Righteous Bold Lions fight for Godly Freedom

Proverbs 28:1 tells us that “The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” … It goes on to say in verse 2, “When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.”

What a thought-provoking observation of contrasts! Do you see it? The upstanding Righteous leaders who are bold as a lion… are as different from the wicked who are fearfully looking over their shoulders, because of all the wicked deeds that have earned them many enemies… as the wise, discerning, and organized ruler is peculiarly distinct from the multitude of bureaucratic rulers of a land of cowering rebels.

Benjamin Franklin wrote that “A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.”

When you return from a day at work, or out shopping, or driving on the highways, or just interacting with the general public, would you say that the God-fearing, morally pure population of your country is “flourishing” and increasing in authority over the land?

Remember… all that must happen for evil to flourish in a culture is for the good people to keep quiet and do nothing. Light dispels darkness. It’s not the other way around.

It’s no wonder the enemy of humankind successfully deceives so many to think they should just let their little light be hid under a ‘basket’ and cower in the shadows of the evil influences. That’s how to keep low-information voters in the dark, ignorant, and fear-filled by whatever demonic deception they think they can’t overcome by faith in the Giver of all good things from above.

The Creator of Mankind is regaining Center Stage of Human attention

Marks of a recovering society begin with the bold declaration that truth, transparency, and discernment have increasing proclamation in the public square. Even more encouraging is that more and more people, whose loved ones around them have been battered down by destructive lies, are willing to stand up to question the narratives of those who’ve overtaken society’s trusted institutions of information. They’re willing to challenge the “sacred cows” of their corrupted society.

Who Will Rebuild the Ancient Ruins of Godly Education?

Today’s generation can hardly imagine what it was like in the local schools across our nation in the past. Before the dawning of the “age of Aquarius” in the 1960s nobody would have imagined the subsequent plundering of public education by secular atheists. American society once considered it normal to focus on the development of the inner man and personal integrity. Morality in culture was highly esteemed. So was an intense pursuit of Scriptural wisdom. The school teachers and communities of Early American school houses deliberately prioritized those concepts. At their hearts, American communities believed that the education of their children was built on the premise that virtue is absolutely essential to freedom.

The ridiculous problems that every common-sense American sees corrupting our society’s institutions today realizes the source. Even if President Abe Lincoln didn’t really originate the idea, who can doubt the fact that “The philosophy of the classroom today will be the philosophy of government tomorrow?”

The Platinum Rule – Helping Others Reach their Goals

“Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Phil. 2:4
Imagine how refreshing it would be to be surrounded by people who really think like that and actually live that way.
How would you like to work for a company where that is the resounding mission that resonates from every coworker? How would you like to have a church family where that is the conviction of every leader and every parishioner? How would you like a community where that is the code of ethics practiced by all your neighbors? How would you like a family where that is the lifestyle from morning until bedtime? How would you like to be the embodiment of that concept and participate in a complete reformation of your culture? Imagine… thoughtfully and intentionally helping people reach their goals. What a relationship-building concept. And it all starts with you. Could this be hidden in the Bible for those who pursue the righteous path of the LORD’s “chosen fast?”
“And the LORD will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.” Isa 58:11
Sounds like a pretty good result doesn’t it? Who wouldn’t want that for themselves? So, how does this manifest? Check out the verse immediately preceding that promise. Like most promises from God, there is a condition… it starts with the little word “if.”
“And if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom will become like midday.” Isa. 58:10
But a charitable attitude is something you can have toward not only destitute people. Why not have that attitude toward those we interact with on a daily basis?

Reclaiming Your Legacy is A Mission to Plant God’s Ways in the Next Generation

It’s easy to realize that we all live in a very broken world … filled with broken people … suffering varying degrees of brokenness and dysfunction. Few of us have the rare privilege of being coached from birth by a mother AND a father who also grew up in a God-fearing family who lived close to God’s earth, watching how His natural creation worked – learning what was once called common sense, humane decency, and the grace and peace of the Master Teacher of Divine Righteousness and Eternal Truth… Jesus our Lord.

That’s why Reclaiming our Legacy is a righteous goal. And, of course we’re talking about a righteous legacy… one that was ultimately received by any of our early ancestors who discovered God’s Kingdom and surrendered their lives to our Redeemer, God’s Son, Jesus, the Messiah. We acknowledge that our generation is in a mess. But we have a truly heavenly roadmap… and it’s filled with hope. It’s more like a blueprint to guide us in the rebuilding of a lost masterplan for life… life as it was meant… by Our Creator… to be lived. And that’s because it was His idea to have a family… a family of sons and daughters… And those children are designed uniquely to be eager to discover and learn all the wonderful insights that would give them the wisdom and skills to train up families of their own. And then, those families would grow in the Master Designer’s love and understanding just how life was meant by the Creator to be lived.

Awakening to the Reality of Spiritual Warfare

As Abraham was blessed to be a blessing, God’s signal blessings on America are a vivid testimony of our legacy to bless the entire world. We’re part of God’s providential strategy to redeem our sin-sick planet. Abraham’s righteous descendants gave us the Messiah, who redeemed us all by God’s grace. America’s calling is to advance the good news of our Messiah’s finished work to the forgotten people groups throughout the world. Nothing is hated by the Devil and hell’s demons more that this.

Our Ambassador Assignment to Stand Strong in the Culture War

Secularism and paganism permeate every influential part of society: Science, Education, religion, Medicine, Industry, The Marketplace, Entertainment and journalism. Unfortunately, most of the soldiers on the traditional Biblical side of the war are AWOL – absent without leave. Many of them don’t even recognize there’s a war on. And most of them have no idea what the enemy is doing to effectively anesthetize them and win the prize of this war. What is the prize?

Our Creator God of Genesis is Completely Set Apart from Pagan gods

In today’s world ‘captivity’ can easily be seen in the darkness and agony of those trapped in human trafficking as well as those trapped in undeniably pain-filled evils of addictions and self-destructive behaviors of all kinds. But captivity is a reality by which even the most highly esteemed among us can be endangered. Afterall, we’re surrounded by a society, overwhelmed by a vast typhoon of voices. Many of those voices are deliberately mesmerizing us into endless temptations to fear men and what they can do to us, rather than to fear God and accept His mercy. Inevitably, all of us are in danger of captivity because we lack knowledge! …particularly the knowledge of God.

Unfortunately, many have become so damaged, so jaded, so disconnected from the true and living God of Creation, that they’ve become hopeless. Their hurt, often turned to scars by people and events often which were beyond their control, has sadly worsened into a burdening ‘callous’ of cynicism, bitterness, and vulgarity. They need the saving grace and perfect peace of The Savior as much as anybody does.

Here’s where the realities of the truths of the Bible need to be presented as an anvil that can withstand the blows of doubt and criticism that imperfect humans have leveled at it for centuries. And, as much as many of us would like to start with Jesus and His gospel of the kingdom of God, when it comes to the challenge of speaking truth into the lives of an unbelievably twisted and warped generation, it’s not a bad idea to begin… with the beginning – Genesis. And that’s just what the word “genesis” means… ‘beginning.’

Created for Purpose – a life of unfolding Providence

Many reach middle age, watch their children grow up, welcome grandchildren into the world, and quietly wonder, “Have I already done the important part of my life—and now I’m just coasting?” Scripture offers a very different picture. It tells us that from the very beginning, God has been a God of purpose—He creates intentionally, He calls personally, and He uses His people meaningfully in every generation and in every season.
