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 →

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 →
