    The Judge—Heritage Brief 13

           Although it will take some radical solutions to get our Federal Government back on track and reconnected again to its constitutional moorings, we have an amazingly strong and resilient foundation to work with. We must never think it is not possible. If the U.S. Navy CB’s have the motto: “The difficult we do immediately, but the impossible may take a little longer,” how much more should we, who serve a God for whom nothing is impossible, believe this?

           Judicial tyranny may presently be the greatest threat to the Republic, but no republic can...

    Judicial Tyranny—Heritage Brief 12

             Our present state of government meltdown is not the failure of The Constitution, but rather our failure to comply with it. The Founders put adequate checks and balances to keep all three branches of the Federal Government in their lane and from infringing on the rights of the states and the people, but they have been ignored. The answer to almost all of the crises we’re facing today is to go back and comply with “the supreme law of the land,” The Constitution.  

             All three branches of the Federal Government are...

    The Growing Threat—Heritage Brief 11

         The American Founding Fathers implemented a brilliant way in The Constitution for resolving all matters that the Federal Government did not have specific authority over: let the states and the people do it. This kept the debate on matters like social issues local, knowing that the best solutions would best be found by the people who would have to live with them. 

         This method also allowed the states to decide differently on issues, thereby testing their solutions without dragging the whole country into it. On the state level, they could more easily adjust and...

    A Clear Vision—Heritage Brief 10

         Following up on the fact that nowhere in The United States Constitution does it state that there must be a separation between the church and the state, it only states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Because Congress was the Federal Government, this did not prohibit the states from establishing a recognized religion if they chose to, and many of them did. 

         For example, a couple of states made it a requirement to be of the Protestant faith to vote. Others required church attendance to...

    Vision and Division—Heritage Brief 9

    Contrary to common belief, nowhere does The United States Constitution state that there must be a separation of church and state. There is only one brief statement in the First Amendment that addresses the relationship between the federal government and religion, which says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” 

    How has this misconception that The Constitution mandates a separation of church and state become so prevalent as to so radically change the country and destroy our religious liberty? Charles Spurgeon lamented that he could find ten men who would die...
