Fourth of July Messages From 5 Christian Leaders to Americans on Independence Day
2. Benham Brothers
Conservative Christian twins David and Jason Benham, whose HGTV series "Flip It Forward" was canceled before it even aired amid backlash over their views on abortion and gay marriage in 2014, urged Americans not to take for granted the liberties and luxuries they have been afforded.
In a blog post titled "Three Keys to Saving America From Collapse," they outlined that the country needs to return to its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual heritage in order to rise again.
"Although we don't face a despot leader today, we do face a despot agenda — an anti-American, anti-God, sexual revolution, which is just as formidable an enemy to freedom as any despot the world has ever known," the brothers wrote.
"In just 50 years, this revolution has gone from acceptance, to appreciation, to celebration, and now to forced participation as it demands absolute authority over any and every institution in our society," they added.
