This present Washington Administration talks a lot about removing the guns from private citizens. This is a grave danger which our Founding Fathers protected us from by writing in the Second Amendment that the people have…

“…the right…to keep and bear Arms…”

(Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States)

In 1938 the German Dictator, Adolf Hitler, outlawed the possession of guns by the people under his rule. Once this happened, his full fury was unleashed on those populations who disagreed with his ideas of government. Why did he wait until the guns were removed to fully show how oppressive his government would be? Let him answer that in his own words. He stated at a dinner talk on April 11th, 1942,

“The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall…”

(Adolf Hitler, 4/11/42, Hitler’s Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, 2nd Ed. (1973), Pg. 425-426.)

Pastor Rob McCoy and his church, God Speaks Calvary Chapel in California, won a court case against the Ventura County government in California. They had been threatened with fines and jail time if they didn’t comply with “shut down” measures which government servants tried to force on them. The civil authorities tried to blame the virus as their reason for demanding it. The church argued that this was a violation of their religious liberty. And the church won! Whether or not the court agreed with the church, Pastor Rob and his folks were the ones who were right, because they were doing what the Bible teaches about “assembling ourselves together” (from Hebrews 10:25) so there can be the close contact with other believers whereby the life of Christ in one believer flows to the life of Christ in another believer and that LIFE ministers to both believers—and those who are around them.

Pastor McCoy understands something that few Pastors in America have Continue reading →

“Why Did Americans Fight for Independence?”

Posted on April 24, 2021 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

On April 19th, 1775, seventy-five American farmers faced an overwhelming force of some 600 British professional soldiers. The Americans were out-manned, out-gunned, and out-trained. And when the first shots were fired, nine of the Americans fell dead. Why were they willing to face such overwhelming odds? Were they dreamers? Were they crazy? Were they men of such noble ideas that they were willing to die for them? While they were all these things (except crazy), they had an even greater reason for resisting the King of England. They believed they were obeying the God of the Bible with their resistance. Their Congress had stated:

“Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian…duty of each individual…Continue steadfast, and with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly…defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us.”

(Massachusetts Provincial Congress. 1774, in a resolution. George Bancroft, Bancroft’s History of the United States, Vol. X (Boston: Charles C. Little & James Brown, 3rd Edition, 1838), Vol. VII, p. 229 | Peter Marshall and David Manuel, The Glory of America (Bloomington, MN: Garborg’s Heart’N Home, Inc., 1991), 8.31.)

When our ancestors defended themselves on Lexington Green, and later much more successfully at Concord Bridge, they believed they were walking in a principle of liberty taught in the Bible.

When God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, he told him to “keep it”; that is, to Continue reading →
