preface.html) A couple of years ago Ted Weiland contacted me and asked if he might send me his primer on Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective . After receiving and reviewing the primer, I decided to toss it in the trash due to the concern that Mr. Weiland was missing a foundational point - Biblical covenanting. And after recently reviewing his work in greater detail, I believe the reformed and theonomic community should be cautious about Mr. Weiland's book and his beliefs. Due to some glaring "red flags" I encountered while researching Mr. Weiland, I've decided to write this warning and state my concerns. First of a...

'Of Saving Faith'

The Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter XIV Of Saving Faith I. The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, [1] is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, [2] and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word, [3] by which also, and by the administration of the sacraments, and prayer, it is increased and strengthened. [4] II. By this faith, a Christian believes to be true whatsoever is revealed in the Word, for the authority of God himself speaking therein; [5] and acts differently upon that which each particular passage thereof contains; yielding obedience to the commands, [6] trembling at the threatenings, [7] and embracing the promises of God for this life, and that which is to come. [8] But the principal acts of saving faith are accepting, receiving, and resting upon Christ alone for justification, sanctification, and eternal life, by virtue of the covenant of grace. [9] III. This faith is differ...

A Discerning Look at the Christian Pro-life Movement in America

By Angela Wittman Can two walk together except they be agreed? - Amos 3:3, 1599 Geneva Bible First of all, may the Reader be aware that I've been a part of the pro-life movement since becoming a Christian in 1993. In fact, the right to life of the preborn and my complicit silence to their murder is the very first sin the good Lord brought to my attention after my conversion to Christ. The knowledge that as an unbeliever I had bloodguilt on my hands for not speaking up for the preborn burnt like a hot knife into the very depth of my being. But I also had true joy and freedom due to the knowledge that I was now a new creation in Christ and I could repent of that sin - and repent I did! I immediately began attending local meetings for the Christian Coalition and a local RTL group. I quickly became involved in the movement and traveled to the State House in Illinois to speak on behalf of the preborn and to Washington DC for the annual Roe v. Wade marches. My activities included campaig...

Alzheimer's Disease, Adultery and God's Word

By Angela Wittman "When B. and I realized what we're dealing with and she understood what the situation is, she said to me… 'I know what I have. I know where it's gonna take me. Tell the story. Tell the truth,'" Gasby recounted. In January, he spoke that truth — and let cameras into his home. It's a home he shares with his wife and his girlfriend, Alex Lerner, who also has a bedroom in the house and helps with B.'s care. Yesterday morning I happened to catch the segment Falling in love while caring for your spouse with Alzheimer's disease that aired on CBS This Morning. . I watched in amazement as two men whose wives had Alzheimer's Disease (one wife is now deceased) openly discussed having adulterous relationships with other women. Is this now to become a new norm? These men and women feel they shouldn't be judged, and shockingly the news anchors interviewing them seemed to agree. My father has Alzheimer's Disease and w...
