We are coming up on the most important election Kentucky has ever had. Our state governments are our last line of defense against this socialist Washington government. We must elect statesmen instead of politicians in our state governments! Let’s consider why our one vote is so very important: Because of sin, the root of selfishness came into mankind in the Garden of Eden. Thus, God established civil government to control that selfishness in man. But because that root is in all men we need for civil government to control not only the ruled but the rulers as well! James Madison, who wrote most of our U.S. Constitution, stated,

“In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place oblige it to control itself.”

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 →
