The Battle for Religious Public Expression 1I noticed the young mother with three children under eight years of age.  A lady in her seventies was pulling her oxygen tank and breathing with a nose-piece.  There were teenagers, middle-age folks, and others.  All had a common goal:  Defend their right to publicly express their faith.  This was their heart cry.  This is why they braved the many miles of snowy roads and the bone-chilling wind here in Washington, D.C.  They had come to the Supreme Court Building to say to the Judges on that Court:  “We want the right of our children to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ acknowledged and protected.”

The Supreme Court was hearing two cases on March 2nd, 2005, which had to do with the Ten Commandments being displayed in public.  These rulings would either stop the advance of anti-Christian forces or greatly encourage them to further strip America of open religious expressions.

Does the First Amendment protect us from exposure to the Bible?  Well let me suggest we do an unusual thing:  Let’s let the Founders speak for themselves!  If you wrote a letter, would you want Continue reading

We are in the midst of a constant war that defines everything about us—whether we know it or not!  The Bible states,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places…” (Ephesians 6:12)

Recently, Tony Perkins (President of the Family Research Council) wrote of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s warning that we have been infiltrated by large numbers of communists in this nation.  And before you regurgitate what the liberals have taught us to say at such an idea—that is, that this is the raging of some “right-winged fundamentalist”—consider that this is the United States Secretary of State talking to a group of forty Governors of our states.  And from all I can find out, Mike Pompeo is a committed Christian who lives out that commitment in his office each day.  And frankly, I think it is a “breath of fresh air” to hear the one whose responsibility it is to guard our national security being so honest.  It’s been long overdue since no previous Secretary of State in over fifty years has done it.

Tony Perkins wrote Continue reading

“Morality: Education’s Foundation”

Morality- Education’s Foundation 1

Is it possible to actually educate unless you teach what is moral and what is not?  And how can you define morality outside the Bible?  Would not morality just be based on a person’s own thoughts.  Couldn’t it be argued that morality is what the individual thinks it is?  Isn’t this what has happened?  Could this be why so many do not know why they are alive?

There has to be a reason for everything we do.  Human beings simply cannot stay focused and achieve anything without knowing why they are doing what they are doing.  For more than eighty years, the majority of those who have written our textbooks and planned our education curriculum have not known the reason we are alive.  And if we don’t know why we’re alive, how could we ever possibly prepare children to live?  If we don’t know why we’re alive, then who’s to say what is important in life?  Who can define right from wrong?  How can there possibly be any direction in the classroom when there’s no direction in the life of the author of the education system?

This was once clearly understood in America.  William Holmes McGuffey was known as the “Schoolmaster of the Nation”.  His McGuffey Readers sold Continue reading

The Two-Pronged Attack on Liberty 1

In the early 1920s a group of pseudo-intellectuals planned how they could take over the Western world, and the U.S. in particular, establishing a communist form of government and economy.  They developed a two-pronged attack which was brilliant.

The first thing they planned to do was take over the movie industry.  Though it was then in its very young stages, they recognized its powerful potential for shaping the minds of people.  Leon Trotsky, one of the group, identified the power of the cinema when he said,

“This weapon, which cries out to be used for political propaganda, cuts into the memory and may be made a possible source of revenue to fund the revolution.  We’re obliged to make amusement a weapon of collective education.  The cinema competes with the Church.  This rivalry may become fatal for the Church.  The cinema liberates you from the need of crossing the church door.  Here is an instrument that we must secure at all costs.”

(Hollywood’s Greatest Villain; Seminar by Geoffrey Botkin; Western Conservatory)

Thus said Leon Trotsky, early 20th century Communist leader.

Vladimir Lenin, the Communist leader who established the Soviet Union in Russia, stated Continue reading
