“Reformation Day”

Posted on October 29, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

On October 31st, a lot of people in this land will celebrate Halloween. Though begun as a day to remember many Godly people and the truth they gave to the world, it has degenerated into becoming the high day of satanism throughout the world. Hideous acts of worship to satan will be done on this night. The occult will have its greatest celebration on this night. But it was not always so in America.

Up until the mid-1800s, America celebrated a different day on October 31st. It was known as Reformation Day; and it reminded Americans of the great price that was paid for the “liberty of conscience”. It was a celebration of the liberty brought to the personal life and the life of the nation as a result of men laying down their lives to stand with the truth of the Bible.

That liberty had begun with John Wycliffe, an Englishman in the mid-1300s, who translated the Bible into the language of the common people. Being able to read the Bible caused men to question the occultic superstitions of the back-slidden church of that day. It also pointed the way to civil liberty. Wycliffe actually wrote in the introduction to his translation these words, which would become the cornerstone of this American Republic, he stated:

“The Must Of Biblical Education”

Posted on October 22, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

A leader among America’s Founding Fathers made the following statement about education:

“We have a dangerous trend beginning to take place in our education…We’ve become accustomed of late of putting little books into the hands of children containing fables and moral lessons…We are spending less time in the classroom on the Bible, which should be the principal text in our schools…The Bible states these great moral lessons better than any…man-made book.”

(Ames, Fisher. September 20, 1789, in an article published in the Palladium magazine. | D. James Kennedy, The Great Deception (Fort Lauderdale, Florida: Coral Ridge Ministries, 1989; 1993), p. 3.)

Thus spoke Fisher Ames, the Founding Father who authored the wording of the First Amendment to the Constitution. Could this Founder have possibly wanted the “separation of church and state” idea that liberals now use to remove the Bible from schools?

But to continue with our thoughts on education: Since education teaches children how to think; and since, in the next generation, those thought processes become the ideas which operate our economy and our government, as well as our education system; education is the most important cultural institution of the three. Nothing is more important in the life of a Republic than what is taught to its children!

So, if America became the greatest nation in world history, what type of education made it that? Listen again to the words of Fisher Ames, he asked:

“Columbus And The Gospel”

Posted on October 15, 2025 by Heritage Ministries of Kentucky

In just the last few days we have celebrated Columbus Day. But why do we celebrate this day? I remember learning in school that Columbus discovered America, but I don’t ever remember hearing why Columbus discovered America.

When we read Columbus’ own writings, it becomes obvious he decided to make his journey because of inspiration from God, his Creator. Columbus wrote,

“It was the Lord who put into my mind (I could feel His hand upon me)…that it would be possible to sail from here to the Indies. All who heard of my project rejected it with laughter…[But] There is no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit, because He comforted me with rays of marvelous inspiration from the Holy Scriptures…”

(Columbus, Christopher. August 3, 1492, as recounted by Bartolome’ de Las Casas. Samuel Eliot Morison, Admiral of the Ocean Sea (Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1942), p. 149. | John Eidsmoe, Columbus & Cortez, Conquerors for Christ (Green Forest, AR: New Leaf Press, 1992), p. 106.)

While there are those who reject the idea that God can lead us in this world and make plain to us what He wants us to do, the Bible is plain that, in reality, God created us for that very kind of life. Jesus said,
