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 →

“Will We Commit to the Lord’s Side?”

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.

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 →

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.  More people have Continue reading →

Americans Are the Guardians of Liberty 1

We should carefully take in the words of the Father of our country, George Washington. In his first inaugural address he stated words of such wisdom that they should sober and inspire every one of us who are Americans. If heeded, they will inspire us to become an instrument in the hands of Almighty God for the good of our children and the entire earth.

Just after Washington took the oath of office to defend and uphold the newly written Constitution of the United States, he spoke these words of wisdom:

“We ought to be no less persuaded that the…smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained;…the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as…perhaps finally, staked [with] the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people…”

(Tim LaHaye, Faith of Our Founding Fathers (Brentwood, TN: Wolgemuth & Hyatt, 1987), pp.63-64, 107)

Let’s look carefully at Washington’s words, since they Continue reading →

“The Real Aim of Socialism”

California is the state in this nation that probably has the most socialism at work in its state government.  To see the effect of such full-blown socialism you need look no further than Bill 2943 which passed both Houses of California’s legislature this year.  The bill would have outlawed the sale of any literature which offered hope that a homosexual could be set free from their sexual bondage.  Many were concerned that this would ultimately ban the sale of the Bible in California.  While God worked a miracle to stop the bill at the last moment from becoming law, this experience shows what the real aim of socialism is:  That is, the hindering of the flow of the truth of the Bible in a society.

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 →

We’re hearing a great deal of talk about “socialism” in the political realm these days.  In a number of places around the country the Democratic Parties are electing socialist candidates.  And while the Republican Parties have not openly embraced socialism yet, many Republicans in government carry out their government duties in a socialistic way.  They take tax dollars from a citizen in one part of the country, and spend it for a project in another part of the country.  This is the redistribution of wealth by government mandate; which is one of the main tenets of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto.  It is socialism.

America tried socialism in the 1600s.  The Pilgrims worked Continue reading →

“Socialism Defies Christianity!”

I remember hearing someone say many years ago that the early Christians lived by socialistic principles in the way they took care of each other.  While that person may have been sincere, this is ignorance personified!  In Acts 2:44 the Bible does say that the early believers “…had all things common…”  But that in no way supports the idea that they operated as socialists.  The early followers of Jesus chose to share their belongings with the other believers.  They weren’t forced to do it by government mandate.  They weren’t taxed by government and then had redistributed to other believers their goods.  No!  Out of the love of the Lord Jesus, Who lived inside them, they chose to give to their brothers and sisters in Christ what they needed.  There’s a huge difference in those two ideas concerning how you meet the needs of the poor.

Socialism Defies Christianity 1Socialism and Christianity do not mix!  Karl Marx, the father of modern day socialism, knew this.  Concerning his goal to establish communism, he listed his first goal as being…

“To dethrone God…”

(Agenda: Grinding America Down, Curtis Bowers, 2010)

Socialism, and its ultimate goal, communism, will not mix with Christianity.  To try to mix them is like trying to mix oil and water.  You might stir them up together; but when everything settles they will have divided off into two completely different entities.  People who say they are Christians and want to mix socialism and Christianity either do not know the Lord at all, or they are so shallow in Him they know very little about how God thinks; which means they have never read very much of the Bible.

The socialistic principle of, “everybody getting free everything” goes Continue reading →

What is Socialism 1In June, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a twenty-eight year-old avowed socialist, won the Democratic nomination for New York’s 14th Congressional District.  While fifty years ago a political candidate who would have so openly embraced socialism as his political philosophy would have spelled his doom, 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—and some are winning!

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 →

Are We Slaves of Socialism- 1

Do we Americans live in the land of the free; or the land of political slavery?  Political slavery, or socialism, means that the few who administer civil government tell the rest of us what to do.  To determine if we live in political slavery:

  • Ask a parent if they can spank their child without fear of the government removing the child from them;
  • Ask a school teacher if they can choose their own curriculum;
  • Ask a physician if they can choose the type of medicine, therapy, or hospital, by which they care for their patients;
  • Ask a business owner if he can operate without first consulting government as to his location, pay for employees, and tools he uses;
  • Ask a church if they can building a building, or parking lot, without first asking government about septic systems, phone taxes, employee taxes, fire prevention restrictions, etc.;
  • Ask an individual how long he works each year just to pay the government what he is taxed. Let me answer that one for you; in 2013 all Americans worked until April 18th just to pay local, state and national taxes—30% of their work year!!

President Ronald Reagan warned us,

“Government that is big enough to give you everything you want is more likely to simply take everything you’ve got.”

(Speech given at St. John’s University in New York, March 28, 1985)
