“Teach Voting”

In America’s early education system one of the things that was constantly taught was the Biblical understanding of government. Children were taught to govern themselves by internal choices. They were taught to reason every choice back to its root; that is, “What God says in the Bible about what I am facing”. This was education God’s way. That education system created a moral people. Noah Webster, in his original American dictionary defined “moral” as:

“The conformity of an act to the divine law.”

Thus a people developed in this nation who had stable emotions. That created persistence in what they set out to accomplish.

This way of thinking would be the foundation for the greatest civil government the world has ever known. Their children were taught to let that internal self-government grow to the external civil government. It was the natural outflow of a life committed to living out the Bible in this present world. And while America’s Founding generations were certainly not perfect, they did succeed Continue reading →

“Reasons Which Impelled Them to the Separation-Part 3”

I’m sometimes asked the question: “At what point do we do what America’s Founders did in creating a new national government? When do we create a new government? For now, let me avoid this question by pointing out that, as long as we have the right to vote—and the votes are counted fairly honestly—we have the means to create new government at every election! But 75 million of us, who say we believe we ought to live by the Bible, are not even voting, when 18 million would turn any election we have! So the revolution we need to fight is to get Christians to the polls to vote!

America’s Founders had good reasons for creating a new national government. They listed 27 of those reasons in The Declaration of Independence. Let’s look at some more of them in this message. Reason number 5 stated:

“He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.”

The King had repeatedly, in the 10 years before The Declaration of Independence was written, shut down their Colonial Legislatures. And once the King dissolved their Legislatures, he would wait long periods before restoring them. This was why they stated in reason number 6: Continue reading →

“Reasons Which Impelled Them to the Separation-Part 2”

Is there any good reason that we should study history? Do documents like The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution hold any significance for us today? They most certainly do! Number one, God tells us in the Bible to “Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations…” (Deuteronomy 32:7) He wants us to understand that history is “His-Story”. What He taught a previous generation He wants us to bring into our generation. That with which satan enslaved a previous generation, God wants us to get free of. But if we don’t know history, how can we keep the good and remove the bad? Since all of us start life in this world with a sin-root in our thinking (Romans 5:12), we will tend to move toward satan’s enslavement in our society unless we know what God taught previous generations. This is why God taught the Jews that their education system must be the channel through which the parents teach their children His ways. This is what President Woodrow Wilson reminded us when he stated:

“A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do….”

History is for our instruction; let us not be so arrogant as to dismiss it Continue reading →

“Reasons Which Impelled Them to the Separation-Part 1”

Should Christians always obey civil law? The Apostles’ reply to the civil authorities of their day established the answer to that question. They stated,

“We ought to obey God rather than men.”

(Acts 5:29)

We must obey civil law only if it agrees with the Scripture. Building from this principle, when America’s Founders wrote The Declaration of Independence they actually listed 27 reasons why they should declare their independence from England, because the King had broken “the laws of nature and of nature’s God”, and had violated the citizen’s rights of “life, liberty, and [property]”. Let us consider these violations in the next several messages.

The first violation Jefferson listed stated:

“He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.”

In the 1760’s, the colonies had passed laws to accommodate their rapidly growing population and economy. The King disallowed these, causing the colonists Continue reading →

“Cautiously Resist Disordered Government”

In the late 1700’s, there were those in France who dreamed of establishing a much better government in their nation. Their battle cry was, “Liberty, equality, and fraternity”, meaning “brotherhood”. Their dream was good; for God puts these desires in the heart of all men. However, they attempted to work what they called a “revolution”, without depending on the God of heaven. This was much different from America’s Founding Fathers, who worked a true revolution by publicly acknowledging in our Declaration of Independence, “a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence…” In America the greatest amount of liberty was established for the greatest number of citizens of any nation in history. The high ideals in France ended in a bloodbath by a dictatorial government. In our present trend of a growing dictatorial national government, we can learn much from these two different attempts at establishing liberty.

In a previous message, we listed several Biblical examples where people disobeyed bad civil law with the blessing of God. There is a time for this. But how do we know when that time is? Continue reading →

“Defending Religious Liberty”

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Listen to or download this week’s radio program:

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 →

“Numbers Make the Difference”

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 →

“Removing Planned Parenthood!”

Posted on August 12, 2015 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Listen to or download this week’s radio program:

The recent exposure of Planned Parenthood’s gristly practices of dismembering babies removed from the womb, and selling their body parts, has awakened many a person across this land. This is a good thing, and I might add, long overdue. This organization has masqueraded behind the front of being an organization that helps families. But the reality is, and has been, that this group has done as much as anyone in this nation to destroy the American family. Margaret Sanger, the Founder of Planned Parenthood, was a part of the socialist movement from the early 1900’s. She believed in forced sterilization of those she considered unfit to bear and rear children. This group included the black population along with any others who didn’t fit her socialist agenda. That would include, of course, those who thought according to what the Bible teaches about government. And, while I’m glad many people are being awakened to what Planned Parenthood really is, I am amazed that the average person hasn’t known this before. Our inability to reason from the Bible has stolen from us the true perspective on what is happening around us, and allowed those who want to stop the flow of the Gospel in public to operate freely in this nation.

A good example of this is how many people voted the current state administrations Continue reading →

“Needed: Interposition by Our State Governments!”

Posted on August 4, 2015 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Listen to or download this week’s radio program:

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 →

“What Can the Righteous Do?”

Posted on July 22, 2015 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

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 →
