“Which Education For Your Child?”

Posted on September 2, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Recently I learned that 3 Christian schools in our town were now full to capacity. This increase is an encouraging sign for our area. I hope it indicates that parents may be waking up to what the real effect of humanistic education is—confusion. The battle over whether men can be in women’s bathrooms is now rampant. It is irrefutable evidence that when you leave God out of the education curriculum and methodology the end result is confusion! The Bible names the world system “Babylon”. The word Babylon literally means “confusion” (just one more time when the Bible is proven to be exactly right!). Because we have, more and more, left Biblical education in the last 80 years, we are reaping the confusion we’ve sown in America.

We simply must recognize that there is an all-out war against Christianity in our culture—and that it is been happening much longer than most realize. In 1934, John Dewey, the father of our current education system in America, wrote of his hatred for Christianity. He stated,

“Will A Wall Stop Illegal Entries?”

Posted on August 26, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

The Debate continues over illegal immigration. The socialists in Congress, and their supporters, don’t want a wall. The reasons they put out front is that it’s unfair to deny needy people entrance to our nation; and a wall won’t work anyway. But are those the real reasons they want open borders? Consider their arguments just mentioned: If we’re going to admit people just because they are needy, then the whole world will be standing at our door. Few nations on earth have anything like the lifestyle Americans enjoy. Most of the world is needy compared to this nation!

Their talk that, “a Wall won’t work” is just that—TALK! A recent example of how well a Wall does work to keep out illegals is the nation of Israel. David Rubin, the former Mayor of the city of Shiloh in Israel, told Fox News that,

“…from 2010 to 2012, some 55,000 illegal immigrants came…through Egypt into Israel. In a tiny nation like Israel, he said, ‘that’s a lot,’ [and] the result was that crime rocketed…where they settled…Israeli officials finally agreed to build [a] wall…and in 2016, there were only 11 illegal immigrants who entered Israel through that route…A year after…the Israeli government made security improvements to the wall and increased its height…and now, Rubin contends that the wall is virtually impenetrable by illegal immigrants…‘[T]here was not [one] illegal immigrant that made it through the southern border – not one,’ Rubin [said], referring to last year.”

“Fixing Our Educational Mess”

Posted on August 19, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

John Dewey—the father of the present educational system in America—stated in his book, Living Philosophies (1930),

“There is no God, there is no soul. Hence there are no needs for…traditional religion…truth is dead…There is no room for fixed natural law or permanent moral absolutes.”

(Biblical Solutions to Contemporary Problems, R. Walton, p. 136)

With such ideas being the foundation of modern education, is it any wonder “Johnny can’t read”; and drugs, immorality, and suicide are epidemics in America’s public schools? In spite of the effort of many Christians who teach in our local schools, the devastation worsens each year. Is there any hope for public education in America? Yes! But the road back will be one of the most difficult things ever tackled.

The root of America’s education problem is that it has left the Biblical method of education. How can the Bible be restored as America’s “basic textbook in all fields”, as Noah Webster said? Only by returning the control of the public school to the local community. This means cutting it completely loose from all tax support! Get the state and federal governments out of it! Let the local community completely control it by funding it through voluntary donations. Then—and only then—will the quality of education go up again.

Will most people want to do that right now? No. So I believe some preliminary steps must first be taken.

“The Real Reason For ‘Red Flag’ Laws”

Posted on August 13, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Once again, mass shootings have brought on the call for more gun control; as if the gun was inherently evil. By the way, wonder why we don’t hear from the media the many, well-documented, instances where a gun was used to stop an attacker? Anyway, this time the solution put forth are the so-called, “Red Flag” laws. These laws would supposedly identify a mentally unbalanced person before they committed the hideous act of a mass shooting. It sounds good. But like so many other idealistic ideas put forth by the socialists, it simply cannot work in a fallen world. Man’s selfish nature, what the Bible calls sin, just won’t—indeed it cannot—work perfect solutions to problems.

Questions like, who is going to determine just who is mentally unbalanced? What process will be used to separate him from his gun? What treatment will be applied to cure him of his insanity? These are just a few of the unanswered questions swirling around this emotional search for how to stop mass shootings.

But let’s look beneath the emotional surface at WHY these “Red Flag” laws are being proposed. The truth is, in the natural realm, Red Flag laws would be a great tool aiding the socialists in overthrowing our Republic. But in the spirit realm, they are satan’s tool for destroying the church by locking away church leaders by accusing them of insanity. Thus, satan’s constant effort to keep the Gospel from flowing to the next generation would be helped immensely.

“Why Mass Shootings?”

Posted on August 5, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Mass shootings seem to be escalating. And while the political pundits always try to pin the blame on their political enemies, the truth is the numbers of shootings have been increasing no matter which political party is in power. The news media, psychiatrists, and talk show hosts, have tried to answer the question, “Why do tragedies like this occur?” And, as usual, most of them aren’t even close to the right answer. But there is a simple, “root” reason for things like this occurring; and it’s found only in the Bible.

The Bible explains that because of our refusal to allow the life of God to enter us in the Garden of Eden, so we could be a channel of the life of God in this earth, we received a “sin principle”. That is, a root of sin that colors the thinking of all who do not walk with Christ. It produces the attitude: “I want what I want when I want it.” This causes a man to lash out at others when he doesn’t get what he wants, when he wants it. This attitude is the foundation of all the political philosophies in the world—except God’s original plan for government revealed in the Bible.

It becomes obvious, contrary to the way the secular media tries to spin it, that the root thinking of mass killers is against God and the Bible. With every shooting, we have another example of the wrong thinking producing the wrong actions. Jesus identified this principle when He stated:

“Codifying The Pilgrim Vision Into National Law”

Posted on July 30, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

America’s Founding Fathers believed the Bible is true and works in this present world. They proved this by the structure they gave to this nation and by the spirit of morality they taught must be in that structure for it to function as it was designed. Neither were they hesitant in expressing this. They wanted their children to understand where this nation, that was becoming the envy of the world, came from.

By miracles in the Revolutionary War, a basically Biblical government was re-established in America. And, over the next eleven years, they would work with that government to make it better. The end product, our national Constitution (written in 1787 and approved by the states by 1789), was no less of a miracle. Many of our Founders would speak of the miracle that brought our national Constitution into being. George Washington would acknowledge God’s hand in that Constitutional Convention in a letter to his good friend, Jonathan Trumbull, then Governor of Connecticut. He wrote,

“…we may, with a kind of pious and grateful exultation, trace the Finger of Providence through those dark and mysterious events which first induced the States to appoint a general Convention, and then led them one after another…to effect the…adoption of the system recommended by that general Convention; thereby in all human probability laying a lasting foundation for tranquility and happiness…

“Biblical Living: Our Only Security”

Posted on July 23, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Across America there is a growing desperation. Older citizens fear for what their grandchildren are going to face. Parents fear that their children will experience the violence of a street gang, or rapist, or satanist: Or they fear their teenage daughter may turn up pregnant. With more and more young people using drugs, parents fear their child may get hooked too. Young people fear that their parents may be the next to divorce. People are asking, “Is there anything in this world that is stable?!”

There is an answer to that question! A resounding answer: “YES!!” And you might be surprised to know that, in the past, there have been those who’ve known this stability. The Founding generation in America walked in this stability. And though they were beset with war, economic woes, and having to build a new government in the midst of all this, they still knew where the “Rock” was. They constantly turned to Jesus Christ and His Word as “the stability of their times”. They believed “His Word was truth”, as the Bible taught (John 17:17). They lived out the reality of the Scriptures as they sought to obey it in their personal lives and built it into their institutions. Daniel Webster spoke of them and their faith when he stated:

“The Ideas Which Made America Great”

Posted on July 16, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

One of the men who helped to found our nation, but is almost completely unknown today, was Noah Webster. He wrote our first dictionary, a work of twenty years in the making, which he published in 1828. He published his Blue Backed Speller, which sold millions of copies over the following 100 years. It was an entire learning course compacted into a small book, which the pioneers used to educate their children. In 1832 he published his History of the United States and included a “brief exposition of the U.S. Constitution” because he wanted young people to know early that our nation was a republic, not a democracy; and that our Founders got the ideas for its purpose, structure, and spirit of operation from the Bible. Keep in mind that when he uses the term republican, he’s not talking about a political party, but rather a particular form of government.

He stated it this way:

“The brief exposition of the constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government; and it is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament…”

(Webster, Noah. History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), pp. 273-274, 300, paragraph 578 | Verna M. Hall, The Christian History of the American Revolution (San Francisco: Foundation for American Christian Education, 1976), p. 10.)

This day in time we really need to look back and see the Hand of God in our history in this nation. Let’s review a segment of our history that is not commonly known.

While the Pilgrims and Puritans were establishing themselves in New England, a giant step toward human liberty was occurring in Scotland. In 1638 the King of England was trying to force Roman Catholicism on the Scots. For years the Scots had been more and more throwing off this yoke, and they were not about to submit to what they believed were satanic rituals that would plunge them back into the slavery of the “dark ages”.

Thus, they came together in a covenant (which means the meeting of minds) vowing to fight to the death to refuse Catholic tyranny in their churches and civil government. Over 3,200 people signed the original document—many signing it in their own blood—saying we will die rather than live as slaves to a government that won’t submit to the moral law of God.

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.
