I’m sometimes asked the question: “At what point do we do what America’s Founders did in creating a new national government? When do we create a new government? For now, let me avoid this question by pointing out that, as long as we have the right to vote—and the votes are counted fairly honestly—we have the means to create new government at every election!   But 75 million of us, who say we believe we ought to live by the Bible, are not even voting, when 18 million would turn any election we have! So the revolution we need to fight is to get Christians to the polls to vote!

America’s Founders had good reasons for creating a new national government. They listed 27 of those reasons in The Declaration of Independence. Let’s look at some more of them in this message.   Reason number 5 stated:

The King had repeatedly, in the 10 years before The Declaration of Independence was written, shut down their Colonial Legislatures. And once the King dissolved their Legislatures, he would wait long periods before restoring them. This was why they stated in reason number 6: Continue reading →

Number one, God tells us in the Bible to “Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations…” (Deuteronomy 32:7) He wants us to understand that history is “His-Story”. What He taught a previous generation He wants us to bring into our generation. That with which satan enslaved a previous generation, God wants us to get free of. But if we don’t know history, how can we keep the good and remove the bad? Since all of us start life in this world with a sin-root in our thinking (Romans 5:12), we will tend to move toward satan’s enslavement in our society unless we know what God taught previous generations. This is why God taught the Jews that their education system must be the channel through which the parents teach their children His ways. This is what President Woodrow Wilson reminded us when he stated:

“A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do….”

History is for our instruction; let us not be so arrogant as to dismiss it Continue reading →
