A very important election is close at hand.  In Kentucky, May 17th is the primary How Much Before We Vote1election.  This is where we will choose state and local government servants which will shape our state for generations to come.  This is Kentucky’s most important election this year!  Yet, probably less than 25% of Kentucky’s born-again believers will vote!  Up until 1900, the Christian population of America controlled the outcome of elections.  No candidate could be elected who did not acknowledge God’s place in our history.  Actually, they had to go even further than that.  In their speeches and writings, they had to acknowledge that Jesus Christ was God’s Son, and that the Bible was the best book to live by in this world.  Had a candidate for political office in the 1800’s stated that he believed abortion was a woman’s choice, or homosexuality was just a different way of family life, he would have ended his political career then and there. What changed?

It all started when Christians backed out of the political realm in the 1920’s.  When Christians lost the battle over legalizing liquor, many Bible-believing Pastors began to say, Continue reading

After we as mankind refused to let God’s life come into us in the Garden of Eden, it wasn’t long before we forgot what God had taught us about His purpose for us and how we were to live on this earth.  But now God is about to reveal His mind to man in such a way he won’t ever forget it.

1God Shows Us What is Right and What is Wrong-Part 2By miracles, He brings Abraham’s children to the desert mountain known as Sinai.  In an awesome display of thunder, lightning, and the quaking of this huge mountain, God shows these “children of Israel” that He is the God who created them and is worthy of their utmost respect.  To begin this mind-altering process in man, God calls Moses up on the mountain, and, with His torch-like Hand, begins to engrave letters into the rock.  Moses watches in awe as ten commands are burned into the side of Sinai.  God then with His finger cuts the outline of two tablets separating them from the rest of the rock bed.  Moses, watching the smoking tablets, begins to read them:  “You shall have no other gods before Me…” (Exodus 20: 3).  Ten such commands reveal how God thinks about Himself, about man, and how He expects us to treat Him and those He has created.  God tells Moses to take them to the people at the foot of the mountain. He wants men to know how He thinks, and, because He wants them not to forget it, He’s written it down.

The effect of this Sinai experience will be world-changing.  Now, for the first time, the mind of God has been summarized and written in stone.  Anytime man reads these words Continue reading

When we as mankind chose to eat of the wrong tree in the Garden of Eden, we lost our opportunity to be what God created us to be.  We “sinned and [fell] short of the glory of God.”  We could no longer be a vessel of the life of God.

God Shows Us What is Right and What is Wrong1So what now?

Is the noble dream of man being a vessel God could flow through lost forever?  Is all possibility of man intimately knowing his Creator gone for eternity?  Is man hopelessly lost?

Well, yes—and no!

Let me explain.  Looking at man’s situation from the human perspective, he is hopelessly lost.  He is filled with the selfish attitude of, “I want what I want when I want it.”  No one could pay man’s debt of one perfect life which was owed to God; no one would be able to break the cycle and come up with a perfect life.  Thus, from man’s viewpoint, there was no hope…

“But God…” Continue reading
