“God’s Civil Law- or satan’s”

Did you know that if you started reading the day you were born all the laws passed by the national government you could not read them all in a lifetime? No one knows how many laws there are! Law has become so complicated that even the lawyers and judges don’t know what’s there. Why has this happened? Or perhaps you’re asking, “So what? How does that affect me?” Well, I assure you, it affects you a great deal!

Once you have so many laws on the books that the average man doesn’t know what the law requires of him he can no longer be sure of his natural, God-given rights. He lives in confusion as to what his rights and responsibilities are. Furthermore, a judge (who interprets the law to him) could tell him things that are not true and the individual would have no way to argue his rights with that judge. Thus, a people can move into tyranny being ruled by a handful of judges who conspire to make the law say what they want it to. Continue reading →

“The Greatest Need in America”

With 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 1800’s 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.

“The Greatest Threat to Liberty”

Posted on August 20, 2014 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Listen to or read this week’s radio program:

When George Washington was about to leave office, after giving near 50 years of service to his country, he addressed the nation through what has come to be known as his Farewell Address. In that Address he warned us what to do and what not to do in order to preserve this new government which aimed at giving the “greatest amount of liberty to the greatest number of people.” In warning us how this new Republic could be overthrown by those working inside it, he stated,

“But let there be no change by usurpation [one branch of government stealing power from another branch] …for…this…is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.”

(Washington, George. September 19, 1796, in his Farewell Address, published in the American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia, September, 1796. James D. Richardson (U.S. Rep. from Tennessee), ed., A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents 1789-1897, 10 vols. (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Gov. Printing Office, published by Authority of Congress, 1897, 1899; Washington, D.C.: Bureau of National Literature and Art, 1789-1902, 11 vols., 1907, 1910), Vol. 1, p. 213-224, Sept. 17, 1796. Tim LaHaye, Faith of Our Fd. Fathers (Brentwood, TN: Wolgemuth & Hyatt, 987), p. 91.)

And yet, for over 80 years, the branches of the Presidency and the Supreme Court have been stealing the power which our Founders gave to the Congress, or reserved to the people and the states. Continue reading →
