To any honest, diligent student of history it is obvious that the generation of America’s Founders was one of (if not the) wisest generations that ever walked this earth. The Republic they gave birth to would rival the greatest nations on earth after only fifty years. Many political thinkers would come here just to try to find the secret of the genius of this Republic. Since then, probably more people have, of their own free will, immigrated here than to any other nation on earth; which shows us the greatness of what they created.

Where did America’s Founders get this kind of wisdom? Who taught them as children and young people in such a way so as to produce the greatest nation in world history? It was Continue reading →

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this…”?  Do you know what document contains these words that I just read?  It could just be that your life—and the life of your children—depends on it!

Rediscovering Our Constitution - Heritage Ministries of KentuckyJohn Jay was one of America’s Founders who would become the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.  His great wisdom guided us in those early years as our Constitution was being tested.  His understanding of liberty and how it passed to the next generation is so powerful—and pertinent to our present day.  He wisely stated:

“…But let it be remembered that whatever marks of wisdom…may be in your constitution, yet like the…forms of our first parents before their Maker breathed into them the breath of life, it is yet to be animated…From the people it must receive Continue reading →

Gods First Step toward Fixing Us 1When I was ten years old, three ladies in the community where I grew up in Pike County, Kentucky came faithfully to our school each week to teach us the Bible.  They taught us Who God was, who we were, and what His plan was for our lives.  One of the things they taught us was to memorize the Ten Commandments.  Then they told us God wanted us to obey those Commandments.  So I decided I would obey the Ten Commandments.  I committed myself to “Have no other gods” before God, my Creator.  I committed to not steal or lie or desire what belonged to somebody else.  I committed to always obey my parents.  Was I in for an awakening!  I found out that, try as I might, sooner or later, I would break one of those Ten Commands.  And you see, our Bible teachers knew that’s exactly what would happen:  Because that’s the very reason God gave those Commands.

Perhaps you’re thinking:  “Don, I don’t understand.  Why would God give us a command that we couldn’t keep?”  He does so because He’s wiser than we are.  You see, He knows that when we refused to let His life indwell us in the Garden of Eden, we received instead “darkness” to indwell us.  That is:  We lost our understanding of why we were alive.  From then on, satan planted different ideas in our mind about Who God was and why we were alive.  As we believed his lies, we plunged into darkness about the reason for our existence.  Selfishness replaced purpose.  This would Continue reading →
