Introduction

Harvard was built by Puritans to teach men how to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Yet, today alumni claim that 70% of the professors are socialists and 30% are communists.

Today in many universities of America, students who have faith in Christ are mocked.  Those who are pro-Israel are shouted down or disinvited.  

Bible Positions on Political Issues 

Proverbs 29:2 - When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

How do the righteous get in authority?  When the righteous get off the couch and vote.

[1] What does the Bible say about Socialism?

  • We must take back America from godless socialism.  

  • Socialism is paganism.  It makes the government the god and will not tolerate the church

  • Socialist governments tell the people what to do.  Democracy has the people tell the government what we want them to do.

  • Socialism seeks to create chaos because it will destroy the history of a nation

  • If we don’t choose law, then we are choosing anarchy

  • Speak up, fight back, stand up for our constitutional rights and our Biblical faith

  • In the Bible, you get nothing until you work for it.  You don’t wait for the government to send you a check in the mailbox

[2] Work is honorable 

  • God worked for 6 days.  All work is honorable 

Exodus 20:9 - Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

  • The 10 commandments say 6 days you should work

2 Thessalonians 3:10 - For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

  • A man who does not work, shall not eat

Revelation 22:12 - “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

  • When you stand before God, He will not applaud you because you arrived.  He will reward you because of what you did.

[3] Fighting for Freedom of Speech 

  • As Christians, we must reclaim our freedom of speech

  • Acts 4 - Peter and John were preaching the Gospel with boldness.  The Roman politicians had a meeting (vs.17) to stop them from speaking Christ’s name.  That’s a freedom of speech issue

Acts 4:17 - But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”

  • (vs. 29-31) The place that they were assembled together was shaken by the Holy Spirit 

Acts 4:29-31 - Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

  • How do we combat this fight for our freedom of speech?  

2 Timothy 4:2 - Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

  • Preach the word with boldness, without apology, and until the name of God is glorified 

  • Preach the word until we have victory over the world

  • If we don’t use our freedom to defend our freedom, we will lose our freedom 

[4] What the Bible says of Abortion  

Proverbs 6:16,17 - These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,

  • There is no blood more innocent than the blood of a baby in the womb of his mother 

  • 62 million babies have killed through abortion since Roe v. Wade was established

    • 3,000 babies are murdered every week 

  • The child in the womb at 6 weeks old, already has eyes, lungs, heart, brain wave, and unique DNA from the mother 

    • The mother is the host not the executioner of that baby

  • At 20 weeks, the baby feels pain.  The abortion techniques are painful for the child

  • Choose life!

John 10:10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Deuteronomy 30:19 - I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

  • The blood of an innocent child cries out to God for vengeance (Proverbs 6:17)

    • There have been attacks on children throughout the history of civilization 

    • Pharoah attacked Hebrew male children when they were being born.  Why?  If you kill all the Jewish boys, the Jewish girls would have nobody of Jewish descent to marry.  In one generation, the Jews would be wiped out.

    • Herod slaughtered children aged 2 years and younger in an attempt to kill Jesus Christ as a child

    • Satan attacks the children when he tries to destroy a nation 

      • 62 million children murdered in 47 years

Isaiah 49:1 - “Listen, O coastlands, to Me, And take heed, you peoples from afar! The Lord has called Me from the womb; From the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name.

Isaiah 49:5 - “And now the Lord says, Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, So that Israel is gathered to Him (For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, And My God shall be My strength),

Jeremiah 1:4,5 - Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

  • God knew us from the womb

  • According to the word of God, that life is precious and ordained
