THE GOAL OF
RECLAIMING AMERICA FOR CHRIST
The King of England willfully placed himself above the
law as he unilaterally broke the Charters that were in place between the
Colonies and Great Britain. As the Colonists sought to print Bibles
and tracts for the Indians, the King said no. As Pennsylvania voted
to outlaw slavery, the king said no. The king rejected the authority
of elected offices in America and placed his own handpicked governors over
the colonists. Finally, the rumors of a plan to “establish” the
Church of England over the colonies and outlaw other religious
denominations were one of the last straws. The king placed troops in
America even though there was no conflict with the Indians or France --
the effort was clearly to subjugate the Colonists.
As the King tightened his grip stripping liberty
from the Colonists, the Colonists themselves were uniting as a result of
the Great Awakening. Rather than 13 very divided entities, they became ONE
nation under God. It was the Patriot Pastors that were the backbone; the
Black Regiment, as the British called those men that ascended to their
pulpits in their black clerical robes and stirred the people’s hearts to
liberty from tyranny. "We'll have no King but Jesus!" was the cry and
after a long train of usurpations of the law had continued and requests
for relief gone unanswered, the Colonies finally were forced to declare
their independence.
Not only was it the influence of the Pulpit that led
to the birth of this Great Nation, but it has been the pulpit that has led
in the fight against every social ill in America whether that be slavery,
discrimination, suffrage, liquor, abortion, etc.
Reclaiming America for Christ is
not a club to join. There is no membership list and there are no dues
paying members.
Reclaiming America for Christ is simply a coordinated effort to help
pastors work together in Reclaiming their own respective states and
reestablishing the Biblical principles and the Biblical morality that
America was founded upon. We hope to:
1. Be a source of information to pastors who wish to
Reclaim their own states for Jesus Christ.
2. Be able to assist pastors with suggestions of
what has and hasn’t worked in various states around the nation.
3. Be a source of communication
between pastors in various states. We hope that our web site can help to
serve as a link between pastors in different states to become aware of,
communicate with and encourage one another.
God has called us to be Watchmen on the Wall. We are
to encourage and comfort when all is well and to cry out when danger
approaches. We are to evangelize the lost with the saving Gospel of Jesus
Christ and to stand against the spread of wickedness in our culture. We
are to be Salt and Light.
We have confused the terms “serving the Lord” with
“going to church.” The typical Christian attends Sunday service and says,
“There, I’ve served the Lord.” Not so!! Church is for the Body of Christ.
We attend church for fellowship, encouragement, accountability and Bible
preaching and teaching. We are to be “fully equipped” at church in order
to GO OUT and serve the Lord.
From Enoch to Noah; Moses to Samuel; Elijah to
Nathan, Isaiah to Daniel; John the Baptist to Paul; from Jonathon Edwards
to George Whitefield; John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg to John Witherspoon;
from Charles Finney to Dwight Moody to Billy Sunday – prophets and
preachers of God have preached faithfully the Gospel of Jesus Christ and
stood firmly for righteousness on this earth, to the common man and also
to the king.
Fundamental, evangelical preachers nearly all agree that God established
three great institutions on earth – the family, human government and the
church. We know and preach that the family must be built on the Rock of
Jesus Christ. We know and preach that the Church must be built on the Rock
of Jesus Christ. So too, government was designed by God to be subject to
and built on the Rock of Jesus Christ.
This Nation was founded upon those principles. Read
carefully the words of the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among Men…”
The purpose of government was to secure man's God
given rights. Truly, “When
the righteous are in authority the people rejoice (Proverbs 29:2)” and
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Psalm 33:12)!”
Pastors and Christians let us
all stand our watches in our own neighborhoods, communities, cities and
states to Reclaim America for Christ!!
