So many people, who say they are believers in Jesus Christ as their Master and Savior, seem to be so hesitant about participating in government.  Nearly half of them are not even registered to vote!  I believe this reveals a much deeper problem than just avoiding government involvement.  It shows a lack of understanding (or you might say ignorance!) of what the Bible says of the position believers have in Christ.

While in my twenties, I was struggling with my walk with Christ.  Some days I’d be mostly obedient.  Some days I’d be mostly disobedient!  I was told by many that this was the normal Christian life; that there would always be a struggle with the flesh and only when we arrived in Heaven would we ever have victory in this warfare.  But I kept coming across passages in the Bible like,

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1st Corinthians 15:57)

and in John 10:10, Jesus said,

“I am come that you might have life…and have it more abundantly.”

You don’t have to be an expert in economy to recognize that what this national government is doing is not only causing our economy to sink lower and lower; it is moving it toward total collapse:  And it would seem as if collapse is the goal of this administration.  Why would they promote socialism when it’s already been tried in America—and failed!!

For the first two-and-a-half years the Pilgrims were here, they tried to live by a socialistic economic system.  They nearly starved to death.  Recognizing the seriousness of their situation, their Governor, William Bradford, called for a meeting of the leaders of the colony.  They had long known their problem was this socialistic system they were laboring under.  The businessmen who had financed their trip had insisted they live by a common storehouse.  In other words, they were to put all their produce into one storehouse, no matter which family had raised that produce.  Then, they were to take out as little as they could get by with for their own needs, and send the rest of it back to England to their financiers as payment for their debt.  The Pilgrims knew this would not work, but the businessmen insisted this is how they must do it.  The Pilgrims well knew the Scripture taught that,

“…if any would not work, neither should he eat.” (2 Thessalonians 3:10)

And they knew that even Christian people, like themselves, had to Continue reading →

“Pastor, America Is in Your Hands!”

While in Washington, D.C., I heard alarming statistics about our nation.  But the most alarming stats were not about government:  They were about churches, and particularly Pastors.  According to a Barna survey conducted in connection with Wallbuilders ministry, only twenty-eight percent of the churches now believe that the Bible is absolutely true.  Ninety percent of the Pastors in those Bible-believing churches say they believe the Bible speaks to current issues.  But get this:  Ninety percent of those Pastors have never preached from the pulpit what the Bible says about the issues of our land!

Pastor, America is in Your Hands! - Heritage Ministries of KentuckyPastors’ AWOL attitude concerning civil government is the reason God’s people don’t know that they must be the ones to watch over civil government, in order to protect the right of the truth to flow to the next generation.  Thus, we’re having trouble deciding if marriage is between a man and a woman only; and if it should be protected by government.  We’re having trouble deciding if homosexuality is a choice or a trait, when we used to be convinced that it was a crime.  We’re even wondering if boys in school should get to use the girls’ bathroom!!

Pastors, if civil government is God’s institution—and Romans 13:1 makes it plain that it is—then should not those of us called to teach the Bible be the ones to reveal the Biblical Structure and Spirit by which government must operate?  Is that not logical?  Is that not right?

America became the greatest nation on earth because Continue reading →
