On April 19, 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 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. 1-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. Continue reading →

With the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus we naturally think of Christ’s redemption for us personally:  How His shed blood washes away our sin and guilt, and how His resurrected life makes possible that we can actually be what He created us to be.  The wonder of this cannot be fully described, but it can be fully experienced!

However, as we mature in Christ once we’ve received Him as our Lord, His life within us desires to flow in an outwardly direction.  And if we allow Him to do that to its farthest extent, His resurrected life will shape the institutions of the culture so that those institutions will become vessels through which His truth can flow to the next generation.  The institution of civil government will then protect, by law, the right of the truth of Christ’s kingdom to flow to the next generation.  America’s Founders understood that this was civil government’s responsibility.  They never envisioned the government being hostile to the church.  Any honest individual who researches their writings will reach that conclusion.

Founding Father and Sixth President, John Quincy Adams, made plain the connection between Christianity and our nation’s liberties when he stated:

“Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the Progress of the Gospel…? Continue reading →

What would your church do if the parents of a lesbian daughter asked you to perform her funeral—AND—insisted a picture be showed of her kissing her lesbian partner?  According to writer, Bryan Fischer, this has already happened to a church in Colorado.  What if they threatened to sue the church if it didn’t perform the funeral?  What would your church leadership do?

These are the exact kinds of choices we’re heading for in this land.  David Gibbs, President of the Christian Law Association in America, warns us that the homosexuals have an agenda to take control of the media, of business, of civil government, and of the church, in order to force acceptance of their lifestyle on us.  They’ve gained so much control of the media, business, and civil government, that they are now invading the church’s territory, insisting it bow to an all-powerful, socialist form of government.

Since the Obama Administration pushed through Congress the so-called “Hate Crimes” law in November of 2009, government power is being used more and more to threaten the worship and mission of the church in America.  The “Gender Agenda” is flexing its government muscle and attacking the Biblical definition of marriage.  Now they are advancing into the church in order to silence its moral voice in our nation.  Satan’s real aim in all this is to stop the teaching of the Gospel of Christ to the next generation.  He is simply using the homosexual movement to achieve his goal.

Do we Americans live in the land of the free; or the land of political slavery?  Political slavery, or socialism, means that the few who administer civil government tell the rest of us what to do.  To determine if we live in political slavery:

Ask a parent if they can spank their child without fear of the government removing the child from them.

Ask a school teacher if they can choose their own curriculum.

Ask a physician if they can choose the type of medicine, therapy, or hospital, by which they care for their patients.

Ask a business owner if he can operate without first consulting government as to his location, pay for employees, and tools he uses.

Ask a church if they can build a building or parking lot without first asking government about septic systems, phone taxes, employee taxes, fire prevention restrictions.

Ask an individual how long he works each year just to pay the government what he is taxed.  Let me answer that one for you; in 2013 all Americans worked until April 18th just to pay local, state and national taxes—30% of their work year!!

President Ronald Reagan warned us, Continue reading →
