Biblical Values in Modern Society

Back in the 1940s, when my grandpa (and probably yours too) was just a boy running barefoot through these same Blue Ridge Mountains, things were simpler. The old men, those weathered calloused handed giants of faith, were real men. They got up before dawn to work the farms, the mills, the coal mines, or the family businesses. They provided for their households with honest sweat and a quiet determination that said, “I will not fail my family or my God.” They protected what was theirs, not with loud boasts, but with strong backs, steady eyes, and a willingness to lay down their lives if duty called. They spoke truth plainly, kept their word like it was gold, and taught their sons the same by example. A man’s handshake sealed a deal stronger than any lawyer’s paper, because integrity wasn’t optional, it was who they were.

And the old women? Oh, what pillars of strength and grace they were! Those godly mothers and grandmothers, nurturers to the core were the heartbeat of every home. They rose early to fix breakfast, kept the house spotless, and filled it with the aroma of love, prayer, and home cooked meals. They raised children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, teaching little ones to memorize Scripture before they could read, to say “Yes ma’am” and “Yes sir,” and to respect the authorities God placed over them. They mended clothes, tended gardens, comforted the sick, and gathered the family around the supper table every single night, no distractions, just real conversation, laughter, and thanking God for His provision.

Churches overflowed on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. Neighbors didn’t wait to be asked, they showed up with a casserole when someone was sick, helped raise a barn, or sat on the porch swapping stories of God’s faithfulness. Biblical values weren’t debated on the evening news or called “extreme” on social media. They were simply normal American life in these mountains. Boys grew up to be men who feared God and worked hard. Girls grew up to be women who loved their homes and honored the Lord. No one argued about whether boys could be girls or girls could be boys. The Ten Commandments hung in courthouses and schoolrooms without apology. Honesty, integrity, hard work, marriage between one man and one woman, and unashamed faith in God weren’t fringe ideas, they were the very foundation that built strong families, strong communities, and a strong nation. Those dear saints poured decades of blood, sweat, and tears into what they built. They survived the Great Depression, fought in World War II, came home, and rebuilt this country with their bare hands and Bibles open on the kitchen table. They passed down a legacy of faith, freedom, and family that should have lasted for generations.

Fast-forward to 2026… and look around, family. So much of that hard work, that godly foundation, laid by our grandparents and great grandparents, has been eroded away like a mountain stream washing out the soil after a hard rain. One big reason so many biblical values have gone astray is because too many parents have quit teaching and instilling those timeless truths in their children. Instead of opening the KJV Bible at the supper table, praying together before bed, or teaching little boys to be men of honor and little girls to be women of virtue, families have let screens, schools, and the culture do the teaching. The result? A generation growing up confused about who God made them to be, unsure of right and wrong, and drifting far from the faith that sustained their grandparents. Those same biblical values that built this nation have been pushed to the side like yesterday’s newspaper. Confusion reigns in the culture, in the schools, and yes, even in the halls of government. Boys are told they can compete against girls in sports and locker rooms. Marriage is redefined to mean anything or nothing at all. Churches are emptier, families are fractured, and neighbors often don’t even know each other’s names anymore.

The political scene today is so convoluted and broken it makes a grown man’s head spin. Politicians, whether they call themselves Republican, Democrat, Independent, or anything else, campaign on one thing and then do the exact opposite once they’re in office. Promises break like cheap glass. Truth gets twisted until you don’t know which way is up. And the average hardworking Christian family is left standing in the middle of it all asking, “What happened to right and wrong? What happened to the world our grandparents fought and prayed for?”

But here’s the good news, the hope that should set your heart on fire! God is still with us!

He has not left the throne. He has not abandoned His people. The same God who walked with our grandparents through the Depression and the war is walking with us right now through this cultural storm. He is raising up a remnant, men and women right here in these mountains who refuse to let the light go out. That’s exactly why C.P.R. was born. We’re not here to play politics as usual. We’re here to expose the darkness and fight for the light right where it matters most, in our local communities. Because revival doesn’t start in Washington. It starts on your Main Street. It starts in your living room, your church pew, your county commission meeting, and at the ballot box when we hold the ballot in one hand and God’s Word in the other.

C.P.R. stands for Christian Perspective Representatives, but more than that, we stand for biblical values in action!

• The sanctity of life from conception to natural death

• God’s design for marriage and family, one man, one woman, raising children in truth

• Religious liberty so we can worship and live out our faith without fear

• Integrity in leadership, where a man’s word is still his bond

• The God given rights our forefathers fought and died for

  
  

We believe the battle for the soul of America will be won or lost in our local communities like the churches, the schools, the town halls, and the homes of Christians who refuse to bow to the spirit of this age.

So what can you do today?

1. Open your KJV Bible, and let God renew your mind every single morning.

2. Pray,  really pray for our county, our leaders, and our families.

3. Show up, come to the next public meeting. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other believers.

4. Vote, not by party label, but by biblical values.

5. volunteer, donate, share the light. We’re ordinary folks like you and me, veterans, moms, dads, grandparents — all saying “Enough!” and choosing to stand.

   
   

The world may be changing fast, but our God never changes. His Word is still a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. And as long as there are faithful believers in our communities who refuse to compromise, hope is alive.

Will you stand with us?

Let’s be the generation that turns the tide, not by our own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit and the unchanging truth of Scripture. Let’s start teaching our children again, rebuilding those family altars, and watching God restore what the locusts have eaten.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
