There’s plenty of bad news these days if you allow it to dwell in your mind:  The unfounded impeachment proceedings in Washington; the socialists hoping to recapture the White House again, as well as the U.S. Senate, through these impeachment proceedings.  In my opinion, here in Kentucky, we’ve just replaced with a socialist, the best Governor we’ve had in my lifetime.  Also, in that same election, many of our small towns fell to the liquor industry.

All of this reveals how weak the church is in our state and nation.  It reveals how many, many church leaders are either ignorant of what our Founders created, or, they lack the courage to speak the truth about it to God’s people.  The very system our Founding Fathers enacted, which gave the greatest amount of liberty to the greatest number of people ever, is now being trashed by the socialists who control the media and the teachers unions.

But, America has seen threatening times before.  In the War for Independence, by September of 1777 the American cause looked hopeless.  The American army had Continue reading

In 1800, Supreme Court Justice William Paterson, reminded his fellow Justices on the Court of the words of Proverbs 29:2, which state:

“When the righteous rule, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.”

In Kentucky we are about to choose people to rule over us—and our children.  Very important offices will be decided this election day.  We’ll choose a Governor and, nearly as important, an Attorney General, among others.  We need Godly wisdom to know, and Godly boldness to do, in the voting booth, what is right by God’s standard—regardless of our party, or pressure from family or friends.  We need Godly boldness to vote Biblical moral convictions, regardless of what socialists in the media are trying to influence us to do.

The Bible calls us to vote for candidates who will “stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.”  It tells us to:

“Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.” (Deuteronomy 1:13)

Samuel Adams, the Father of the American Revolution, summed up why our voting was so very important when he Continue reading

With the false slant the secular media gives its reporting, and the support of universities in propagating that viewpoint, some people wonder if there is any purpose in fighting this war for the preservation of liberty.  Through their rhetoric, these ‘change agents’ of our culture try to discourage us from going to the polls.  Is there any good reason for moral conservatives, and especially Christians, to vote?

Yes!  Absolutely yes!  Let us not forget that first and foremost of all, our vote is not about its effect.  Our vote is not primarily about whom we elect.  It is most importantly an act of obedience to the God who created us.  In America’s first dictionary, written when we weren’t ashamed to name the Name of Jesus Christ in public places, Noah Webster defined the word vote as coming from a root word meaning, “our solemn vow to God”!  Our vote is an act of agreement with God in His work of protecting the right of the next generation to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and thus, to have the opportunity to become all He created them to become.  Our vote is our sacred opportunity to preserve liberty for our children!

The Bible teaches that electing our rulers is Continue reading
