Leading Clergy of the American Revolution

Leading Clergy of the American Revolution

It may be argued that the American colonial clergy were the leading influence for American independence. The Protestant Reformation of the authority of Scripture and the priesthood of all believers gave rise to republican governments in lands were the influence of the Reformers took firm hold. In America, the authority of Scripture was often unopposed by church councils or any single church authority. As the influence of the Reformers spread, the role of monarchs was diminished or replaced by republican forms of government, and in the American colonies, ministers were the primary advocates of republican government.The lives and legacies of stalwart pastors who advocated the principles of biblical republicanism and divinely bestowed inalienable rights are recounted in the pages of this volume. Should America recover its former glory and goodness, it will do so upon the shoulders of the biblical principles advocated throughout her thirteen colonies by her pastors. Please help us advocate America's glorious heritage... NOTE: Sold at Amazon Paperback ISBN-13: 9798358160378 407 pages Hardback ISBN-13: 9798360701392 407 pages Dimensions: 6 x 0.92 x 9 inches

Hallmark: Jamestown Ten Commandments

Hallmark: Jamestown Ten Commandments

From July 30 to August 4, 1619, the first Representative Legislative Assembly to ever gather in America convened in the church at Jamestown, Virginia. The governor, six counsellors, and twenty burgesses gathered in the choir loft at the east end of the church where Canon law number 82 of the Church of England stipulated...... that the ten Commandements be set upon the East ende of every Church and Chapell.The Bible approved for use within Anglican churches at the time of the Assembly was the Bishops' Bible of 1602. The significance is that America's first legislative efforts were conducted at the east end of the church, in the choir loft, where the Ten Commandments of the Bishops' Bible were hung.The church depicted at the top of our Ten Commandments plaque is the James Town Memorial Church of 1907. It rests upon the site of the 1617 Jamestown church in which the Assembly gathered in 1619. It stands as an appropriate memorial to the Christian ethos that birthed American government. Commemorating the influence of this version of Holy Scripture upon this moment in America's Christian heritage, the original spelling of the Bishops' Bible of 1602 has been retained.Due to the extensive effort required to bring elements of this hallmark together, only a limited number of the Jamestown Ten Commandments have been produced. Printing on wood, lasering of text, and special handling have challenged our creative resources. For this reason, we are offering a select number of these hallmarks for a gift price to the ministry of Christian Heritage Fellowship.Share this heritage hallmark moment with your children, grandchildren, parishioners, patrons, and other members of your community.

In His Steps—What Would Jesus Do?

In His Steps—What Would Jesus Do?

The nineteenth century witnessed enormous social concern on the part of Christians throughout America. Volunteer movements of every type arose to apply the ointment of the Gospel to the wounds of the human condition. Alcohol and opiate use were rampant, and from this social ill arose the prohibition movement. In addition, rescue missions and other forms of shelters emerged as immediate solutions to the destitute. In a like manner, Christians of this era sought to provide practical solutions to the numerous social and spiritual needs of a hurting world.In His Steps—What Would Jesus Do?The ministry of Robert Bateman is but one example of this concern. Bateman was one of eight ministers who remained on the Titanic as it sank and was the inspiration for Titanic’s orchestra playing the hymn, “Nearer My God to Thee”. Returning home to Jacksonville, Florida, Bateman anticipated the resumption of his ministry at Jacksonville Central City Mission, which he had founded in 1904. One biographer recounted that in one month, Bateman’s mission served 1,284 meals to hungry people, took in 836 homeless men for the night, found jobs for 182 men, sent food baskets to 12 families, helped "five wayward girls" escape the brothels, found homes for four orphan boys, and took care of three babies which desperate mothers had abandoned on the steps of the mission. Such was the deep evangelical concern of this era.In His Steps—What Would Jesus Do?In this time-honored novel, Charles Sheldon unfolds his ideas of Christian social action with the formative question, “What would Jesus do?” In His Steps vividly details various individuals’ responses to this all-important question. Like Robert Bateman, Sheldon believed that personal faith for the Christian must bear public fruit. Few literary works have so deeply impressed themselves upon the minds and hearts of Christians around the world as has In His Steps. For this reason, it is once again sent to press with an introduction by Stephen A. Flick. NOTE: Sold individually.

The Influence of Christianity upon the Declaration of Independence

The Influence of Christianity upon the Declaration of Independence

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, America struggles to identify the principles that distinguished her rise to world prominence. Since the end of the nineteenth century, Marxism and Darwinism have been the implements of choice employed by those seeking Her overthrow. Both of these worldviews have been evoked by atheists to destroy the religious principles upon which America has been founded. By the middle of the twentieth century, the judicial branch of American government assumed responsibility to minimize—and where possible, eliminate—Christian public expressions. Following the lead of associate justice Hugo Black, "separation of church and state" became the mantra both to suppress common Christian observances and to deny the Christian origin of America. Black—arguably the worst Supreme Court justice in American history—had no interest in dealing honestly with the historical evidence, but along with other members of the high court was simply determined to marginalize Christian influence in American culture.Influence of Christianity upon the Declaration of IndependenceFor anyone who has studied the facts of American history, it is impossible to deny the formative influence Christianity exercised upon the rise and progress of America. Rather than read original sources, pretentious historians content themselves with reading each others’ works and parroting myths coined by feckless sycophants—upper most is Black as in his pretentious appeal to Jefferson's expression, "separation of church and state". But for sincere students of American history, primary writings of the Founding Fathers inevitably demonstrate America's Christian origin. Among the many to recount the influence of Christianity upon America's origin is President John Quincy Adams. Unashamed of his own personal Christian convictions, Mr. Adams testified of the Christian principles that gave rise to the first American organic law—the Declaration of Independence. In his Fourth of July oration to the citizens of Newburyport, Massachusetts, Adams clearly articulated how the idea of freedom ensconced in the Declaration of Independence was birthed by Scripture.Influence of Christianity upon the Declaration of IndependenceAround the world, Marxism and Darwinism have given rise to tyrannical governments. These principles now threaten the American Republic and the freedom captured by Her Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Adams reminds his audience that the idea of liberty proclaimed by the Founding Fathers was found in Scripture, and the principles that gave rise to the Republic are the same principles necessary to its maintenance.
