The outcry to remove Confederate monuments from the public square is not, at its root, an issue of racial justice.  One of the ways we know this is that the leaders who are stirring people to march in the streets against monuments of Robert E. Lee are the same people who will vehemently defend Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood murders more children by abortion that any other one organization in America, and many of those are black children.  Their founder, Margaret Sanger, believed the black race was inferior and should be killed.  And, no doubt, this is why they’ve placed so many of their “clinics” in predominately black neighborhoods.  And now abortion is the leading cause of death in the Black community (sisforlife.org)!  If the leaders of this “remove the monuments” movement were so concerned about racial justice, why do they so adamantly support Planned Parenthood?

The truth is:  Robert E. Lee was one of the greatest American Christians ever!  Lee once spoke of the Bible to Chaplain William Jones:

“There are things in the old Book which I may not be able to explain, but I fully accept it as the infallible Word of God, and receive its teachings as inspired by the Holy Spirit.”

(Young, Marse Robert, p. 344.  Peter Marshall & David Manuel, The Glory of America Calendar (Garborg’s Heart’N Home, Inc., Bloomington, MN, 1991), 8.9.)

On the way to battles, Lee would often stop and join his troops if they were gathered praying.  Perhaps this is why Continue reading →

The recent rash of attacks on monuments of heroes like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson should be a matter of great concern to all freedom-loving Americans.  Because of the massive deleting of our history from the minds of the last three generations, most of us are taking this “sitting down”, instead of letting our voice be heard about this wholesale theft of the liberty of our children and grandchildren.

Why do I say this?  Because only Biblical ideas produce liberty in a nation.  The Bible says,

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17)

Liberty in the heart from the guilt and bondage of sin only comes through the blood of Jesus Christ, and by His resurrection power.  And if we let this liberty grow to its full maturity, it will result in civil liberty being diffused throughout a society.  That liberty will then be institutionalized in Constitutions which will secure the right of each citizen to live in that civil liberty.  And while you can’t legislate what will happen in the human heart; if you don’t legislate the protection of the flow of the Gospel of Christ to the human heart, you work against the purpose of God in bringing men into a redeeming relationship with Him.

This concept of internal liberty becoming also external liberty is the basic idea from which America’s liberty was birthed and maintained for the first 300 years of our existence.  For the last few months an attack against Southern statues of heroes committed to this concept has been mounting.  What is called “social justice” is actually a direct attack against the liberty of all Americans.  See last week’s message entitled Learning From Our Past at heritageministriesky.com to discover who is really behind the riots happening in the name of “social justice”.

In recent months there’s come a new “fix” for America’s ills, pushed by those who do not believe the Bible to be literally true.  It is:  Tear down our monuments of heroes from the Southern side of the War Between the States.  This idea is most certainly pushed by people on the left of the political spectrum which follows perfectly their agenda:  That is, “Divide and Conquer”.  Using race to divide citizens within a nation is nothing new.  satan has been using this tactic since early human history to enslave people politically, so he can keep the Gospel of Christ from reaching them.  Its end is always death, because satan comes “but for to steal kill and destroy…” (John 10:10)

First, let’s answer the question:  Should nations have monuments at all?  It was God, Himself Who first taught His model nation, the Jewish Republic, to erect monuments.  When He had dried up the Jordan River so His people could cross on dry land, He told Joshua to build a monument of twelve stones (Joshua 4:4-5) so that, quote:

“…this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?  Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan…and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.” (Joshua 4:6-7)

So monuments are Continue reading →
