More: "Once reverence for the Creator's transcendent will is effectively banished from the precincts of politics, law, and government, to what authority can we appeal when government vitiates our unalienable rights? On what basis shall those who resist and fight against unrighteous abuses of government power defend the morality of their actions? And without a strong sense of moral justification, how will they maintain their morale in the battle to defend their rights? How will they justify the sacrifices required to persevere in it? Beck's call for surrender makes sense in this respect, for Americans who refuse to insist that government be constrained by reverence for God's authority have already surrendered the core principle of liberty. But by restoring that reverence, liberty, though it be dead as Lazarus, may yet be resurrected. For 'with God all things are possible' (Matthew 19:26)."
