In the rare event of multiple sleepless nights, I have found myself grabbing the diphenhydramine out of the cabinet. However, not any more. I don’t want to risk my brain.
If you are trying to eliminate harmful sleep aids like diphenhydramine (which is now linked to dementia) and go with a more natural approach — Traditional Medicinals Organic Nighty Night Tea might be a better solution. Continue reading “Organic Nighty Night Tea with Valerian for Sleep”
If you are concerned about dangerous EMF exposure, you may want to consider a Trifield Gauss Meter.
I learned the hard way.

We had moved into an apartment with 21 electric meters outside our bedroom window.
It never dawned on me to be concerned about the EMF levels until I started suffering from insomnia and “crazy brain.” I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling super stressed out, with pressure in my brain that just made me feel nervous and crazy. Next, my pinky finger broke out in a major case of cellulitis. The final straw was discovering a lump in my breast.
My friend had given me a TriField Gauss Meter, but I had never thought to use it until then.
According to the meter and other literature, 3 milligauss is the top side of the safe threshold for EMFs. The electric meters outside our bedroom were producing 10-25 milligauss inside our bedroom. These unsafe levels were causing the symptoms described above.
I immediately started sleeping in the living room to mitigate the damage, but even the levels in the living room were higher than I would have liked (4-10 milligauss).
Our health is very important to us.
We knew we had to get out of those unsafe living conditions.
Thankfully, we now knew to check the EMF levels using our Trifield Gauss Meter before moving. We were able to find an apartment in the same complex with readings around 3 milligauss throughout the living space. Ultimately, zero milligauss would be preferred. But we had to stay in the complex until our lease was complete. Now, we take our TriField Gauss Meter with us whenever we look at new homes or apartments.
And I’m happy to report we are living in low EMF conditions today.
A TriField Gauss Meter is battery operated and calibrated to detect magnetic fields, electric currents, and radio or microwaves (RF).
You simply turn the TriField Gauss Meter on and place the meter near areas of concern. The meter will tell you how many milligauss of current exists in the area you are testing.
It is important to test sleeping areas and areas where you might spend a lot of time, like your favorite chair. Certain places, like electrical outlets, breaker boxes, electronics, and the like — will put out higher frequencies. This should not be of great concern. You will notice the numbers taper off as you move the meter away from those items. But it will also help you be mindful not to spend too much time around those areas.

The Maker’s Diet by Jordan Rubin is a book I can recommend with little or no hesitation.
Jordan Rubin suffered from chronic illness in college, and sought answers for his health. He found principles in the Bible that were the catalyst he needed to heal himself. Plus, Rubin studied medicine, becoming an MD so he could also help people recover from their illnesses.
In the Maker’s Diet: The 40-Day Health Experience that Will Change your Life Forever, Dr. Rubin discusses:
Plus, Rubin provides a 40-day health protocol that can help you on your journey of wellness.
If you are looking for a solid book to help instruct you on the path of healing from a medical doctor, this book will steer you in the correct direction. The only misgivings I have in recommending this book is that Dr. Rubin may rely too heavily on supplementation and not enough on food. However, there is a place for supplements when your body is not in proper balance.
The Maker’s Diet is available at Amazon. If you buy a copy from my link, it will help fund ReformedHealth.net so we can continue to share health and wellness from a biblical perspective and serve Christ’s kingdom. And you will pay the same low price that Amazon offers.
Thank you.

In my twenties, I was diagnosed with arthritis. Not something I’m proud of. But at the time, I thought it was all the rage.
Advil became my new best friend — until my stomach was in continual protest.
I was young and naive and had not fully developed my nutrition “doctrine” yet.
But, I was open to new ideas. My health-minded aunt suggested a product by Trace Minerals Research called Arth-X — i.e., arthritis no more. However, the FDA has since cracked down on any product claiming to cure anything (since they want to preserve those claims for themselves). Now, the product (with a few changes) is called Trace Minerals Active Joint Platinum.
One of the main ingredients in the product is ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops (ionic trace minerals).
Despite being a slightly skeptical, I thought I’d give Arth-X a try. I had nothing to lose but about 30 dollars a month. For the first several weeks of taking the supplement, I didn’t notice a difference. However, within a month, I experienced a marked improvement in my arthritis pain. In fact, one might say: the pain was gone entirely.
I continued using the product for about three months. I then decided I no longer needed to spend the money on the product because I felt so good, so I quit taking it. A month later, my arthritis pain returned. The returning pain convinced that Arth-X had made the difference.
However, there is more to my story — and it doesn’t directly relate to using Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops or any other Trace Minerals products.
Here’s the short story. I eventually stopped using Arth-X (now Trace Minerals Active Joint Platinum) because I was a single parent struggling to make ends meet. Junk food was my best friend. I could gobble down an entire BIG bag of Doritos in one sitting. Eating candy was my favorite pastime. And I lived on fast food.
As a result, I suffered from many chronic conditions, including:
But I did meet and marry the man of my dreams — who happened to be very health conscious. He had recovered from Chronic Illness by applying God’s principles of wellness to his life. And, when we married, I started applying the principles to my life too — and I recovered from most of my chronic conditions naturally — including arthritis.
As I sit here and write this, I am just about to turn 50 years old. I no longer have a hint of arthritis. Instead, I live pain-free without taking Arth-X or any other supplement regularly. You can learn more about our journey here. Now, my nutrition primarily comes from FOOD: a surprise to many.
However, I still use ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops on occasion.
After nearly 50 years of cavity-free teeth, I developed a cavity in my upper wisdom tooth at the gum line. And this one cavity is a bane in my side — breaking a perfect record. And recently it started to give me some pain. [Go to the dentist if you are in my position — only don’t accept mercury fillings.]
After watching a video by Dr. Axe on how to heal cavities naturally, I decided I needed to make some diet changes, including adding these items to my diet:
I also bought a WaterPik Water Flosser — which I love and recommend — because I hate to floss. If you hate to floss, the water flosser by WaterPik is easy to use. Give it a try.
Here’s the results of all the changes: no more pain in my teeth.
I’ve been making raw kefir shakes and adding several drops of Concentrace Trace Mineral Drops. I can’t say definitively how much the Mineral Drops have helped my teeth, but something is working. I suspect it is a combination of things.
Though Dr. Axe didn’t recommend it in his video, I have also been doing some oil pulling with organic coconut oil.
ConcenTrace Mineral Drops contains over 72 trace minerals that are essential to the body’s overall health — and many which are missing in the food supply today due to soil depletion. These minerals include:
ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops are made from seawater with most of the sodium removed. This process means you get trace minerals in their natural form in the proper balance that nature designed without excess sodium.
These ConcenTrace Mineral Drops are perfect for adding to Reverse Osmosis or distilled water to bring it back to a healthy mineral state, increasing the PH level. If you are using RO or distilled water regularly, you should strongly consider avoiding the associated dangers by adding minerals. Learn more.
We currently use a Berkey Water Filter to purify our water — so we know all the minerals are intact.
You can find ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops at Amazon.

It hasn’t always been this way in America. And things could get worse.
Scientists and doctors at the National Institute of Health predict that the prevalence of chronic illness will continue to rise in America. (4)
American children are suffering from an increasing rate of chronic conditions and death.

And more.
The Vaccine Injury Court has paid out over $4 billion dollars in secret court sessions so vaccine manufacturers won’t be held liable for injuries their vaccines cause. The Vaccine Court began in 1986 after vaccine manufacturers were losing money due to costly lawsuits from parents whose children were injured or killed by vaccines. The pharmaceutical industry was going to shut down the vaccine program because there were too many “unavoidable risks” to children and infants — and the lawsuits were piling up.
Rather than put an end to vaccines, legislators passed the National Vaccine Injury Act in 1986, removing the liability from the pharmaceutical industry and placing the injury burden on the public. To date, secret courts have paid out over $4 billion dollars for injury claims. Meanwhile, the drug companies are free to manufacturer their harmful vaccines without culpability.
Did you know your child has a price tag? The max payout for death is $250,000. That’s the value of the life of a child in America.
Here are some injury claims and/or risks listed on the vaccine inserts (6):
This list mimics the same chronic conditions mentioned above.
And should it be a surprise?
Consider this partial list of ingredients found in vaccines:
This is merely a partial list of the potentially damaging ingredients found in vaccines. (7) But there are others — and most of them you would not consider ingesting, let alone injecting into a day one old infant — which happens to be when the CDC recommends your child gets their first vaccine — if you don’t count the ones you are given while pregnant.
Some pro-vaccine advocates who are aware of the distasteful ingredients in vaccines excuse them away with trite sayings like — “There is more formaldehyde in a pear than a vaccine.”
Can you remember the last time you injected a pear into a day one old baby?
I feel like I should be able to stop here. Let common sense take over. But for whatever reason, people want to defend vaccines as the saviour and defender of human life (even though God assigned Himself that role long ago). There are even Christians who defend injecting toxic ingredients into infants and children — including fetal DNA fragments from aborted fetuses. I honestly can’t understand what kind of delusion could cause a Christian to wink at the murder of infants.
Here’s how they argue: Yes. The killing is a shame. But let’s make good use of the dead babies (since they’re already dead) and inject their DNA fragments into our most precious living children to save their lives (and get incensed when others don’t want to comply).
I’m sorry that I’m getting a little agitated here. But I think it should agitate you too. If someone — ANYONE — tells you it is okay to inject male and female DNA fragments into your child (gender confusion anyone?), you’ve got to question their sanity. I don’t care WHO they are. That person is deluded. At least on this issue. There is no other option.
Not all vaccines are made from aborted fetal tissue. But you’d better do your research to find out which ones are — and don’t allow anyone to inject you, your aging parents, or your children with vaccines made from human tissue. Here’s a partial list of vaccines that are made on the carcasses of human babies as of 2018:
and more. (8)
What you WILL NOT see on the vaccine insert ingredient list are the words fetal DNA fragments. Rather, the vaccine ingredient inserts will show MCR-5 or WI-38.
Allow me to introduce you to the baby boy and the baby girl who were aborted and named like something out of a science fiction horror movie.
These are not the only cell lines developed on the back of dead babies. In fact, it took the murder of 37 babies to get to WI-38. And then there’s HEK-293, PER-C6, RA-273, VA-4, RDNA, and more. (9)
These cell lines will not last forever. New vaccines will need new fetal tissue lines to continue production in the future. China is already taking the lead with WALVAX-2 (10) — but how many more dead babies do we need until we stand up and say ENOUGH?
You may remember several years ago that “stem cells” were the big discussion in medical and ethical debates — more specifically — embryonic stem cells. Was it ethical to take a female egg that had been fertilized by a male sperm and use stem cells from the five day old “embryo” or “fibroblast” to treat disease? Science thought they had found the cure all to everything.
As it turns out, fetal stem cells were not ideal for injecting into humans (imagine that) because they were tumorigenic — meaning because of their primitive nature (and maybe because it wasn’t part of God’s design for humans to be experimented on in such a vile fashion) — the stem cells grew irregularly or spontaneously morphed into something other than desired (like tumors).
Additionally, the cells were found to possibly “trigger an immune response in which the recipient’s body attacks the stem cells as foreign invaders, or the stem cells might simply fail to function normally, with unknown consequences.” (11)
While researchers continue to study how to control variables in embryonic stem cells, Dr. Theresa Deisher, PhD (with her doctorate in Molecular and Cellular Physiology from Stanford University) sought a different path: adult stem cells.
Her research led to the discovery of adult stem cells that were more stable and useful than embryonic stem cells. She was the first scientist to patent and research adult stem cells as a superior alternative to embryonic stem cells and without ethical concerns.
But stem cells are not Dr. Theresa Deisher’s only subject of research; she is also an advocate for vaccine safety. She wrote an open letter to US legislators regarding the “unrefuted scientific facts [that] vaccine[s]” are “heavily contaminated with human fetal DNA from the production process.” (12)
Deisher goes on to explain that the “levels in our children can reach up to 5 ng/ml after vaccination, depending on the age, weight and blood volume of the child. That level is known to activate Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which can cause autoimmune attacks much like the embryonic stem cells.
If for some reason you need additional testimony to the fact that there are DNA fragments from aborted fetuses in vaccines, consider this research by Corvelva, an independent research company in Italy.
What did they find in the MMRV (Priorix Tetra) vaccine? (13)
We will leave it up to you to research what all these things mean. But I assure you, it isn’t good.
How much aborted fetal DNA is acceptable to inject into children?
It seems practical from a Christian worldview that the answer would be none. And the answer science should give is “we really do not know” — because there have been very little (if any) studies to determine the dangers. And the studies that have been done on this issue are seemingly ignored — because they don’t show results that support the pro-vaccine narrative.
Morality aside (though it is never an aside), fetal DNA injected into the flesh of another human can generate a negative immune response leading to auto-immunity (your immune system attacking your own tissue and organs and/or incorporating into the genes of those injected) according to Molecular and Cellular Physiologist, Dr. Theresa Deisher.
But that is not the only evidence that should cause you to question vaccine safety.
The reality is that there have been no safety studies that show that vaccines are safe.
When a pharmaceutical drug is tested for safety, it must go through rigorous testing that last years. And the drug must be tested with an inert placebo like sugar or saline. (14)
For example: (15)
These trials lasted from 4.25 years to over 6.5 years — and each was conducted with an inert placebo.
Would you expect more stringent testing for mandated vaccinations for children — or at least something similar?
The reality is abhorrent.
If the gold standard for pharmaceutic approval is a double blind placebo study with an inert control — and safety testing usually lasts years — what would you expect for vaccine safety studies?
Let’s consider the two name brands of the Hepatitis B vaccine given to our most vulnerable United States citizens on day one of birth.
We will go straight to the vaccine inserts to see how many months and years Merck’s RECOMBIVAX HB (hepatitis B) vaccine was safety tested prior to approval by the FDA.
If you question these statistics, you can access the vaccine insert for yourself. (19)
Perhaps GlaxoSmithKline was more concerned about the clinical trials. You decide:
Again, these statistics are not a secret. They are listed directly on the vaccine insert that YOUR doctor is SUPPOSED to SHARE with YOU along with the associated risks before injecting you (or your child) with a needle. (20)
Del Bigtree, medical journalist and vaccine-safety advocate has dug deep into the safety trials and discovered something even more astonishing than the lack of long-term safety testing of vaccines.
Even more amazing is that unlike every drug licensed by the FDA, the control groups in these vaccine trials did not receive an inert placebo. Rather, the control group was given one or more previously licensed vaccines as the “placebo.” This means each new vaccine need only be roughly as safe as one (or in some cases numerous) previously licensed vaccines. Such flawed and unscientific study designs cannot establish the actual safety profile of any vaccine. The real adverse event rate for a vaccine can only be determined by comparing subjects receiving the vaccine with those receiving an inert placebo. Yet, this study design, required for every drug, is never required before or after licensing a vaccine. (21)
Additionally, Bigtree, working side by side with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has questioned the Health and Human Services (HHS) about these concerns. The HHS is the government organization “entrusted” with vaccine safety.
When asked why there were no double-blind inert placebo studies (or if there were to PROVIDE them) — HHS responded, saying that there were no double-blind inert placebo studies and that it would be unethical to deprive children of vaccines in order to do those studies.
Watch Dr. Stanley Plotkins, the grandfather of vaccines, testify to the “unethical” nature of double blind placebo testing for vaccines on children (stay tuned for about 2 minutes — and if you really want an education about vaccines, watch to all nine hours of deposition — or download a copy).
I know I’ve presented you with a lot of “controversial” information on vaccine safety. I challenge you to read every footnote and every source that I’ve shared on this topic. Challenge my conclusions. I welcome it. You can even email me with any proof that what I have stated here is false. I will look into it. If I have shared anything that can not be substantiated, I will update this post to reflect it and send you an email letting you know what I have done. However, I will not respond to trolls. You know who you are.
If you are sickened by what I have shared and want to snatch your friends out of the fire, I’ve included some action tips below.
There are several things you can do to help spread the word about vaccine safety. But take heed. The pharmaceutical industry owns Hollywood, social media, Google, FaceBook, mainstream media, Congress, and other players in the vaccine debate. They are paying BILLIONS of dollars to make their narrative louder than mine — even though the facts speak for themselves. Vaccines are a slam dunk profit machine. Once a vaccine gets on the vaccine schedule two things happen:
It is for these two reasons that the pharmaceutical companies are scratching and clawing to silence vaccine-safety advocates around the globe.
Read about the realities of vaccine censorship here.
But here are some practical steps you can take to make a difference in this crucial issue.
You must arm yourself with the truth about vaccine safety. Here are some sound resources to start you on your journey.
The pharmaceutical giants and those working toward their agenda have spread enough false information about vaccines. Don’t participate in their lying tactics. Always make sure what you are sharing is the truth. Double check your facts. We have an obligation to be extra careful with what vaccine information we share so that our message will be spotless and true. One false fact can discredit everything — even if the rest of our testimony is accurate.
It can be very difficult to tolerate the lies of the pharmaceutical industry and those who promote its agenda. Many people have fallen prey to the deception and lies — even good people. Every inclination may be to become annoyed and disrespectful of those who promote the vaccine agenda. But we must be the light in this issue — and show respect to all men and women — even if they disagree.
I’ve made this mistake. So I know it happens. I too must be extra vigilant in this area. I admit that it is a struggle.
It can be extremely discouraging to see vaccine propaganda promoted and pushed upon the American people. When laws are passed that trample human rights and mandate vaccinations, we might be tempted to lose heart and feel that we have lost the battle. We must stay encouraged, remembering that God is on our side. He hates liars and deceivers. And He never approves of harming some to save others. It is not His way. He is on the side of righteousness and justice always. And He will win this battle.
We don’t know how long this battle will rage; but we must keep fighting the good fight.
Don’t allow your heart to be calloused over the children and adults injured by vaccines. Weep for every injured party — even for those parents who refuse to see or believe the connection.
Pray for God to intervene and put an end to the atrocities done in the name of healthcare. Here is where I pray imprecatory prayers. While I must be respectful of naysayers, I can ask God to silence, discredit, destroy, or convert those men and women who support vaccines.
Specifically, I pray in this way by name for:
And I ask God to remove, silence, destroy, and tear down all liars, deceivers, and censors in the media who are promulgating death until they repent, including by name:
God is the one with all power, authority, and dominion over this earth. Satan is a usurper, and we must put an end to his wiles. As Christians, it is our responsibility to enact righteousness and justice on His earth. Presently, the church is failing. We have handed over the reigns of civil and self government to the dominion of darkness — but Christ has transferred us into the Kingdom of His Son and has asked us to teach all nations to obey everything that He has commanded.
The two great commandments are love God and love your neighbor.
What better way to love your neighbor than to warn them of the atrocities of vaccinations? Would God have us kill and harm some in order to save others? Because that is precisely what is happening in the name of vaccinations. No Christian leader can refute this unless they themselves are unaware of the dangers of vaccines.
Yet Christian leaders and organizations are vocally supporting vaccinations, including Focus on the Family, Gospel Coalition, Creation Ministries International, and more. These are organizations that Christians respect.
Either these Christian leaders don’t know that vaccines are harming people — or they have adopted the pagan practice of child sacrifice and are willing to inflict harm on some children to save others.
When I share vaccine safety information, I inevitable hear someone say, “But polio…” or “What about small pox?”
Here’s what they are really asking: “Aren’t vaccines effective at eradicating childhood diseases?”
But the question of efficacy (i.e., are vaccines really saving some) has not even been addressed in this post. And it is an important topic that must be studied — not just accepted because someone says “vaccines are safe and effective.”
Effective for what?
Are vaccines responsible for eradicating disease in America and around the world?
The answer is out there.
A great place to start studying this topic is Dissolving Illusions by Dr. Suzanne Humpries.
Thank you for sticking with me until the end. I am excited to see what great things God will do if we will submit ourselves to his good ways — which do not include child sacrifice.

This question, “In what way are we dead to the law?” is asked in conjunction with a more extensive study that I am undertaking, namely the validity of the Law of God for today.
I sense in my heart and have been taught that God’s Law IS valid today — yet others disagree. Therefore, I’m setting out to be convinced fully from Scripture — so that I can heartily defend the proper position — with a willingness to be corrected.
Paul tells us in Romans 7:4 that we are dead regarding the Law of God. Continue reading “In What Way Are We Dead to the Law?”
Having moved nearly 20 times in the last 15 years, in 7 states, and 14 cities, I have sat in many churches with various teachings.
One of the most problematic doctrines I’ve encountered is the idea that God somehow miscalculated history and had to accommodate the error by instituting the “church age” rather than establishing His kingdom on earth.
The truth is, I didn’t always see the teaching as problematic — because it was such a prevalent teaching in the church.
However, through a series of extremely harsh events — including being “excommunicated” from a fellowship of believers — I began looking outside of the traditional mainstream denominational churches to find a place to belong. I must note that the offending church apologized for falsely kicking me out of their church and requested that I come back.
Some things take more than an apology — I was ready to move on.
A book called Character Assassins: Dealing with Ecclesiastical Tyrants and Terrorists introduced me to a new paradigm: Reformed Presbyterianism.
What did I find?
It turns out, dividing the Word of God into two parts, was not the accurate way to divide the word of truth. Plus, there was no historic grounds for this kind of hermeneutic in the early Christian church. The teaching is relatively new — which I will share about momentarily. Continue reading “How Christ Fulfilled the Land Promised to Abraham”
I’m setting out to study God’s Law because I trust Jesus when He said that He didn’t come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.
Jesus also stated that not a jot or tittle would pass away from the Law until everything is accomplished. I understand this to refer to His physical return.
In His same sermon, Christ warned that those who teach others to ignore the least of the commandments of God would be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven, and those who are careful to observe the least of these will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. See Matthew 5:17-19.
The answer to this question varies from church to church and denomination to denomination. Some say there are no commandments at all, merely “suggestions.” Others teach a three-fold nature to the law: Ceremonial, Civil, and Moral — and claim we are only obligated to keep the moral.
We know decisively that the sacrificial elements of the Ceremonial Laws are no longer necessary because Christ is the final sacrifice. Now, when we need forgiveness for sins, we don’t have to slay an animal. Rather, we look to Christ, the Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world.
But how do we know precisely which laws are ceremonial? And which laws are civil? If they are valid? And if they’re the “least” of these commandments? Or is Jesus merely talking about…
There are many beautiful Bible verses about the Law of God. What a wonderful and exciting topic. As you are reading through this list, be sure to make a note of the Bible verses about the Law of God that show benefits to those who obey.

Is there evidence that the roots of Western Civilization dig deep into the God’s law? What will happen if a civil government turns instead to man’s law as the fundamental rule of society?
God’s law is perfect, sure, right, pure, true, and altogether righteous. It can restore the soul, make wise men out of simpletons, cause hearts to rejoice, and give understanding to the mind. (Psalm 19:7-11)
The Law of God has the power to make students wiser than their teachers, elders, and even their enemies. (Psalm 119:98-99)
Plus, God’s Law endures forever. It never changes, has the power to free captives, brings life and healing, and causes blessing to the people and nations who love and esteem it.
Who can say with David, “Oh how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long”?
Read some of my favorite passages on the Law of God.
Is it any wonder that God-fearing men and women of the past looked to God’s law as the proper and right way to rule their lives and nations?
Now we can understand why in the 14th-century, John Wycliffe was firmly intent on translating the Bible into the common tongue. He wrote, “This Bible is for the government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
Christendom of past understood her role as “the Israel of God.” They were subject to His law, however unfaithful they may have been at applying it at times.
Nonetheless, biblical law was accepted as the basis for ruling Christian nations. And so it once was in America.
The early colonies in America, heavily influenced by the Puritans, sought to bring the rule of God to New England. Thus, on March 2, 1641-2 and April 3, 1644, the New Haven Colony codified that God’s Law would be the law of the Colony.
Included in these ordinances were these provisions:
Thomas Shephard, a highly esteemed Puritan preacher and figure in early colonial New England saw value in the ceremonial aspects of the Law of God also. He saw ceremonial laws as potential applications of the decalogue.
Shephard was careful not to teach others to disobey even the least of the commandments.
Those who see the Puritan’s understanding of the law as an unnatural practice for Christians, deny the Bible itself. Christ taught that not a jot or tittle shall pass from the law until He returns physically to earth.
Instead, those who ignore God’s law as essential and valid for men and nations today have abandoned the teaching of Scripture and the God who changes not.
Matthew opens the earthly ministry of Jesus with His appeal to obey and teach the whole law of God (Matthew 5:17-18) and He closes the book with the same command:
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…teaching them to obey all that I have commanded.” — Matthew 28:18-20
To deny the Law is to deny the purpose of the church and to deny Christ.
If we don’t attempt to get back to the biblical roots of Western Civilization, we are not a Christian nation. We cannot expect God to shower us with His promises. Blessings come to those who seek to obey all He has commanded.
When we deny His law, we can expect His curses. See Deuteronomy 28.
