Dear Friends,
Enclosed is a documentary we thought important enough to buy copies to share. We think this movie has several great things about it.
- It was made by a family man who took a year off work to make it because he felt that the message was important enough for the sacrifice
- It presents an excellent historical review of socialist thought, its horrific outcomes, and its connections to current political figures.
- It shows that we are not victims of a conspiracy we never saw coming but rather that we God- fearing Americans have been idle. The growth of the welfare state has occurred in a vacuum left by the church. Much of the direction of our government reflects the lack of doctrinal understanding of the nature of man, work, personal responsibility, authority, ownership, God's sovereignty in all events, and the role of marriage.
- It ends on a hopeful note. The man who made this movie makes it clear that the solution is not in political parties alone but is in the power of God working through his humbled people. I am amazed at how many people think it's all over. From my infancy, I was raised in church where “Jesus is coming any day.” They were right, but here I am thirty-five years old, a father of young children, feeling very unprepared, left searching the Scriptures and reading from Godly men on what God requires of me in my home. The Bible certainly speaks to the role of authority in the home and in the church. But outside those two realms, the Scripture is not silent. In our family reading through Proverbs, we have been struck by how many verses are related to rulers. Given the context that these are a King's advice to his sons, future kings, this is no surprise. But that so many of these sayings should be preserved for us in God's Word is significant. Scripture is sufficient for the ruling of nations. When Christ returns, I want to be found about his business, teaching the nations, including mine (Matt 28:19).
Please pass this video on. We love you and look forward to standing by you in the days ahead.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. (Proverbs 29:2 KJV)
