“Will A Wall Stop Illegal Entries?”

Posted on August 26, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

The Debate continues over illegal immigration. The socialists in Congress, and their supporters, don’t want a wall. The reasons they put out front is that it’s unfair to deny needy people entrance to our nation; and a wall won’t work anyway. But are those the real reasons they want open borders? Consider their arguments just mentioned: If we’re going to admit people just because they are needy, then the whole world will be standing at our door. Few nations on earth have anything like the lifestyle Americans enjoy. Most of the world is needy compared to this nation!

Their talk that, “a Wall won’t work” is just that—TALK! A recent example of how well a Wall does work to keep out illegals is the nation of Israel. David Rubin, the former Mayor of the city of Shiloh in Israel, told Fox News that,

“…from 2010 to 2012, some 55,000 illegal immigrants came…through Egypt into Israel. In a tiny nation like Israel, he said, ‘that’s a lot,’ [and] the result was that crime rocketed…where they settled…Israeli officials finally agreed to build [a] wall…and in 2016, there were only 11 illegal immigrants who entered Israel through that route…A year after…the Israeli government made security improvements to the wall and increased its height…and now, Rubin contends that the wall is virtually impenetrable by illegal immigrants…‘[T]here was not [one] illegal immigrant that made it through the southern border – not one,’ Rubin [said], referring to last year.”

“Fixing Our Educational Mess”

Posted on August 19, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

John Dewey—the father of the present educational system in America—stated in his book, Living Philosophies (1930),

“There is no God, there is no soul. Hence there are no needs for…traditional religion…truth is dead…There is no room for fixed natural law or permanent moral absolutes.”

(Biblical Solutions to Contemporary Problems, R. Walton, p. 136)

With such ideas being the foundation of modern education, is it any wonder “Johnny can’t read”; and drugs, immorality, and suicide are epidemics in America’s public schools? In spite of the effort of many Christians who teach in our local schools, the devastation worsens each year. Is there any hope for public education in America? Yes! But the road back will be one of the most difficult things ever tackled.

The root of America’s education problem is that it has left the Biblical method of education. How can the Bible be restored as America’s “basic textbook in all fields”, as Noah Webster said? Only by returning the control of the public school to the local community. This means cutting it completely loose from all tax support! Get the state and federal governments out of it! Let the local community completely control it by funding it through voluntary donations. Then—and only then—will the quality of education go up again.

Will most people want to do that right now? No. So I believe some preliminary steps must first be taken.

“The Real Reason For ‘Red Flag’ Laws”

Posted on August 13, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Once again, mass shootings have brought on the call for more gun control; as if the gun was inherently evil. By the way, wonder why we don’t hear from the media the many, well-documented, instances where a gun was used to stop an attacker? Anyway, this time the solution put forth are the so-called, “Red Flag” laws. These laws would supposedly identify a mentally unbalanced person before they committed the hideous act of a mass shooting. It sounds good. But like so many other idealistic ideas put forth by the socialists, it simply cannot work in a fallen world. Man’s selfish nature, what the Bible calls sin, just won’t—indeed it cannot—work perfect solutions to problems.

Questions like, who is going to determine just who is mentally unbalanced? What process will be used to separate him from his gun? What treatment will be applied to cure him of his insanity? These are just a few of the unanswered questions swirling around this emotional search for how to stop mass shootings.

But let’s look beneath the emotional surface at WHY these “Red Flag” laws are being proposed. The truth is, in the natural realm, Red Flag laws would be a great tool aiding the socialists in overthrowing our Republic. But in the spirit realm, they are satan’s tool for destroying the church by locking away church leaders by accusing them of insanity. Thus, satan’s constant effort to keep the Gospel from flowing to the next generation would be helped immensely.
