Summary
This teaching presents what Shane Vaughn calls the "Triangle of Fire": freedom, virtue, and faith. Using the analogy of the fire triangle, he argues that each element depends upon the others for the preservation of a constitutional republic. He contends that America's founders understood that liberty could only endure among a virtuous people, that virtue depends upon faith in God, and that faith requires religious freedom. The message emphasizes the Ten Commandments, the fear of God, respect for institutions, strong families, and the church as the moral foundation of society while warning that replacing virtue with increasing legislation inevitably leads to tyranny.
