Love Your Enemies- But STAND Against Them- 1Celebrate a Veteran this week!

On October 8th, 1918, an Army corporal from the mountains of Tennessee did an amazing thing while fighting in World War I.  Alvin York, a shy young man, who didn’t even want to go to war, performed so well in the line of duty he would later be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.  York, who had been converted to Christ after being known as a “hell-raiser”, struggled with going to war because Jesus had taught that we should be peacemakers.  However, he finally reasoned from the Bible that, as he would say,

“If a man can make peace by fighting, then he is a peacemaker.”

His patrol was moving behind German lines who were ‘dug in’ within deep trenches.  The Germans discovered York and his troop, and opened fire.  The American patrol was pinned down and York would later report that the bushes all around him were shot to pieces, yet he was miraculously spared.  At great risk to his life he worked his way around the hillside where he could see the Germans entrenched above his men.  With his Tennessee sharp-shooting skills he began to pick off the German soldiers one at a time, until he had single-handedly killed twenty-five of them; and silenced thirty-five machine guns!  He then Continue reading

It Can Happen Again1In 1857-58 God came in revival in this nation in a remarkable way. A businessman named Jeremiah Lanphier started a noonday prayer meeting in New York City. Within a month, hundreds were praying at noon and it began to spread across the region. Some prayer meetings at noon sprang up without knowing of the New York prayer meetings. God began to move across the nation bringing hope to many who had become hopeless. The church had become so weak it couldn’t even decide if slavery was right or wrong. And whenever the Church leaves the Scripture as its standard society always goes downhill. We can always tell the strength of the Church by how much its influence controls the institutions of education, business, and civil government. Jesus said,

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” (Matthew 5:14)

If the church boldly, in the love of Christ, proclaims what the Bible says about every area of life men will turn to Christ and be born again. As they “grow in the grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus” society will be 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.

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 We Remember 1Why 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

“Judgment and The Remnant”

America is in a difficult time.  But all national difficulties are designed to help us (or “force” us) to seek God.  We simply must face something we don’t like to face:  As the Bible says it:

“…whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)

Judgment and The Remnant 1We are reaping the judgment of God because of our many idols:  The worst being the god of immorality and our sacrifice to it—the murder of our own children by abortion.  God warned the nation of Israel that one of the judgments He would send would be “pestilence” (Jeremiah 29:17).  This virus is one of those “pestilences”.  As Founding Father, George Mason, warned us at the Constitutional Convention:

“…Providence [(God)] punishes national sins with national calamities.”

But God’s aim is redemptive:  He just wants us to quit “buzzing” and listen to Him!

So I want to encourage you with some of the promises which God gives to us in the Bible.  These promises are made to a specific group of people which the Bible calls “The Remnant”.  While the phrase, “The Remnant”, has specific references to the Jews, it also is a reference to a specific group of true believers in Christ.  This is how I’m referring to it today.  The “Remnant” is not made up of your average church-goer, and certainly does not include those of religions outside of Christianity.  Neither does it include those who nominally believe that Jesus is God’s Son.  It doesn’t Continue reading

I haven’t seen this much fear in people since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.  Everywhere people are concerned for the life of loved ones, as well as for their own life.  It would appear God has come calling.  He warns us:

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” (Galatians 6:7-8)

Many voices for many years have spoken to us prophetic warnings that God would not put up with us murdering our children through abortion; as well as allowing sodomy to exist without punishment:  Not to mention the idolatry of sports and other pleasures we’ve embraced as normal.  Prophetic warnings about our lust for material things has fallen, for the most part, on deaf ears.  Are we now “reaping” what we’ve “sown”?  Time will tell.

And while we may not Continue reading

It has been said of Patrick, the great missionary to Ireland during the 400s, he “found Ireland all heathen and left it all Christian.”  And while, no doubt, that statement is not completely true; it, no doubt, has much truth in it.  Because Patrick was used of God powerfully in converting the Irish to Christ and helping them structure their government so that it would protect for centuries the right to share the Gospel of Christ with the next generation.  Patrick’s understanding and submission to God brought tremendous power from the Holy Spirit to his life.  You hear his understanding of God, and this world God created and controls, in what is known as Patrick’s Breastplate:  Hear the power of God in it!  He states:

“I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through the belief in the threeness,
Through the confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation

“I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his descent for the Judgment Day. Continue reading

Since January 22nd, 1973 we have killed over sixty million of our own children.  That number is near 20% of our total population in this country.  And don’t be fooled by the political rhetoric; only 1% of those killings had anything to do with rape, incest, or the mother’s life being in danger.  99% of this murderous holocaust has been done because these children were thought to be an inconvenience!  What heights of selfishness we’ve now reached!

Not that our Congress, the voice of the people, ever legalized it!  It was the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 that illegally declared abortion legal:  It was because we, in the church, sat by and griped, instead of getting involved in the voting process identifying lawmakers who supported such a hideous crime, and replacing them with our votes.  The God Who made us and to Whom we will give a full account of our earthly deeds, is not blind to these hideous murders of children; or our refusal to get involved to stop it.

God warned His people in the days of Jeremiah that their nation would Continue reading

“Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?”

Why Did Jesus Come to Earth 1

During the Christmas season, much is said and sung about Jesus coming to earth.  Many love the warm, gentle thoughts of a little Baby being born and having His birth announced by angels.  But how many actually ever ask the question:  Why did Jesus come?  We can only answer that from the Bible.  Because, even though there is historical evidence that Jesus did live in Palestine in the first century, the only revelation to be found concerning why He came, is to be found in the Bible.

Jesus, Himself, declared His reason for coming in Luke 19:10; there He stated,

“…the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

But what does lost mean?  To understand that, we must first understand why God made man in the first place.

God said concerning the creation of man:

“…Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…over all the earth…”

It was God’s intent that we should “look, live, and rule” in this earth just as He does in heaven and in earth.  To do this God, Himself, would have to come to live inside us, and through us, look like Himself, live like Himself, and rule like Himself.  So God gave us a choice as to whether we would let Him come to live in and through us in this world.  We chose to Continue reading
