Socialist politicians are everywhere ranting that all should have free education; free medical care; free housing. My only question to that is: “Says who?” Does God say it in the Bible? Or is it purely the idea of some man?
God teaches us that He has given to man a system by which his physical and material needs can be met. It’s quite simple, but very, very effective. God releases into us at the moment of conception certain abilities which, if we follow His leading, He will later direct into a calling through which our needs will be met. A surgeon gets thinking and motor skills which will enable him to remove harmful things and reset body tissue so that God’s natural healing can take place. An automobile mechanic gets the understanding in his mind and skill in his hands by which to diagnose and repair your vehicle. God then intends for us to be taught by parents, pastors, and other teachers how to work with those skills to better the lives of others. They, in turn, pay us for our services, which betters our lives. God’s Kingdom gets advanced in both parties because each realizes that God’s way works; which encourages faith in God’s Word and His calling in other areas of life.
Socialism works just the opposite of this. It teaches that, “there are just some people who can’t take care of themselves.” So we give tax-funded food, clothing, and housing to a few in the beginning. Then politicians (not statesmen, mind you!) see Continue reading
In 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,
In Portland, Oregon, the riots, disguised as “free speech”, have reach the lowest degradation possible. The left-wing looters have now burned our American Flag; and even WORSE, they have burned Bibles along with it!! To any citizen who believes in any semblance of decency, it has to be obvious that these rioters are simply Communist pawns who are out to destroy this Republic and replace it with dictatorial government. A government that is a true republic has to be based on the moral law of the Bible, which is summed up in the Ten Commandments. A Communist-type government hates that law, because God’s law insists that we treat our neighbor as one who is created in the image of God. Hence our Declaration of Independence states,
With more disrespect being shown to our flag, even within our own borders, it would do us well to revisit our heritage! Fort McHenry (where in 1812 a battle raged which inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star Spangled Banner) was named after a man who served as a medical soldier in George Washington’s army, and later signed the U.S. Constitution. His name was James McHenry. While unknown to us today, James McHenry was one of those men who laid such a firm foundation for America that during the 1800s it would grow to become the greatest nation on earth. James McHenry got
