We are in the midst of a constant war that defines everything about us—whether we know it or not!  The Bible states,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places…” (Ephesians 6:12)

Recently, Tony Perkins (President of the Family Research Council) wrote of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s warning that we have been infiltrated by large numbers of communists in this nation.  And before you regurgitate what the liberals have taught us to say at such an idea—that is, that this is the raging of some “right-winged fundamentalist”—consider that this is the United States Secretary of State talking to a group of forty Governors of our states.  And from all I can find out, Mike Pompeo is a committed Christian who lives out that commitment in his office each day.  And frankly, I think it is a “breath of fresh air” to hear the one whose responsibility it is to guard our national security being so honest.  It’s been long overdue since no previous Secretary of State in over fifty years has done it.

Morality- Education’s Foundation 1

Is it possible to actually educate unless you teach what is moral and what is not?  And how can you define morality outside the Bible?  Would not morality just be based on a person’s own thoughts.  Couldn’t it be argued that morality is what the individual thinks it is?  Isn’t this what has happened?  Could this be why so many do not know why they are alive?

There has to be a reason for everything we do.  Human beings simply cannot stay focused and achieve anything without knowing why they are doing what they are doing.  For more than eighty years, the majority of those who have written our textbooks and planned our education curriculum have not known the reason we are alive.  And if we don’t know why we’re alive, how could we ever possibly prepare children to live?  If we don’t know why we’re alive, then who’s to say what is important in life?  Who can define right from wrong?  How can there possibly be any direction in the classroom when there’s no direction in the life of the author of the education system?

This was once clearly understood in America.  William Holmes McGuffey was known as the “Schoolmaster of the Nation”.  His McGuffey Readers sold Continue reading →

The Two-Pronged Attack on Liberty 1

In the early 1920s a group of pseudo-intellectuals planned how they could take over the Western world, and the U.S. in particular, establishing a communist form of government and economy.  They developed a two-pronged attack which was brilliant.

The first thing they planned to do was take over the movie industry.  Though it was then in its very young stages, they recognized its powerful potential for shaping the minds of people.  Leon Trotsky, one of the group, identified the power of the cinema when he said,

“This weapon, which cries out to be used for political propaganda, cuts into the memory and may be made a possible source of revenue to fund the revolution.  We’re obliged to make amusement a weapon of collective education.  The cinema competes with the Church.  This rivalry may become fatal for the Church.  The cinema liberates you from the need of crossing the church door.  Here is an instrument that we must secure at all costs.”

(Hollywood’s Greatest Villain; Seminar by Geoffrey Botkin; Western Conservatory)

Thus said Leon Trotsky, early 20th century Communist leader.

Vladimir Lenin, the Communist leader who established the Soviet Union in Russia, stated Continue reading →

It may have been Abe Lincoln who said,

“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”

(Lincoln, Abraham. Attributed. Herald Star (Steubenville, Ohio, 1984) | Stephen K. McDowell and Mark A. Beliles, America’s Providential History (Charlottesville, VA: Providence Press, 1988), p. 79; (4th printing, 1994), p. 95 | Karen Morgan, People of the Past (Historical Presentations, P.O. Box 426, Cortland, Ohio, 44410, (330) 638-8606))

Perhaps no statement better summarizes the direction life in this world will take.  Since the word “govern” means “to control”, what happens in government is going to determine the boundaries you and I walk in during our brief stay on this earth.  Lincoln correctly reasoned that whatever goes into the mind will show itself a generation later in the type of government that is ruling.  Whatever is good in government; attribute that to the education of the previous generation.  Likewise, whatever is bad in government, lay the blame for that at the feet of the education system of the previous generation.  And to think of it, I can’t think of very much that’s good in our governments today.  Oh well, ‘if the shoe fits, wear it’!

The Bible taught us this principle long before Abe Lincoln related it to education and government.  It says, “Be not deceived, God is not mocked.  Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7).  God has built an unchangeable law into this universe that teaches everything is the fruit of a previous thought and action.  It’s inescapable.  That being so, shouldn’t we carefully consider what we are putting into our children’s minds?  In our day information comes at our children in many ways:  Music, magazines, movies, TV, friends.  Information through friends, however, is the most important to young people according to the surveys.  This could make school the most important thing in our children’s lives, for that is Continue reading →

“The Must of Biblical Education”

A leader among America’s Founding Fathers made the following statement about education:

“We have a dangerous trend beginning to take place in our education…We’ve become accustomed of late of putting little books into the hands of children containing fables and moral lessons…We are spending less time in the classroom on the Bible, which should be the principal text in our schools…The Bible states these great moral lessons better than any…manmade book.”

(Ames, Fisher. September 20, 1789, in an article published in the Palladium magazine. | D. James Kennedy, The Great Deception (Fort Lauderdale, Florida: Coral Ridge Ministries, 1989; 1993), p. 3.)

The Must of Biblical Education 1

Thus spoke Fisher Ames, the Founding Father who authored the wording of the First Amendment to the Constitution. Could this Founder have possibly wanted the “separation of church and state” idea that liberals now use to remove the Bible from schools?

But to continue with our thoughts on education: Since education teaches children how to think; and since, in the next generation, those thought processes become Continue reading →

Whoever Gets the Mind Gets the Nation 1Benjamin Rush was a Signer of the Declaration of Independence.  He was also the Father of America’s original public schools—schools that were controlled by parents, and NOT the state.  Benjamin Rush made this statement about the education of children:

“Let the children…be carefully instructed in the principles and obligations of the Christian religion.  This is the most essential part of education.”

(Rush, Benjamin. 1787, A Plan for Free Schools. David Barton, “America, God Shed His Grace on Thee” (Garland, TX: American Tract Society, Box 462008, Garland, Texas, 75046; 1994), p. 4.)

Noah Webster, the Father of America’s original education method—the one that made us the greatest nation on earth—said these words:

“Education is useless without the Bible.”

(Webster, Noah. “Our Christian Heritage”, Letter from Plymouth Rock Foundation (Plymouth, MA: The Plymouth Rock Foundation), p. 5.)

How has America been changed from the nation of Biblical thinking it once was?  It’s because of the clash of two completely opposite “worldviews”:  One Biblical; one “man-centered”.  We have lost, with humanistic (that is “man-centered”) education, the ability to reason.

When we left “God-centered” education, we lost the “sowing and reaping” principle.  That happened because we Continue reading →

The little boy tugged at the young man’s coat sleeve. “How far is it to America?” he asked, “Will we soon be there?” “No, lad,” the man replied, “It will take many days to cross this huge ocean.” The little boy gazed briefly across the ocean to the west. Then, unaware of the risks of such a voyage, he ran to find his friend to tell him this ship, the Mayflower, would be their playground for a long time. The young man continued to gaze across the vast ocean. His thoughts drifted back twenty years—to the time he had first met these people he was now a part of.

He remembered the wonderful meetings they had in their homes in England. For the first time in his life he had felt accepted, really accepted. These people were genuine, somehow he just knew it. Though others were saying this group were bigots who thought they were the only ones who were right and that they had “gone off the deep end” with their religion, he knew the truth. These people were real. They people didn’t claim to be perfect. They readily admitted that they too were capable of selfishness. But the unique thing about them (that so set them apart from those who were against them) was that they had entered into an agreement to help each other not give into selfishness by letting their friends point it out to them. And the way they did it seemed safer to him than living the way his relatives did. Because they recognized their own bent toward selfishness, they didn’t trust their own thoughts alone. They had agreed to compare their thoughts about another member’s actions to what the Bible said about those actions. Those who were critical of them certainly didn’t Continue reading →

“Explaining Socialism”

What is Socialism 1It is just hard to believe that we have so many Presidential candidates that are openly embracing socialism! While fifty years ago a socialist political candidate couldn’t get to “first base”, 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—even the Presidency!

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 →

Why Mass Shootings- 1

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 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.
