I feel sorry for the people who get up in the mornings and turn on the news first thing.  I feel sorry for the people who monitor the news all day long.  And I really feel sorry for the people who leave the news network playing all night long while they sleep!  If we knew (and lived) half as much of the Bible, God’s Good News for man, as we know about the news events, we wouldn’t be the spiritual midgets we are in this land.  Since the Bible teaches, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”, it’s no wonder most believers live discouraged, defeated lives!

It’s true that there’s plenty of bad in the world.  But God is also at work on this planet in amazing ways.  You won’t Continue reading →

The Greatest Need in America 1With more disrespect being shown to our flag, even within our own borders, it would do us well to revisit our heritage! Fort McHenry (where in 1812 a battle raged which inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star Spangled Banner) was named after a man who served as a medical soldier in George Washington’s army, and later signed the U.S. Constitution. His name was James McHenry. While unknown to us today, James McHenry was one of those men who laid such a firm foundation for America that during the 1800s it would grow to become the greatest nation on earth. James McHenry got his foundation from the Bible. In addition to his achievements just mentioned, he also served as a member of the Continental Congress, his state legislature, and the U.S. Secretary of War—and President of the Baltimore Bible Society! He had this to say about the Bible:

“…public [usefulness] pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures. The doctrine they preach, the obligations they impose, the punishment they threaten, the rewards they promise…can alone secure to society, order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government, purity, stability and usefulness.

“In vain, without the Bible, we increase penal laws and draw entrenchments around our institutions. Bibles are strong entrenchments.”

The outcry to remove Confederate monuments from the public square is not, at its root, an issue of racial justice.  One of the ways we know this is that the leaders who are stirring people to march in the streets against monuments of Robert E. Lee are the same people who will vehemently defend Planned Parenthood.  Planned Parenthood murders more children by abortion that any other one organization in America, and many of those are black children.  Their founder, Margaret Sanger, believed the black race was inferior and should be killed.  And, no doubt, this is why they’ve placed so many of their “clinics” in predominately black neighborhoods.  And now abortion is the leading cause of death in the Black community (sisforlife.org)!  If the leaders of this “remove the monuments” movement were so concerned about racial justice, why do they so adamantly support Planned Parenthood?

The truth is:  Robert E. Lee was one of the greatest American Christians ever!  Lee once spoke of the Bible to Chaplain William Jones:

“There are things in the old Book which I may not be able to explain, but I fully accept it as the infallible Word of God, and receive its teachings as inspired by the Holy Spirit.”

(Young, Marse Robert, p. 344.  Peter Marshall & David Manuel, The Glory of America Calendar (Garborg’s Heart’N Home, Inc., Bloomington, MN, 1991), 8.9.)

On the way to battles, Lee would often stop and join his troops if they were gathered praying.  Perhaps this is why Continue reading →
