The Bottom Line
Godly Civics™ is a new paradigm that, for the first time, enumerates the Laws of Nature for everyone in our Declaration of Independence, God’s 1776 Creation, and brings our one nation under God into His creation, establishing His Laws of Nature as superior to political factions.
The Body of Christ is the only group that can accomplish this because “…we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Eph:6:12). No political party can do that.
Our Three Websites
GodlyCivics.com lays out the Seminar (advanced learning) and presents implementation strategies for we pulpit leaders and the Body of Christ. Christians can no longer ignore the Devil’s war against Jesus, “waged against peoples, nations, tongues, and kings” (Rev. 10:11).
LibertyCivics.com examines 250 years of the American experiment through one governing question: How does a free people create, preserve, lose, and restore Liberty?
It is not an argument for finding better rulers. It is an argument for We the People becoming better governors of the government we already own. (Click Here)
WePEG1787.com is our WMD: it presents 51 Governing Principles and 43 Election Principles for candidates to score from 0 to 10 on agreement, so we know exactly how they will govern. No one is excluded. Instead of judging candidates primarily by personalities, party labels, campaign promises, or political attacks, measure how they intend to govern against defined Governing Principles. (Click Here)

The Biblical USA View – For a Time Such as This (Esther 4:14)
This is a Christian book with an unusual civic conclusion. Scripture tells us that our struggle is ultimately not against flesh and blood. Christians are called to stand for Truth while defending the Religious Liberty of Christians, other religions, and those of no faith. The objective is not religious government. It is Liberty under Governing Principles that apply equally to everyone.
This book does not end with another political opinion. It ends with a Measuring Stick: The Truth. The Principles. The Evidence. The Measuring Stick. The Founders gave us their discoveries. We owe posterity our discoveries, “For a Time Such as This.”
Godly CivicsTM equips. The Body acts. God gets the glory.
Godly Civics at Work – Discovering and Measuring the Laws of Nature - Action, Not Just Knowledge
This book moves from discovery to action, challenging Christians to rise above the divisions of partisan politics and become effective participants in self-government. Readers will discover:
Why Liberty and Responsibility are inseparable.
How God’s Laws of Nature provide a foundation for evaluating government.
Why governing authority must have legitimate boundaries.
How Truth, evidence, and measurable results expose failed governing principles.
Why political factions must never become the standard by which government is judged.
How pastors can equip the Body of Christ to practice Civics without turning worship centers into political organizations.
The book concludes with the third website listed above: WePEG1787™ — We the People’s Principles of Effective Governing, a practical instrument inviting candidates to disclose their agreement with governing principles on a scale of zero to ten. No endorsements. No partisan measuring stick. Citizens examine the answers and make their own judgments.
Godly Civics™ does not create the Laws of Nature. It seeks to discover them, define them, test them, and measure their consequences. Written especially for pulpit leaders, the Body of Christ, and citizens who value Liberty, Godly Civics at Work™ offers a path beyond political division toward accountable self-government.
Liberty Civics – Our Last Chance at Self-Government

Note: the LibertyCivics.com website is the book text.
If our Liberty depends upon our candidate winning, we have already surrendered too much Liberty to the government.
That observation is the starting point of Liberty Civics™. This is not an argument against government or strong leadership. Government is necessary, and a legitimate government requires sufficient power to carry out its legitimate purposes. The question is how much power any election should place in the hands of the winners.
If losing an election threatens our way of life, perhaps the deeper problem is not simply that the wrong person might win. Perhaps too much power has accumulated in the prize.
The Founders understood this problem structurally. They did not build a constitutional system that depended upon continually finding unusually virtuous rulers. They divided power, checked power, balanced power, dispersed power, and repeatedly returned political authority to We the People. And We the People have been overwhelmed, which our Founders never envisioned.
Their question was not merely who should govern. It was how the government could possess enough authority to govern without becoming the master of the people who created it.
Over time, a dangerous cycle can develop. Government grows. Elections become more consequential. Factions fight harder to control the government. Citizens become increasingly convinced that Liberty depends upon their faction winning.
When their faction wins, they become more willing to use the very powers they feared when the other faction possessed them. The next election then becomes even more consequential.
Liberty Civics™ seeks to break that cycle by returning to a disciplined method: Principle → Evidence → Judgment → Remedy. Begin with the governing principle. Examine the facts. Measure what happened. Make a judgment. Then choose a remedy no broader than the legitimate purpose requires.
This method leads eventually to WePEG1787—We the People’s Principles of Effective Governing—a common Measuring Stick for WTP, candidates, representatives, and results.
You don’t join Liberty Civics™. You practice it.
From the Pulpit to the Pride – The Pastor and Body of Christ Implementation Strategy
(Click to Amazon)
Note: The GodlyCivics.com website is the book text.
This book is the implementation companion to The Biblical USA View™—a practical call for pastors and the Body of Christ to move from understanding Liberty to actively preserving it. America’s Founders gave We the People a remarkable system of self-government grounded in the Laws of Nature. But self-government works only when citizens accept responsibility for the government they choose. For the Body of Christ, that responsibility carries an even greater purpose: Social Liberty protects Religious Liberty, and Religious Liberty preserves our freedom to carry the Gospel to the next generation.
This booklet presents two complementary assignments. For pastors: Equip the Body without turning the pulpit into a political-faction platform. Learn from the civic courage of the Black Robe tradition, understand the spiritual battle behind earthly government, and empower trusted leaders to organize Principle-centered Civics.
For the Body of Christ: Become The Pride of America—believers united not by denomination, political party, or centralized organization, but by shared civic stewardship under the Lion of Judah.
Then put that stewardship to work through WePEG1787—the Citizen’s Measure. Instead of judging candidates primarily by personalities, party labels, campaign promises, or political attacks, measure how they intend to govern against defined Governing Principles.
