High School Clubs
Hunterdon Central High School Cross Country Team
Starting a Christian Protestant High School Bible Club
Equal Access Act
Once the Equal Access Act is triggered, secondary schools cannot
discriminate against religious student groups. Also, secondary school
officials may not control the Bible Club, interfere with the operation
of the Bible Club or demand the deletion of references to Christianity
from the club's Constitution. (See Board of Education of the Westside
Community Schools v. Mergens, 496 U.S. at 239-40, 247 & 248.)
Equal Access Act Imposes one Difference between religious
clubs & Other clubs--Sponsors vs. Custodians?
The Equal Access Act prohibits faculty from serving in any role with
a religious student clubs other than a custodial
monitor. In other words, the teacher-sponsor of a religious
club is present only to ensure that the club does not violate school
policies or injure school property. (The advisor does not have the authority to tell
the club who it can or cannot sponsor to speak at the school.) Also, if
the students cannot find an advisor, the
school has to appoint one. A Bible Club at Hunterdon Central High School initially sponsored a speaker on the topic of “Leaving the Alternative Lifestyle” on 03/22/01 at the Little Theater (click to see PDF flyer on event); however, the Bible Club Officer’s were misinformed about the authority of the advisor to the club about making the decision on whether or not to officially sponsor speaker (click PDF article written to the editor of a newspaper on subject).
What kind of Constitution and Statement of
Faith should a Protestant/Evangelical Club have?
The Bible Clubs' Constitution and Statement of Faith should be very
detailed in order to prevent the Bible Club from becoming ecumenical or
liberal. (This has occurred many times in Bible Clubs.) Any leaders/officers or voting members should be conservative Protestant/Evangelicals. The general non-voting membership can be open to
anyone who wants to join. This is the preferred method because I have
personally witnessed many high school Bible Clubs being taken over by
liberals who do not believe in the Bible or other non-Protestants--in
other words, the Bible Club becomes ecumenical. A student who is
not a conservative Protestant/Evangelical should not take this as an
insult. (I was a former Catholic--who became a born-again Christian
while in high school--and I do encourage Catholic high school students
to join a Protestant Bible believing club.) If one has a Catholic Club, a Jewish Club or a Muslim Club and the leadership/officers elected are true-blue Protestants, then the club is no
longer a Catholic Club, a Jewish Club or a Muslim Club. (See the
link for a more detailed explanation.)
Help for writing a Constitution and Statement of Faith
I have written a Constitution and Statement of Faith that a high school
student can download. A few comments on the Constitution and
Statement of Faith:
- The "Voting Membership Statement of Faith" is very detailed--however, it is broad enough to allow a conservative Protestant Bible believing Baptist,
Reformed Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Pentecostal, etc. to be
an eligible "Voting Member" and "Officer".
- The "Non-Voting Membership Statement of
Faith" is a brief statement that should be promoted by the
club for "Non-Voting" members to accept--it
is not
mandatory to accept the statement of faith for general membership in
the club
because the student would be a "Non-Voting" member.
- The "Constitution" is required by the school and spells out the
purpose of the club, qualifications of the members, student
leadership, etc.

Many high school officials are not Constitutional attorneys and
probably do not understand that the law allows Bible Clubs to have
restrictions on membership. If you are a high school student and the
school denies you a Bible Club or will not allow membership restrictions
, please contact the following Christian law firm:
Should Christian High School students witness and engage the
culture?
Yes, all Christians should be engaged in apologetics in their day to day
witnessing. Christians have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to be
Christ's witness bearers (Matt. 28:19, 20; Acts 1:8)--one aspect of
witness bearing is the task of apologetics. God wants every believer to
be "competent to defend the Faith" (Jude 3).
There should be a desire and concern among true Christians in reaching the Muslims, Jews,
Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists and so on with the Gospel of Christ. Many of the above
mentioned groups only see a false or feminized Christianity being
presented in a pagan, immoral America, which
they think represents true Christianity.
Unfortunately, many of the so-called Christian Churches in America have
been infected with the disease of "political
correctness." Do not allow unbelieving students, teachers or
faculty to intimidate you--engage the "humanist" culture at the school. Write articles in the school paper, join
political clubs, support the ROTC, sponsor speakers and even join or start a
, etc. (Most of NJ high schools at one time had
rifle clubs --
has one.) Do not feminize the Bible Club--this is sin and will chase away the men from joining the
Bible Club. (See
"
link for history on the feminization of the Protestant
church.) Please see the other links on this website to help you defend the Christian worldview and bring glory to Jesus Christ.
Remember: Philosophy and science depend on
the Bible for their validity because all the laws of logic are based
upon the unalterable character of the God who cannot lie (Heb. 6:18)--anytime
the Bible has been investigated empirically and logically, it has been
vindicated. Christianity should be accepted because it is true.
May students distribute literature and share the Gospel on School grounds?
Yes, a high school students' First Amendment rights include the right to distribute Gospel tracts during non-instructional time. High school students can also were shirts communicating Christian messages. (See my "Witnessing" Site.)

Hot Topics for High School Students to contemplate—your worldview will determine what kind of freedoms you will have in the United States and the world. A quote from Dr. Gordon H. Clark (1902-1985), one of the most profound and brilliant scholars, “Christian presuppositions justify civil governments of limited rights, whereas humanistic principles imply either anarchy or totalitarianism.”
[There has been a concerted effort by atheists and other enemies of the United Sates to secularize America—Madalyn O’Hair, who led a successful drive to remove prayer and Bible reading from the schools in 1962, was an atheist and belonged to various leftist groups which served as fronts for the Communist party. She chaired the Baltimore chapter of the Communist organization, Fair Play for Cuba and cultivated many relationships with pro-Marxist individuals and groups. The ultimate goal of the anti-theists is to proclaim their unbelief in God and institute totalitarian socialism. Many atheists will admit they are Communists, leftists, or socialists, who have a political commitment to Marx and Hegel. Materialism (anything that is not material does not exist; there is no soul or spirit essence in man and thus no God) empiricism (knowledge is restricted to those objects that can be perceived by our senses; Democratis (460-360 B.C) was the “Father of Materialism”—everything is made of atoms was his creed) came to define atheism during the Renaissance. Out of materialism came Nazism on the right and Marxism on the left. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) taught that the moral attributes of God; that is, mercy, love and kindness were the source of all decadent “slave ethics”—he called greed and violence “good” and kindness and mercy “evil.” Nietzsche was also an evolutionist who believed in breeding a new master race and the sterilization of misfits—Hitler was an adherent to Nietzsche. Stalin was also an atheist who committed genocide against the Ukrainians—20 million murdered. Many anti-theists want to eliminate or destroy the following: 1. private property; 2. the nuclear family; and 3. religion. The State is supreme.]
For more information on the above topic, see The New Atheism and the Erosion of Freedom by Dr. Robert A. Morey located at faithdefenders.com
Disagreement or an honest analysis of worldviews/religious beliefs in no way implies that a particular race, nationality or culture is superior to another. We are talking about worldviews and a worldview can be superior and true compared to another worldview, which may be false and inferior. All worldviews are not equal! A person can be sincere and still be wrong in his/her worldview.

Important Topics for the Youth that attend an Evangelical Church and why many of the youth (young adults; the Bible teaches that teenagers starting at ages 14 & 15 become young adults and should act like young adults, not wait until they are 35 to grow up) leave the Church after High School (75 to 90%)—if you are not witnessing for Christ and taking a stand for righteousness at your high school, you have to ask yourself, “Am I really saved?” Is the Lordship of Christ being applied to all areas of life? Why are many teenage Christians not evolved in an officially recognized Bible Club at their high school? Most Christians today do not fear God and, as a result, are carnal, weak, mindless and spineless. Many Youth Groups have become baby-sitting centers as a result of the father’s abdicating their responsibility as head of the household and God’s command to teach His children the Word.

An Evening at the Well—Greg Laurie’s group “TheWell”
People pay thousands of dollars for silly conferences on how to reach the youth in America for Christ. One of the most difficult demographic is the 18 to 28 year old singles in Southern California. If you are a preacher studying homiletics and wondering where you can learn to be effective in ministering to young people in a postmodern context, then save the thousands of dollars and listen to this track for free and hear for yourself the message that Dr. Morey gave to Greg Laurie’s group “The Well” at Harvest Christian Fellowship. Young people at this event told us that for many of them this was the most monumental and epic event in their Christian life! Dr. Morey tried to end the message after preaching on 2nd Ephesians for over an hour. Listen to the hostile crowd yelling at him to keep preaching and forget about the clock! 1 CD

College Calvin, now a preparatory school for the Swiss Maturite. The most celebrated American historian, George Bancroft, called John Calvin [(7/10/1509—5/27/1564), one of the greatest Protestant Reformers] "the father of America," and added: "He who will not honor the memory and respect the influence of Calvin knows but little of the origin of American liberty." To John Calvin and the Genevan theologians, President John Adams credited a great deal of the impetus for religious liberty (Adams, WORKS, VI:313). This document includes a justification for rebellion to tyrants by subordinate government officials; this particular justification was at the root of the Dutch, English, and American Revolutions. www.keepandbeararms.com

- Hempfield Area High School has its own Rifle Range & Rifle Club (Spartan Rifle)—an excellent model for high schools to follow. Yes students can start a Rifle Club and/or Hunting Club in high schools (contact NRA Foundation below for help); however, most high schools will not build their own Rifle Range. In the 1950’s & 1960’s most New Jersey High Schools had Rifle Clubs. The Rifle Clubs have been a great blessing for the students and country. It teaches safety, marksmanship and respect for firearms use and is important for Homeland Security. I know an older gentleman who attended a very large high school (Brooklyn Technical High School) during the late 1950’s & early 60’s and would carry his .22 caliber rifle on the New York City Subway legally with an ammunition can to the high school and leave it in the classroom! Brooklyn Technical High School had a rifle range and rifle club—this is when the schools taught that there are absolutes and God was the one who determined right and wrong. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights were worth fighting for. (Hunterdon Central High School in Flemington, NJ years ago would close the school on the 1st day of hunting season.)

Start a Political Club at High School
Yes, students can form a political club at high school such as a the National Teen Aage Republicans (TARS) or a Constitution Party, etc. Students should try to influence both major parties (Democrats and Republicans) and other third parties to put the Constitution, Bill of Rights (which includes the 2nd Amendment) and country first. Unfortunately, both major parties have been heavily influenced by the one-worlders, secular humanists, and free-traders (Karl Marx supported free-trade) who do not believe in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. (For a list of different political parties, see below.)
Take the test: "How would God Vote?"—PDF
Links to Various Political Parties that can Help with Starting a Club (NJIAT does not endorse any political parties, but does encourage citizens to analyze the different parties positions from a Constitutional and Biblical worldview and try to change any unconstitutional or unbiblical positions taken by the various political parties, if possible—sometimes a person might have to leave a political party if most of those policies endorsed are against God and country).
Search Bills, Voting Records and who is donating to the politicians
Sometimes a citizen has to vote for the lesser of two evils; however, if a Christian or non-Christian votes for candidates who have sold out to humanistic and anti-God positions, this is sin and not applying the Lordship of Christ in all areas of life (see my Politics/Voting, Constitution, Global Warming, Militant Lifestyles and Personal Finance/Economic Issues links on this website for further information on these topics).

What is a Rockefeller Republican or Democrat?
In 1964, Senator Barry Goldwater, a conservative who did not fit the establishment mold, managed to get the GOP presidential nomination. Not only did the Democratic Party work against him, but his own party also worked against him—Nelson Rockefeller, a New York governor and leader of the liberal (secular humanist) establishment wing of the GOP, helped to sabotage Goldwater’s campaign. As a result, Barry Goldwater lost the 1964 election to Lyndon Johnson (Democrat), another big liberal (humanist) who plunged America into the Vietnam War. [It should be noted that President Ronald Reagan [Republican (1981-1989)] rejected the Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party, although he had to work with, promote some of their policies and appoint them to various positions—the reason you have some of your legal rights in the U.S. are a direct result of President Reagan appointing a strict-constructionist judge to the Supreme Court (Justice Antonin Gregory Scalia; Justice Clarence Thomas—another great judge-- was appointed by former President George H. W. Bush), the signing into law the Equal Access Act to cure anti-religious bigotry by some public school officials, and so on.]
Modern humanists/liberals do not believe in the historic understanding of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and thus the historic meaning of freedom of religion—in other words, you can believe what you want, but cannot practice it or teach religion (Biblical Christianity) to your children!
[It should be noted that the NJIAT President is not promoting a conspiracy theory, but only pointing out that if true conservative Republicans, Democrats or third party members do not participate in the primary election and general election then the humanists will control the party’s platform and policies—there will not be a one-world government and one-world religion until the very end when Satan will be allowed to send strong delusion with miraculous powers (2 Thessalonians). We only have small attempts by one-worlders to manipulate things—there are groups and foundations (see Civic Organizations link for book titled Foundations of Betrayal) that are trying to undermine this country, Constitution and Bill of Rights and those individuals controlling such groups or foundations should be tried for treason.]
What are the policies of a Rockefeller Republican or Democrat?
They are internationalists, one-worlders, so-called free traders (promoting unfair trade with other countries at the expense of U.S. manufacturers, which is destroying the blue-collar workers and the middle-class—the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), that was signed into law by President Bill Clinton (Democrat) on 12/08/93 and took effect on 01/01/94, is one example of unfair trade that has caused production to move out of the U.S. for cheap-labor countries like Mexico and China--who think the United States should not be sovereign and we should adhere to the World Court and international law instead of our own Constitution.
What positions and laws should the Republican, Democrat & Third parties support and not support?
Both major parties should not be promoting or legislating wickedness such as civil unions, gay marriage, gay adoption, abortion, androgyny [ (Rom. 1:26-27); cross-dressing is even condemned (Deut. 22:5)], hate crime laws (a code word for silencing different opinions or restricting or outlawing religious freedom that has already occurred in Canada and many parts of Europe), anti-2nd Amendment laws (the right of self-defense) against law-abiding citizens, anti-military, anti-family [mocking the father’s headship in the family and male’s headship in the church—the early church did have women deaconesses and elders (mature women/spiritually mature—1 Timothy 5:9-13, Titus 2:3-5, the presbutidas-i.e., women elders); however, the women elders discipled the young women and were under the authority of the male elders and had no authority over the men in the church and were not pastors], oppression of widows, orphans, etc. (James 1:27), exploiting the wage earner/advice to the rich (James 5:4-5), persecuting the Boy Scouts, laws against drilling for oil in our own land, appointing activist/humanist judges who do not believe in the original intent of the Constitution, global warming laws (based on pseudo-science), uncontrollable/unsealed borders with rampant illegal immigration, etc.
Nations will be judged by the Almighty God of the Bible on their anti-Biblical laws legislated in addition to the rejection of the Messiah—
“For all the nations have drunk from the wine of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her. The merchants of the earth have become rich from the power of her luxury. Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you don’t participate in her sins and suffer from her plagues. For her sins are piled as high as heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Do to her as she herself has done. Give her double for her deeds. Mix a double drink for her in the cup she mixed.” [Revelation 18:3-6 (ISV).]
A nation’s culture reflects its worldview (beliefs, values, morals, etc.) A culture is judged on the basis of its laws, which are codified beliefs, values, and morals (Jeremiah 6:22-23; Titus 1:12-13). Pre-Christian Greek and Roman pagan cultures codified anti-biblical laws supporting infanticide, abortion, child abuse and rape, suicide, incest, murder for entertainment, etc. These laws were changed after the Christians became involved in the culture-forming process in the Roman Empire. There are no secular/sacred, nature/grace (Thomas Aquinas), mind/matter (Plato), form/essence (Aristotle) and phenomenal/noumenal (Emmanuel Kant) dichotomies taught in the bible—Christ is Lord over all of life as taught by the Bible and Reformation, which believed in sola scriptura (special revelation) in deciding truth, morals, justice and beauty. Yes, all of life is under the Lordship of Christ—all of life is religious and there is no secular realm. Unfortunately, Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274 A.D.) embraced Aristotle’s philosophy [although his intention was to defend Christianity] and the return of the dichotomistic thought of “Essence/ Form” that became “Grace/Nature”—reason vs. faith, which was renamed “nature” and “grace”; some things were true according to reason and some things were true according to faith. This is not Biblical. The real debate is between “special revelation” vs. “human reason”, “experience”, etc. in determining truth—one cannot have absolutes without a sovereign God.
(In other words, it was an attempt by the Greek philosophers to reconcile the contradictory philosophies of pre-Socratic philosophers Parmenides (6th-5th century B.C. and “The Father of Rationalism”), which taught:
- Reality is what you think it is (human autonomy, ontological thinking)
- Being is static and eterna-does not move or change, no such thing as rust
- Reality is perfect
- There are no particulars-the car is not separate from the parking lot
- The crippled guy is an illusion; this is what Hinduism--whose origins can be traced to a systerious tribe of Europeans called the Aryans, who invaded and conquered Northern India between 1500 BC and 500BC (the light skinned Brahmins of Northern india claim to be their physical and spiritual descendants)--Zen Buddhism, Shristian Science Church teach; that is--there is no evil, there is no pain, there is no death, reality is am illusion, etc. and,
Heraclitus (6th-5th century B.C. and "The Father of Empiricism" and "Skepticism"), which taught
- Knowledge is related strictly to the senses-it comes by way of the senses (touch, teste, smell, hear and feel)
- Knowledge is reduced to things experienced from the five senses
- No such thing as being
- Everything is changing(in flux)-nothing remains the same
- Change is real; permanence is an illusion1
1Dr. Robert A. Morey, “The Ancient Philosophers,” A Modern Day Apologist, A Collection of Classics 1972 to 2007, 35th Anniversary Anthology (Christian Scholars Press) pages 271-283. <www.faithdefenders.com >
[For further information on Greek philosophy (Natural Theology), see the Apologetics link on this website. Apostle Paul was hostile and caustic towards Greek philosophy, “See to it that no one enslaves you through philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8, ISV).]
Both Parmenides and Heraclitus’s philosophies were failures and all subsequent philosophies thereafter except Biblical Christianity (special revelation). Absolute idealism does not correspond to experience, which is the final test. Pour hot water on an idealist who says there is no pain and you will discover there is pain. Also, if every thing is one, perfect, and all is God, where did evil come from? Senses are not trustworthy either and hence you end up with no knowledge. Individuals (adhering to empiricism) are assuming that only thru your senses you can have knowledge and they realize you cannot have certain knowledge because one’s senses can be unreliable like looking at an oar in the water—to be certain there that there is no certain knowledge is self-refuting
Aquinas opened the door for secular humanism to take over politics, ethics, science, Western philosophy, art, and theology in Europe and America. This is why the secular humanists want to root out all sacred symbols from our society such as “In God we trust” on our coins. Also, American Christians developed an inward focus on personal piety—as a result of the Fundamentalist-Liberal debate in the 1920’s--to the exclusion of any concern for the culture-forming process. (This extreme separationism was in clear violation of Apostle Paul’s explicit statements in I Cor. 5:9-13.) It is sad that many so-called Christians in the 21st century would not know a Christian World and Life View if it bit them on the “ASS”.

What about U.S. Citizens who have different faiths?
It is in the best interest for any U.S. citizen no matter what their religious background is (Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Skeptic, Jew, liberal Protestant, Catholic, etc.) to vote for candidates that stand for a biblical worldview mentioned above because it will guarantee your religious freedom and rights granted to you under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Promoting secular humanism (man is the measure of all things and there are no absolutes—everything is relative) and voting for humanist politicians will guarantee the elimination of your freedoms and bring judgment on this nation! A quote from Charles Dickens in 1845 about the Protestant Swiss canton influence on economics and politics between nations:
On the Protestant side, neatness, cheerfulness, industry, education, continued aspiration after better things. On the Catholic side, dirt, disease, ignorance, squalor and misery. I have so constantly observed the like of this since I first came abroad, that I have a sad misgiving that the religion of Ireland lies at the root of all its sorrows.
Note: The 1960’s hippies (which were called by some of the Sheriff’s Officers, who worked in the Hunterdon County jail located in NJ in the 1960’s & 70’s, “simple-minded hippies”—the county jails were under the Sheriff’s Dept. at that time) who promoted so-called love (unauthorized nooki before marriage & other forms of immorality) over war did not understand the definition of love. Love rejoices in truth according to the Apostle and the word “truth” defined biblically is used in its ethical sense of “righteousness according to God’s law.” It means “Right or True living” (1 John 1:6; 3 John 3, 4).
What about the State’s authority over citizens? A summary extracted from The Encyclopedia of Practical Christianity, page 504, by Dr. Robert A. Morey about the State’s authority over citizens:
- All authority resides in God(Dan. 4: 28-37, Matt. 28-18).
- All human authority is delegated authority, which means God will hold the person or institution accountable to Him for how they used their authority (Rev. 20: 11-5)
- No person or institution has absolute or intrinsic authority by God (John 19: 10-11)
- God's delegated authority is only valid to leaders according to scriptural guidelines and functions within Scriptural limitss.
- The Scriptures recognize four (4) sovereign spheres of authority
- Church (1 Thess 5:12-13, Heb. 13:17 ,24 etc)
- State (Rom. 13: 1-7; 1 Pet 2: 13-17 etc)
- Family (Eph. 5:22-29; Eph. 6: 1-4, etc)
- Business (Eph. 6: 5-9; 1 Pet. 2: 18-19, etc)
The spheres might interact with each other, but should never invade each other in order to take authority which God delegated to the different spheres. One example, the State should not be dictating to the church what it can preach or believe in—the State has delegated and limited authority by God in Scripture (Rom. 13::1-7).
Note: A legitimate government (per Bible) could be a Constitutional Republic, Parliamentary Republic, Monarchy, etc. However, a civil government becomes illegitimate and tyrannical (per Bible) when it takes control of all life. Examples of tyranny in a government when its leaders controls or denies the following:
- Freedom of religion;
- Free speech;
- Lawful assembly;
- The right of self-defense (not allowing ownership of firearms--gun confiscation or very restrictive control);
- Private property, etc.
This is why a foreign policy of promoting Democracy is a farce. This country (USA) is a Republic and not a Democracy. Democracies usually will not work in other countries such as the Middle East unless the society adopts a Biblical Protestant/Calvinist worldview. Otherwise the citizens of a country will elect leaders who will deny those rights that the United States enjoys because they are electing people based on their worldview—our government should be promoting or demanding the above mentioned rights are granted to citizens of every nation as basic human rights, not that they have a Democracy. Western Europe, Australia and Canada are Democratic nations, but this is what has happened in these countries:
- Persecuting people of the Christian faith (Germany arrested Christian parents for home schooling their children);
- Hate crime laws (silencing free speech such as religious teachings against homosexuality);
- Canada, Australia and Sweden have already arrested Christian pastors for speaking out against homosexuality and other religions;
- Japan is a police state;
- Confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens that want to protect themselves from criminals or an evil government (in Africa, Western and Eastern European countries millions of innocent citizens have died because of gun confiscation—see 2nd Amendment link on website) and so on.
Wow, Democracy has really brought freedom in these secular humanist nations! Of course, it is better than communism (an evil system), but Western Europe is heading towards or is already an anti-God, socialist police state because they have rejected Biblical Protestant Christianity.
