Eye-Witness to America’s First Struggle for Liberty
Eye-Witness to America’s First Struggle for Liberty

Throughout the twentieth century, the true Christian origin of America has been eroded by Darwinists, Marxists, and the irreligious. Mountains of evidence exist that prove America was founded upon the biblical principles of the Christian Faith. And, it was this Christian foundation that quickly fashioned America into a moral, economic, cultural, and military global leader. But around the world, Darwinism has been the primary cause of human suffering since Darwin's Origin of Species made its appearance in 1859. Co-opting the "teeth and talons" of the Origin of Species, Karl Marx and his disciples have employed Darwin's godless conception of "might is right" in defense of their cosmology. What most have failed to realize is that Marxists completely lose their right of moral voice because they embrace Darwinian "whoever is the strongest" philosophy. For this reason, Marxist Black Lives Matter followers lose their right to say any slave-holder was morally corrupt to own slaves. After all, if a slave-holder has the "might" to hold slaves, then—according to Darwin and Marx—they have the "right"! Because of their Marxist "might is right" philosophy, Black Lives Matter followers endorse slavery!But in fact, America was founded upon the principles of Christianity. President John Adams stated, "The general principles, on which the Fathers achieved Independence, were the only principles in which, that beautiful assembly of young gentlemen could unite, and these principles only could be intended by them in their address, or by me in my answer. And, what were these general principles? I answer, the general principles of Christianity..." (The Adams-Jefferson Letters, 339-340).More specifically, Christian pastors, employing principles of liberty, shaped colonial America's understanding of biblical republican government. A direct result of Bible translation into vernacular languages was the application of biblical principles to all of life, and government was not absolved from this consideration.Contained in this booklet are accounts of America's first battles for freedom—the Battles of Lexington and Concord—and a biblical justification for the Revolution as presented in a sermon by the pastor of Christ Church in Lexington. Jonas Clarke, witness of the Battle of Lexington, published his accounts of the Battles of Lexington and Concord and provided a sermon justifying the right to resist tyranny. Contained herein is a small portion of America's true Christian heritage… NOTE: Sold at Amazon. Paperback: 57 pages Dimensions: 6 x 0.13 x 9 inches ISBN-13: 979-8501185883

Robert Bateman—The Minister That Inspired the Titanic
Robert Bateman—The Minister That Inspired the Titanic

Robert Bateman is reported to have been the most widely known individual on the maiden voyage of the ill-fated RMS Titanic. He had distinguished himself as a minister of the Gospel and his interest in the wellbeing of the communities in which he served that so highly commended him to his fellow passengers. Though residing in Jacksonville, Florida at the time of Titanic’s fateful collision in the North Atlantic, Bateman left behind him a trail of influence for the sake of the Gospel in both the British Isles and America—among which was the People’s Tabernacle in Knoxville, Tennessee.The Minister That Inspired the TitanicBateman was concerned not only for the spiritual wellbeing of individuals but was also deeply interested in their physical needs as well. Ameliorating the effects of the sex-trafficking of his day, he ministered extensively to the ladies of the street in Jacksonville and demonstrated a social conscience for other communities where he served.The Minister That Inspired the TitanicHours before the accident, he led fellow passengers in a Sunday evening service and closed with his favorite hymn, Nearer My God to Thee. Upon the collision of the Titanic, he escorted his sister-in-law with whom he was traveling to a lifeboat and remained on deck to minister to many others, who like him, would soon be swept into eternity. Among his final acts was his request to the orchestra of the Titanic to play Nearer My God to Thee—an effort that pointed the minds and hearts of the victims toward the realities of eternity. Bateman was among a cluster of evangelical ministers in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries that greatly affected America and the British Isles for good. This thumbnail sketch of a great Christian statesman is sure to inspire the most candid reader.ISBN-13: 9798389464087NOTE: Sold at AmazonPAGES: 49Please email us concerning bulk prices.The Minister That Inspired the TitanicThe Minister That Inspired the TitanicThe Minister That Inspired the TitanicThe Minister That Inspired the TitanicThe Minister That Inspired the TitanicThe Minister That Inspired the TitanicChristian Heritage Fellowship FacebookChristian Heritage Fellowship FacebookInternalLinkInternalLinkInternalLink

Should Christians Always Submit to the Government?
Should Christians Always Submit to the Government?

For more than a century, irreligious forces have assailed America's Christian heritage with defiant resolve. Ironically, their success has been achieved upon the back of an indifferent American church. Many Bible-believing pastors have advanced the myth that America was not founded upon Judaeo-Christianity. Tragically, church leaders have failed to rehearse to their congregations the vital roles the clergy and the church occupied in the birth of the American Republic. But pastors in mid-eighteenth century America believed that what Scripture had to say about government was a matter that was pertinent to public life.In his book Seedtime of the Republic, distinguished Cornell Professor Clinton Rossiter identified six leading voices that were formative in the American move toward independence. They included Thomas Hooker, Roger Williams, John Wise, Richard Bland, Benjamin Franklin, and Jonathan Mayhew. The latter of these six men bequeathed a political legacy to America through his theological and biblical writings. After graduating from Harvard in 1744, Jonathan Mayhew was called to the pastorate of the Old West Congregational Church in Boston, where he wielded considerable influence upon the seminal thought that gave rise to the American Revolution. One of the most influential works that precipitated independence was Mayhew's sermon, Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non-Resistance to the Higher Powers. In it, Mayhew provided biblical and rational defense for resisting tyrannical government. President John Adams said this sermon was read by "everyone". This influential work has been retitled Should Christians Always Submit to the Government and sent to press with the hope that its timeless principles will once again be seriously considered in light of a rising tide of tyranny which now threatens the American Republic.

A Defense of the Bible as a Schoolbook
A Defense of the Bible as a Schoolbook

Until 1947 and following, the Christian religion exercised considerable influence upon the school children of America. In fact, a thorough study of the history of American education will reveal that from the very beginning of English colonization, Bible reading and prayer was an important part of the classroom. The personal writings and official government proceedings of the colonial era through the middle of the twentieth century clearly indicate that America's Founding Fathers never intended for the Christian faith to be pushed from America's classroom or from the public arena in general. Bible as a Schoolbook Dr. Benjamin RushDr. Benjamin Rush was one of three of the most important Founding Fathers—the other two being George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Dr. Rush was one of the most deeply committed evangelical leaders of the Founders and exercised considerable influence upon American life prior to and following the American Revolution. In his essay, A Defense of the Use of the Bible as a Schoolbook, Dr. Rush addressed his thoughts on this important matter to Jeremy Belknap, of Boston. To truly understand how important this matter was to one of the most important Founding Fathers, you too will also wish to read Dr. Rush's essay, A Defense of the Use of the Bible as a Schoolbook.Bible as a Schoolbook Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

The Supreme Court Declares America a Christian Nation: Booklet
The Supreme Court Declares America a Christian Nation: Booklet

On February 29, 1892, The Supreme Court declared (in Holy Trinity v. United States) that the historical record of America overwhelmingly demonstrated that the United States "... is a Christian nation." Contrary to this historical and legal record, judges throughout the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first centuries have repeatedly ruled against the place that Christianity has enjoyed in American life. Rather than render decisions consistent with the legal foundation of America, activist judges have taken it upon themselves to attempt to establish a new foundation for American law—that being the subjective opinions of liberal activist judges. Thousands of pieces of evidence exist that demonstrate that America was founded as a Christian nation, and Holy Trinity v. United States is only one of the many pieces of that mosaic.Dealing with America's early history, Justice David Brewer identifies America's Christian origin in detail. Few Americans are aware that the Supreme Court ruled well in advance concerning America's Christian heritage and the relationship which the Christian Faith sustained to the nations' legal foundation.
