We are living amidst a significant social and moral decline in the West. Western civilization, with its origins decidedly shaped by a Biblical worldview, has progressively rejected the principles upon which it was built. With this rejection of Truth has come cultural decline. We are now living amidst the moral and social ruins of Western civilization.
Our aim is to provide resources to educate, encourage, and equip individuals, families, and organizations to apply a Biblical worldview to all aspects of life. In doing so, the Palatine Institute seeks to “repair the ruins” of our civilization from the roots up—helping families display the Glory of God first at home and then to the entire world.
This means we are a deeply Conservative organization, but what do we mean by that? What exactly are we building and conserving?
