10 Principles to National Renewal: The Need for Involved Citizens to Maintain a Republic - Part I

October 31, 2021 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett

In the history of human civilization one thing which is certain is that freedom, liberty, and self-government under God is not normal. Rather, tyranny and enslavement is mankind’s default position.

Once established, if a Republic is formed, great care must be given by way of diligence if a Republic is to endure. To maintain a Republic requires responsible citizens who submit themselves to God’s laws. A nation blessed of God only survives if citizens hold a Biblical Worldview. Without an embracing of truth by a knowledgeable and responsible citizenry, no Republic can long survive. It’s this concept that Benjamin Franklin himself (upon the adoption of the U.S. Constitution in 1787) emphasized when he said, “We’ve given you a Republic if you the citizens can keep it”.

Psalm 127:1 says, “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it”. But it also says, “Except the Lord keep the city, the watchmen wake us but in vain”. In other words, unless God’s plan and His commands are followed no nation seeking freedom can ever get off the ground. But this verse also says that except the Lord keep the city (meaning unless the citizens of that city or nation continue to do what God says by keeping His commandments and fearing Him) the citizens efforts will be vain and freedom will be lost and the city will fall.

The Man Who Feared God and Turned Away from Evil

August 25, 2024 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett

In Hebrews 11 (The Hall of Fame of Faith Chapter) God gives us the names of many people, but references far more without names in this life who by faith are known by God only. We can and should be encouraged to live by faith though only God may know. For it is in the end when we stand before God (perhaps known by no one else) we can hear the most desired words any believer can ever hope to hear. Well done good and faithful servant. In this program we will look at the life of Job. His experience is something with which we can all identify with in part. Stay tuned as Sam and Isaac consider the important theme, “The Man Who Feared God and Turned Away from Evil”.

Hope in the Midst of Persecution

August 18, 2024 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett, Guest: Shaheryar Gill

Sam Rohrer and Isaac Crockett are joined by guest Shaheryar Gill (Attorney, American Center for Law & Justice) to discuss this important topic by going to the heart of the cause and defining the solution. Jesus tells us in Matthew 24 and other places that rather than the exception, true believers in Jesus Christ who live Godly will experience persecution. For many generations America and generally the West have experienced a unique reprieve, a divine intervention of God’s protection as He raised up America in its early to be a shining city on a hill. A holy experiment to demonstrate to the world that a nation who feared God and follow His commandments could experience the divine blessing of God. But we realize that in America things are changing very quickly. The only category of people that seems to have no protection are Christians who open their mouth to publicly demonstrate their commitment to Christ. The governments are becoming more hostile by the day. Thankfully God has raised up some legal teams who have an expertise and can argue for truth in courts of law. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes they are not. Join us as we continue to look at the topic “Hope in the Midst of Persecution”. We hope you’ll find the program challenging and informative.
