The immigration issue in America looms as a very real dividing line for the population of this nation. Many scream at each other across that line as if their view is the final authority on the issue. We ought not be surprised at this, since we are allowing our children to be taught through the media, the curriculum, and the education method we use, to think they establish their own “morality” since there are no absolutes. So where do we look for the truth concerning immigration into a nation? We must look to the source of all truth: The Bible. God is not silent concerning nation building; of which immigration is a part. Let’s look at what He says.

First, that God gives to nations boundaries is plain from the boundaries HE gives to nations. Acts 17:26 states:

“And [God] hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined…the [boundaries] of their habitation;”

Thus, the people of a nation, through their Representatives in their government have the right to establish a Biblically based method for immigrants to come to their country and become citizens. This necessarily means that they have the right to keep out of their country those who are not willing to meet the qualifications to enter and live there. The fact that we’ve not required each citizen born here to meet the agreement that immigrants have to meet is the root of why we can’t find solutions to our current immigration problem. The real issue is the Biblical concept of covenant, which means “the meeting of minds”.

Secondly, God wants nations to be willing to receive others who ARE willing to meet the requirements of that nation’s covenant. This is Continue reading →

Who were the thinkers behind the American Revolution which would give birth to the greatest Republic the world had ever seen? Actually, men like Washington, Jefferson, or even Samuel Adams, were not the “root” thinkers of that Revolution. You may be surprised, but the truth is: It was the Pastors who inspired the thinking that brought about the American Revolution. They taught it in the churches! The Provincial Congress of Massachusetts stated in 1774:

“…we cannot but acknowledge the goodness of Heaven in constantly supplying us with preachers of the Gospel whose concern has been the temporal and spiritual happiness of this people…and do therefore recommend…that they assist us in avoiding that dreadful slavery with which we are now threatened…”

(Christian History of the American Revolution, V. Hall (F.A.C.E. pub.), p.402)

The inspiration for the Battle of Lexington and Concord, which began the Revolutionary War, was none other than Jonas Clark, Pastor of the Church in Lexington for twenty years before the Revolution. It was Continue reading →

The Bible states: “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34) Thus, revealing to us the pathway to becoming a great nation. “Great” being defined as: “Providing the greatest amount of liberty for the greatest number of people” in a nation.

This is what happened in America during the first three centuries of our existence. This was proven by the fact that so many people wanted to come here. Life was simply better here than in most other countries of the world. So, the people came. They still want to, even though we’ve lost much of the “righteousness” we once walked in. However, present backsliding does not take away from the truth of the righteousness that was walked in for the first two-thirds of our history. Indeed, if we’re going to Continue reading →
