Kim Davis stuck by her conviction that marriage is between a man and a woman only, all the way to jail. And God has honored her stand by moving the judge to release her. Praise God! He has heard and answered the prayers of His people for her. So, did Kim Davis do the right thing by standing for her religious liberty—liberty that says the U.S. Supreme Court is wrong in their decision to “redefine” marriage? Is it Biblical to resist civil government, or should we always obey the civil law? The Bible does teach us to be respectful of governmental authority because God created government. And often we hear, “We are to obey the laws of the land.” This is generally taken from 1 Peter 2:13, which says,

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by Him [that is, by God] for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.”

But, does this tell us to “submit” to law that does not agree with the Bible? Absolutely not! This sentence teaches us that government law is for the purpose Continue reading →

On August 22nd, 2015, more than 6,000 people gathered on the grounds of Kentucky’s State Capitol to say to Kentucky’s Governor and Legislators: “Protect the religious liberty of County Clerks!” This Rally was planned in order to support courageous County Clerks in three counties who have said they will not issue marriage license to homosexual couples. Their reason: Their religious convictions disagree with homosexuality. Therefore, to issue a marriage license to those who are breaking God’s Commandments would place the clerk on the side against God. They would rather be in line with God and His Word than to be in line with government edicts that are out of line with God and His Word.

This has been a long protected freedom in America. Religious liberty is the reason the Pilgrims came here in 1620. When our Founders wrote our Constitution the very First Amendment they made to it stated Continue reading →

What should be done to protect our liberty, recently so viciously attacked by the “marriage” decision of the U.S. Supreme Court?  Six judges on that court should be impeached.  But due to the lack of courage in the average Congressman, that’s not likely.  What can be done is that our states can rise up and refuse to enforce this decision which so violates the Scripture and our U.S. Constitution.

The states stepping in between the people and a disordered national government is the Biblical principle of ‘interposition’.  You may be asking, “What on earth does interposition mean?”  I’m glad you asked.  Noah Webster, in his first American Dictionary, defined interposition as being the act of “…placing or coming between; intervention.”  Then he added this comment to illustrate what he meant:  “The interposition of the moon between the earth and the sun occasions a solar eclipse.”

In government, all authority flows out of God, as Romans 13:1 says, “…there is no authority except from God”.  Government rulers have authority only because God has allowed them that authority.  God first deposits this governmental authority in the people Continue reading →

The Psalmist cried out,

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

(Psalm 11:3)

In the wake of the Supreme Court saying that it is now “law” that marriage is not between a man and a woman only, what can we do?

One thing we can do is realize that the Supreme Court cannot make law!!  The Constitution, the law that we agreed to live by in 1789, reserves the right to make national law to the Congress, and the right to make state law to the state Legislatures.  Nowhere does it allow the Supreme Court to make law.  Thus, just because the Court tells us whether something is Constitutional does not mean we have to live by their decision.  Their ruling is not law!  It is only an opinion!   We must respectfully disobey their ruling on marriage!

Secondly, the Congress should rise up and impeach those five judges who have so blatantly violated the Constitution which they took an oath to defend.  Congress is given this power by the Constitution Continue reading →

Chaos is defined in Webster’s original dictionary as, “confusion; disorder; a state in which the parts are undistinguished”.  This describes exactly the state of affairs which the U.S. Supreme Court forced onto us when they ruled that marriage was not between a man and a woman only.  This will produce “confusion” and “disorder” the likes of which we have never dreamed of.  Consider its effect on society’s structural institutions of the home, the church, and civil government.  This decision strikes at the heart of the most basic unit of society, the Home.  How can you now define “home”?  Is it one husband and three wives; can a man marry his daughter?  Could a child marry their pet?  Once you change the definition of marriage from being what the Bible teaches (that is, one man and one woman) you remove any exclusiveness in the definition of the relationship.  This can only work chaos in families— especially the next generation.

Consider its effect on the Church.  Continue reading →

As America’s Founding Fathers were growing up as children one of the greatest revivals in all of history was occurring.  It would come to be called “The Great Awakening” as the Holy Spirit of God awakened Americans to the faith their Pilgrim ancestors had known so well.  The Bible became the standard once again for morals as well as manners.  They would grow up with the view of God and the view of man which the Bible revealed.  The Ten Commandments would set the boundaries for what was right and wrong in their generation.  The Biblical structure for education, business, and government would become their quest in building their society.  Their view of God was not the “teddy bear” god we’ve tried to shaped Him into in our day; rather, it was the Biblical revelation of Him as the awesome Creator and Ruler of all that is.  Because He was our Maker and Redeemer (in Christ) He was the One Who would be our Judge.

Thus, our current view of ourselves as being the focus of life was not their view.  They believed what the Bible teaches about man: Continue reading →

Recently a young friend of mine sent me an article he was disturbed about.  A man, who no doubt is a sincere believer, was saying Christians should not be involved in government because, as he said, “God’s kingdom isn’t here on earth”.  He went on to put forth the idea that our work as Christians is to share the Gospel with the lost, not to lobby in government.  This is a common mistake I hear believers make.  They divide life into the “spiritual” and the “secular” parts.  In their thinking, neither is supposed to affect the other.

Is God’s kingdom only in heaven?  If that were true, why did God say in Genesis 1:26 that the reason He made us was so we would be “in His image, after His likeness, and have dominion over…all the earth”?  If we were made to look like God, live like God, and rule like God, as this verse teaches, whose kingdom did He desire to be on this earth?

Perhaps you’re thinking, but that was before man sinned in the Garden.  Is it still the will of God for us to rule with His authority in this present world?  Then also answer this:  Why did Jesus teach us to pray, after the fall of man into sin,

“Father…Your kingdom come, Your will be done in earth as it is [being done] in heaven”?

(Matthew 6:10)

Did Jesus not say, “The kingdom of God is within you?” (Luke 17:21) Continue reading →

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this…” ­­­__?__ (question).  Do you know what document contains these words that I just read?  It could just be that your life—and the life of your children– depends on it!

John Jay was one of America’s Founders who would become the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.  His great wisdom guided us in those early years as our Constitution was being tested.  His understanding of liberty and how it passed to the next generation is so powerful—and pertinent to our present day.  He wisely stated:

“…But let it be remembered that whatever marks of wisdom…may be in your constitution, yet like the…forms of our first parents before their Maker breathed into them the breath of life, it is yet to be animated…From the people it must receive Continue reading →
