Creator Endowed Rights / By Michael Jones 2008

A July 4th Recognition From The Christian Perspective

Intro.
1. 4^th July
2. Most people have forgotten. Without God there would have been no 4^th of July.
3. John Adams: “The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”• “[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”
Patrick Henry: “It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Declaration of Independence.
1. 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, —
2. Unalienable – unable to be surrendered.
The fundamental premise of government is that there is a God and He has given us rights.
1. governments are instituted to protect our rights
2. The Whole American system is that there is a creator, he gave us rights, and we use our rights to create governments to protect our rights and nothing more.
You have to realize that they cannot be taught in our schools today. God has been outlawed in our schools and so the fundamental premise of our government is not taught. Self government has been replaced with self-esteem.
It is the statement that there is a creator and that creator has given man unalienable rights, that set men free for the first time in the history of the world.
1. Nothing like this had ever been thought of before
2. The people grant rights to government.
The Decoration Of Independence was the basis for the Constitution.
If you study the Constitution it will always bring you back to the God of the Holy Bible.
Benjamin Franklin: “God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?
Natural Law
American Revolution vs. French Revolution
1. Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau – Enlightenment - Man is basically good. If you make mans environment good then he will be good. Accountable to man.
2. Madison, Adams…et al said that Man was basically evil at heart and should be bound down by the chains of the constitution. Accountable to God.
3. Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
4. Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
5. Right and wrong comes from a higher authority. That’s why man will never be good. When man rules he can change what is right and wrong at his whim. When God rules right and wrong never changes. We are not to trust in the Wisdom of man; we are to trust in the Lord God Almighty. That’s why America thrived and grew so fast. We trusted God, and held fast to his word
Republic VS Democracy
1. There has been a major movement afoot to completely strike every mention in government and in the press of our Constitutional republic. Now the word for our Government “Republic” has been replaced with the word Democracy.
2. We are not a democracy.
3. The founders hated Democracy.
4. James Madison, “... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death."
5. Samuel Adams: “Democracy never lasts long,” he noted. “It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself.” He insisted, “There was never a democracy that ‘did not commit suicide
6. Democracy is not a stable form of Government. It is a transitional form of Government from freedom to slavery.
7. Under Demo. You get your rights from man; under a Republic you get your rights from god.
8. Now you see why you here the word “Democracy” so much in the news and by our elected officials. They have rejected God. Our leadership, news media, and academia have totally rejected God. The only segment of America that has not rejected God is the common man.
When you remove “republic” and replace it with “democracy” you are no longer accountable to God; you are now accountable to man.
When you remove accountability to God, you remove the Fear of God as well. Now we know why our country is ailing so badly.
1. Pro 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
2. A world without God has no rights.
3. When you are accountable to man your rights become privileges.
God has from the very beginning intended us to be free. The essence of Freedom is the limitation on Government; and that would be God’s limitations on government.
Human rights vs. Bill of Rights. Human rights are given by humans.
You will be governed by God or by God you’ll be governed
America is great because she is good. When she stops being good she will no longer be great.
1. In a land where 4 million babies are aborted every year, the Boy Scouts are now called a hate group, Congressmen are sworn in on the Koran, and pastors in Texas get arrested for passing out sandwiches to homeless people without having a food preparation permit, I think it’s safe to say the America is no longer good.
Satan cannot lead anyone away from God without your complete cooperation. The same is true of governments and countries. Our country has chosen to turn its back on God. I don’t blame the corrupt politicians, the Drunks, the socialists, the communists, the humanists, the lazy, the apathetic, or the average common man; I blame the Christians. We’ve been far too tolerant, and far too silent for far too long. We have been silent in the midst of unrighteousness. The time to act is now. Our job is not to change the world or community. It is to bear witness of Jesus Christ and his saving grace. If we do that all the rest will work out.

2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams
All praises be tro God for allowing me to place these good words on my site for the Holiday of the 4th PJ

My comments concerning Biola University & Rick Warren Rick Warren The speaker of the May 2008 Graduation? What? The shame of this is that nobody said anything. We see it time and time again. What, so it is the Centennial of the school, ought we go out and get the worlds man. RICK WARREN! As for me I am outraged. Here again, I spent over $40,000.00 at that school only to be treated like this? What! Just take the time and listen to the clip, I'd like to hear from some Talbot Grads; I dare you to justify this mess! You think this is bad; just keep living my friends. WOW! If I had known they would have gone this way I would have attended Fuller? No, not really I would have to have put up with Peter Wagner and the gifts classes. help Us Lord! Rick Warren Below at Biola comments. Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4 Pt.5

There is such a need in the Church today to deal with the kind of deception that has overrun it that I have taken upon myself to re-edit the old VHS copies of this color series and burn them in black and white and provide them to you this sermon for your spiritual benefit. I will not charge you for the DVD's but I will accept any donation that you send me for the sermon series that I was able to recover. Strangers In The Midst & The Christian Response is now ready to be ordered by you. Please send your name and address (One copy per household Please) The DVD sermons clearly demonstrate how we are to deal with the Rick Warrens as well as the Creflo Dollars of our church age. Please burn your own copies and send them out to all of your friends. As you know I live on a limited income; so give me time to get them to you in the mail. If you could send me blank DVD's that would be great too. You must have these sermons as preached at the "Vett" Ministry in 1995. if you were there with me during that exciting time; you also will want a copy in your personal DVD library.

Get The Focus / I Take Him Intro:

The Sunday Sermon / "I Take Him" Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4

The message will bring conviction on you if you have never really in your heart cried out to God to save you. it is preaching that will cause you to come to the point in your life when you really say in your heart; "I Need Jesus As My Lord!" Just simple preaching and an awful lot of the bible in order to lead America to Jesus as Christ. I am praying that some of you today listen and take Jesus as Savior! Stop lying to yourself, many of you are not Christians, you have pretended for years. I must take account myself. On this Sunday I baptized and offered Holy Communion to many in that building. many that heard this sermon died and rejected the message. I know it because I am alive and know the history of life in the real. COME ON NOW! Stop playing with Jesus, IS HE IS, OR IS HE AIN'T YOUR SAVIOR!

In Search For The Real Jesus

Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4 Pt.5

A message preached on June 22, 2008 at Anselm Bible Church. It is a long sermon, but one that you will want to share with all of your friends. If you listen to these messages your lives will be changed. This preacher will never compromise the Christ of the bible. Any preacher that refuses to proclaim the message of the Savior cannot be called of God. Let us stop with these pretty messages that tickle the fantasy of our souls. There is enough on this web site for those of you that profess to know the Savior. Do you? Are you really seeking the Christ of the bible? Have you followed after show time in the church? Have you believed that simply because someone says that they are anointed that you treat them as if they are "Apostles"? I plan to attend the so called ordination of Fred Price as an Apostle for today's church. I am not attending alone, I want to see it with my own eyes. Black people so wasted that they would perform such a stupid feat. When judgment comes, it will be severe. Give me a few hours to place this message up. It will be worth your listening while to tune in to the message as soon as I finish with the technical aspects of placing it up. God bless

Saturday July 5, 2008 / This Saturday's Web Cast. How does compromise take place in our Christian world today?

And the crazy thing is that we seem to like it that way. We cannot escape the reality that most of the trusted institutions have all been affected by a life of compromise. Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4 Pt.5
