As America’s Founding Fathers were growing up as children one of the greatest revivals in all of history was occurring.  It would come to be called “The Great Awakening” as the Holy Spirit of God awakened Americans to the faith their Pilgrim ancestors had known so well.  The Bible became the standard once again for morals as well as manners.  They would grow up with the view of God and the view of man which the Bible revealed.  The Ten Commandments would set the boundaries for what was right and wrong in their generation.  The Biblical structure for education, business, and government would become their quest in building their society.  Their view of God was not the “teddy bear” god we’ve tried to shaped Him into in our day; rather, it was the Biblical revelation of Him as the awesome Creator and Ruler of all that is.  Because He was our Maker and Redeemer (in Christ) He was the One Who would be our Judge.

Thus, our current view of ourselves as being the focus of life was not their view.  They believed what the Bible teaches about man:

It could be easy to look around us and be discouraged with the many bad things we see. Recent gains by the homosexual agenda in Colorado, California, and New York; and also, in California a court ruled that homeschool parents would have to either be certified by the state or stop teaching their children at home. Chaplains in our armed services have been told they will have to stop praying in Jesus’ Name. And I could go on and on. The day does indeed seem dark.

So what are we to do? Should we accept this darkness as the fulfillment of prophecy that “in the last days perilous times shall come”, and interpret that to mean there’s nothing we can do to protect the liberty of our children to hear the Gospel of the Kingdom of Christ?

While the day is dark, let’s remember that Jesus first came to this earth when it was Continue reading

In the beginning, when God made man, He intended that man should be a vessel of His own life; having the very life of God flow through His spirit, soul, and body. But we chose not to allow God to come to live inside us and release His life through us, by eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil—instead of eating of the Tree of Life. Thus, we stepped outside the Order of God and starting operating in a different system than that for which we were designed (Genesis 3). We began to try to provide for ourselves by selfish acts. If we had surrendered to God and allowed His life to come inside us, everything we needed for life would have flowed up and out through us. The work we would have done would have been for the purpose of working with God: Not for the purpose of making sure we had enough to eat. Thus, we flipped God’s system on its head and began to operate from a completely different system than God designed for us.

Thus, now, once we turn to Christ and surrender to Him as Lord, He begins to Continue reading
