The Pilgrims - Overcoming the Hard Times 1Forefathers Monument, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is dedicated to the memory of the Pilgrims:  Specifically to the memory of, “…their labors, sufferings, and sacrifices in the cause of civil and religious liberty.”  One of the five statues which make up Forefathers Monument is Morality.  This statue reveals the Pilgrims desire to live conforming their actions to the Bible.  They demonstrated how Christ could live His life through us if we were surrendered to Him as a living Master.  And that was true in hard times as well as good times.  Their story shows us this reality—even in the most difficult circumstances.

When they came together in a church covenant in 1605 to: “…walk together in all His ways…whatsoever it should cost them…” (Bradford, William. Of Plimoth Plantation), it would cost them dearly.  Several times over the next three years, English deputies would burst into their worship meetings, hauling the men off to jail; fining them and keeping them locked up for thirty days.  This cost them financially because they were unable to work their farms during those times.

When they moved to Holland in order to have the religious freedom to teach their children the ways of Christ, they were Continue reading →

But Why Did The Pilgrims Come 1

The Pilgrims landed in America nearly 400 years ago.  But do you know why they came to America?  Was it to start a new life?  Well, yes; but what kind of life?  Was it so they could be free?  Well, yes; but what kind of freedom were they looking for?  Because most of us don’t know the answer to these questions is why we continue to accept—or even vote for—more and more of the slavery from which they were fleeing.

Perhaps you would say, “They came here for religious freedom.”  And you would be right—but, what kind of religious freedom?  Did they come merely so they could sing songs to God and study the Bible in their own gatherings?  No, they came with a much broader desire than that.

You see, the Pilgrims understood they must be able to Continue reading →

The attacks on Governor Matt Bevin here in Kentucky have been relentless:  And for what?  Because he is trying to fix Kentucky’s failing pension plan for state workers.  Those attacks have come mostly from the Kentucky Education Association and their allies, the major media outlets here in the state.  Why would they do this?

To understand what’s happening in Kentucky and across the nation with the rise of socialism, you must understand the history of the National Education Association and its state affiliates.

The NEA was founded in 1857 with Continue reading →

“Obey God: VOTE!”

Obey God- VOTE- 1In the 2016 election, 39% of registered voters did not even go to the polls to vote.  And Christians did no better than the national average:  40% of Evangelicals did not go to the polls.  Think how this reveals the selfishness in us.  Our lack of voting says, “We don’t care what kind of government our children have to live under.”  And with that attitude, in time a dictator is certain to take over the government and force our children (and perhaps us) to live under cruel laws which will oppress all who disagree with him.  Do we want to face God at the Judgment with that on our record?  Think about it!

Why has this happened?  Since the 1920s most of our universities and media have been teaching that there is no God and life is all about us, and our pleasure.  Without knowing that the God of the Bible created us in an instant of time, we have no association with Him, which means we have no reason for self-worth, or for committing our lives to worthwhile tasks.  We simply “live for the weekend” as many put it.

This spills over into the governmental realm.  People who Continue reading →

“Will We Commit to the Lord’s Side?”

Bryan Fischer is one my most favorite policy analysts in America.  He is a born-again believer, a conservative, and “straight-shooting” about the political realm we now have in America.  He had very wise and revealing comments concerning the process of Judge Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court.  I want to quote him extensively in today’s message.  Fischer writes,

Will We Commit to the Lord’s Side 1“Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court despite vicious, cruel, and slanderous opposition represents a high water mark in American politics.  It represents the victory of order over chaos, rationality over insanity, and the rule of law over disorder and violence.  It represents the victory of the Constitution over anarchy, the victory of a republican form of government over democracy – which is just another name for mob rule – and the victory of Jesus Christ over [satan] in the unseen world.

“The spiritual warfare directed against Judge Kavanaugh was 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.  Other conservatives have been attacked physically lately by people who are socialists:  Ted Cruz and his wife at a restaurant; Congressmen trying to board airplanes.  The left has 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.  More people have Continue reading →

We should carefully take in the words of the Father of our country, George Washington. In his first inaugural address he stated words of such wisdom that they should sober and inspire every one of us who are Americans. If heeded, they will inspire us to become an instrument in the hands of Almighty God for the good of our children and the entire earth.

Just after Washington took the oath of office to defend and uphold the newly written Constitution of the United States, he spoke these words of wisdom:

“We ought to be no less persuaded that the…smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained;…the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as…perhaps finally, staked [with] the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people…”

(Tim LaHaye, Faith of Our Founding Fathers (Brentwood, TN: Wolgemuth & Hyatt, 1987), pp.63-64, 107)

Let’s look carefully at Washington’s words, since they Continue reading →

“The Real Aim of Socialism”

California is the state in this nation that probably has the most socialism at work in its state government.  To see the effect of such full-blown socialism you need look no further than Bill 2943 which passed both Houses of California’s legislature this year.  The bill would have outlawed the sale of any literature which offered hope that a homosexual could be set free from their sexual bondage.  Many were concerned that this would ultimately ban the sale of the Bible in California.  While God worked a miracle to stop the bill at the last moment from becoming law, this experience shows what the real aim of socialism is:  That is, the hindering of the flow of the truth of the Bible in a society.

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 →
