In this world, we live in a constant warfare:  Personal, for our Families, for God’s Church, for our Civil governments.  Everything is easily understood when we know and accept this fact.  If we don’t know it, or refuse to accept it, then we put ourselves under the warning in the Scripture:

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6)

We are seeing this battle in the Civil realm reveal itself in Judge Roy Moore’s candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat for Alabama.  Judge Moore has stood for the Ten Commandments as the Moral Foundation for our civil law.  For his stand he was Continue reading →

After Jesus was raised from the dead, the Bible records that,

“…He showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.” (Acts 1:3, emphasis added)

The fact that Jesus talked with His followers concerning the “kingdom of God” means (among other things) that He was revealing to them the warfare between the two kingdoms in this world:  That God is the rightful owner of this earth, and thus, the rightful ruler of this earth.  But there is one who has set himself against that Kingdom belonging to God, and tried to usurp its power.  That one is satan, called in the Bible, the adversary of God.  Thus, Jesus was equipping His followers with the understanding that we walk in a constant warfare in this earth.  This warfare engulfs everything in this world from:  Whether a person will come to Christ by surrendering his will and receiving Him as Master; to whether God or satan will control civil government—the greatest natural power on earth.

We’re seeing this warfare over who will rule in civil government happen in a big way right now in Alabama.  The race for U.S. Senate between Judge Roy Moore and Doug Jones is Continue reading →

When discussing civil government, people have a lot of different ideas as to what is needed to fix our broken governments.  But actually, the fix is quite simple.  We need to recognize that government is God’s institution, and that it takes statesmen to operate it the way God intended it to work.

When statesmen, not politicians, are in office, deeds consistent with the Word of God are the normal thing.  Now it’s true, we haven’t seen very many of those people in office for a very long time—nearly a hundred years now.  So where do we go for a comparison?  How can we know if someone is a statesman, instead of a politician?  Let me first describe the difference.

A politician is one who is skilled in how to get things done in government.  This oftentimes takes the shape of manipulation or bribery.  A statesman is one who stands in the gatherings of government and states the truth about issues.  He stands for the truth no matter what the cost to him or his position.  Because his great desire is Continue reading →

Good and Bad has happened in the political realm in America recently.  Judge Roy Moore won the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate special election to be held in December.  Since the 1990s, Judge Moore has stood for truth like no other politician in this nation.  I believe God has honored Himself by justifying His own statesman in this race.  This is the good news for America.

The bad news is Bernie Sanders is spearheading a plan to put every American under the national government concerning medical care.  And I do mean “under”!  It would give the national government complete control of every area of our lives by the mandate it would set up.  This is not surprising, since Bernie Sanders classifies himself as a socialist.  This is what socialism does.  It enthrones a few government officers at the top of an all-powerful national government and enslaves every other citizen in a nation.  It completely takes away the choice of the citizen to control their life, as God planned it.  It is the ultimate fruit of the idea that we own these lives instead of God; and that “some are made to rule, others are made to be ruled”, as Aristotle taught.  We were made by God to serve Him.  We will do that, or ultimately we will become enslaved to a man (a dictator), and serve him.  The Bible teaches it…and history proves it!  The Scripture says,

“He that soweth to the flesh will, of the flesh, reap corruption…” (Galatians 6:7)

So what can we Continue reading →
