Kentucky has a state pension “nightmare”.  The report is that the state workers retirement fund is forty-one billion dollars in the hole.  To give you an idea how bad that is for my home state:  Kentucky’s state government budget is only about twelve billion a year.  Previous administrations have, in my opinion, defrauded Kentucky’s people.

So shouldn’t we address this problem at its root instead of just trying to temporarily change the fruit out on the limb?  To do that, we have to Continue reading →

“Patrick of Ireland”

March 17th is set aside each year to remember a man who lived in Ireland in the 400s.  His life would not only lead thousands of the Irish out of satanism to Jesus Christ as their Lord; his Biblical teaching concerning government would literally lay the foundation for liberty in America.

Patrick of Ireland was actually born in England, but at sixteen years of age was captured and taken to Ireland to be a slave.  While many in our day would blame God as being unfair if that happened to them, Patrick did just the opposite.  He recognized that the heathen living of him and his neighbors had brought him this captivity.  He described their state as being,

“…quite drawn away from God, we did not keep His precepts…”

(Great Christian Classics, Kevin Swanson ed. (Generations With Vision, 2010), p. 135)

But during this time of captivity Patrick would find Continue reading →

Is America a nation birthed by God?  Well the Bible says all nations are birthed by God:  In Acts 17:26 the Bible says,

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

Let’s continue to learn about it from the book, Why God Birthed America…

“God’s plan had not changed, even though man had left the good beginnings brought about by Jesus’ death, resurrection, ascension, and outpouring of His Spirit into believers.  Still yet, God had not given up on His dream of man being a vessel through which He could live His life.  And He was about to Continue reading →

When Fathers and Mothers, and Teachers in school do not live by and teach the Bible to children, they give away the liberty of a nation.  The end result:  The people of the nation become slaves to a dictator.  Noah Webster, the premier educator of our early Republic, summed it up like this:

“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”

(Webster, Noah. 1832. The History of the United States (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), p. 309, paragraph 53 | Webster, Noah, The American Dictionary of the English Language (NY: S. Converse, 1828; reprinted, San Francisco: Foundation for American Christian Education, facsimile edition, 1967), preface, p. 22.)

Let’s continue the story from the book, Why God Birthed America…

Have you ever asked yourself the question:  “Why is there so much confusion in the world about Who God is?”  Let’s answer that by reading more of the book, Why God Birthed America.  I quote from the section about the Dark Ages:

“Satan had always wanted control.  His attempt to take over God’s throne in heaven was the very reason he was cast down from his original position as the worship leader of heaven (Ezekiel 28:10-16).  Once he was defeated in his attempt to gain control of heaven, the next best thing he could do was to try to gain control of earth.  Given the rule of earth by Adam, its God-ordained master, satan had rapidly Continue reading →

This month marks 45 years in which the murder of unborn children by abortion has been legal in America.  Not that our Congress, the voice of the people, ever legalized it!  It was the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 that illegally declared abortion legal.  Because we, in the church, sat by and griped — instead of getting involved in the voting process and attending law-making sessions, so as to identify the law makers who supported such a hideous crime—and replace them with our votes — now some 60 million of our own children have been murdered.  And that in the place that should be the safest on earth; their mother’s womb.  The God Who made us and to Whom we will give a full account of our earthly deeds, is not blind to these hideous rippings apart of babies’ bodies in their mother’s womb!

God warned His people in the days of Jeremiah that Continue reading →

Concerning Civil Government, God says in Romans 13:1,

“…there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”

Thus, we see that God is the One Who created the realm of authority known as civil government, just as He created the realms of authority known as the home and the church.  And from the Garden of Eden to the time of Noah, God exercised the authority of civil government by punishing crime Himself.  He set up the angel with the flaming sword to guard the Tree of Life, and keep man from eating of it after man had sinned.  It was God, Himself, who pronounced the sentence on Cain for murdering his brother, Abel.  It was God who sent the great Flood and punished the people of Noah’s day for their crimes of immorality and violence.  So early in human history God took responsibility for enforcing His statutes of civil law onto man.

But after the Flood, God transferred to man the responsibility for operating civil government.  He said to Noah Continue reading →

Sam Adams, the Father of the American Revolution, which secured our liberty in America, stated:

Christ Brings Freedom to the Whole Man 1“The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, the rights of the Colonists as Christians may best be understood by reading and carefully studying the institutions of The Great Law Giver and the Head of the Christian Church, which are…clearly written…in the New Testament.”

(Adams, Samuel. November 20, 1772, in his pamphlet entitled, The Rights of the Colonists, in section: “The Rights of the Colonist as Christians.” The Rights of the Colonists (Boston: Old South Leaflets), Volume VII, 1772 | John Eidsmoe, Christianity and the Constitution – The Faith of Our Founding Fathers (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, A Mott Media Book, 1987; 6th printing, 1993), p. 254.)

Sam Adams believed that our liberty was rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  It was simply the extension of the internal liberty Christ brings into our spirit and soul when we submit to Him as our Master and Deliverer.

Jesus once said,

“A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.” (Matthew 12:35)

How we think inside produces our actions outside.  Jesus is pointing out to us that the mind will determine what we choose, and thus, how we act.  So what we put into the mind will determine the way we act.

Why Jesus Came 1

So what should we put into our mind?  What are the most basic truths we need to know in order to function as God intended us to function?  What truths will Continue reading →

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)

The Battle is Won by Prayer 1

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 →
