As some of you know, I spend quite a bit of time in Frankfort during the General Assembly talking with legislators in an effort to get them to stand where the Bible stands on legislation.  While I’m grateful for the call from the Lord to do it, it can often be one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had.  Here’s why.

Aside from dealing with the few arch liberals who are there, we face two other basic problems with legislators.  One is that most of those who are there for the right reason, simply do not know that the Bible has a method of government.  Thus, though they are very sincere, they often get manipulated into doing what the liberals want.  The Bible analysis in Hosea 4:6 is applicable to them:  “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”  This is why people in their district get so frustrated with their representation in Frankfort not being able to work lasting change for the better.  Ignorance of the Biblical form and method of government steal from their children’s future.

The second problem is worse.  It stems from the sin principle at work in those who don’t know Christ as Lord.  Selfishness is the power that rules this group of government servants, and its affects are Continue reading →

Across America there is a growing desperation. Older citizens fear for what their grandchildren are going to face. Parents fear that their children will experience the violence of a street gang, or rapist, or satanist: Or they fear their teenage daughter may turn up pregnant. With more and more young people using drugs, parents fear their child may get hooked too. Young people fear that their parents may be the next to divorce. People are asking, “Is there anything in this world that is stable?!”

There is an answer to that question! A resounding answer: “YES!!” And you might be surprised to know that, in the past, there have been those who’ve known this stability. The Founding generation in America walked in this stability. And though they were beset with war, economic woes, and having to build a new government in the midst of all this, they still knew where the “Rock” was. They constantly turned to Jesus Christ and His Word as “the stability of their times”. They believed “His Word was truth”, as the Bible taught (John 17:17). They lived out the reality of the Scriptures as they sought to obey it in their personal lives and built it into their institutions. Daniel Webster spoke of them and their faith when Continue reading →

It has always been the plan for Jesus to be the Ruler of this earth.

The prophet, Micah calls Him the “…ruler [of] Israel…” (Micah 5:2).  In Luke 1:32-33 the angel who promised Mary she would have the baby who would be the Savior of the world, also told her,

“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”

Over the last 100 years in America many have suggested that Jesus’ kingdom is only a spiritual kingdom.  And, indeed, He does have a spiritual kingdom; for He rules the souls of those in whose spirit He resides:  Those who have been born again and thus, are part of His kingdom.

But He’s more than a spiritual King.  He is the Creator and Sustainer of this whole universe, and He is the author of civil government.  Civil government is His idea.  He first instituted it with Noah and his sons.  After the great flood, Noah was Continue reading →
