When discussing civil government, people have a lot of different ideas as to what is needed to fix our broken governments.  But actually, the fix is quite simple.  We need to recognize that government is God’s institution, and that it takes statesmen to operate it the way God intended it to work.

When statesmen, not politicians, are in office, deeds consistent with the Word of God are the normal thing.  Now it’s true, we haven’t seen very many of those people in office for a very long time—nearly a hundred years now.  So where do we go for a comparison?  How can we know if someone is a statesman, instead of a politician?  Let me first describe the difference.

A politician is one who is skilled in how to get things done in government.  This oftentimes takes the shape of manipulation or bribery.  A statesman is one who stands in the gatherings of government and states the truth about issues.  He stands for the truth no matter what the cost to him or his position.  Because his great desire is Continue reading →

Good and Bad has happened in the political realm in America recently.  Judge Roy Moore won the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate special election to be held in December.  Since the 1990s, Judge Moore has stood for truth like no other politician in this nation.  I believe God has honored Himself by justifying His own statesman in this race.  This is the good news for America.

The bad news is Bernie Sanders is spearheading a plan to put every American under the national government concerning medical care.  And I do mean “under”!  It would give the national government complete control of every area of our lives by the mandate it would set up.  This is not surprising, since Bernie Sanders classifies himself as a socialist.  This is what socialism does.  It enthrones a few government officers at the top of an all-powerful national government and enslaves every other citizen in a nation.  It completely takes away the choice of the citizen to control their life, as God planned it.  It is the ultimate fruit of the idea that we own these lives instead of God; and that “some are made to rule, others are made to be ruled”, as Aristotle taught.  We were made by God to serve Him.  We will do that, or ultimately we will become enslaved to a man (a dictator), and serve him.  The Bible teaches it…and history proves it!  The Scripture says,

“He that soweth to the flesh will, of the flesh, reap corruption…” (Galatians 6:7)
