With the election only a month away, the candidates are fervently pushing their agenda, trying to convince us we should trust them with the future of our children. That is what’s at stake, you know. They promise us ‘all will be well’ if we give them our vote. But with all the lies politicians have told us throughout our lives, why should we even bother to vote? Well, the last two generations, many have decided not to. We now think we’ve had a good voter turnout if 50% of those registered to vote get to the polls. Not to mention the huge numbers who haven’t cared enough to even register. How sad!

Why has this happened? Since the 1920s most of our universities have been teaching that there is no God and life is all about us, and our pleasure. Without knowing that the God of the Bible created us in an instant of time, we have no association with Him, which means we have no reason for self-worth, or for committing our lives to worthwhile tasks. We simply “live for the weekend” as many put it.

This spills over into the governmental realm. People who live for pleasure are Continue reading →

Many people wonder why America is going downhill morally. Why is there so much drug use? Why are the gangs with all their violence growing so rapidly? Why is homosexuality capturing so many of our young people? Why do so many people refuse to marry, and instead just “live” with someone? Wrong living comes from wrong thinking; and wrong thinking comes from wrong listening!

The reason for these wrong ideas was pointed out in a Barna Research Group survey taken some years ago in Kentucky. The survey revealed that, while 82% of Kentuckians said they were Christians, over a third of those surveyed said they only attended church once every six months. This poor church attendance mocks the Scriptural command to,

“Not [forsake] the assembling of ourselves together…” (Hebrews 10:25)

But perhaps you’re thinking, “What difference does it make how often someone goes to church?” It makes a lot of difference! It makes a lot of difference to an individual, a family, and a community. It makes a lot of difference to a nation! When you hear the Bible taught in its truth, your mind is Continue reading →

“Picture Reformation”

I often hear people talking about what we need to do to return our nation to “the way it ought to be”. But I wonder how many of them have a clear picture of exactly what is, “what it ought to be”. What would Biblical Reformation in America look like?

Actually, the years just before the American Revolution can give us a good starting point. The honest student of history finds in those years an evidence of a powerful move of God. That is what birthed America. This is all that can change her now. It is to that way of thinking we must return if America is to restore the liberty to get the Gospel to the next generation. A study of the man who spearheaded that revival is a good place to start toward reformation.

His name was George Whitefield. He was an Englishmen who had grown up with no Christian background. His parents ran a tavern; and from the shady characters that came there he learned how to think. He testified that as a boy he was a
