“The Beginning Of The American Revolution”

Posted on April 15, 2026 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

In April 1775, our forefathers began to defend our Liberty against the greatest army the world had ever seen. It is one of the most noble and inspiring stories in all of history. Let me tell you the story you probably were never taught because it has been purposely left out of textbooks.

The American colonies had become extremely prosperous because of Biblical educational, economic, and governmental systems. They believed their liberty was God-given. They further believed God had blessed their land because the Gospel was allowed to touch all areas of their culture.

But the King of England in the 1770’s was a tyrant who didn’t care for the Gospel because it condemned his lust for power. Thus, in the spring of 1774 he succeeded in getting Parliament to pass the ‘Regulatory Acts’. These laws shut down all the colonial legislatures, which had ruled the colonies since the early 1600’s, and replaced them with his own governors who had dictatorial powers. The Americans knew they had to, at all costs, defend their God-given liberty; thus they began to prepare for war. Still, they were not professional soldiers, but rather farmers and merchants committed to protecting their homes against the army of their own government.

“It’s Enough!”

Posted on April 8, 2026 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

When rulers try to rule without “the fear of God” (Exodus 18:21), they miss the very foundation of success. The worldview that denies the existence of God, as well as His right to rule us and our institutions can end only in confusion and death to liberty. That’s why in recent programs we’ve been sharing the Biblical foundations for ourselves and our nation from the book Why God Birthed America. We continue with the story of Jesus’ Resurrection:

“What Mary didn’t see in that Garden was the host of others who were there. The many believers from the past who were standing around Jesus, waiting for the most triumphant entry ever staged. They were the ‘spirits of just men made perfect.’ (Hebrews 12:22-23) Abel, Noah, Moses, David, Daniel and many, many others. They did not yet have their new bodies, like the one Jesus had. But they knew His was the certain promise that theirs would one day come. (Ephesians 1:14)

“He was leading them from Paradise (the place where they had been at rest ever since their death) into heaven. The Father in heaven had ever wanted them with Him, but something had to happen first. Since all the spirit realm operates on legal principles (Psalms 94:20), there was a legality that must be taken care of before they could enter the Presence of the Almighty God.

“As they reached the gate of heaven, they found it opening to them. Light more brilliant than the mind can conceive shines from the other end of this main street of heaven. The angels bow and worship, announcing the return of the Son of God. Jesus strides toward the end of that street. He walks right up to the throne of the Almighty, Creator God, His Father. And then, the most sublime act in all of history is done by Jesus: He simply stretches His hands toward the Father, palms up, presenting the blood of His fresh wounds.

“The Price Paid For Our Redemption”

Posted on April 1, 2026 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

Ladies and Gentlemen, the following story is why you and I can know God…

“…This One was different. Some of the soldiers had noticed the way He had taken the scourging without crying out like most men did. The soldiers who had been at the trials had noticed the way He didn’t answer trumped-up charges; refusing to dignify such accusations with an answer. The times He did speak revealed His deep inner peace. He seemed to be drawing strength from a Source they couldn’t identify, but yet was very evident.

“However, the supreme test was about to occur.

“The soldiers get up, shift their armor into place, and start to form a circle around Jesus. But then they see something that they’ve never seen in all their years of crucifying men. Jesus, of His own will, moves over to His cross, and stretches Himself out on it. He then extends His hands and waits for the nails. They are shocked! Never, among all the many experiences of crucifixion they’ve had, have they ever had anyone willingly accept a cross. This Man is different! Jesus actions seem to say, “No one takes my life from Me; I lay it down willingly.” But why? Why would He embrace a cross?
