“The Christmas Story”

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

“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 →

“Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?”

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. 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. Continue reading →

“We, the People, Must Preserve Marriage”

A journalist by the name of Heine, warned in the 1830’s what would happen in Germany if Christians did not stand strong in their walk and work of the Gospel of Christ. He warned:

“Christianity – and that is [Germany’s] greatest merit – has somewhat mitigated that brutal Germanic love of war… Should that subduing… [cross] be shattered, the frenzied madness of the ancient warriors … will once more burst into flame.

“This [cross] is fragile, and the day will come when it will collapse miserably… (Remember, he’s saying this 100 years before Hitler’s rise to power) Then the ancient stony gods will rise…and smash the…cathedrals.”

(The History of Religion and Philosophy in Germany, 1834)

Heine also warned:

“Where they burn books, they will also burn people.”

We now see the burning of books in the academic realm as Biblical ideas are more and more shut out of that realm. Continue reading →

“Will Governors Preserve Marriage?”

Posted on December 3, 2014 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Listen to or download this week’s radio program:

Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against marriage in the summer of 2013, we’ve seen many of the State Marriage Amendments, which defined marriage as being between a man and a woman only, declared unconstitutional by national courts. These rulings not only ignore the right of the people within their states to define marriage, they fly in the face of Biblical moral law which defines marriage as being between a man and a woman only. These judges “fear not God, nor regard man” (Luke 18:4).

So what do we do when we have a disordered national court system? We must do what the Bible teaches by the principle of interposition: We must appeal to our state governments to come “in between” our national government and the people. This is what Jehoida, the Priest, Daniel, and Queen Esther did to fix disordered government. We must fervently urge our state Governors, who have full authority to stop this attack on marriage, to do so. Not only do they have full Constitutional authority to stop this overthrow of state law, they have a responsibility to do so! They have taken an oath to uphold both their state Constitutions and the national Constitution. It is their duty to stop these renegade judges!

Maybe you’re asking where we get this idea. When Peter and James were told by the government authorities of their day to speak no more in Jesus’ Name, they spoke this principle when they stated, Continue reading →

“Who Must Lead the Reformation”

What will it be like when liberty is gone in America? What will it be like when you can’t tell your children about your faith in Jesus for fear that they might innocently repeat it, be reported to social services, and then be taken away from you? You think that can’t happen in America? This is satan’s main design with the push for homosexual law. And what has caused us to get to this point of nearly losing our liberty? As humbly, yet as honestly as I know how to say it: It’s because our Pastors have backed out of the realm of civil government. We’ve lost the Biblical understanding of it, thus God’s people have been taught by our example—and sometimes by our words—to stay out of government. Yet, this is so different from Biblical examples of government leadership.

Ezra, the Priest, understood fully the role a spiritual leader should take in restoring a nation. Notice what he did. The Bible records in Ezra 7:10,

“For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord, and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel.”

Ezra not only studied the moral law summed up in the Ten Commandments, he began, “to teach [God’s] statutes and ordinances in Israel”. That is, he began to teach civil law in Israel as a part of his spiritual call from God. Continue reading →

“Who Should Steward Civil Government”

A hundred years ago, who would have ever believed Christians in America would be fighting for the right to keep homosexuals off our church staffs; or that we’d be having to try to protect our children from transgenderism in our schools? What happened to our nation that was once known as the most moral on earth? Can I be “gut-level” honest with you? We as church leaders lost the Biblical understanding of education, business, and civil government. And when we moved out of those God-ordained institutions, satan moved in!

Our Founding Fathers knew the importance of teaching the Biblical understanding of these institutions. This is why they planned an extra meeting on Thursday afternoons, at which the local Pastor would teach about current events in light of the Scripture. By this method they created a nation which had a Biblical view of every major area of life. They knew if the Biblical view of education, business, and civil government did not permeate a nation satan’s view would. If we don’t return to this Biblical view of the world, we will shortly live as slaves to a dictatorial government.

But why should we, as Christians, learn about civil government from our churches? Well, ask yourself this question: Who created civil government? As in all questions, the Bible has the answer. Continue reading →

“God’s Pattern for Restoration – Part 2”

In 1984, during a lull in our ministry, I was earnestly asking the Lord, “What am I supposed to be doing in life? What is your plan for me?” He graciously led me to Isaiah 58:12 and let me know His plan for me and my family was in this verse. This verse says,

“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.”

From that time, I knew our family was to be part of a generation which He would raise up to “rebuild the age-old foundations”. As I researched the writings of America’s Founders, I found those “age-old foundations” which enabled them and their children to build the freest and most prosperous nation in world history. The truths on which they laid this foundation were drawn directly from the Bible and that is why they worked in this world. Only God’s order works in a society to bring the best to the greatest number of citizens. Continue reading →

As we look at the state of our nation today it can make the righteous heart sick. Moses warned us what would happen if we rejected the Words of the Lord as our guidebook for families and governments. He warned,

“But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes (civil laws) which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee…”

(Deuteronomy 28:15)

And yet He promises that His Word will still work if we return and do what it says once again. He promises,

“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou…shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey His voice according to all that I command thee this day…with all thine heart…That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.” Continue reading →

“An Enemy We Dare Not Ignore”

On September 11th, 2001, President Bush told us that the Moslems are a peace-loving people. He was probably trying to prevent a backlash against the Moslems in this country, some of whom, no doubt, were not for the destruction of 3000 lives by our terrorist attackers. However, in stating that Moslems were a peace-loving people, he started a misunderstanding that could well be the undoing of this nation.

To state that Muslims are peace-loving is to leave the impression that Islam is “sort of” like Christianity. Christianity teaches us that we are not to try to force the will of others and insist that they believe as we do. Islam is completely opposite to this. The Koran, the Muslim “holy book”, states plainly that if unbelievers in Allah, their god, refuse to convert to Islam, they are to be killed. This means Christians, Jews, Hindus, or anyone else of a different faith, have no right to live on this earth unless they are willing to convert to Islam. Thus, we must expose what Islam really is- for you cannot defeat an enemy you’ve not identified. Continue reading →

“Islam IS a Threat”

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Listen to or download this week’s radio program:

Recently we’ve been horrified and sickened with the reports of gruesome beheadings in Iraq and Syria. The so-called ISIS army is proudly claiming responsibility for these deaths, proudly proclaiming that they are doing this in the name of allah, their god of Islam. So is this what Islam is? Are we being rudely awakened to see in actuality what Islam is? Or is Islam “peace”, as George W. Bush claimed?

In the 600’s in Arabia, a man was visited by an angel—Gabriel, he thought—and believed he was shown the true way of salvation. That man: Mohammed. The religion he started: Islam.

But the religion he started was not the true way of salvation. Islam greatly disagrees with the Bible in the fact that Jesus is not accepted as the Son of God. This lets us know that Mohammed’s angel was not Gabriel, but rather satan “transformed into an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11: 14-15). And since satan comes “to steal, to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10), it comes as no surprise that Islam forces captives to convert to Islam. The Koran actually says to kill those who do not accept Islam as the true religion. Continue reading →
