The Immigration Fix, Part 3 1

The immigration issue in America looms as a very real dividing line for the population of this nation.  Many scream at each other across that line as if their view is the final authority on the issue.  We ought not be surprised at this, since we are allowing our children to be taught through the media, the curriculum, and the education method we use, to think they establish their own “morality” since there are no absolutes.  So where do we look for the truth concerning immigration into a nation?  We must look to the source of all truth:  The Bible.  God is not silent concerning nation building; of which immigration is a part.  Let’s look at what He says.

First, that God gives to nations boundaries is plain from the boundaries HE gives to nations.  Acts 17:26 states:

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

Thus, the people of a nation, through their Representatives in their government have the right to establish a Biblically based method for immigrants to come to their country and become citizens.  This necessarily means that they have the right to keep out of their country those who are not willing to meet the qualifications to enter and live there.  The fact that we’ve not required each citizen born here to meet the agreement that immigrants have to meet is the root of why we can’t find solutions to our current immigration problem.  The real issue is the Biblical concept of covenant, which means “the meeting of minds”.

Secondly, God wants nations to be willing to receive others who ARE willing to meet the requirements of that nation’s covenant.  This is Continue reading →

Few things have caused as much controversy in American politics as the President’s effort to build a wall along our southwestern border.  Some claim the idea is contrary to the message proclaimed by our Statue of Liberty:  “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”  But are they right?  How can America be a refuge for the hurting of the world if we do not maintain the liberty which makes this nation their hope?  How can we help them if we let in people whose ideas are diametrically opposed to the Biblically-based ideas which made America the freest, most prosperous nation on earth?

Some would say, “Does that mean only Biblically thinking people can come here?  How can they ever learn our ideas if they aren’t here, where they can learn them?”  We’re not the first generation of Americans to face that issue.  In the founding of America it was decided who could be a citizen here and who couldn’t be.  The basic concept was Continue reading →

The media is in an uproar over President Trump’s desire to build a wall on the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration there.  Not that the media being in an uproar against what’s right is anything new.  But many are questioning if his desire to stop illegal immigration is right.  Like most things that socialistic thinking gets wrong, they’re wrong on this too.  They say a “Wall” won’t work.  If they really believe that, why do most of their leaders live in “gated communities”?  Think About It.

Because a nation can only be as strong as it is within its own borders, you can’t help other nations in the world until you are strong at home.  Those who expect America to take care of the world either are uninformed as to how God teaches us to help others, or they reject the Bible as their standard for such benevolence.  Just as the Bible says that “Jesus began to do and teach,” so we cannot share with the world what we are not ourselves.  “Doing” always precedes “teaching”.  A tree cannot extend its branches any farther than its root system equals underground, or the whole tree will topple.  American strength has been flowing away for years because we’ve tried to join the world “globalism” movement and compromised so many of our historic convictions in order to be “part of the crowd”.  One of the major principles of “globalism” is that there can be no borders between nations (On that thought, wonder how they expect to Continue reading →

The Arrival of the Lawgiver 1

This time of year there’s a lot of reference to the Baby Jesus in the manger.  That’s a good thing.  We think of the Christ child and hope comes to us that God literally invaded history and brought hope that there could be “peace on earth toward men of good will” (Luke 2:14).

And yet, for all this good feeling surrounding the Baby Jesus, few ever think beyond the manger.  And even of those who do think of His important life, death, and resurrection, even fewer ever come to understand His impact on all civilization; and particularly here in the western hemisphere.  Jesus was the most important Lawgiver in world history.  His influence over moral and civil law in this world makes Him, without question, the most influential person in all of history.  Yet, few law schools in America ever acknowledge His powerful impact at all.

Jesus’ birth came at a time when Continue reading →

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 →

But Why Did The Pilgrims Come 1

The Pilgrims landed in America nearly 400 years ago.  But do you know why they came to America?  Was it to start a new life?  Well, yes; but what kind of life?  Was it so they could be free?  Well, yes; but what kind of freedom were they looking for?  Because most of us don’t know the answer to these questions is why we continue to accept—or even vote for—more and more of the slavery from which they were fleeing.

Perhaps you would say, “They came here for religious freedom.”  And you would be right—but, what kind of religious freedom?  Did they come merely so they could sing songs to God and study the Bible in their own gatherings?  No, they came with a much broader desire than that.

You see, the Pilgrims understood they must be able to Continue reading →

The attacks on Governor Matt Bevin here in Kentucky have been relentless:  And for what?  Because he is trying to fix Kentucky’s failing pension plan for state workers.  Those attacks have come mostly from the Kentucky Education Association and their allies, the major media outlets here in the state.  Why would they do this?

To understand what’s happening in Kentucky and across the nation with the rise of socialism, you must understand the history of the National Education Association and its state affiliates.

The NEA was founded in 1857 with Continue reading →

“Obey God: VOTE!”

Obey God- VOTE- 1In the 2016 election, 39% of registered voters did not even go to the polls to vote.  And Christians did no better than the national average:  40% of Evangelicals did not go to the polls.  Think how this reveals the selfishness in us.  Our lack of voting says, “We don’t care what kind of government our children have to live under.”  And with that attitude, in time a dictator is certain to take over the government and force our children (and perhaps us) to live under cruel laws which will oppress all who disagree with him.  Do we want to face God at the Judgment with that on our record?  Think about it!

Why has this happened?  Since the 1920s most of our universities and media 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 Continue reading →

Bryan Fischer is one my most favorite policy analysts in America.  He is a born-again believer, a conservative, and “straight-shooting” about the political realm we now have in America.  He had very wise and revealing comments concerning the process of Judge Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court.  I want to quote him extensively in today’s message.  Fischer writes,

Will We Commit to the Lord’s Side 1“Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court despite vicious, cruel, and slanderous opposition represents a high water mark in American politics.  It represents the victory of order over chaos, rationality over insanity, and the rule of law over disorder and violence.  It represents the victory of the Constitution over anarchy, the victory of a republican form of government over democracy – which is just another name for mob rule – and the victory of Jesus Christ over [satan] in the unseen world.

“The spiritual warfare directed against Judge Kavanaugh was Continue reading →

At the Judge Kavanaugh swearing in ceremony, President Trump apologized to the Kavanaugh family for the “terrible pain and suffering” they were “forced to endure” through his confirmation process to the Supreme Court.  Despicable things were done against them.  Other conservatives have been attacked physically lately by people who are socialists:  Ted Cruz and his wife at a restaurant; Congressmen trying to board airplanes.  The left has said, “We will come after you…”

(Confirmed: Kavanaugh and the Left’s Intentions, Family Research Council (Washington, D.C., Oct. 8, 2018))

All this venom spewed out by the socialists in America is in stark contrast to how little of this kind of thing happened from the conservative camp when Barack Obama took the Presidency.  Though many of us felt Continue reading →
