Although not an American citizen, Os Guinness describes himself as a “longtime, though deeply concerned, admirer of the American republic.” His recent book Last Call for Liberty is an thoughtful, irenic, and eloquent articulation of the principles that underlie American freedom and the forces that currently threaten it.

The Abrahamic foundation for freedom

Published August 29, 2019 by Sharon Correll

Os Guinness makes the argument that it is the Abrahamic religions—specifically the understanding of the nature of God and humankind as taught in the Hebrew scriptures—that form the most viable foundation for liberty.

What foundation for freedom?

Published June 30, 2019 by Sharon Correll

Freedom cannot it be sustained simply by assertion or wishful thinking. It can only exist when there is some philosophical or religious system of thought that provides a foundation for it.

The Golden Triangle of Freedom

A concept that appears in several of Os Guinness’s books describes the relationship between freedom, faith, and virtue. He calls it “The Golden Triangle of Freedom.”

What is freedom? Although it is a simple word that is part of the vocabulary of young children, the concept contains complexities and paradoxes that are not evident at first glance.

Right now we are targeting Michigan with our prayers, but it can be difficult to pray with perseverance when we've experienced disappointment in 2018.

Statist elites will do anything within their power to retain their political clout and control the national agenda. So how do we pray and participate as intercessors and believers?

Physicians for COS

The diagnosis is clear.

We have a growing cancer today known as the Obamacare.

As a result physicians are no longer free to practice medicine.

No profession feels the full force of the federal government more than physicians. The medical profession is the most highly regulated profession in the United States. The practice of medicine is controlled, taxed, and regulated to the point of being destroyed by the heavy hand of the federal government.

Physicians are told how to bill, how much to charge, and how to treat patients. They are mandated to use expensive electronic medical records. The federally enacted HIPPA (Health Information Privacy and Portability Act) makes the communication between physicians and atients burdensome, inefficient,and expensive. Every physician is required by federal mandate to register with the government to obtain an NPI (national provider identifier.) We are required by federal law to obtain and pay for a license to prescribe medication through the DEA, which is separate from our state licensure.

This heavy hand of government not only oversees the largest federal health bureaucracy ever created, but by extension reaches into every state, every city, and every small town to regulate how every licensed physician practices the art of medicine and how citizens obtain care.

The treatment is also clear.

The prescription for a cure was written into our constitution by our founders. Article V of our constitution allows for the states to call for a convention of states to limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government through the proposal of constitutional amendments. Physicians should be the strongest supporters of this brilliantly-crafted states’ rights tool placed into our constitution by our founders.

I urge my fellow American physicians to join with me in supporting an Article V Convention of States to take back control of the practice of medicine. It’s the only way that we can return the practice of medicine back to the intimate relationship between a doctor and patient without interference by the heavy hand of a distant, national government.
