“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 NIV

How Did the Framers “Ordain and Establish this Constitution”?

Where did the Framers get the audacity that as common citizens of the colonies, they had the authority to frame a form of government “Of the people, by the people and for the people”?

The full quote referred to, was first coined by John Wycliffe in 1384 in the front of his Bible as, “The Bible is for the Government of the people, by the people and for the people.” And it is from the Bible that Christians and patriots have drawn Biblical principles of self and civil government that have increasingly afforded individual liberty.

Moses was guided by God through his father-in-law’s advice in Exodus 18 to let the people choose men that were able, feared God, loved Truth and would not take a bribe to rule over families of 10, 50, 100 and 1000. St. Patrick used this same advice to help the king of Ireland rule justly. King Alfred read St. Patrick’s advice hundreds of years later and ruled England benevolently. He taught the barons and nobles and their children how to read the Bible then held them accountable to be honest and fair with the people or he would remove them from their positions!

In the 1200’s there was a king in England who did not fear God, this was the wicked King John Lackland. He tyrannized people and began Forest Law to prohibit the poor from hunting in “his” forest. He charged horribly high taxes and stole from the people. But God raised up a fearless pastor who knew the Mighty Deeds of God in his country. He wrote the Magna Charta. Then he rounded up the barons and nobles, who were not necessarily righteous men, but Reverend Stephen Langton used them to force this wicked king to sign it at knife point to rein him in under law, God’s law once again!

Hundreds of years later in 1638, Reverend Thomas Hooker taught about 1000 men in Connecticut these same Biblical principles, then these colonists wrote the first state Constitution. The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut affected our national Constitution about 150 years later with its solid Biblical principles.

“The Noah Plan® Mathematics Curriculum Guide (K-12) combines an American abacus-based math curriculum (K-4th grade) with a reasoning and problem solving-based middle school curriculum that unite the area of computation with the science of numbers. This combination lays the foundation for students to succeed in their study of higher level mathematics-algebra through calculus. These Christian methods enable learners to take possession of mathematics, thereby minimizing perpetual drill and review. This principle-based curriculum prepares students to become problem solvers and Christian leaders. This guide has restored American Christian mathematics to God’s purpose for His Story.”

Looking forward to meeting you and to our Biblical and lively discussions!

In Christ,

Bren

Why Read the Word?

Did you know that many of the founding fathers read the Bible through each year? As they were the product of the 1730’s revival, the Word of God was important to them and they made it their priority every day. Can we do the same?

Can we recognize how much the Constitution lines up with Biblical principles of self and civil government? Have you noticed that the first three articles of the Constitution are the enumerated powers for the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches? These line up with Isaiah 33:22 that says:

The Lord is our Judge, The Lord is our Lawgiver, The Lord is our King; He will save us.

The Founders knew that God IS government but when delegating this authority to men, these three areas of responsibility MUST be divided or there would be tyranny. Montesquieu, one of our Founding Fathers’ founding fathers taught this well in “The Spirit of Laws.”

John Locke, another Christian philosopher that our founders learned from taught that, “For men being all the workmanship of one Omnipotent, and infinitely wise Maker; all the servants of one Sovereign Master, sent into the world by His order and about His business, they are His Property, whose workmanship they are, made to last during His, not one another’s Pleasure.”

Do you hear how close this is to Ephesians 2:10:

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

Thomas Paine reasoned from 1 Samuel 8 and Judges 8 in Common Sense to encourage the men of his day to believe God for their liberty, to serve Him alone as their King. This is why their battle cry in defending themselves against the most mighty military power on Earth at that time, was “No other king, but King Jesus!”

Let’s read the Word , through this year in honor of our True King and our country. This will spark the deepest revival with reformation that our generation has ever seen.

So help us, Almighty God? In Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen.

What is the Gospel Purpose for Science?

“The Noah Plan® Biblical Foundations of Natural History (download only) employs the Principle Approach® in teaching and learning the sciences. The foundation and meaning of science are revealed in the Bible – the source of wisdom that inspired Kepler, Galileo, Newton, and Maury. The authors of this guide express the real reason why Biblical and principled teaching provide internally, externally, and eternally the missing ingredients of meaning and purpose within the study of natural history and natural philosophy collectively called science.

“Teaching and learning science from a Biblical principled approach produces lively science scholars who have the mental disposition to see God’s excellent nature and character expressed through His created universe. When God’s principles, both Biblical and governmental, are applied to thinking and communicating scientifically, our students are prepared to wisely handle the sciences and technology of the twenty-first century for the higher purposes of God in Christ, His Story. The authors encourage every reader of this guide to select books that communicate a Biblical worldview and utilize a Christian reflective teaching method.”

The Gospel Purpose for Literature

“Literature is the handmaid of history: this presents the rich elementary, middle school and high school Christian History Literature program originally designed by Rosalie J. Slater. Amplified with practical models and methods of teaching, sample student notebook pages and step-by-step teacher direction, it inspires a high Christian standard of language by building a broad vocabulary and cultivating English language skills (grammar, syntax, orthography and composition). This guide teaches literature as history, the literature of the Bible, and the Bible as the source and seedbed of literature, liberty and poetry. It instills a love of the Bible, classics and excellent literature.”

We will use FACE’s Literature Guide to learn how to lay a Biblical foundation for the Gospel Purpose for Literature.

Should the Church Legislate LIFE?

Recently my friends and I called 160 churches to ask them to petition with us to save pre-born babies. Some hung up, some said they did not want to “get political”, some said they would love to petition “this Sunday”, and some asked how they could help. I would like to share what we experienced. I was asked also to give Historical and Constitutional perspective from a pastor friend of mine.

Join me as I share an overview of several places in the Word and His Story where the Lord wanted His people to advance His cause and kingdom. How does He react when His people shrink back? What is our place in policy setting?

Watch the Video here.

Learn more, sign & share the petition here.

I have more questions than answers. What are YOUR thoughts?
