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 →

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 →

Should I Vote- 1

With the election only a month away, the candidates are fervently pushing their agenda, trying to convince us we should trust them with the future of our children.  That is what’s at stake, you know.  They promise us ‘all will be well’ if we give them our vote.  But with all the lies politicians have told us throughout our lives, why should we even bother to vote?  Well, the last two generations, many have decided not to.  We now think we’ve had a good voter turnout if 50% of those registered to vote get to the polls.  Not to mention the huge numbers who haven’t cared enough to even register.  How sad!

Why has this happened?  Since the 1920s most of our universities 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 live for pleasure are Continue reading →

Socialism Has Failed in the Past 1

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 →

“Socialism Defies Christianity!”

I remember hearing someone say many years ago that the early Christians lived by socialistic principles in the way they took care of each other. While that person may have been sincere, this is ignorance personified! In Acts 2:44 the Bible does say that the early believers “…had all things common…” But that in no way supports the idea that they operated as socialists. The early followers of Jesus chose to share their belongings with the other believers. They weren’t forced to do it by government mandate. They weren’t taxed by government and then had redistributed to other believers their goods. No! Out of the love of the Lord Jesus, Who lived inside them, they chose to give to their brothers and sisters in Christ what they needed. There’s a huge difference in those two ideas concerning how you meet the needs of the poor.

Socialism Defies Christianity 1Socialism and Christianity do not mix! Karl Marx, the father of modern day socialism, knew this. Concerning his goal to establish communism, he listed his first goal as being…

“To dethrone God…”

(Agenda: Grinding America Down, Curtis Bowers, 2010)

Socialism, and its ultimate goal, communism, will not mix with Christianity. To try to mix them is like trying to mix oil and water. You might stir them up together; but when everything settles they will have divided off into two completely different entities. People who say they are Christians and want to mix socialism and Christianity either do not know the Lord at all, or they are so shallow in Him they know very little about how God thinks; which means they have never read very much of the Bible.

The socialistic principle of, “everybody getting free everything” goes 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 →

“What Is Socialism?”

What is Socialism 1 While fifty years ago a political candidate who would have openly embraced socialism as his political philosophy would have spelled his doom, today it’s becoming much more accepted due to the multitude of Socialists professors in America’s universities. They teach our young adults from a socialist perspective, and many, if not most, of those young adults come to think socialistically. Now they are running for office—and some are winning!

Why is this upsurge in socialism occurring? I believe it is mainly because we don’t understand what socialism really is. satan has always worked in the darkness; and it is in this region of ignorance that tyranny begins. So let’s TURN THE LIGHT ON SOCIALISM. Let’s take a REAL look into it and its operations.

By definition, socialism “is Continue reading →

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.

Why Did Americans Fight for Independence 1

On April 19th, 1775, seventy-five American farmers faced an overwhelming force of some 600 British professional soldiers. The Americans were out-manned, out-gunned, and out-trained. And when the first shots were fired, nine of the Americans fell dead. Why were they willing to face such overwhelming odds? Were they dreamers? Were they crazy? Were they men of such noble ideas that they were willing to die for them? While they were all these things (except crazy), they had an even greater reason for resisting the King of England. They believed they were obeying the God of the Bible with their resistance. Their Congress had stated:

“Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian…duty of each individual…Continue steadfast, and with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly…defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us.”

(Massachusetts Provincial Congress. 1774, in a resolution. George Bancroft, Bancroft’s History of the United States, Vol. X (Boston: Charles C. Little & James Brown, 3rd Edition, 1838), Vol. VII, p. 229 | Peter Marshall and David Manuel, The Glory of America (Bloomington, MN: Garborg’s Heart’N Home, Inc., 1991), 8.31.)

When our ancestors defended themselves on Lexington Green, and later much more successfully at Concord Bridge, they believed they were walking in a principle of liberty taught in the Bible.

When God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, he told him to “keep it”; that is, to Continue reading →

Is America a nation birthed by God?  Well the Bible says all nations are birthed by God:  In Acts 17:26 the Bible says,

“[God]…hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined…the bounds of their habitation;”

Let’s learn about it from the book, Why God Birthed America…

“God’s plan had not changed, even though man had left the good beginnings brought about by Jesus’ death, resurrection, ascension, and outpouring of His Spirit into believers.  Still yet, God had not given up on His dream of man being a vessel through which He could live His life.  And He was about to Continue reading →
