The recent exposure of Planned Parenthood’s gristly practices of dismembering babies removed from the womb, and selling their body parts, has awakened many a person across this land.  This is a good thing, and I might add, long overdue.  This organization has masqueraded behind the front of being an organization that helps families.  But the reality is, and has been, that this group has done as much as anyone in this nation to Removing Planned Parenthood1destroy the American family.  Margaret Sanger, the Founder of Planned Parenthood, was a part of the socialist movement from the early 1900’s.  She believed in forced sterilization of those she considered unfit to bear and rear children.  This group included the black population along with any others who didn’t fit her socialist agenda.  That would include, of course, those who thought according to what the Bible teaches about government.  And, while I’m glad many people are being awakened to what Planned Parenthood really is, I am amazed that the average person hasn’t known this before.  Our inability to reason from the Bible has stolen from us the true perspective on what is happening around us, and allowed those who want to stop the flow of the Gospel in public to operate freely in this nation.

A good example of this is how many people voted the current state administrations Continue reading

Our God is Able1In light of the growing threat to the free expression Biblical truth, let us remember those whom God has used in the past, and draw the strength of faith from their stands.  The faith of one, Abraham, was used to save many lives when he attacked the kings who had carried off his nephew Lot and his family.  Though Abraham had only 318 men in his “household army”, God defeated the combined armies of four kings and rescued the captives they had taken, including Lot.  And because of Abraham’s obedience in the face of fear, God greatly blessed him during and after the battle (Genesis 14)!

Gideon, with just 300 men, overcame an army that was “without number” (Judges 6:5):  Demonstrating how powerfully God shows up on behalf of those who trust Him!

Elijah, alone, faced 450 prophets of Baal and challenged the nation of Israel to decide who was God in Israel (1 Kings 18).  Yet God showed up on Elijah’s behalf while there was no move from Baal at all.  The fire of God fell on Elijah’s prepared sacrifice and consumed not only the sacrifice Continue reading

On November 13, 2008, the week after Mr. Obama was elected the first time, the Think About It message was entitled “What We Can Expect”.  We offered the following analysis of what government would become.  We stated,

What Can We Do Now1“In the governmental realm we can expect more and more animosity toward the churches which teach the Bible to be true.  This will probably also include Jewish synagogues.  It follows that moral issues like trying to stop abortion and homosexuality will be impossible, unless God Himself intervenes.”

Now that we are seeing this, what do we do?

We must now be willing to suffer for speaking the truth to people.  This is a first for our nation.  What rejection we received in the past 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.

Our Freedom Document - Heritage Ministries of Kentucky“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

“Prayer – The Graceometer of the Church”

Charles Spurgeon, the great English preacher, gave us a measuring stick by which we could determine if our churches were healthy.  He called it a “Graceometer.”  Here’s what he said:

“The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings.  So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we judge the amount of divine working among a people.  If God be near a church, it must pray.  And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be a slothfulness in prayer.”

(The Metropolitan Tabernacle, 1873 edition)

Prayer - The Graceometer of the Church - Heritage Ministries of KentuckyAccording to Spurgeon’s “Graceometer”, I’m afraid 98% of our churches would have to admit the Lord is mostly absent!  Any discerning believer will admit that the church in America is far from what Jesus died to make her.  And likewise, the truth is:  As the church goes, so goes the nation.  A culture is always the mirror of the state of the church in a nation.  And while there are some healthy churches—most of which are unknown to the national eye—we cannot deny the obvious.  Our culture reflects the confusion we now see in the church.  More and more churches are trying to redefine marriage so as to “broaden” the “narrow way” into the church.  This confusion is the fruit of a deeper Continue reading

“Pastor, America is in Your Hands!”

While in Washington recently, I heard alarming statistics about our nation.  But the most alarming stats were not about government:  They were about churches, and particularly Pastors.  According to a Barna survey conducted in connection with Wallbuilders ministry, only 28% of the churches now believe that the Bible is absolutely true.  90% of the Pastors in those Bible-believing churches say they believe the Bible speaks to current issues.  But get this:  90% of those Pastors have never preached from the pulpit what the Bible says about the issues of our land!

Pastor, America is in Your Hands! - Heritage Ministries of KentuckyPastors’ AWOL attitude concerning civil government is the reason God’s people don’t know that they must be the ones to watch over civil government, in order to protect the right of the truth to flow to the next generation.  Thus, we’re having trouble deciding if marriage is between a man and a woman only; and if it should be protected by government.  We’re having trouble deciding if homosexuality is a choice or a trait, when we used to be convinced that it was a crime.  We’re even wondering if boys in school should get to use the girls’ bathroom!!

Pastors, if civil government is God’s institution—and Romans 13:1 makes it plain that it is—then should not those of us called to teach the Bible be the ones to reveal the Biblical Structure and Spirit by which government must operate?  Is that not logical?  Is that not right? Continue reading

“The Gender Agenda”

I recall once hearing a state legislator in Kentucky argue that there was no such thing as a The Gender Agenda1“homosexual agenda”.  However, David Gibbs, President of the Christian Law Association in America, tells how he was in a state government committee hearing about 30 years ago where an attorney speaking for the homosexuals related their plan to gain acceptance for their lifestyle.  We’ll share that plan in a moment.

But why should we question that there is a plan?  Since the Garden of Eden, satan has had a plan to keep man from becoming what God had created him to be.  Years ago, the apostle Paul revealed satan’s schemes to control man and this earth.  Paul wrote in Ephesians 6,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

(Ephesians 6:12-13)

There is a war in the spirit realm that causes every action in this natural realm.  To deny that this war exists is to invite destruction to yourself and your nation. Continue reading

“Foundational Ideas of America”

Four generations of Americans have now been taught that this nation was birthed out of ideas from many different cultures:  That America is the great ‘melting pot’ of ideas. While it is true America has descendants from many nations which make up her citizenry, the men who birthed this nation were very much alike in their basic view of life and the world.  The effort to hide from us their beliefs is designed to destroy the very liberty we cherish.

In 1843, Emma Willard, educator and historian, identified both the characteristics of the young republic of the United States and the reason for its emerging greatness.  Her words give us insight, which, if taught to our children, will protect God’s precious gifts to us of “life, liberty, and property”.  She wrote:

“The government of the United States is acknowledged by the wise and good of other Foundational Ideas of America1nations, to be the most free, impartial, and righteous government of the world; but all agree, that for such a government to be sustained for many years, the principles of truth and righteousness, taught in the Holy Scriptures, must be practiced. The rulers must govern in the fear of God, and the people obey the laws.”

“Revival Can Happen in Our Day”

On February 3rd in 1970, God worked a modern day revival in central Kentucky.  A Chapel service at Asbury College was invaded by the Holy Spirit of God.  His work Revival Can Happen in Our Day1would go deep in the hearts of students, faculty members and many others, for the next eight days.  Classes were cancelled as most of the college family waited in the Presence of God.  Honest confessions of sin, private and public, were the norm as one person after another made their way to the altar at the front of the auditorium.  After their surrender of every area of their lives, they would walk up onto the platform and give their witness to the whole group as to what God had done in them.  This was repeated in hundreds of individuals over the eight day span as there were always some people in Hughes Auditorium for every hour of those eight days.

Those days were characterized by deep repentance and, thus, lives being transformed.  One rebellious Senior’s testimony describes well what would happen to many.  In Robert Coleman’s book One Divine Moment, which recounts the story of the revival, this young man is quoted as saying,

“I’m not believing that I’m standing here telling you what God has done for me.  I’ve wasted my time in college…but Christ has met me and I’m different. Continue reading

Who is Standing in the Gap1Some 600 years before Christ came to earth the nation of Judah was falling apart.  Ministers had stopped teaching Biblical morality for fear they’d lose their income.  Government leaders had approved the murder of the innocent in their nation.  Citizens had oppressed the poor with money loaned by interest, and the bribery of judges.  (Ezekiel 22: 25-29)   Does all this sound familiar?  God warned them that He would judge them and destroy their nation if they didn’t repent.  They didn’t.  Destruction came by the hand of the King of Babylon, whom God called, His “servant”.

We Americans deserve God’s judgment just as much as Judah did.  We have murdered over 55 million of our own children by abortion.  We have accepted homo-sexuality, which the Bible calls perversion.  And we have given away the civil liberty which God entrusted to us for the purpose of getting the Gospel of Christ to our children and the world.  Any one of these is enough to merit judgment on our nation!

And yet, God said to the prophet Ezekiel these amazing words: Continue reading
