When The Righteous Are In Authority

This is copied from the bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church on 472 Ocean Rd in Portsmouth NH 03801 - (603) 436 - 7736. The bulletin is dated 08/11/2024.


When The Righteous Are In Authority
Proverbs 29:2

        There are two types of leaders. There are those who believe in the Word of God and put it into practice in their leadership. They are those that treat people properly. They compliment them when they are doing well. People want to follow this leader and will do more for him simply because he knows how to treat people.

        There are those who do not follow the teaching of the Word of God and who complain to those under his authority. They are not pleased with the productivity of their workers. This causes grumbling among those he leads, and he finds out that they are not happy with him as their leader.

        "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
            (Proverbs 29.2).

        This brings to mind the thought of America when it was first established by wise men who loved the Lord and established a Nation under God's authority. They were led by faith to develop a nation that followed the principles of God and incorporated the teaching of the Bible into the Declaration of Independence. the Constitution, and so on. And while our nation followed the leadership of righteous men. The people rejoiced. God blessed America full at that time.

        But over the years, there have been good leaders and bad leaders, all of which slowly allowed unrighteousness to enter into the leadership roll in order to please those who are 
no so willing to be led by the principles of God ; now we must open our eyes to what is going on in the leadership of our country. Laws are being passed that not allow immorality but fund them. There are laws are being passed that are against Bible knowledge and against allowing Biblical classes to be taught on college campuses, as well as laws against military chaplains praying in public if they are in uniform.

        Our country has become a wicked country led by people who have wicked minds pushing their wickedness on the population of our country, and the people mourn.

        God will bless a nation that loves Him, but he is not so apt to bless a country that is trying to shove Him out the back door.

        If we allow this keep up its progress there will be a time when God lifts His hand off of America. Then it will be too late to make it right again.

        Our leaders are working for us, or they should be. They must lead in the way "We the People" want it to be.

        If we want America to be blessed again we must bring into the leadership rolls in the Congress, Senate, President and the unelected Department of Justice, righteous leaders again.

        America cannot afford to keep going as it has.

        The change will not happen at the top but enough voters at the bottom can bring about rejoicing again.

        What will you do about it?

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me patient, not irritable;          That it may make be broad in my forgiveness, not narrow,     haughty and overbearing. As I go my rounds from one distraction to another, let me often whisper a word of love Thee. My my life be lived in the supernatural, fill of power for

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James.

The Lord's Pressence

  I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below. The Lord's Presence by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth May the Lord's presence for the new year be: Above You - To Guard "Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" ( Deut. 4:39 ). Underneath To Support "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" ( Deut. 33:27 ). Behind - As A Rear Guard "For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." ( Isa. 52:12 ). Before - To Lead "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" ( Isa. 45:2 ) At Your Right Hand - To Protect "I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at
