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.

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 →

It may have been Abe Lincoln who said,

“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”

(Lincoln, Abraham. Attributed. Herald Star (Steubenville, Ohio, 1984) | Stephen K. McDowell and Mark A. Beliles, America’s Providential History (Charlottesville, VA: Providence Press, 1988), p. 79; (4th printing, 1994), p. 95 | Karen Morgan, People of the Past (Historical Presentations, P.O. Box 426, Cortland, Ohio, 44410, (330) 638-8606))

Perhaps no statement better summarizes the direction life in this world will take.  Since the word “govern” means “to control”, what happens in government is going to determine the boundaries you and I walk in during our brief stay on this earth.  Lincoln correctly reasoned that whatever goes into the mind will show itself a generation later in the type of government that is ruling.  Whatever is good in government; attribute that to the education of the previous generation.  Likewise, whatever is bad in government, lay the blame for that at the feet of the education system of the previous generation.  And to think of it, I can’t think of very much that’s good in our governments today.  Oh well, ‘if the shoe fits, wear it’!

The Bible taught us this principle long before Abe Lincoln related it to education and government.  It says, “Be not deceived, God is not mocked.  Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7).  God has built an unchangeable law into this universe that teaches everything is the fruit of a previous thought and action.  It’s inescapable.  That being so, shouldn’t we carefully consider what we are putting into our children’s minds?  In our day information comes at our children in many ways:  Music, magazines, movies, TV, friends.  Information through friends, however, is the most important to young people according to the surveys.  This could make school the most important thing in our children’s lives, for that is Continue reading →

“What Is, and Why Is, There an Impeachment?”

What Is, and Why Is, There an Impeachment 1What is, and Why is, there an impeachment going on in Washington, D.C.?

Noah Webster was probably the greatest scholar of the English language which the world has ever seen.  In his 70,000-word American Dictionary of the English Language, which he published in 1828, he defined the word impeachment like this:  It is,

“An accusation or charge brought against a public officer for maladministration in his office…In the U. States, it is the right of the House of Representatives to impeach, and of the Senate to try and determine impeachments.”

What does the U.S. Constitution say about impeachment?  Article II, Section 4, of the Constitution gives us these few words about impeachment:

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

What do these few words mean?  Perhaps the best way to understand them is to define them from Webster’s 1828 Dictionary; since that dictionary was written in the generation of our Founders:  Thus, its definitions were the common understanding of that day.  Definitions of words have been Continue reading →

God Warns of Judgment Because of Abortion 1

Since January 22nd, 1973 we have killed over sixty million of our own children.  That number is near 20% of our total population in this country.  And don’t be fooled by the political rhetoric; only 1% of those killings had anything to do with rape, incest, or the mother’s life being in danger.  99% of this murderous holocaust has been done because these children were thought to be an inconvenience!  What heights of selfishness we’ve now reached!

Not that our Congress, the voice of the people, ever legalized it!  It was the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 that illegally declared abortion legal:  It was because we, in the church, sat by and griped, instead of getting involved in the voting process identifying lawmakers who supported such a hideous crime, and replacing them with our votes.  The God Who made us and to Whom we will give a full account of our earthly deeds, is not blind to these hideous murders of children; or our refusal to get involved to stop it.

God warned His people in the days of Jeremiah that their nation would Continue reading →

“The Must of Biblical Education”

A leader among America’s Founding Fathers made the following statement about education:

“We have a dangerous trend beginning to take place in our education…We’ve become accustomed of late of putting little books into the hands of children containing fables and moral lessons…We are spending less time in the classroom on the Bible, which should be the principal text in our schools…The Bible states these great moral lessons better than any…manmade book.”

(Ames, Fisher. September 20, 1789, in an article published in the Palladium magazine. | D. James Kennedy, The Great Deception (Fort Lauderdale, Florida: Coral Ridge Ministries, 1989; 1993), p. 3.)

The Must of Biblical Education 1

Thus spoke Fisher Ames, the Founding Father who authored the wording of the First Amendment to the Constitution. Could this Founder have possibly wanted the “separation of church and state” idea that liberals now use to remove the Bible from schools?

But to continue with our thoughts on education: Since education teaches children how to think; and since, in the next generation, those thought processes become Continue reading →

“Whoever Gets the Mind Gets the Nation”

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 →

“Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?”

Why Did Jesus Come to Earth 1

During the Christmas season, much is said and sung about Jesus coming to earth.  Many love the warm, gentle thoughts of a little Baby being born and having His birth announced by angels.  But how many actually ever ask the question:  Why did Jesus come?  We can only answer that from the Bible.  Because, even though there is historical evidence that Jesus did live in Palestine in the first century, the only revelation to be found concerning why He came, is to be found in the Bible.

Jesus, Himself, declared His reason for coming in Luke 19:10; there He stated,

“…the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

But what does lost mean?  To understand that, we must first understand why God made man in the first place.

God said concerning the creation of man:

“…Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…over all the earth…”

It was God’s intent that we should “look, live, and rule” in this earth just as He does in heaven and in earth.  To do this God, Himself, would have to come to live inside us, and through us, look like Himself, live like Himself, and rule like Himself.  So God gave us a choice as to whether we would let Him come to live in and through us in this world.  We chose to Continue reading →

“The Christmas Story”

Ladies and gentlemen, the following story is why we have Christmas:

The Christmas Story1 “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away [privately]. But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for…he…shall save his people from their sins.’ Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.’ And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.” Continue reading →
