Stand up and Stand Strong

A word of encouragement to our pastors, who, now more than ever, are on the front lines of the culture war given the assault on marriage and religious liberty.

John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, a lesser-known hero of the War for Independence, was a pastor and a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. In 1775, he preached a sermon on Ecclesiastes 3:1 — “For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.”

Pastor Muhlenberg closed his sermon with these words:

“In the language of Holy Writ, there is a time for all things. There is a time to preach and a time to fight. And now is the time to fight.”
He then removed his clerical robes and revealed to the congregation that he was wearing the uniform of an officer in the Continental Army.

Pastor Muhlenberg’s example of a man of God fighting for our God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should give increased fervor and devotion most especially to those who lead us in the fight for faith, family and freedom.

Like few times in our nation’s history, this is a time to fight for the values we cherish!   — Gary Bauer

Our  country, America, has been slipping further and further away from the God of the Bible — the foundation that our nation was built upon.

A couple years ago, America’s prophet, Billy Graham, compared America to the ancient city-state of Nineveh.  Billy Graham has provided spiritual counsel to every President from Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush.

When the prophet Jonah finally traveled to Nineveh and proclaimed God’s warning, the people repented and avoided judgment.  There was also another prophet who went to Nineveh with a word of warning.  We tend to forget about him.  When that particular prophet went to Nineveh they did not listen to him and the punishment which had been previously deferred due to national repentance came upon the people.

If anyone wonders whether the founding fathers thought the federal government should define marriage and not the states, and whether it should interfere with our religious beliefs, here is what Thomas Jefferson thought:

Thomas Jefferson letter to Samuel Miller

Date: January 23, 1808

I consider the government of the United States as interdicted by the Constitution from inter-meddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises. This results not only from the provision that no law shall be made respecting the establishment or free exercise of religion, but from that also which reserves to the States the powers not delegated to the United States. Certainly, no power to prescribe any religious exercise or to assume authority in any religious discipline has been delegated to the General Government. It must then rest with the States.

In many ways America is like ancient Nineveh.  The wickedness of Nineveh was such that God said that it was recognized in Heaven, “The sin of Nineveh has come before Me,” and I believe that America is at such a state with over 50 million babies aborted.  The Abortion Ruling was an unjust decision which stripped away state’s rights regarding the issue.  The SCOTUS ruling regarding Same Sex Marriage was merely another move by unjust judges stripping away State’s rights and imposing their immorality without regard to the Constitution or the majority of the American people’s opinion or their deeply held religious views.

Following the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage Obama gave a speech in which he proclaimed that Americans have to change their deeply held religious views and he then encouraged the Gaystapo to “help” make that happen.  “Shifts in hearts and minds is possible,” said the wannabe totalitarian dictator, “and those who have come so far on their journey to reach back and help others to join them.”  {small wonder, then, that so many on the left looked to him as their messiah – see my book “The Antichrist of Our Time” for documentation or do your own google-search}

Sorry, but we mere humans cannot change what the word of God says.  God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  What He has called sin He still calls sin and He has proclaimed that those who refuse to stop their sinful practices will find themselves barred from entrance into His kingdom.

Heaven is not like a certain world-famous fast-food place; you don’t get it your way, you get it God’s way and that is the only way you can get it.  Even though He offers salvation freely to all, we still have to approach Him on His terms, not ours.

It is in times like this that we need to strengthen ourselves by reading and more carefully studying the book most hated by liberals which was penned by their greatest enemy whom they can never defeat.

1 Peter 1: 19-21  And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

No one can beat Israel

israel

Stand in opposition to Israel and you are needlessly putting your very own soul in jeopardy.  Many centuries ago God declared He would put the Jews back into the land; not because they deserve it but because of who He is.

The wise move is to stand with Israel because the one true God has already chosen sides.  Don’t like it, don’t whine to me about it; take it up with God.

It is in times like this that we need to strengthen ourselves by reading and all the more carefully studying the book most hated by liberals which was penned by their greatest enemy, whom they can never defeat.

1 Peter 1: 19-21  And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

SCOTUS – Christian religion is the established religion

What This Supreme Court Justice Ruled About Christianity in 1799 Isn’t Taught in Public Schools Today

Samuel Chase was a signatory of the Declaration of Independence and served on the U.S. Supreme Court. While not as famous as some of his contemporaries, he’s still important for a number of reasons.

One of them, a ruling in a 1799 Supreme Court case, will drive liberals nuts. Needless to say, you’re not going to hear about this ruling in public schools.

Back when Supreme Court justices would also serve on lower courts, Chase would write the opinion for the Massachusetts Supreme Court case of M’Creery’s Lessee v. Allender.

The case involved whether an Irish immigrant by the name of Thomas M’Creery had become a naturalized U.S. citizen and whether he was eligible to leave his estate to a relative in Ireland.

“Thomas M’Creery, in order to become … naturalized according to the Act of Assembly … on the 30th of September, 1795, took the oath … before the Honorable Samuel Chase, Esquire, then being the Chief Judge of the State of Maryland … and did then and there receive from the said Chief Judge, a certificate thereof. … ‘Maryland; I, Samuel Chase, Chief Judge of the State of Maryland, do hereby certify all whom it may concern, that … personally appeared before me Thomas M’Creery, and did repeat and subscribe a declaration of his belief in the Christian Religion, and take the oath required by the Act of Assembly of this State, entitled, An Act for Naturalization,’” Chase’s opinion read.

Not only that, in another 1799 case — Runkel v. Winemiller — Chase opined that Christianity was America’s established religion.

“Religion is of general and public concern, and on its support depend, in great measure, the peace and good order of government, the safety and happiness of the people. By our form of government, the Christian religion is the established religion; and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed upon the same equal footing, and are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty,” he wrote (H/T WND).

Chase’s words aren’t oft repeated by liberals, and for good reason. It completely destroys their myth of church and state separation.

However, that doesn’t mean we can’t remind them of Samuel Chase’s bold statement about Christianity’s place in American life.

Pastors, Now is the Time to Stand Against Tyranny!

Pastors, Now is the Time to Stand Against Tyranny!

 There are tens of millions of evangelical Christians in the United States, and millions do not participate in politics even though the Bible says that the civil magistrate is a “minister of God” (Rom. 13:4). Millions of these Christians don’t participate in the political process because their pastors are either afraid to address political issues or they believe that Christians would not get mixed up in politics.

Either reason is contrary to the Bible and the history of this once-great nation. “To the pulpit, the PURITAN PULPIT, we owe the moral force which won our Independence,”John Wingate Thornton wrote in The Pulpit of the American Revolution. Too many Christians don’t believe or know this history.

Many Christians believe they can be neutral. But there is no neutrality. By not engaging culture at the political level, another worldview dominates and impacts all of us. We must then live under their standard, as we are doing today.

Founding American ministers of the gospel confronted the issues of their day by appealing to the people in terms of the Bible. The annual “Election Sermon” still “bears witness that our fathers ever began their civil year and its responsibilities with an appeal to Heaven, and recognized Christian morality as the only basis of good laws.”In addition, the clergy were often consulted by the civil authorities in the colonies, “and not infrequently the suggestions from the pulpit, on election days and other special occasions, were enacted into laws. The statute-book, the reflex of the age, shows this influence. The State was developed out of the Church.”

The diminishing light of civil liberty in this land is linked directly to the lack of preaching on it in today’s pulpits…
