Man’s Hope—Being God’s Earthsuit
The last thing Jesus said to His followers was, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…” Matthew 28:19-20Let’s pick up from the book Why God Birthed America what happened… Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

“God Invades Human Flesh” Part One History really is just “His Story”—that is—God’s Story. And we are about to see His reason for everything He’s done in this earth—including creating America. The most important part of God’s whole plan is about to be revealed. The unveiling of this centerpiece of “His Story” begins in an obscure village in Palestine called Nazareth. An unknown young maiden is startled one day by a visit from an angel who identifies himself as being no less than Gabriel himself. He tells Mary (for that was her name) that she will have a child and that this child will be called “the Son of the Most High” (Luke 1:32). It was further revealed to her perplexed fiancé, Joseph, that, “She shall bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Mary is shocked! She? Bear the long-awaited “Anointed One”? She was to give birth to the One Who would pay man’s debt to God? She was to bring into this world the One Who would fix what we had messed up in the Garden of Eden? This seemed incredible! Yet, the credibility of this mighty angel standing before her is hardly debatable. Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

“God Invades Human Flesh” Part Two s it possible to live in this present world the way God created us to live? Did God forgive our sin when we were born again just so we could “go to heaven when we die”? Did Jesus come to earth to live as God’s Son, or as the Son of Man? He most definitely was God’s Son—and yet He was unmistakably a man. He had to eat, rest, and sleep just like all other men. He laughed and wept just as all humans have since the dawn of creation. He had to manage money and relate to relatives. Yet the peace and confidence with which He did it all was amazing. It was as if He wasn’t weighted down as others were. He talked about His Father and His Spirit in such a familiar way that They seemed close, not far off in an unreachable heaven. His followers would later come to recognize this uniqueness as the very fulfillment of what God intended man to be all along. Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

“Our Freedom Document” The Bible says, “Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” (Galatians 5:1)
Ladies and Gentlemen: The following document is the reason you and I, in America, are free: “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

"God Invades Human Flesh" Part Three “For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 Thus reads the Scripture about the price God would pay to bring us back to Him. But as Jesus was about to go to the cross, His disciples weren’t thinking about His long-range mission: They were too busy enjoying the recognition they were receiving from the crowds from being associated with Jesus. They were “flying high”! But Jesus had not come to cater to our selfish desires. He would not play the world’s game of trying to build our own self-image by gaining the acceptance of others — neither will He allow His followers to do it. He must bring these disciples to the awakening of who they really were, of why they were here on this earth. All this “acceptance” would shortly meet an abrupt end.

“The Epic Battle” Part One As Jesus faced the epic battle of the ages in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before He would be crucified thoughts that our poor minds cannot begin to conceive 1The Epic Battle-Part 1pounded into His head. And while everything in His body and mind told Him to run away from tomorrow, something deep in His spirit witnessed that He must submit to this death—that He must trust when He couldn’t see. And ultimately, though deserted by those closest to Him in this darkest hour of need, He chose what He had always chosen: To do the will of God. He chose to not just submit to, but embrace the will of His Father. Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

“The Epic Battle” Part Two Jesus went through six mock trials the night before He was crucified. Consider what He went through to bring you back to Himself… While feeling the intense pressure, Jesus is doing what He has done all through His life—He is, with each new attack, turning to the Father and, in His heart, is drinking in the Father’s life. That life has strength and sanity in it, which preserves Him throughout this horrendous night. Make no mistake about it. When those accusations first hit His mind, He felt the same as you do when the enemy is attacking your mind. He felt the blows to His body just like you would feel them. The difference was that, as soon as He felt them, He would—in that instant—look to the Father for another drink of His strength... Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

“The Epic Battle” Part Three A Roman soldier standing over Jesus yells, “Get up! You’ve got a Cross to carry!” 1The Epic Battle-Part3Jesus has just received the tremendous beating with a whip called a “cat o’ nine tails”, so named for the ripping effect it had on bare skin. In His heart Jesus now cries to His Father for strength to get up and finish this course. By a miracle he struggles to His feet and stands woozily, trying to regain His sense of balance. The soldier points commandingly to the cross prepared for Him. Jesus staggers to it, drops to one knee and—embraces the crude, wooden structure destined to bring Him to death. Straining to rise, He lifts the cross and begins to stagger in His weakness out into the street. Dragging His instrument of death, He sets His course for a hill outside of Jerusalem known as Golgotha, “the place of the skull”. The hill was so named because from a distance it bears some resemblance to the side view of a human skull. As if prophetically named, it would be the place Jesus’ head would finally hang in death...

Which Education for Your Child? Recently I learned that 3 Christian schools in our town were now full to capacity. This Which Education for Your Child1increase is an encouraging sign for our area. I hope it indicates that parents may be waking up to what the real effect of humanistic education is—confusion. The battle over whether men can be in women’s bathrooms is now rampant. It is irrefutable evidence that when you leave God out of the education curriculum and methodology the end result is confusion! The Bible names the world system “Babylon”. The word Babylon literally means “confusion” (just one more time when the Bible is proven to be exactly right!). Because we have, more and more, left Biblical education in the last 80 years, we are reaping the confusion we’ve sown in America... Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

The Epic Battle – Part 4 The Roman soldiers had nailed two men to their crosses; ignoring their shrieks of pain, the soldiers rest. It was hard work to kill a man on a cross. One more Man—and the hardest part of this hideous work would be done. One more… But this One was different. Some of the soldiers had noticed the way He had taken the scourging without crying out like most men did. The soldiers who had been at the trials had noticed the way He didn’t answer trumped-up charges, refusing to dignify such accusations with an answer. The times He did speak revealed His deep inner peace. He seemed to be drawing strength from a Source they couldn’t identify, yet was very evident. However, the supreme test was about to occur.

“Trump’s Words or Hillary’s Deeds” Thomas Sowells is a powerful political commentator. He is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and he happens to be of African descent. He analyzes the two Presidential candidates the best I’ve seen. The Bible says, “He that is first [that is: first to speak] in his own cause seems just; but his neighbor comes and searches him [or cross-examines him].” Proverbs 18:17. Donald Trump has been made to look like the egotist he’s often been because of his bad statement about women. He deserves it. However, when you cross-examine Hillary Clinton, she comes out to be the much worse of the two bad candidates. I urge you to consider Thomas Sowell’s analysis of the two candidates.

“Christians, Stand Up and VOTE!” On February 9th, 2016, a group of Kentucky’s Legislators revealed the shenanigans of “politics by politicians” instead of government being operated by statesmen. These “shenanigans” were led by Speaker of the House, Greg Stumbo. Senate Bill 7 would have stopped Kentucky tax dollars from going to that wicked organization which is misleadingly named Planned Parenthood. The bill to defund Kentucky’s Planned Parenthood of Kentucky tax dollars was stuck in a Kentucky House committee, so advocates presented what’s called a procedural bill in order to bring SB 7 to the House floor for an “up or down” vote. The vote to bring out SB 7 so it could be voted on went like this: 47 voted for SB 7 to come to the House Floor for an “up or down” vote. 10 voted against it coming to the Floor. 39 did not vote at all!! When no vote is cast at all in the Legislature, that inaction is counted as a vote against the bill. This meant that 49 Legislators were against defunding Planned Parenthood; 47 Legislators were for defunding Planned Parenthood. To make it even plainer: 47 Legislators wanted to stop hundreds of abortions from happening in Kentucky; 49 Legislators wanted to keep hundreds of abortions happening in Kentucky this year!

“What’s Ahead – Part 1” If Donald Trump keeps his word to the American people—and he has certainly been no shining example of moral rectitude—but if he will keep his word to the American people, we will have at least one Supreme Court judge (and hopefully several) which will be a true Constitutionalist appointed to the Court. We’ll strengthen our military and give them the weapons they need. If Mr. Trump keeps his word, our policemen will be honored and once again unshackled to enforce Constitutional law, instead of sharia or socialist law! Illegal immigration will become a treacherous mountain path instead of the super highway it has been for years! We can expect American industry to recover from years of suffocating socialist regulation. But remember, Mr. Trump has no political record. Therefore, we can’t be sure he’ll do any of the things he promised. Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

Why They Came
The little boy tugged at the young man’s coat sleeve. “How far is it to America?” he asked, “Will we soon be there?” “No, lad,” the man replied, “It will take many days to cross this huge ocean.” The little boy gazed briefly across the ocean to the west. Then, unaware of the risks of such a voyage, he ran to find his friend to tell him this ship, the Mayflower, would be their playground for a long time. The young man continued to gaze across the vast ocean. His thoughts drifted back twenty years—to the time he had first met these people he was now a part of.

“God Was Taking Care of America”
The date was December 7th, 1941. The time was 7:55am. To the complete surprise of American forces in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Japanese planes began to sweep down and drop devastating bombs onto our fleet and also our planes on the ground. When the attack was done, 18 of our ships were sunk or sinking and nearly all of our planes were destroyed. Over 3500 of our servicemen were dead. We were shocked at such a bold and devastating attack on our U.S Navy. Many wondered if the Navy would ever recover. Even worse, we wondered if our liberty would shortly be ended and we would be required to worship the Emperor of Japan as god. Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

“The Christmas Story”
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away [privately]. But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for…he… shall save his people from their sins.’ Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.’ And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.” Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

“We Reap If We Faint Not”
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” This is God’s admonition from Galatians 6:9. But long has been the period that tempted Pro-life folks to “faint” in Kentucky. Early in this century it seemed Kentucky We Reap If We Faint Not1was poised to be one of the most “Pro-life states” in this nation. However, political maneuvering in the House of Representatives killed most every bill designed to protect children in the womb. I remember the frustration of driving away from Frankfort at the end of the Legislative sessions. It was heart-breaking, knowing that thousands of children would be murdered in Kentucky that year because we could not get politicians to enact law that would protect them in their time in the womb. Twelve long years children in the womb languished under oppressive government. But now, finally, many of them (though not yet all) will be protected.

“Amos’ Call to Repentance”
The message of judgment for sins has always been unpopular with those who want to run their own lives. It still is. But the fact remains: No matter how much we try to put off or forget judgment, it will still occur, right on schedule—both in this world and the next. Judgment for rebellion is no pleasant thought when the Judge is a just God who keeps a very detailed, specific record of every thought and every action we’ve ever known. The prophet Amos warned the northern kingdom of Israel that impending doom was near. Click below to read or listen to the entire article:

“God as Judge”
The two Judgments on which hang all eternal destinies and rewards are commonly called The “Great White Throne Judgment” revealed in Revelation 20 (verses 11-15), and “The Judgment Seat of Christ” taught in 2 Corinthians 5:10. The Great White Throne Judgment is the judgment at the end of the world, when all people who rejected Jesus as their personal Lord will individually stand before the throne of God and God will reason with them from the Bible until they fall on their knees and admit they were wrong for not surrendering their individual lives to the rule of Christ. This will be the most fearful time in the history of man, since everyone at that judgment will be turned into hell! Click below to read or listen to the entire article:
