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 →

Thankful for Biblical Civil Systems 1

In 1623 the Pilgrims celebrated a time of Thanksgiving with their Indian friends, Chief Massasoit and his Wampanoag tribe. The Pilgrims were grateful to God for their Indian friends. The peace treaty into which they had entered helped both peoples to go on with their daily lives in an ordered manner. This is, of course, the purpose of civil law; to protect the God-given rights of life, liberty, and property. When this is done, the resulting order allows society’s institutions to function without the interruption of chaos. The Pilgrims’ Pastor, John Robinson, had taught them that this order flowed from Biblically based civil government, and thus, the first thing they did when they arrived was to write the Mayflower Compact; which instituted this type of government. I believe their new civil government was one of the things they were most thankful for on those first Thanksgiving Days.

And the Pilgrims’ new civil government was working. Their original economic system failed because it was 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.

Love Your Enemies- But STAND Against Them- 1On October 8th, 1918, an Army corporal from the mountains of Tennessee did an amazing thing while fighting in World War I.  Alvin York, a shy young man, who didn’t even want to go to war, performed so well in the line of duty he would later be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.  York, who had been converted to Christ after being known as a “hell-raiser”, struggled with going to war because Jesus had taught that we should be peacemakers.  However, he finally reasoned from the Bible that, as he would say,

“If a man can make peace by fighting, then he is a peacemaker.”

Once committed to his country’s cause, he distinguished himself as an amazing marksman.  That ability would serve him well this October day.

His patrol was moving behind German lines who were ‘dug in’ within deep trenches.  The Germans discovered York and his troop, and opened fire.  The American patrol was pinned down and York would later report that the bushes all around him were shot to pieces yet he was miraculously spared.  At great risk to his life he worked his way around the hillside where he could Continue reading →

What We Can Expect 1

Do you KNOW the Lord?  Do you REALLY KNOW the Lord Jesus?  Is every area of your life surrendered to Him; nothing held back from Him?  Is it all at His disposal to be used in any way He sees fit?  If this is true, then the Lord has a Word for you, right at this point in history.  In Zephaniah 2:3 the Lord says to you:

“Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.”

It would appear we’re going to need this Word in the days immediately in front of us.

So what can we expect this new national government to do?

In the education field we can expect more money to be appropriated to fund programs and curriculum that are very anti-Biblical, and anti-American; and which promotes a socialistic global government.  The message will be Continue reading →

satans Greatest Fear-Then and NOW- 1

If you were satan, and you saw a large part of your kingdom coming down, wouldn’t you resolve to call out all your forces and concentrate them on that particular group which was working to advance God’s kingdom?  That’s what I believe he did about this time 400 years ago.  A little band of Englishmen had so discovered what it meant to know Jesus Christ, and to walk with Him in this present world, that they were satan’s “greatest nightmare”.  They weren’t wealthy or, for the most part, very well educated by the world’s standard.  But God had given them pure hearts; hearts in which, by the cleansing of the blood of Christ, He himself had come to dwell.  Christ had found a welcome will in those hearts; a will through which He could release His own will, and accomplish His purpose of getting out the message of what He’d done by His life, death, resurrection, ascension, and the outpouring of His Holy Spirit into men on this earth.  Christ could feel at home among them because their agreement (or covenant as the Bible calls it) with God had caused them to enter an agreement with each other to:

“…walk together in all His ways, made known, or to be made known, whatsoever it should cost them, the Lord assisting them.”

It was this covenant with God and one another that would 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 →

“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 →

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.

“The Real Aim of Socialism”

California is probably the most socialistic state in this nation.  To see the effect of such full-blown socialism you need look no further than the lawsuits pressed by California against Pastor John MacArthur and his church.  They are seeking a court to declare him and his church, Grace Community Church, to be in contempt of court; simply because they have chosen to keep meeting together, defying Governor Newsome’s executive order to the contrary.  They simply choose to “…obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

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 →
