John Peter Muhlenberg

Brought to you by American Minute

"In the language of the Holy Writ, there is a time for all things. There is a time to preach and a time to fight."

Thus ended the sermon of 30-year-old pastor John Peter Muhlenberg as he removed his clerical robes to reveal a uniform in the Continental Army.

After church, 300 men of his congregation rode off with him to join General Washington's 8th Virginia regiment.

Born OCTOBER 1, 1746, John Peter Muhlenberg died the same day in 1807.

After hearing Patrick Henry speak the famous words, "give me liberty or give me death," John Peter Muhlenberg approached General Washington and enlisted.

Promoted to Major-General, he endured the freezing winter of Valley Forge and fought at Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Stonypoint and Yorktown.

John Peter Muhlenberg was elected Congressman and Senator.

John's father, Henry Muhlenberg, was a founder of the Lutheran Church in America.

John's brother, Frederick, also an ordained minister, was elected the first Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Both John and Frederick served in the first session of Congress which passed the First Amendment.

In 1889, Pennsylvania placed a statue of John Peter Muhlenberg in the U.S. Capitol's Statuary Hall.


It's time to talk about the fact that the best of this country came from devoted Christian backgrounds.  We would not have the freedoms or the advances in this country without the great men who lived in the honor of Christianity.  To deny that those men contributed so deeply to our country will strip us of our heritage and our strength!  So...teach your children about the men presented in these short history lessons. 

I hope you choose to sit with your children at supper and discuss these lessons.  Here's a little more information I found on this great man.


"Brethren, we came to this county to practice our religious liberties, and if we don't get involved, we're going to lose them." John Peter Muhlenberg 1777  (Good advice for today)


The Black Robe Regiment arose from the pulpits across the colonies during the Revolutionary War. The movement had its beginnings with Reverend Peter Muhlenberg in 1776 concluding his Sunday sermon declaring "In the language of the holy writ, there was a time for all things, a time to preach and a time to pray, but those times have passed away. There is a time to fight, and that time is now coming!" Muhlenberg then removed his black robe reveling a full military uniform. Marching to the rear of his church he declared "Who among you is with me? On that day 300 men from his congregation stood up and joined Muhlenberg in the fight for liberty.


Dear God, please help me to have the same courage as our forefathers!

America - a confusing place for our youth

Wisdom is the merging of all thought and the ability to discern the nuggets of truth in that thought.

America has always stood for the freedom of the individual.  This is a good thing.

America promotes education and information.  This too is a good thing.

America stands for free speech and freedom of thought and freedom of religion.....but for how long?

I've thought about this post for two days now.  Those of you who can follow logical reasoning and proper transference of information won't have a problem with my point.  Those who are incapable of seeing all sides or judging a situation based on "all" facts will probably give me grief about this post. 

I just don't understand how "supposedly" intelligent people can tell lies with a straight face.  To me, a lie is not only misrepresenting the truth - but it's also when you refuse to look at "all" the facts or truths.  Lying also applies to a person who does the same thing you are doing but will twist it to make you look like you are in the wrong while their improper actions are somehow void of wrongdoing. 

This last week-end we had a horrible tragedy.  A deranged man walked into a crowd of innocent people and took lives.  There is no punishment too awful for this man.  When I read about the victims - especially the nine year old girl - I cried and then I was enraged!  This is a horrible act and we should find a way to stop this kind of insanity.

BUT....HOLD ON LIBERALS AND GOVERNMENT!  It's impossible to legislate good/honorable/productive/proper behavior!  Trying to legislate good behavior is like putting a band-aid on a man who's leg was cut off.  He's bleeding to death and you stick a band-aid on the side of his leg, smile and walk away proudly announcing - "I fixed the problem with my band-aid".  NO - idiot! You didn't fix the problem you just like to brag and think you did.

Legislation is not the problem.  We are already legislated to death.  Here's the real problem....

1.  For years lawmakers and businessmen and psychiatrists have told the American public that violent movies, violent games and violent - raging - music can't be held accountable for "weak" people who may be affected by the Art.

If you are going to believe that nonsense (I have a lot of proof against this) - then someone verbally raging against a politician or anyone else - can't be held accountable for the action of the crazy.  If violent movies, violent games and violent music can't control a man's mind - what his neighbor or the tea party or a telelvision commentator says won't change his mind either.

2.  For years psychologist have told the American public that bad parenting, non-involved parenting and dysfunctional homes can't be held accountable for the actions of children within those homes.

If parents who know what's going on with their children can't be held accountable - why would it matter what some television commentator says?

3.  For years medical know-it-alls have told us that marijuana doesn't lead to hard drugs and doesn't impair a person's mental or emotional state of mind. 

Why then are these same people so concerned about drinking and pregnancy, obesity, smoking, over the counter medications, etc?  I found a new study they are doing that suggests chemicals in our water, our foods and our polluted air are causing all types of problems - including mental illness.  If these things can affect us - why not marijuana?

4.  For years the American public has been told that it doesn't matter what happens in public schools.  Bullying will make your child tough.  Reading unacceptable material will open your child's world.  Teaching them about different lifestyles will help them to be tolerant.  And yet....as every year passes our children become more confused about their world and about their own individuality. 

If our children spend 70% of their time at school during any one week - why is there no accountability for what they are being taught.  Why doesn't the school curriculum share some of the blame.

4.  If you look back in history, there have been some awful times for this country.  Times when people had to face horrible dangers on a daily basis.  The problem for me is that if you take an "honest" look at history - you will discover six important truths.

         A.  When God is a central part of a society, individual freedom is stronger and it is accompanied by a better way of life.
         B.  Like Back to the Future Part II, when evil is allowed unlimited freedom - society suffers and individual freedom is almost non-existent.  (Socialist - Hitler times)
        C.  When a country refuses to define what they stand for, they open the door for evil to rise to the top and conquer.  Evil and Good can NOT co-exist. 
        D.  There is always a fight between good and evil.  If you try to make evil good and accept evil unconditionally - evil will conquer!  It's their nature and it will happen.  The only way to stop it is to define and punish evil.
        E.  The heart of a good man can never be turned by evil.  The heart of an evil man has only one hope - God.  Evil never gives up control easily.  It will take more than normal teaching or simple legislation to change an evil heart.
       F.  You can't regulate or legislate good.  Your only hope is to "grow" good men and women.  Governments can only reward good behavior and punish bad.  They can't change the hearts of men.


Having said all that, this discussion about who said what and caused some crazy lunatic to pick up a gun becomes the rantings of idiots who don't understand human nature or sociology.

When someone takes the time to look at the gunman's life, you will find that his environment and habits had a lot to do with this senseless act.  If his parents didn't take the time to show him how to properly deal with his anger - that's a huge part of why he felt it was necessary to pick up a gun.  If his parents didn't work to build his self-esteem - that's a huge part of why he felt a need to be noted even if it was for an evil act.  If his parents didn't show him "the way to a good life" (yet he watches others obtaining a good life)  his frustration at not knowing how to achieve it would cause him to act in a violent way.  If he took drugs or was a regular user of marijuana his brain would not be able to process information properly.  If he was a regular listener of raging music (dare I call it music) or watched horror films - he would see their solutions to life as his own.

The truth is this.....

Your brain is a delicate organ.  It must be protected.  It must also be stimulated with "good" information or it can become depressed and dysfunctional.  It needs to be stimulated by soothing...good...input.  It needs to have logical information that doesn't disappoint.  It needs to have in place all the "necessary" components for a healthy life as laid out by Maslow.  And....you must be taught how to be a responsible person and that your success in life will be determined by the decisions you make.

I think the Bible said it best.  Philippians 4 is a great study of Peace in life.  But, for now, look at the great teaching in Philippians 4:8-9.

"Finally, bothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice.  And the God of peace will be with you."

That kind of says it all doesn't it.  If our government would spend more time promoting the Bible and Christian teachings - America would grow generations who would naturally come to be a society of peace.  While I hate the thought of book burnings or bans on movies or music - I do think parents should be taught that these things will hurt your child.  As responsible parents begin to refuse to purchase those items and also begin to properly administer discipline (per my book Discipline Exposed) the money for those items will diminish and the greed of producers will send them running to find "inspiring" entertainment.

Not buying it?  Look again at history.  From the late 1800's until the mid 60's there were more peaceful towns and more good people than ever before.  Why?  The great revivals.  People were concentrating on living a godly life of sacrifice.  And don't try to tell me they don't exist!  I lived in several of those small towns and Andy Griffith's Mayberry did exist! 

When new parenting philosophies began to emerge (early 50's) and children were no longer required to have boundaries - things began to change.  Add to the spoiled brat era - the fact that families became more concerned about money and possessions and less concerned about living a good life.  At that point we had spoiled brats who couldn't accept the word "no" - and who had access to even more money.  Soon they saw money as a barrier to family relationships so they rebelled.  The  hippies were born.  Their drugs soon moved their generation from peaceful nonsence to frustration, anger and rage.  Parents were angry at their children and those children hated their parents.  Parents decided that their lives were ruined and they fell into the same practices of drugs and alcohol that their children were experiencing. 

Now begins the legacy of generations that have no connection to good examples of honorable, decent lives committed to living the good life.  Even if these bratty children wanted to return to the good life - their parents don't have the information needed to get them there.

Enter the arts and movie industry who was glad to cater to a raging generation as long as they could depleate them of their money.  It didn't matter that they were helping to create a generation that felt anger, bulling, sex and extreme violence was simply a way of life - as long as the money continued to flow - the mental health of young children didn't matter.  Now we have terror in our schools and on public streets.  We have young children losing their talents, their abilities and the hope of a better future - all because we have allowed evil to rise to the top and conquer.  (Does anyone else despise reality shows that highlight ignorant, violent, low class behavior?)

It took several generations to turn out men like the mass murderers we have today.  It did not come from the recent resurgence of men and women who want to return this country to it's Godly peaceful roots.  Evil didn't just happen because a few good men voiced their distaste for the men and women who promote evil.  It took a long time for this evil to rise and it will take a long time for dedicated honorable people to "grow" new generations of hope and peace.

I do hope others will also rise to the top and begin the conversation about "training" our generation and the next on how to have a good life.  That's why I offer so many classes.  I will come to your church or organization and train you and your people on the specifics of family dynamics.  Don't be fooled into accepting the current way of life.  There are answers!  You and your family can live a better life filled with hope and peace.

God loves you,

Debbie

George Whitefield & Ben Franklin

Brought to you by American Minute

Seven times he preached in America to crowds of 25,000, spreading the Great Awakening Revival, which helped unite the Colonies prior to the Revolution.


Ben Franklin wrote in his Autobiography:

"He preached one evening from the top of the Court-house steps...Streets were filled with his hearers...

I had the curiosity to learn how far he could be heard by retiring backwards down the street...and found his voice distinct till I came near Front-street."

Franklin was describing George Whitefield, who died SEPTEMBER 30, 1770.

Franklin wrote of George Whitefield:

"Multitudes of all denominations attended his sermons...It was wonderful to see."

Ben Franklin printed George Whitefield's sermons and financed construction of the largest building in Philadelphia for his meetings, which later became the first building of the University of Pennsylvania.

Franklin wrote to George Whitefield:

"I sometimes wish you and I were jointly employed by the Crown to settle a colony on the Ohio...a strong body of religious and industrious people!...

Might it not greatly facilitate the introduction of pure religion among the heathen, if we could, by such a colony, show them a better sample of Christians than they commonly see in our Indian traders?"

This shows the evangelical desire of Ben Franklin.  How cool is that?

The deepest love - Philippians 1:15-18

The Andy Griffith Show was and still is one of my very favorite shows.  It was great fun but it was also a great study of Biblical principles.  In fact, Joey Fann and Brad Grasham developed a Bible class, "Finding the Way Back to Mayberry," using 12 episodes from The Andy Griffith Show as parables; referring to Matthew 13:34 as the key to the lesson series' purpose and success:  "All this Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable."  The first class debuted in June of 1998 at the Twickenham Church of Christ in Huntsville, Alabama and was facilitated by Fann and Grasham.

When George Lindsay, who played Goober in the series, was asked what he thought of the idea using the series for a Bible class, he replied, "One of the incredible things about every single episode is that Andy insisted each show have a moral point, something good, lofty and moral.  It's a shame current shows on TV don't adopt that high road."

What does this have to do with our study of Philippians?

While reading the notes on verses 15-18 the commentator said, "Paul knew he was facing a great ordeal, but took great pains not to alarm his friends.  His all-consuming concern was for the advancement of the gospel."

When I read that, I thought of the way Andy always took great care to protect the self-esteem and integrity of the people of Mayberry - especially Barney. 

Barney was like the Donald Duck of Mayberry.  He always said and did the wrong thing, always had his foot in his mouth and always jumped to the wrong conclusion.  Yet, Barney had a good heart and Andy knew that.  Andy was the quiet loving friend who was secure enough to "silently" protect his friend's honor.  He didn't go behind his back to make sure everyone else knew that he was the real hero.  Instead, he seemed to consider it an honor to promote his friend.

Philippians 1:15-18

It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.  The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.  The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.  But what does it matter?  The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached.  And because of this I rejoice.

Like Paul, on the television show Andy's character was defined by one overall goal.  He was not selfish and he cared deeply for his friends.  Everything he did was measured by that definition.  It wasn't important who received the praise - what was important was that his friends were loved and cared for.

Paul also had a deep love for his followers.  He knew that trouble and sorrow was in the future.  He understood the danger for anyone that choose Christ over the Roman Empire.  He knew that he - and his friends - would suffer just like Christ has suffered.  His concern was not for his own feelings or even for his own reputation.  His concern was for his friends, followers and the great commission.  His concern wasn't for some type of earthly recognition but rather the heavenly vision and the message of Christ.  Paul defined his life as "an existence only to help forward the cause of Christ."

Today as I read this scripture, I thought about my own family and friends.  Do I preach and teach out of love and goodwill or are my actions self serving?  Do I live a life that points others to Christ or do others look at my life and lose their desire to be a Christian?  Am I willing to sacrifice my life, my reputation, my desires and my feelings so that others may find Christ?  Do I rejoice when Christ is elevated even if I am pushed to the side?

Did you know that when a palace guard was assigned to guard Paul, he was chained together with Paul?  This made a captive audience for the gospel.  Many guards had to listen to Paul teach about Christ.  To combat this, some people tried to discredit Paul's influence.  While the church in Rome was becoming more confident about a trial, Paul was even more dedicated to follow his course of promoting Jesus Christ. 

In this scripture Paul lifts the bar a little higher for every follower of Christ.  Paul asks you to show the deepest love you can for your friends and for Christ.  He asks us to be aware that while our work for Christ is important - we must be concerned about the faith and feelings of those we influence.  We also must be more concerned about the "mission" of Christ rather than our participation in that mission.  In other words we should be willing to rejoice with others about their work as well as promoting our own work. 

The last thing Paul encourages us to do is probably the hardest.  He was pleased with his current condition.  He rejoiced that the gospel was being preached.  He was content.  To support this....later in Philippians 4:12 he states.... "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

God loves you,

George Mason

Brought to you by American Minute

"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Thus began the first of the Ten Amendments, or Bill of Rights, which were approved SEPTEMBER 25, 1789.

George Mason, known as "The Father of the Bill of Rights," wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights from which Jefferson drew to write the Declaration of Independence.

George Mason was one of 55 founders who wrote the U.S. Constitution, but was also one of sixteen who refused to sign it because it did not abolish slavery and did not limit the power of the Federal Government.

George Mason joined with Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams to prevent the Constitution from being ratified, as the abuses of King George III's concentrated power were still fresh.

It was largely through George Mason's insistence that in the first session of Congress ten limitations or amendments were put on the new Federal Government.

George Mason suggested the wording of the First Amendment be:

"All men have an equal, natural and unalienable right to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that no particular sect or society of Christians ought to be favored or established by law in preference to others."


That's great George.  I agree with you 100%.    Unfortunately, our great country will crumble unless we consider the back side of this "free exercise of religion".  There must be some boundaries.  Unless we very tediously determine a strict definition of religion - we are on a slippery slope.  In George's day you would be considered "touched in the head" if you announced a belief in Eckandar (soul travel) or The Church of the flying spaghetti monster. (parody of anything anti-christian) 

While progressives are busy trying to re-write history to say that a belief in "God" was not present in the beginning of this country - evidence to that effect just doesn't exist.  Some of our founding fathers were less verbal about their faith and I'm sure some of them even mirrored today's "luke warm - not quick to profess Christians,"  but they all had a knowledge of the difference between religion and a hatred of faith motivated by selfish desires and motive driven ideology.

In George's day just try announcing that you were a witch or that you were an avid Satanist.  The residents of that town would either send you packing, set you on fire or hang you from the nearest tree. 

Most - almost all - Colonists had a great respect for God and were not about to put up with anyone publicly berating God or faith.  Yes, there were stories of pastors who went wrong or who proved to be less than compassionate.  Just like Biblical times pastors were not perfect.  But there was an overall respect for God and the church. 

Here's my point.  Good old George could announce without reservations that he believe "anyone who used the word - religion - should receive freedom to practice that faith without any reservations."  His definition of practicing faith was merely the difference between the church on the corner and the chapel in the woods.  It was the difference between singing acapella hymns from a book or allowing a local to use a guitar.  He was certain that no one of that day would use the "term" religion as an excuse to legitimize evil. 

We don't have that luxury.  We are in the process of losing our religious freedom because we are trying to give anyone that claims that term "religious freedom".  There are certain ideas that CAN'T co-exist with God-centered religion.  How so? 

Suppose a group announces that they are Satanic.  That's their faith.  That's what they believe and therefore they should be granted 100% freedom to practice their faith.  But....what if part of their faith includes the rape and murder of a virgin twice a year?  And what if they argue that if you prevent them from that rape and murder - you are denying them the right to freely "exercise their religion".  Now what do you do?  If you allow them to practice their faith, young women will die.  Perhaps your daughter will die.  That ultimately means that America is now supporting the rape and murder of it's citizens.  By simply using the title "religion" the very foundations of this great country has been compromised.  Our laws that protect the innocent have now been violated and labeled as unenforceable.

Skip over to Muslims.  The majority of liberal Americans believe that we "must" allow Muslims to practice their faith.  Some states have even been ignorant enough to say that we must allow Sharia law to share our courts.  Yet under Sharia law women can be brutally beaten, can be forced to marry, can be given in marriage as early as 8 years old and can be forced to stay with an abusive man.  Under Sharia law if a teen girl brings shame on her family (something as simple as dating an infidel) Daddy has the right to beat her or even kill her.  Is this what America is all about?

What about the local pedophile, the rapist, the murderer?  Can they claim that their evil doings are just a practice of faith?  How about the local atheist?  He simply wants to take your faith from you.  He wants to create a non-faith country.  I hate the way atheist have trampled on my religious freedoms and yet....if we don't define the boundaries of faith, he will succeed and religion will cease to exist. 

I'm sure to get hate mail about this - but I believe we need to define who we are.  We have to stand up and say, "No.  America isn't going to be so free that any act or person or religion - will be allowed.  America is built on certain principles and if you disagree with those principles - we suggest you find another country."  America should be defined as being "against" certain evils no matter what others think of our decision.  We need to stop being wishy-washy and stand up for "who" we are.  If we don't - evil will be glad to do it for us!

Freedom can't be totally free for everyone and every idea.  Freedom must be defined.

Without boundaries freedom disintegrates and evil rises to the top and takes over.  Freedom is only available when it is defined and then defended.

God loves you,

Debbie

I bear witness....Philippians 1:12-14

Christians today are rarely taught that our lives - Christian or not - are a testimony to others.  Everyone is an example - a living video - of the consequences of our choices.  If we are Christians we are constantly showing those around us the consequences of the Christian faith.  And if we are not Christians ( or perhaps we are pretend Christians) we will show others the consequences of that behavior as well.

Philippians 1:12 -14
"Now I want you to know brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.  As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.  Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly."

Everything is not "suffering" for Christ.  Not finding a front line parking space at Wallmart would not be considered being in chains for Christ.  But....giving up a front line parking space to a van loaded with children and a frazzled looking mom could be a "loving and compassionate" Christian act.  Instead of fussing at the checkout girl for not moving fast enough - giving her a smile and a vote of confidence will allow others around you to see your faith in action. 

Pat Bellew was a dear friend.  We were close when I lived in Georgia.  Her Christian faith was strong and her dedication to her family and friends went beyond normal acts of love.  Unfortunately, she had a lot of physical problems.  She was constantly sick with one serious ailment after another.  Yet....she never let those problems get in the way of her faith or her service to those around her.  She was always upbeat, always lending a hand and doing the very best she could to encourage and help others.  I watched her take care of people that were obviously in better health than she was and yet when I tried to be sympathetic she would say, "Oh, I don't mind...I'm glad I can help them."  Then she would give me a smile that seemed to light up with God's love.

She was a witness.  Her actions were an illustration of how God's love can give you strength and peace even during difficult times.

I've spent my own life trying to live up to the example of Pat.  Her witness has given me strength in dark times and courage to continue my work even when my own pain was overwhelming. 

I hope we will all ask ourselves a very important question..... "How are my actions at this very moment bearing witness to the love of Christ?"  The answer may determine how someone close decides to live their life.  The answer will either encourage others or cause them to walk away from their faith.

God loves you,

Debbie

Late one night I stopped at one of those 24-hour gas station mini-marts to get myself a fresh-brewed cup of coffee. When I picked up the pot, I could not help noticing that the brew was as black as asphalt and just about as thick.  "How old is the coffee you have here?" I asked the woman who was standing behind the store counter.

She shrugged. "I don't know.  I've only been working here two weeks."

One semester when my brother, Peter, attended the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, an art-student friend of his asked if he could paint Peter's portrait for a class assignment. Peter agreed, and the art student painted and submitted the portrait, only to receive a C minus. The art student approached the professor to ask why the grade was so poor. The teacher told him that the proportions in the painting were incorrect.

"The head is too big," the professor explained. "The shoulders are too wide, and the feet are enormous."
The next day, the art student brought Peter to see the professor.  He took one look at my brother and said, "Okay, A minus."

An Italian fellow took his mother fishing on a party boat . After drifting for hours without even a nibble, his mother hooks into one. Everyone on the boat was excited, cheering the old woman on and telling her to take her time.
Finally she lifted it into the boat, picked up the fish, removed the hook, looked at it up and down, and then tossed it back into the water.  Stunned, her son says, "Mama why did you throw that fish back into the water?"

She replied, "I don't know, to me it just didn't look fresh."
