Recently I was with a friend at a magnificent overlook of some of our Eastern Kentucky mountains.  A park system sign stated that this deep gorge had been formed over millions of years as the river ran through these mountains.  What an unscientific explanation for such an astounding piece of creation!  But it’s typical of what our children are being taught everyday through the public-school textbooks and the secular media.  This plan is designed to separate us from our Creator—and thus, our accountability to Him.  And yes, there are those who say they believe it because it deceptively helps the Judgment to seem unlikely; and some of those are knowingly working to change our whole nation to a “secular” (i.e. “without God”) way of life.

The thing they don’t understand is that this is a scheme of satan to keep us from discovering God’s real plan for us—and how He uniquely put us together to be able to Continue reading →

“Columbus Defended”

Columbus Defended 1“In 1492, Columbus sailed the Ocean blue.”  Thus, children in America learned the little rhyme which firmly fixed in our minds who was responsible for the American continents being discovered.  The last two generations haven’t learned that because some in what is called “higher education” circles didn’t want us to know who Columbus was.  Many in those circles came to be ashamed of Columbus’ God because they were convicted by the mentioning of the Name of Jesus.  Since Columbus was a devout man and often mentioned God and Jesus Christ, they tried to remove him from our history.  Now that war against his name has reached new heights.

A statue of Columbus in Binghamton, New York, had the word “murderer” painted on it.  In New York City, Columbus’ statue in Central Park was vandalized.  The New York City mayor’s, answer to that was to appoint a commission to consider which historical monuments should be removed!

I remember Rich DeVos, Betsy DeVos’ father-in-law, saying Continue reading →

Are We Slaves of Socialism- 1

Do we Americans live in the land of the free; or the land of political slavery?  Political slavery, or socialism, means that the few who administer civil government tell the rest of us what to do.  To determine if we live in political slavery:

  • Ask a parent if they can spank their child without fear of the government removing the child from them;
  • Ask a school teacher if they can choose their own curriculum;
  • Ask a physician if they can choose the type of medicine, therapy, or hospital, by which they care for their patients;
  • Ask a business owner if he can operate without first consulting government as to his location, pay for employees, and tools he uses;
  • Ask a church if they can building a building, or parking lot, without first asking government about septic systems, phone taxes, employee taxes, fire prevention restrictions, etc.;
  • Ask an individual how long he works each year just to pay the government what he is taxed. Let me answer that one for you: 30% of their work year!!

President Ronald Reagan warned us,

“Government that is big enough to give you everything you want is more likely to simply take everything you’ve got.”

(Speech given at St. John’s University in New York, March 28, 1985)

The Bible teaches Continue reading →

Why This in America- 1

Not since the 1960s have we seen anything like the rioting in the streets we’ve seen lately.  The wave of the so-called “New Left” thinkers in that era brought that about with their socialist mantra that “America is bad; we can make a perfect world if you’ll let us have control of your lives.”  But two things stopped that socialist revolution in America.  One, we elected a President who gave back to the policemen the right to use force to stop the rioting.  Secondly, God sent a revival that impacted the nation.  That revival brought the focus of many in my generation back to God and His plan for them.  That caused many to see that the anti-God agenda of the socialists, like Saul Alinsky, was wrong—as well as impossible.  As that revival grew in understanding and numbers throughout the 1970s, Christians would go to the polls and elect Ronald Reagan as President in 1980.  President Reagan would do much to stem the tide of socialism that had been sweeping the country in the sixties.

But most Christians, being ignorant of God’s plan for civil government, placed our governmental hope in the President, and we went Continue reading →

The Bible says, “Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” (Galatians 5:1)

Ladies and Gentlemen: The following document is the reason you and I, in America, are free:

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The Underlying Ideas of American Independence 1

The time had finally come. After twenty years of growing government interference into the affairs of the American Colonies, the patience of Americans was exhausted. The Representatives of America had appealed to their British King and the Parliament over and over during those twenty years, and had only been insulted for their efforts. Over and over the King had treated their appeals with disdain. Finally, Thomas Jefferson would sum up the attitude of the majority of Americans when he wrote in The Declaration of Independence,

“A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

The final break with England began on March 16, 1776. The Continental Congress, representing each of the thirteen colonies, called upon the American people to observe a day “of fasting, humiliation, and prayer”. The Congress stated Continue reading →

Pastors Taught America’s Founders 1

To any honest, diligent student of history it is obvious that the generation of America’s Founders was one of (if not the) wisest generations that ever walked this earth. The Republic they gave birth to would rival the greatest nations on earth after only fifty years. Many political thinkers would come here just to try to find the secret of the genius of this Republic. Since then, probably more people have, of their own free will, immigrated here than to any other nation on earth; which shows us the greatness of what they created.

Where did America’s Founders get this kind of wisdom? Who taught them as children and young people in such a way so as to produce the greatest nation in world history? It was Continue reading →

Whoever Gets the Mind Gets the Nation 1Benjamin Rush was a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was also the Father of America’s original public schools—schools that were controlled by parents, and NOT the state. Benjamin Rush made this statement about the education of children:

“Let the children…be carefully instructed in the principles and obligations of the Christian religion. This is the most essential part of education.”

(Rush, Benjamin. 1787, A Plan for Free Schools. David Barton, “America, God Shed His Grace on Thee” (Garland, TX: American Tract Society, Box 462008, Garland, Texas, 75046; 1994), p. 4.)

Noah Webster, the Father of America’s original education method—the one that made us the greatest nation on earth—said these words:

“Education is useless without the Bible.”

(Webster, Noah. “Our Christian Heritage”, Letter from Plymouth Rock Foundation (Plymouth, MA: The Plymouth Rock Foundation), p. 5.)

How has America been changed from the nation of Biblical thinking it once was? It’s because of the clash of two completely opposite “worldviews”: One Biblical; one “man-centered”. We have lost, with humanistic (that is “man-centered”) education, the ability to reason.

When we left “God-centered” education, we lost the “sowing and reaping” principle. That happened because we Continue reading →

Is America a nation birthed by God?  Well the Bible says all nations are birthed by God:  In Acts 17:26 the Bible says,

“[God]…hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined…the bounds of their habitation;”

Let’s continue to learn about it from the book, Why God Birthed America…

“God’s plan had not changed, even though man had left the good beginnings brought about by Jesus’ death, resurrection, ascension, and outpouring of His Spirit into believers.  Still yet, God had not given up on His dream of man being a vessel through which He could live His life.  And He was about to Continue reading →

When Fathers and Mothers, and Teachers in school do not live by and teach the Bible to children, they give away the liberty of a nation.  The end result:  The people of the nation become slaves to a dictator.  Noah Webster, the premier educator of our early Republic, summed it up like this:

“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”

(Webster, Noah. 1832. The History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), p. 309, paragraph 53 | Webster, Noah, The American Dictionary of the English Language (NY: S. Converse, 1828; reprinted, San Francisco: Foundation for American Christian Education, facsimile edition, 1967), preface, p. 22.)

Let’s continue the story from the book, Why God Birthed America…
