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.

Blessed is the Man
April 7, 2024 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett
Psalm 1 is the introductory Psalm to the other 149, the gateway to the entire Psalms. It is powerful citing two paths in life. One that produces blessedness and life. The other death. Psalm 1 is for all people of all ages. It speaks to us today. It identifies what the blessed men does and doesn’t do. It identifies what the blessed man will be like and by application how we can be like the blessed man. Also, it identifies what the ungodly or evil man is not. It concludes by saying that the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Stay tuned as Sam and Isaac consider the important theme, “Blessed is the Man - Psalm 1”.
God’s Word & The Skeptic’s Questions
March 31, 2024 • Sam Rohrer, Isaac Crockett, Guest: Bryan Osborne
Sam Rohrer and Isaac Crockett are joined by guest Bryan Osborne (Answers in Genesis) to discuss this important topic by going to the heart of the cause and defining the solution.\ Ever wonder how old the earth actually is? Is it thousands of years old or hundreds of millions of years old? Ever wonder when Genesis talks about a day if that day is a 24-hour day or a 24-million-year day. Does it make any real difference? Asking questions is a practice the Lord Jesus did routinely in response to His skeptics with the purpose of exposing their sinister unbelief yet always leading them to the truth. Jesus loved to also answer legitimate questions as posed by His disciples. In the appropriate fashion and for the right reasons we’ll pose some questions. Not to question God though doubt, but to ask questions to better understand what God has done, said, and who He is. Join us as we continue to look at the topic “God’s Word & The Skeptic’s Questions”. We hope you’ll find the program challenging and informative.
