God so used one man, Patrick of Ireland, in the 400s to so change Ireland that it would be a base from which the Gospel would be carried to the ends of the earth in that day!  Patrick led thousands to Christ in Ireland.  He started over 700 churches in twenty-eight years!  He trained and set apart 700 bishops and 3000 ministers to further disciple the people who had come to Christ.  He started training centers to equip believers to carry the Gospel to their own—and to the world.  And Patrick understood something we’ve lost:  That is, the institution of civil government was God’s institution and must operate by His truth, the Bible, if it is to fulfill its purpose of protecting God-given rights of life, liberty, and property.  He reformed (reshaped) Ireland’s governments to agree with Biblical principles.  This is exactly what we need in America today!

Patrick’s disciples would carry to the world this Biblical message of reshaping cultures through Christ.  They confronted the Barbarians, who were over-running Europe at the time, and neutralized with the Gospel of Christ their savage destruction.  Indeed one historian believed Continue reading →

The Bible tells the story of Nehemiah, the civil leader who rebuilt Jerusalem after the Jews had been captive many years in Persia. In a time when the enemies of God had been trying to discourage the Jews from finishing the work God had called them to, Nehemiah exhorted them:

“…Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and [awesome], and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” (Nehemiah 4:14)

The spiritual and natural enemies of the Gospel of the Kingdom of Christ have been trying for a hundred years to discourage Americans from knowing their history. They knew if they could disconnect us from our past, they could steal from us the reason God birthed this nation; which was to be a vessel of liberty by which to take that Gospel to the world. It only takes one generation who doesn’t pass on the story of America’s founding, and the hand of God in it, to Continue reading →

“Why America Declared Independence”

In declaring our Independence from England, were our Founders rebels, pushing against God-ordered government? Or were they revolutionaries, re-establishing God-ordered civil government? It’s way past time we again considered the twenty-seven reasons they listed for declaring Independence. They stated:

Why America Declared Independence 1

King George III

“The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

“He has refused his Assent to Laws…wholesome and necessary for the public good.

“He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance…

“He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature…

“He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual…for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

“He has dissolved 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.

“Covenant Is the Basis of Our Nation”

Covenant Is the Basis of our Nation 1

When the Pilgrims came here in 1620, they had learned some things that recent generations have had stolen from them.  For instance, they had come to understand that the basis of the government is covenant.  No state can exist very long if its citizens are not in covenant with each other.

The word covenant is defined as “a meeting or agreement of minds”.  The minds of a people living under a particular government must be in agreement on the basics of life if they are to be able to walk together throughout the generations.

They must agree about Who God is, and who He says they are, and what His plan for them is, both as individuals and a nation.  Without this agreement, education, commerce, and government just become Continue reading →

“Why Flag Day?”

Why Flag Day 1

Recently one of the churches in our community held a special meeting on Flag Day, June 14th.  They honored the United States Flag, “…the Republic for which it stands…”, and the soldiers who have defended that Republic.  Our original Continental Congress approved the basic design of our Flag on June 14th, 1777, which is why the day has been set aside as a day to honor our Flag.

I remember being taught the importance of our Flag as a child by my Dad and Mom.  Dad was a World War II veteran and had a great love for our country.  The public school I attended likewise taught us respect for country and the Flag which represents it.  We saluted the Flag and pledged allegiance to it every morning.  This is rarely done now as the emphasis through the education system is on nations coming together in a one-world government.  We were taught the Biblical understanding that:

“God hath made of one blood all nations of men…and appointed…the boundaries of their habitation.” (Acts17:26, emphasis added)

Now most children don’t even know the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.  Let’s carefully consider this pledge in an effort to Continue reading →

The Deceptive Equality Act 2

The most dangerous piece of legislation to ever come out of the U.S. House of Representatives is now in the U.S. Senate awaiting a hearing.  It is falsely named The Equality Act, but should be named The Religious Liberty and Free Speech Death Act!!  It has been pushed as the expansion of civil rights, identifying with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  But expansion means including sexual orientation and gender identity as a civil right.  The practical implications are devastating!

It would mean churches and Christian schools could be forced by the Courts to hire sodomites and so-called “transgenders” as staff workers.  This would mean they could teach a compromised message which they would claim was in the Bible.  They might even try to cast Jesus as a homosexual.  What would that do for your children and grandchildren?  Those who teach the Bible as absolute truth could Continue reading →

When God created Israel’s civil government, He commanded Moses:

“…thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers…” (Exodus 18:21)

Thus, God gives us His qualifications for government servants.  I believe Kentucky Governor, Matt Bevin, has fulfilled these qualifications better than any governor in my lifetime of sixty-nine years.  While certainly not a perfect man, he’s done remarkably well at fulfilling this command.  Only the socialists who hate him scream otherwise:  As if they could put forth a perfect man.

Governor Bevin has proven himself to be an “able” man:  Leading the Kentucky Legislature to draft and pass some eight Pro-Life bills.  No other Kentucky Governor since abortion was “legalized” has Continue reading →

Recently three different Pastors told me of disgraceful incidents in which Kentucky Governor, Matt Bevin, had difficulty in speaking to a group because of “hecklers” in the crowd he was addressing.  In one of those incidents, the media reported the Governor just had to leave the stage without being able to say hardly anything.  Another Pastor told me he was saddened and embarrassed by people in his community whose language toward the Governor was certainly not civil, let alone Christian.  But the third experience was almost beyond belief.  At a Pro-Life rally in Frankfort, Kentucky’s Capitol, again there were “hecklers” who rudely spoke up to interrupt the Governor’s remarks.  These “hecklers”, who claimed to be representing the teachers of Kentucky concerning the pension plan crisis here, were asked later why they would interrupt such a solemn gathering, the aim of which was to save children from being murdered in their mother’s womb.  Their weak answer was that they didn’t know it was a Pro-Life rally.  Yet, there were banners and signs all around which made it plain to everyone what this gathering was.  This is simply uncivilized behavior in the civil realm!  I’m only glad to say I do not believe that this kind of behavior is approved of by most of the teachers in this state.

We should have very strong feelings concerning political issues; because they Continue reading →

Recently, students in an Oklahoma High School walked out in protest to school administrators because—school was too difficult?  No!  Because male students were being given free access to girls’ bathrooms!  This was being allowed because these boys were “confused” about their gender.  Many pleas by students and parents to school administrators had gone unheeded.  So, the students decided to take matters into their own hands, in the hopes it would get enough press coverage to expose this ridiculous policy!  On that thought:  If “unconfused” students would ban together, walk out of the classrooms, and steadfastly refused to go back until girls’ bathrooms were completely closed to males, guess what would happen?  Do not school districts have to have students present to collect the tax funding from their state?  If half the students were continually absent, guess what school boards would do?  They would find a way to protect girls in their bathrooms!  Money talks with a loud voice in most all school districts.  Think About It!

But is the effort to protect what is mistakenly called “transgenderism” what this battle is really about?  Absolutely not!  That’s the new color satan has Continue reading →
