One of the fundamental truths on which our forefathers based their lives was that God numbers our days.  This means that we cannot die before our days are completed- if we are earnest in our attempt to obey God in His plan for us.  This created tremendous security for them even in turbulent times.

Knowing this truth gave George Washington the courage to ride to the front in the Battle of the Monongahela and face almost point blank gunfire from the enemy lines.  Though he sustained four bullet holes in his coat and another one in his belt buckle, he escaped unharmed: as he said, “By the miraculous dispensations of Providence.”

Our Forefathers got this understanding from the Bible.  God, who gives us life, numbers our days from before the time we’re born.  The Bible teaches in Psalm 139 that God planned all our days for us before our birth.  This is why David refused to take vengeance on King Saul though Saul was trying to kill David.  David stated to one of his soldiers (who had an opportunity to easily kill Saul), Continue reading →

A hundred years ago, who would have ever believed Christians in America would be fighting for the right to keep homosexuals off our church staffs or that we’d be having to try to protect our children from transgenderism in our schools?  What happened to our nation that was once known as the most moral on earth?  Can I be “gut-level” honest with you?  We, as church leaders, lost the Biblical understanding of education, business, and civil government.  And when we moved out of those God-ordained institutions, satan moved in!

Our Founding Fathers knew the importance of teaching the Biblical understanding of these institutions.  This is why they planned an extra meeting on Thursday afternoons, at which the local Pastor would teach about current events in light of the Scripture.  By this method they created a nation which had a Biblical view of every major area of life.  They knew if the Biblical view of education, business, and civil government did not permeate a nation satan’s view would.  If we don’t return to this Biblical view of the world, we will shortly live as slaves to a dictatorial government.

But why should we, as Christians, learn about civil government from our churches?  Well, ask yourself this question:  Who created civil government?  As in all questions, the Bible has the answer. Continue reading →

Is it possible to actually educate unless you teach what is moral and what is not?  And how can you define morality outside the Bible?  Would not morality just be based on a person’s own thoughts.  Couldn’t it be argued that morality is what the individual thinks it is?  Isn’t this what has happened?  Could this be why so many do not know why they are alive?

There has to be a reason for everything we do.  Human beings simply cannot stay focused and achieve anything without knowing why they are doing what they are doing.  For more than eighty years, the majority of those who have written our textbooks and planned our education curriculum have not known the reason we are alive.  And if we don’t know why we’re alive, how could we ever possibly prepare children to live?  If we don’t know why we’re alive, then who’s to say what is important in life?  Who can define right from wrong?  How can there possibly be any direction in the classroom when there’s no direction in the life of the author of the education system?

This was once clearly understood in America.  William Holmes McGuffey was known as the “Schoolmaster of the Nation”.  His McGuffey Readers sold Continue reading →
