Have you ever asked yourself the question: “Why is there so much confusion in the world about Who God is?” Let’s answer that by reading more of the book, Why God Birthed America. I quote from the section about the Dark Ages:

“Satan had always wanted control. His attempt to take over God’s throne in heaven was the very reason he was cast down from his original position as the worship leader of heaven (Ezekiel 28:10-16). Once he was defeated in his attempt to gain control of heaven, the next best thing he could do was to try to gain control of earth. Given the rule of earth by Adam, its God-ordained master, satan had rapidly Continue reading →

A few years ago a State Senator said to me, as I was urging him to stand against the uprising of homosexuals in Kentucky: “I tell you now, I just try to get along with everybody down here”, referring to people in Frankfort. I often hear young people saying what they’ve heard in school or the music of our day: “Let’s just compromise; everybody give a little so we can get along.” I wonder if this state Senator and these young people know that they have been deceived by liberal thinkers of our day into thinking that the foundation of freedom is compromise. This is not what America’s Founders believed!

They believed you must know the truth about every subject as the Bible revealed it. Jesus had said, “If you continue in My Word, then are you My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32) Then once you knew the truth, you must stand for that truth no matter what the cost. This was true in your personal life and it was true in your state and nation. They believed that your personal moral goodness, founded in knowing Jesus Christ as your Master and Savior, was the basis of being able to stand for liberty. If you knew internal self-government of your bodily desires, then you were qualified and empowered to walk in liberty in your community and nation. If you didn’t, you would have to be ruled by someone else. If you couldn’t control yourself, someone else would have to control you. Patrick Henry of Virginia summed Continue reading →

“Attempting Biblical Reformation”

Posted on February 1, 2023 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Polls the last few days reveal that seventy-eight percent of Americans are dissatisfied with this present national government. The tremendous move toward socialism is now producing what it always produces: A falling economy and dissatisfaction among the people.

What should we do? Why not return to the roots of America? Why not return to the Biblical thinking of our Founders concerning education, economy, and government? Indeed, the way we educate is what produces the kind of government we have. Abraham Lincoln said it plainly:

“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”

The emphasis on the Bible brought revival and some reformation to Scotland in the mid-1500s. John Knox, the leader of the Reformation in Scotland, set the example by being a great man of prayer. Iain Murray, who wrote his story, said of Knox that his prayer was Continue reading →
