Top 10 Moral Issues Facing America

Every Christian needs to go to the polls on November 2 with firm convictions about how to cast their ballots.  To help, we've put together this Top 10 list of the significant moral issues facing America today.  I hope that it will elevate the tone of the debate and assist you as you prepare to exercise your God-given trust to vote.  For more information, you can order a CD from the BreakPoint Bookstore with a compilation of BreakPoint commentaries in which I address these moral issues.
