ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: OUR FOREFATHERS’ COVENANTS, Part 5

2019-11-06T09:48:42+00:00January 17th, 2020|2020, ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK:|

It becomes pretty clear when you read some of the early founders’ documents that they had a VERY strong purpose in establishing this nation – as well as the early colonies – as a place where Jesus Christ is Lord!   The way they expressed themselves back then would go over about like a lead balloon today, but when you realize that they were fed up with a state-sponsored religion, as was England, it isn’t hard to understand their vehemence. Last week, we quoted the first part of Maryland's Act Concerning Religion. There’s a lot more to go, so let’s take a look at it. An Act Concerning Religion (continued)

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: OUR FOREFATHERS’ COVENANTS, Part 4

As you will see (and continue to see) in the following documents, the term, “religion” did not mean, Buddhist, Muslim, Confucianism, or any of a host of other non-Jesus Christ honoring beliefs. For our early settlers and founding fathers, “religion” simply meant differing denominations or sects, but all believing in the same fundamental tenets of Christianity. They could differ on doctrines, but NOT on the supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ.

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: OUR FOREFATHERS’ COVENANTS, Part 3

2019-11-06T09:43:15+00:00January 3rd, 2020|2020, ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK:|

After our Christmas and New Year’s holiday break, let’s continue looking at the specific wording that our early settlers used in describing the covenants they made with each other in the establishing of this country. Two weeks ago, I said that we would take a look at the charter that John Winthrop wrote (actually, he wrote it jointly with roughly a dozen other men) for the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It would take up all of today's Coffee Break, and then some, if we were to quote the entire charter; but there is a paragraph in the charter germane to our ongoing discussion, and that's where I'd like to begin today.

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: CHRISTMAS 2019

2019-11-06T09:18:42+00:00December 27th, 2019|2019, ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK:|

It has been a constant source of amazement to me that Jesus has always been painted as poor and indigent -- never mind what the Word clearly states. Ever since the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., error after error after error has crept into the body of Christ and promulgated with traditions that have no validity in the Word. The compromises that Constantine made with church leaders in order to bring the Roman Army into the church and declare them to be "Christian" have contaminated the truth ever since.

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: OUR FOREFATHERS’ COVENANTS, Part 2

2019-11-06T08:52:07+00:00December 20th, 2019|2019, ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK:|

Once again, Good Morning! Let’s pick up today where we left off last week. Some folks have wondered why, when I deal almost exclusively with spiritual issues and what Holy Spirit is saying to His people today, that I would seem to deviate from that to talk about the foundations of our government. Unfortunately, our society today has attempted to separate matters of government from spiritual issues, and especially Christianity.

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: OUR FOREFATHERS’ COVENANTS, Part 1

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning! After weeks of making reference to this series which deals with the foundations of our nation, we're actually going to begin with it today. You will see, as this series unfolds, that every single one of the 50 states in our union recognizes that their existence, as a body politick, flows from God. The rejection of this principle by modern politicians is a huge contributing factor in the chaos which has unfolded since prayer was removed from public schools, and gradually from public discourse.

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: OUR COVENANT, Part 10

2019-09-28T06:30:59+00:00December 6th, 2019|2019, ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK:|

My hope and plan is to wrap up this part of the series on Covenant today. We’re into this subject now for two and a half months, and we still have a long ways to go! My objective is to now begin sharing on the Covenant that our founding fathers made with the Lord for the establishing of America as a land – a country – dedicated to the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
