If you were satan, and you saw a large part of your kingdom coming down, wouldn’t you resolve to call out all your forces and concentrate them on that particular group which was working to advance God’s kingdom?  That’s what I believe he did about this time 400 years ago.  A little band of Englishmen had so discovered what it meant to know Jesus Christ, and to walk with Him in this present world, that they were satan’s “greatest nightmare”.  They weren’t wealthy or, for the most part, very well educated by the world’s standard.  But God had given them pure hearts; hearts in which, by the cleansing of the blood of Christ, He himself had come to dwell.  Christ had found a welcome will in those hearts; a will through which He could release His own will, and accomplish His purpose of getting out the message of what He’d done by His life, death, resurrection, ascension, and the outpouring of His Holy Spirit into men on this earth.  Christ could feel at home among them because their agreement (or covenant as the Bible calls it) with God had caused them to enter an agreement with each other to:

“…walk together in all His ways, made known, or to be made known, whatsoever it should cost them, the Lord assisting them.”

It was this covenant with God and one another that would Continue reading →

Love Your Enemies- But STAND Against Them- 1Celebrate a Veteran this week!

On October 8th, 1918, an Army corporal from the mountains of Tennessee did an amazing thing while fighting in World War I.  Alvin York, a shy young man, who didn’t even want to go to war, performed so well in the line of duty he would later be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.  York, who had been converted to Christ after being known as a “hell-raiser”, struggled with going to war because Jesus had taught that we should be peacemakers.  However, he finally reasoned from the Bible that, as he would say,

“If a man can make peace by fighting, then he is a peacemaker.”

His patrol was moving behind German lines who were ‘dug in’ within deep trenches.  The Germans discovered York and his troop, and opened fire.  The American patrol was pinned down and York would later report that the bushes all around him were shot to pieces, yet he was miraculously spared.  At great risk to his life he worked his way around the hillside where he could see the Germans entrenched above his men.  With his Tennessee sharp-shooting skills he began to pick off the German soldiers one at a time, until he had single-handedly killed twenty-five of them; and silenced thirty-five machine guns!  He then Continue reading →

“Keep Praying Over This Election!”

Keep Praying Over This Election- 1We have just witnessed perhaps the hardest fought campaign in the history of Presidential elections.  And, at the time of this writing, the winner has still not been legally declared.  So what do we, who are committed to Jesus Christ, do now?  Number one, we continue to pray:  More on that in a moment.  Secondly, we learn the hard lesson—and admit it—that we have to change the way we are educating our children.  The fact that socialists (which means, God-hating) people can come so close to taking over our government should drive us all to our knees, crying out to God to show us why we’ve let liberty come so close to extinction—to show us why our children are turning to socialism!

The answer to the second question is quite simple.  When you look at the map of the nation and see which counties voted for more conservative candidates and which counties voted for socialist candidates, you find that, generally speaking, the densely populated areas voted for socialists, while the less densely populated areas voted for conservatives.  Why do the densely populated areas vote for socialists?  It is because these cities are where the universities are located.  It is the universities that are the hotbed of socialism!  And as long as we are going to send our children to those universities and support them with our tuition payments and our endowments, they are Continue reading →

Elections Have Consequences- 1

We’ve just witnessed what happens in Senate confirmation hearings when God shows up.  We have seen what can happen when a genuine God-fearing individual is nominated for a high position in government.  Many Republicans, as well as Democrats, said that Amy Barrett was too religious to get through the confirmation process and be seated on the U.S. Supreme Court.  But she never wavered in her confession of Jesus Christ as her God.  Most in government were schooled in the idea that you must not show much attachment to Christianity, or you’ll be too radical to be elected or appointed to government.  We’ve bought this lie for a hundred years now; and our nation has gone steadily downhill!  She didn’t.  She sought, “…[sought] first the kingdom of God and His righteousness…” and she had “…added unto [her]” all she needed (from Matthew 6:33).

In 2016, we elected a very conservative President who has Continue reading →

“Socialism Works Death!”

Socialism Works Death- 1

The Bible says,

“…Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy name.” (Psalm 138:2)

If God has magnified His Word above all His name, then He most surely has exalted His Word above everything in this world!  Every individual and institution must be judged by the standard of His Word.  If that standard is refused, deception—which brings death—will permeate that individual or institution.  Everything, and everyone, must be judged by the Word!

satan attacks the Word, and anyone and anything who can be a carrier of the Word.  He attacks man because man is made in “God’s image” (from Genesis 1:26).  He attacks institutions because they are all designed to carry the Word.  You see:

  • The Home teaches the Word to the next generation.
  • The Church teaches the Home to teach the Word to the next generation.
  • The Civil Government protects, by law, the right of the home and church to teach the Words of God.
  • Education, whether in the Home or elsewhere, is designed to teach the Words of God, and disciple children in walking out the Word in whichever institution God places them.
  • The institution of Business is designed to fund that education process in children; as well as illustrate the absolutes of God through relying on numbers to build and evaluate the business.

Socialism is the system of thought satan has substituted for God’s institutions.  Thus, it is Continue reading →

“Socialism Takes—It Doesn’t Give!”

Socialist politicians are everywhere ranting that all should have free education; free medical care; free housing.  My only question to that is:  “Says who?”  Does God say it in the Bible?  Or is it purely the idea of some man?

Socialism Takes - It Doesn't Give- 1God teaches us that He has given to man a system by which his physical and material needs can be met.  It’s quite simple, but very, very effective.  God releases into us at the moment of conception certain abilities which, if we follow His leading, He will later direct into a calling through which our needs will be met.  A surgeon gets thinking and motor skills which will enable him to remove harmful things and reset body tissue so that God’s natural healing can take place.  An automobile mechanic gets the understanding in his mind and skill in his hands by which to diagnose and repair your vehicle.  God then intends for us to be taught by parents, pastors, and other teachers how to work with those skills to better the lives of others.  They, in turn, pay us for our services, which betters our lives.  God’s Kingdom gets advanced in both parties because each realizes that God’s way works; which encourages faith in God’s Word and His calling in other areas of life.

Socialism works just the opposite of this.  It teaches that, “there are just some people who can’t take care of themselves.”  So we give tax-funded food, clothing, and housing to a few in the beginning.  Then politicians (not statesmen, mind you!) see Continue reading →

At the Judge Kavanaugh swearing in ceremony, President Trump apologized to the Kavanaugh family for the “terrible pain and suffering” they were “forced to endure” through his confirmation process to the Supreme Court.  Despicable things were done against them.  Since then, other conservatives have been attacked physically by people who are socialists:  Ted Cruz and his wife at a restaurant; Senator Rand Paul and his wife on the street.  People on the left have said, “We will come after you…”

(Confirmed: Kavanaugh and the Left’s Intentions, Family Research Council (Washington, D.C., Oct. 8, 2018))

All this venom spewed out by the socialists in America is in stark contrast to how little of this kind of thing happened from the conservative camp when Barack Obama took the Presidency.  Though many of us felt Continue reading →

Mr. Obama endorsed for Congress in the 2018 elections, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a twenty-eight year-old avowed socialist. This clearly reveals where his loyalties lie; not that anyone who understands Biblical government had any doubt.

This push for socialism by many in the political realm is where satan has hoped to bring our nation all along. The Bible teaches that he

“…[comes] to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10)

And socialism is “the greatest killing machine in human history.”

(Agenda: Grinding America Down, C. Bowers (Copybook Heading Productions LLC, 2011), DVD)

Of course, the lie is that, in socialism, you have free services from the government; free education, free health insurance, free medical care, etc. But the reality is it creates death to an economy and physical death to multitudes of its citizens – If you have children listening to this you’ll want to turn it off and go later to our website, heritageministriesky.com, so as to hear the rest of it without them.

“The Real Aim of Socialism”

California is probably the most socialistic state in this nation.  To see the effect of such full-blown socialism you need look no further than the lawsuits pressed by California against Pastor John MacArthur and his church.  They are seeking a court to declare him and his church, Grace Community Church, to be in contempt of court; simply because they have chosen to keep meeting together, defying Governor Newsome’s executive order to the contrary.  They simply choose to “…obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

The Real Aim of Socialism 1Anywhere socialism has gained control, ultimately the Bible becomes an outlawed book. To keep people from hearing God’s plan for them has always been satan’s greatest desire, because,

“…faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” (Romans 10:17)

If satan can keep people from hearing the teaching of the Scripture, he can keep them from turning to Christ. That’s what the warfare in our nation about the teaching of the Word of God in public is all about. Thus, the history of socialism in modern times is a history of the effort to bury the Bible. Hitler did it in Nazi Germany; Stalin did it in Communist Russia; the Chinese Communist government is Continue reading →

We’re hearing a great deal of talk about “socialism” in the political realm these days. In a number of places around the country the Democratic Parties are electing socialist candidates. And while the Republican Parties have not openly embraced socialism yet, many Republicans in government carry out their government duties in a socialistic way. They take tax dollars from a citizen in one part of the country, and spend it for a project in another part of the country. This is the redistribution of wealth by government mandate; which is one of the main tenets of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto. It is socialism.

America tried socialism in the 1600s. The Pilgrims worked Continue reading →
