Can we stop abortion in America?  Can we stop the homosexuals from forcing their lifestyle on our children?  Can we ever turn the divorce rate back?  What about our economy?  Can we get it going again?  Is there any hope that we can see our education system once again teaching our children both academics and discipline?

I want to say a resounding “YES!” to these questions.  But the method I want to put forth to accomplish this may surprise you.

First, I urge you, as a citizen, in America, stop looking to Washington to fix things.  Most people in our national government don’t have a clue as to what it will take to solve these overwhelming problems.  Their answer generally is just to throw money at it; that fixes nothing and creates a whole new set of problems.  So how do we go about restoring our nation to the greatness it once knew?

Are you ready for this?  We fix ourselves!

We choose to come back to the Biblical foundation on which America’s Founders built this nation.  This means I start—and you start, as an individual, to Continue reading

Recently a young friend of mine sent me an article he was disturbed about.  A man who, no doubt, is a sincere believer, was saying Christians should not be involved in government because, as he said, “God’s kingdom isn’t here on earth”.  He went on to put forth the idea that our work as Christians is to share the Gospel with the lost, not to lobby in government.

This is a common mistake I hear believers make.  They divide life into the ‘spiritual’ and the ‘secular’ parts.  In their thinking, neither is supposed to affect the other.

Is God’s kingdom only in heaven?  If that were true, why did God say in Genesis 1:26 that the reason He made us was so we would be “…in His image, after His likeness, and have dominion over…all the earth (emphasis added)?  If we were made to look like God, live like God, and rule like God, as this verse teaches, whose kingdom did He desire to be on this earth?

Perhaps you’re thinking, “But that was Continue reading

“Education Determines the Nation’s Thinking”

One of America’s most important Founding Fathers made the following statement about education:

Education Determines the Nations Thinking 1“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 other manmade book.”

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” that liberals now say that Amendment supports?

But to continue with our thoughts on education:  Since education teaches children how to think; and since those thought processes become Continue reading
