There were shouts…then shots…then screams…then President Trump grabbed his ear and quickly moved down to the stage floor and the protection of the speaker’s stand. Quickly other shots were fired and the assassin’s attempt at murdering President Trump was done—for the shooter was done, in this world.

He was a college student where he heard often, maybe daily, that Donald Trump is the end of democracy in America. He had, no doubt, heard the suggestions from loose-tongued newscasters, talk show hosts, college professors, and politicians. Even Mr. Biden said something like, “There needs to be a bullseye on him”, referring to President Trump.  (David Barton, Wallbuilders.show, 7/16/24)

An example of this is reported in an interview with The Washington Stand  by a Miss Riley Lang, a 21 year old, recently graduated from a major university. She stated, “I am a first-hand witness of students like Thomas Matthew Crooks.”  She noted that while the media, “has not put out information about the shooter’s motivation,”  it seems probable this attack was “the result of a systemic problem…In my university classes, Trump is called a racist, [a woman-hater], an evil person almost daily. And as a young person in this environment, if you support Trump in any capacity, you identify as all these characteristics as well.” Notably, she said, “The shooter was only 20 years old, and for the past seven years has heard Trump being compared to the likes of Hitler.” For Miss Lang, this is likely “the result of a child spending his teen years in [a] divisive political environment, with Marxist professors and teachers and the media painting Trump as a villain.  He [the shooter] is the result of being made into an activist.” Continue reading →

It really amazes me how so many people continue to sleep in the midst of this crisis, which, without revival, will end in the loss of our liberty.  Yet most Americans  continue on and on with no serious thought that our nation could be forever changed.  It is the fault of our education process that we continue to sleep, as we did on the morning when we were attacked at Pearl Harbor in 1941.  This is not to place all the blame on school systems either; education is much more than just the classroom.  The television programming, the internet viewing, the music we listen to, are all major contributors to the way we now think.  Without careful study of the Bible, believing that its teachings are true and thereby should be lived by, we simply follow the inclinations of our own thinking—and that’s the root problem.

The Bible says, “There is not a just man upon the earth that doeth good and sinneth not.” (Ecclesiastes 7:20)  It reveals that our “…heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; [but] who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9)  This is because there is a root of sin in us which releases in us the attitude of “I want what I want when I want it.”  To get what you want, you have to be able to control your circumstances.  That means you have to fight someone else for control.  This desire for control is what has caused every hurt and every war in history.  Thus, those who haven’t surrendered their will to Jesus Christ, and had His life replace theirs in this world, cannot Continue reading →

The Bible says, “Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” (Galatians 5:1)

Ladies and Gentlemen: The following document is the reason you and I, in America, are free:

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

On April 19th, 1775, seventy-five American farmers faced an overwhelming force of some 600 British professional soldiers. The Americans were out-manned, out-gunned, and out-trained. And when the first shots were fired, nine of the Americans fell dead. Why were they willing to face such overwhelming odds? Were they dreamers? Were they crazy? Were they men of such noble ideas that they were willing to die for them? While they were all these things (except crazy), they had an even greater reason for resisting the King of England. They believed they were obeying the God of the Bible with their resistance. Their Congress had stated:

“Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian…duty of each individual…Continue steadfast, and with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly…defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us.”

(Massachusetts Provincial Congress. 1774, in a resolution. George Bancroft, Bancroft’s History of the United States, Vol. X (Boston: Charles C. Little & James Brown, 3rd Edition, 1838), Vol. VII, p. 229 | Peter Marshall and David Manuel, The Glory of America (Bloomington, MN: Garborg’s Heart’N Home, Inc., 1991), 8.31.)

When our ancestors defended themselves on Lexington Green, and later much more successfully at Concord Bridge, they believed they were walking in a principle of liberty taught in the Bible.

When God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, he told him to “keep it”; that is, to Continue reading →

“Who Is Standing In The Gap?”

Who is Standing in the Gap1Some 600 years before Christ came to earth the nation of Judah was falling apart.  Ministers had stopped teaching Biblical morality for fear they’d lose their income.  Government leaders had approved the murder of the innocent in their nation.  Citizens had oppressed the poor with money loaned by interest, and the bribery of judges.  (Ezekiel 22: 25-29)   Does all this sound familiar?  God warned them that He would judge them and destroy their nation if they didn’t repent.  They didn’t.  Destruction came by the hand of the King of Babylon, whom God called, His “servant”.

We Americans deserve God’s judgment just as much as Judah did.  We have murdered over 55 million of our own children by abortion.  We have accepted homo-sexuality, which the Bible calls perversion.  And we have given away the civil liberty which God entrusted to us for the purpose of getting the Gospel of Christ to our children and the world.  Any one of these is enough to merit judgment on our nation!

And yet, God said to the prophet Ezekiel these amazing words: Continue reading →

Revival-The Foundation of America 1Why did early Americans respect the Bible so much?  Why did our Founding Fathers who wrote our Founding documents reason from Biblical principles?  Why did they insist that their education and governmental systems be the means of communicating the truth to the next generation?

To really understand how they thought we must consider the time in which they were born.  Most all of them were born in the midst of an amazing work which came to be called the “Great Awakening”.  It was a time of revival that brought the Pilgrims’ descendants back to the faith of those original settlers in Plymouth.  It started in 1734 in the little village of western Massachusetts called Northampton.  The Pastor of the church there, Jonathan Edwards, described it in his own words in Continue reading →

God Showed Up at Normandy 1

On June 6, 1944 the beginning of the end for the satanic Nazi regime was ignited on the Normandy beaches in France. An Allied force of three million men, over 5,000 ships, and 11,000 planes crossed the choppy waters and attacked the Nazi strongholds in the cliffs of Normandy. Never, in the history of man, had such a force been amassed to attack an enemy. Even so, it would not be easy. More than 54,000 of those troops would die in that invasion. Another 155,000 plus would have the rest of their lives altered from wounds incurred in those hours of the invasion. But victory was achieved! This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the price of liberty!

General Dwight Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of this joint force, wrote a letter which was read to the troops stirring them to trust God to help them achieve this victory. It read, in part, as follows:

“You are about to embark on the great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you…you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

“…let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.”

And God showed up with miracles on behalf of liberty in answer to those prayers.

“Why We Remember”

For Memorial Day, a restaurant in our town displayed a message on their marque that read:

“‘Thank you’ to those who never came home.”

Why do we remember our fallen military heroes? This was the original purpose for Memorial Day when it was begun during the War Between the States. We remember for two reasons: One, God tells us to remember our past as a nation, so we will see His Providential Hand in it; and thus, He will become more real to us. When we remember His work in the past, it aids our faith in believing Him for miracles now. The Bible commands us to remember our history. It states,

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.” (Deuteronomy 32:7)

Secondly, remembering our past helps us know Continue reading →

“Numbering Our Days”

Numbering-Our-Days-1

One of the fundamental truths on which our forefathers based their lives was that God numbers our days.  This means that we cannot die before our days are completed- if we are earnest in our attempt to obey God in His plan for us.  This created tremendous security for them even in turbulent times.

Knowing this truth gave George Washington the courage to ride to the front in the Battle of the Monongahela and face almost point blank gunfire from the enemy lines.  Though he sustained four bullet holes in his coat and another one in his belt buckle, he escaped unharmed: as he said, “By the miraculous dispensations of Providence.”

Our Forefathers got this understanding from the Bible.  God, who gives us life, numbers our days from before the time we’re born.  The Bible teaches in Psalm 139 that God planned all our days for us before our birth.  This is why David refused to take vengeance on King Saul though Saul was trying to kill David.  David stated to one of his soldiers (who had an opportunity to easily kill Saul), Continue reading →

A hundred years ago, who would have ever believed Christians in America would be fighting for the right to keep homosexuals off our church staffs or that we’d be having to try to protect our children from transgenderism in our schools?  What happened to our nation that was once known as the most moral on earth?  Can I be “gut-level” honest with you?  We, as church leaders, lost the Biblical understanding of education, business, and civil government.  And when we moved out of those God-ordained institutions, satan moved in!

Our Founding Fathers knew the importance of teaching the Biblical understanding of these institutions.  This is why they planned an extra meeting on Thursday afternoons, at which the local Pastor would teach about current events in light of the Scripture.  By this method they created a nation which had a Biblical view of every major area of life.  They knew if the Biblical view of education, business, and civil government did not permeate a nation satan’s view would.  If we don’t return to this Biblical view of the world, we will shortly live as slaves to a dictatorial government.

But why should we, as Christians, learn about civil government from our churches?  Well, ask yourself this question:  Who created civil government?  As in all questions, the Bible has the answer. Continue reading →
