Utopia!

Here's what I believe:

If we (human beings) would just take the Bible seriously
as it is the Word of God
we could create Heaven on Earth.

Another way of saying the same thing:

If we (human beings) would just take the Bible seriously
as it is the Word of God
we could create Paradise on Earth.

Nobody in 2021 agrees with me.

Many people tell me, "But human beings are sinners."

Yeah. So? I'm saying (to use the words of the great psychologist, Bob Newhart) "Stop it!"
I'm saying, "Let's stop ignoring the Bible!"
"Let's do what it says!"

Many people tell me, "That's just a utopian delusion."

I reply, America became the most prosperous and admired nation in history by following such a "utopian delusion."

I say "utopia" means "a good place." (From the Greek eu, "good," and topos, "place.")
Other people say "utopia" comes from the Greek ou, "not" or "no," and topos, "place." "No place." No place that will ever exist.

R.J. Rushdoony, the founder of the "Christian Reconstruction" movement, has advocated a different way of looking at "utopia":

This is what John Adams, later second President of the U.S., wrote in his diary on February 22, 1756: 

Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book,
and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited!
Every member would be obliged in conscience,
   to temperance, frugality, and industry,
   to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and
   to piety, love and reverence towards Almighty God.
What a Utopia, what a Paradise would this region be.

Like others of his day, Adams was a theonomist!

"Theonomy" means "God's Law." See Micah's prophecy below.

Adams helped negotiate (and signed) the The Paris Peace Treaty of September 30, 1783, a treaty imposed by the victorious Americans on the defeated British after the Americans won the War for Independence. That official treaty begins with these words:

In the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity.

It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the hearts of the most serene and most potent Prince George the Third, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, ... and of the United States of America, to forget all past misunderstandings and differences that have unhappily interrupted the good correspondence and friendship which they mutually wish to restore....

Adams also signed the Declaration of Independence (1776). That document speaks of "The Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." One of the most celebrated legal scholars of that day, William Blackstone, said that these laws "are to be found only in the holy scriptures." He was echoing John Locke (1632-1704), who was a Christian philosopher who had a great influence in America. Locke said:

The Law of Nature stands as an eternal rule to all men, legislators as well as others. The rules that they make for other men's actions must . . . be conformable to the Law of Nature, i.e., to the will of God.
Human laws must be made according to the general laws of Nature, and without contradiction to any positive law of Scripture, otherwise they are ill made.
Locke, Two Treatises on Government, Bk II sec 135. (quoting Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity, 1.iii, § 9 )

"Theonomy" means God's Law, or God's Will. Jesus told His disciples to pray that God's Will would be done "in earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). In other words, that God's Will would be done by human beings on earth as it is done by angels in heaven.

In other words, that the Bible would be obeyed in Church and State.

The overwhelming majority of people who call themselves Christians in 2021 do not believe that this prayer will ever be answered.

I believe it is already being answered.

But it won't be answered if we don't pray it.

And if we don't work for it.

If we obey Jesus and pray that God's Will would be done on earth, then God will "dispose the hearts" of sinful human beings to do so.

Including your own heart.

If that's what you want, then you should hire me as Your Bible Coach.

Hire me as Your Bible Coach, complete my assignments (including reading the Bible from cover to cover), and

you will experience

massive, and lasting

The Bible is the most important book in the history of the human race.
It is the blueprint for what we call "Western Civilization."
Nations that honor the Bible have enjoyed peace, prosperity, virtue, and freedom.
Nations that censor the Bible have more violence, more poverty, more envy and hatred, more tyranny.
America was built on the Bible, in large part. In 1892 the Supreme Court of the United States proudly boasted that America was "a Christian nation."
When America followed the Bible, she was the most prosperous and admired nation in history.
As the United States banned the Bible, the country moved from prosperity to bankruptcy, and from admiration to contempt and ridicule.
The United States has rejected the Bible, is now "secular," not Christian, and is arguably the most violent and toxic nation on earth.
It turns out that America's Founding Fathers placed a mixture of the Bible and pagan Greco-Roman philosophy in their nation's foundation, and now the building is collapsing.
What If the Bible Had Never Been Written?
The Book That Made America: How the Bible Formed Our Nation

What the Bible has done for civilization, the Bible can do for you.
What the Bible did for America, the Bible can do for you.
You can move from bankruptcy to prosperity, and from failure to the admiration of others.

More on why the Bible is the most important book in the history of the human race.

A few years after John Adams signed the Declaration of Independence, a new brand of "Christianity" was invented, called "Dispensational Premillennialism." There are many varieties of this view, but one variety holds that God has predestined the world to get worse and worse (so no point in following Jesus and praying that God's will would be done on earth). After things get really bad, Jesus comes back ("the Second Coming"). While the details vary from writer to writer, we're told that Jesus will do what He failed to do at His First Coming: set up a Jewish Police State with a rebuilt temple and reinstated animal sacrifices. But even from a throne in Jerusalem, King Jesus cannot create utopia. So after a thousand years, He takes His football and goes home to heaven, where all the Christians will be for eternity.

It seems like God's original idea of creating human beings in the Image of God and putting them on earth to "exercise dominion" and build the City of God was a complete failure. One Dispensational Premillennialist writer puts it this way

In fact, dominion – taking dominion and setting up the kingdom of Christ – is an impossibility, even for God. The millennial reign of Christ, far from being the kingdom, is actually the final proof of the incorrigible nature of the human heart, because Christ Himself can’t do it.

So I guess this writer would say that the Treaty of Paris is mistaken when it claims that God can "dispose the heart" and bring "peace on earth."

"Premillennialism" in some form is the dominant view of the two billion Christians on earth today. I disagree with the whole kit and kaboodle of this view.

So one of the most important things I can do for you as a coach is to empower you to live by

Three Very, Very Important Bible Verses

When you read the Bible and it challenges a pet doctrine or long-held opinion of yours, you need to keep these three verses in mind:

Acts 17:11
"Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true."

You must be willing to study your Bible every day, as students in every university in America were required to do in 1718, to become prepared to challenge all earthly authorities with the Word of God.
 
Proverbs 18:17
"The first to state his case seems right until another comes forward and examines him."

Expect to be cross-examined on some of your cherished beliefs. Prepare to have ideas you've always believed were true to be challenged. Don't just say "But my Pastor says . . . ." Find out what the Bible says (see Acts 17:11, above).
 
Proverbs 27:17
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

Be willing to challenge others and to be challenged yourself.
When iron sharpens iron, sometimes sparks may fly.
Always be patient and ready to reconcile. We're here to help each other grow, not to criticize each other, or belittle each other.
Building up, not cutting down.

Are you willing to be sharpened?


The Bible is the most important book in the history of the human race.
Especially if you believe, as I do, that the Bible was written by God, using human "pens" that God personally created, bringing into existence some 40 authors, writing from three continents over nearly two thousand years, giving them the exact mother and father they needed, living in the exact environment they needed, having the exact life experiences they needed, so that they wrote their part of the Bible in the exact way God wanted it to be written, in order for God to express to you His will for your life, and His will for the entire human race on planet earth, across the ages, into the future.

2 Timothy 3:16 says:

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The word "inspiration" (θεόπνευστος, theσpneustos) means "breathed out by God." God put His Own Words into the mouths and pens of the human authors of the Bible. God "disposed their hearts."

Why I Believe the Bible is the Word of God


My Coaching Program consists of two parts.
First, I want you to understand the Bible and be convinced that it is the Word of God.
Second, I want you to apply the Bible to specific problems in your life or goals you want to achieve.
If enrolling as a coaching client does not solve the problem you've been working on, or the goal you want to achieve,
I'll refund 100% of your coaching fees and cut you a check for $1,000.00.
You just have to complete my coaching assignments.

I believe "the Bible has all the answers." An ordinary high-school dropout can practice what the Bible teaches and solve big problems and achieve great goals.


Our coaching program is sponsored by a non-profit tax-exempt organization called

Vine & Fig Tree

The name "Vine & Fig Tree" comes from the fourth chapter of the prophet Micah, and is set forth below. You've probably heard Micah's words before -- we beat our "swords into plowshares" and everyone dwells safely under their own "Vine & Fig Tree.

We believe "the real meaning of Christmas" is that Jesus is the Messiah and has already begun fulfilling this and other prophecies. Another word for "Messianic Age" is "Western Civilization."

America's Founding Fathers were familiar with this vision: "Vine & Fig Tree" is the worldview that made America "the greatest nation on God's green earth."

George Washington's Diaries are available online at the Library of Congress. The LOC.GOV website introduces Washington's writings with these words:
No theme appears more frequently in the writings of Washington than his love for his land. The diaries are a monument to that concern. In his letters he referred often, as an expression of this devotion and its resulting contentment, to an Old Testament passage. After the Revolution, when he had returned to Mount Vernon, he wrote the Marquis de Lafayette on Feb. 1, 1784:

"At length my Dear Marquis I am become a private citizen on the banks of the Potomac, & under the shadow of my own Vine & my own Fig-tree."

This phrase occurs at least 11 times in Washington's letters.

"And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree" (2 Kings 18:31).

"Under My Own Vine and Fig Tree, 1798" by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris, Lora Robins Collection of Virginia Art, Virginia Historical Society
Under My Own Vine and Fig Tree, 1798
Jean Leon Gerome Ferris
Virginia Historical Society
Lora Robins Collection of Virginia Art

      Peter Lillback, author of a 1,000-page study of Washington's life and thought, has found more than 40 references to the “Vine and Fig Tree” vision in Washington's Papers.
      Many other American Founders wrote of this ideal.
      "Vine & Fig Tree" is the original "American Dream."
 
The phrase occurs a number of times in Scripture. These references are visual reminders of the Hebrew word for salvation, which means
  • deliverance
  • victory
  • security
  • peace
  • wholeness
  • health
  • welfare, and
  • private property free from princes and pirates.
When today's Americans hear the word "salvation," they usually think about going to heaven when they die. When the writers of the Bible used the word "salvation," they wanted you to be thinking about dwelling safely under your own Vine & Fig Tree during this life -- much more often than they wanted you to be thinking about what you'll be doing in the afterlife.

The best place to see the Vine & Fig Tree ideal is in the book of Micah.

 Let's look at Micah's prophecy (on the left) and ask a few questions (on the right):
And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the House of the LORD
Will be established as the chief of the mountains
And it will be raised above the hills
  Are we in the "last days?"

When did this establishment take place?

And the peoples will stream to it.
And many nations will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD
And to the House of the God of Jacob,
Is Christianity doomed to minority status throughout history? Hasn't Christianity been growing since the first century?
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths."
For from Zion will go forth the Law
Even the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
  What should be the Christian's attitude toward the Law? Is Jesus Lord? Isn't every Word of a "Lord" "Law?"
And He will judge between many peoples
And rebuke mighty, distant nations.
Then they will hammer their
swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation
And never again will they train for war.
Are we commanded to beat our swords into plowshares today? Or do we wait for the Second Coming?

Are Christians "pacifists?"
And each of them will sit under his   What is a family?
What about private property?
Vine and under his  fig tree,
With no one to make them afraid.
For the LORD of hosts has spoken.
Do all Christians have a garden? What about technology? What about the military? What about "public works?" What is it that really brings "security" and "prosperity?"
Though all the peoples walk
Each in the name of his god,
As for us, we will walk
In the Name of the LORD our God
forever and ever.
  What if all the politicians, university professors, TV commentators, bloggers, newspaper editors, rock stars, scientists, CEO's, celebrities, athletes, authors, and think-tanks repudiate the Vine & Fig Tree vision and tell you not to believe it?
In that day, saith the LORD,
will I assemble her that halteth,
and I will gather her that is driven out,
and her that I have afflicted;
And I will make her that halted a remnant,
and her that was cast far off a strong nation:
and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion
from henceforth, even for ever.
Should we strive to be on top, or to help those on the bottom? Is God on the side of those who have accomplished much by their own power and initiative, or is He on the side of those who are willing to be used by God to accomplish much to His Glory?

Here are seven "Core Values" that can be seen in Micah's vision:

Preterism Jesus is the Christ, today. | "The Mountain Established" And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the House of the LORD
Will be established as the chief of the mountains
And it will be raised above the hills
Optimillennialism The World must be Christianized. | "All nations, all peoples"
  • God's Creation is a universe, not a multiverse.
  • True "diversity" means all ethnic groups are invited to become Christian
  • Not "European," or "American," but Christian.
  • This has been happening for two millennia.
  • The world is not getting worse and worse
  • No Bible College in America will admit that the world is dramatically more Christian today than it was 2,000 years ago.
  • No Bible College in America confidently believes that the best is yet to come.
And the peoples will stream to it.
And many nations will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD
And to the House of the God of Jacob,
Theonomy Jesus alone is the Christ, the Lord, the King, the Lawgiver, the Judge | "His path, the Law-Word"
  • We are to bring every area of life under His jurisdiction, under His Law.
  • Isaiah 33:22
  • "Theonomy" ("God's Law") is a forbidden subject in every Bible College in America.
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths."
For from Zion will go forth the Law
Even the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Pacifism Peace through Peace, not through "Strength." | "Swords into Plowshares"
  • Other universities are extensions of the Military-Industrial Complex.
  • Jesus is our Savior, not the Pentagon
  • Vengeance belongs to God
  • "Archism" is sinful.
  • No Bible College in America will admit that Jesus commands us to be pacifists, we should not "support the troops," and we should abolish "the Department of Defense."
And He will judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, distant nations.
Then they will hammer their
swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation
And never again will they train for war.
Patriarchy The monogamous heterosexual family is the root of civilization. "Patriarchy" is a hated word. It doesn't mean what you think it means.
  • Christian morality begins at home.
  • Vine & Fig Tree is a decentralized family-centered society
  • Homosexuals, transgenders, cross-dressers, and others who violate Biblical commands are invited to enroll in Vine & Fig Tree University -- an offer no Bible College in America will make. (And possibly an offer no "gay activist" will accept.)
  • Jesus is our Priest and King
  • All Christians are priests and kings
  • No humans are priests or kings.
  • Imagine a society made up entirely of loving families and no priests and no politicians.
And each of them will sit under his
Agrarianism "Salvation" in the Bible means the restoration of the conditions of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 1-2)
  • But Man's goal and purpose is to build the Garden into the City of God. (Revelation 21-22)
  • Is "Industrialism" possible without the sword (police and military) of "the State?"
  • Will we have "agrarianism" or "technocracy?"
  • Who decides?
Vine and under his  fig tree,
With no one to make them afraid.
For the LORD of hosts has spoken.
Character The ability to stand against the crowd, in faith, in obedience to God. Though all the peoples walk
Each in the name of his god,
As for us, we will walk
In the Name of the LORD our God
forever and ever.
Community "No man is an island." Community: Serving the weak rather than the powerful | The "driven out" and "afflicted"
  • First step for students: mentoring.
  • Second step: "works of mercy."
  • Third step: production. Selling something other people buy voluntarily. A Godly calling.
  • The world's poor are best served by a division of labor under a Free Market, directed by an "Invisible Hand" who "assembles," "gathers," and "makes strong."
In that day, saith the LORD,
will I assemble her that halteth,
and I will gather her that is driven out,
and her that I have afflicted;
And I will make her that halted a remnant,
and her that was cast far off a strong nation:
and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion
from henceforth, even for ever.

This vision stands in stark contrast to

  • Atheistic Communism
  • Secular Fascism, Socialism, Keynesianism
  • Both Republicans and Democrats
  • Christianity as seen in most churches
  • Christianity as portrayed by Hollywood
  • Christianity as taught in atheistic universities

In short, this is the vision

  • that made America
  • that was banned by the United States
  • that can heal the world.

And healing the world begins with you.

We as a society will never beat our "swords into plowshares" and live peacefully under our Vine & Fig Tree unless we as individuals declare our allegiance to the true "Ruler of Nations." That means you.

Here are Four More Reasons Why
You Should Read the Bible
With Your Bible Coach

1. You are a Victim of Educational Malpractice.

Schools were originally created to make sure everyone in town could read the Bible. The United States Federal Government now prohibits teachers in your local public school from teaching the Bible the way it was taught in America 300 years ago. Today the Bible can only be described in terms acceptable to atheists. You've never heard the Bible described the way Your Bible Coach describes it. Never.

Find out more.

2. Did I mention that The Bible is the most important book in the history of the human race.

Proof

3.  Plus, the Bible is the Word of God.

What this means.

4. The Bible is the only path to "peace on earth."

Explanation
Our Goal for the Planet:

The message of the angels to the shepherds on the first Christmas:

And this is the sign unto you:
Ye shall find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
and lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel
a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest,
And peace on earth
among men with whom He is well pleased.

Our Goal for You:

To be one with whom God is well pleased:

His lord said unto him, `Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.' Matthew 25:21

Peace on Earth Begins with You.

"Blessed are the Peacemakers."

  1. Since you're going to lose this little wager, you might as well pay $1,000 now and get started solving your problems and achieving your goals. (There's still a double-your-money-back guarantee. There's no risk on your part.)
  2. If you're not willing to pay the $1,000 fee today, then
    • there must be something more you want to know about the program. Keep reading.
    • or else you think you're going to pick up an easy $1,000. Well, it won't be easy. Reading the Bible is not easy. Understanding it takes even more work. Applying it to your life so you can solve your problems or achieve your goal is, frankly, impossible -- without the aid of the Holy Spirit.
    • But if you're willing to engage in this wager, I ask that you first go through an orientation "boot camp." Sign up here.
  3. Keep reading and learn more about the program.

What Does a "Coach" Do?

If you wanted to become a professional tennis player, the first thing you should do is hire a coach.

I would like to be Your Bible Coach. The Bible is the playbook. All you need is the willingness to show up for training camp and run the plays with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul, and all your strength.

“Gentlemen, this is a football

The iconic coach Vince Lombardi began each season standing before a room full of professional NFL football veterans holding up a football and saying, "Gentlemen, this is a football."

As if they didn't know.

Lombardi's point: championship teams are made not by concocting unprecedented "Hail Mary" plays, but by going back to the basics, building a rock-solid foundation, and consistently executing disciplined progress toward the goal.

Once you lay a solid foundation and master the basics,
your personal coach can help you
overcome big problems
or achieve extraordinary goals
in all the most important areas of your life:

Faith Family Finances Fitness

• Big questions
• Purpose in life
• Pleasing God

• Who to marry
• Successful marriage
• Parenting

• Career change
• Getting out of debt
• Starting your own business

• Health
• Energy
• Longevity

... and many other goals to achieve and problems to solve
  

More about "coaching."

If you show up, and my coaching doesn't help you follow God's Playbook and make your way down field to the goal, I will write you a check for $1,000.00 (one thousand U.S. dollars).

Of course there's "a catch."

I will not accept you as a coaching client until you complete a 95-day orientation boot-camp. During this orientation I will summarize the Bible and explain my coaching program. A day-by-day summary of the orientation boot camp is found here.

Second, I will not bother trying to help you solve big problems or achieve big goals as your coach unless you know what the Bible is about. As I will prove in a minute, you are a victim of educational malpractice. You went to atheistic schools and experienced a form of cult brainwashing. You need to be de-programmed. Therefore you must complete the following 3 steps:

  1. Cut out one hour per day of the "mainstream media."
  2. In its place, read the Bible from cover to cover
  3. Get two other people to join you in this commitment.
  4. Do this for the next 365 days.

Only then will we begin systematically solving your problems and achieving your goals.

Since I truly want to become Your Bible Coach, it is in my interest to help you complete these assignments. I have created a FREE program where you'll have access to a password-protected membership site where I will post your daily Bible reading assignments, make sure you understood what you read, do my best to encourage you to keep going, and answer any questions you might have along the way. Everybody in their first year will be working through the Bible, not on individual personal goals or problems.

The Bible has created peace and prosperity wherever it has been followed. The most peaceful and prosperous nations have been those that have respected the Bible. Governments that ban the Bible subject their serfs to slavery, poverty, and mass death.  But even in America, we have put only a tiny fraction of the Bible into practice.

You've probably heard it said that the average person uses less than 10% of the power of the human brain.

Consider the possibility that human beings have so far used less than 1% (one percent) of the potential power of the Bible.

If you had lived in America 300 years ago, you wouldn't need a "Bible Coach" because you would have studied the Bible and gained a Christian world-and-life-view in school. The Bible made America the most prosperous and admired nation in history. The government banned the Bible and America is now bankrupt and despised. You too are a victim.
You pay (or somebody else pays) $13,000 a year to have one of your children mis-educated in a government-operated school which despises the Bible. For a fraction of that price, and in one year instead of twelve (12 x $13,000/yr = $156,000), you can experience the most profound, beneficial, massive, and lasting personal transformation of your entire life. Or we'll give you your tuition back.
The Bible contains the secrets to your success in life.
The Bible contains the solutions to all your problems.

Answer #3: YOU are a Victim of Educational Malpractice

“Houston, we have a problem”

If George Washington could travel two centuries through time, and see what has happened to the United States of America, he would be horrified. He would be outraged.
He would see we have a big problem.
The first problem is that most people don't see we have a problem.
Even America's most intelligent, most patriotic citizens -- like you -- would be taken back if George Washington looked you right in the eye and said, 
“YOU have a problem
It's not just that George Washington fought a government which was like a cockroach in a child's sandbox that needed to be removed. Our government is like a huge Godzilla, towering like a skyscraper, crushing whole schoolyards full of children with one foot.
George Washington would say to you,
“You ARE the problem
We want to think we are the solution, and everyone else is the problem.
But the solutions to America's problems do not begin with others, they begin with you.
The Solution begins with recognizing this embarrassing problem:

You are a Victim of Educational Malpractice

In 1417, the overwhelming majority of children did not go to school. There were no schools for ordinary kids.

In 1517, Martin Luther posted 95 Theses for public debate, and this is thought of as the beginning of "The Protestant Reformation."

The heart of the Protestant Reformation was the Bible. One of the slogans of the Reformation was "Sola Scriptura!" -- Scripture Alone! Popes, bishops, and priests were told "You can no longer make up religion as you go along." The Bible was the blueprint drafted by the Divine Architect, to be followed in detail by Christian workers building The City of God.

By 1617, schools were being formed in Protestant nations. The purpose of schools was to teach the Bible.

Everyone had an obligation to study the Bible, not just the clergy.

This point is critical:

The entire concept of "public schools" (or "common schools") was created by Bible-believing Christians following the Protestant Reformation in order to make sure every citizen  -- not just priests or princes -- could read the Bible.

The creation of schools to foster the widespread knowledge of the Bible changed everything. When the world lifted out of Biblical ignorance, the world was lifted out of poverty. This is referred to as "The Industrial Revolution." But unfortunately, click here for "the rest of the story."asdf

Education, Early American Style

America's Founding Fathers believed that the primary purpose of public schools was to teach religion and morality as found in the Bible. [Find out more.]

One of the first public school laws in America (1647) is known today as "The Old Deluder Satan Act" because it began with these words:

It being one chief project of that old deluder, Satan, to keep men from the knowledge of the Scriptures, as in former times by keeping them in an unknown tongue, so in these latter times by persuading from the use of tongues, that so that at least the true sense and meaning of the original might be clouded and corrupted...; and to the end that learning may not be buried in the grave of our forefathers, in church and commonwealth.... It is therefore ordered that every township in this jurisdiction, after the Lord hath increased them to fifty households shall forthwith appoint one within their town to teach all such children as shall resort to him to write and read, whose wages shall be paid either by the parents or masters of such children, or by the inhabitants in general....
"The Old Deluder Satan Act," Massachusetts, 1647

The 1636 rules of Harvard declared:

Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life (John 17.3) and therefore to lay Christ in the bottom as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let every one seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of Him (Prov. 2, 3). Every one shall so exercise himself in reading the Scriptures twice a day that he shall be ready to give such an account of his proficiency therein

That's our Program. Read the Bible twice a day. Get a Harvard education like Samuel Adams.

The 1690 Connecticut law declared:

This [legislature] observing that... there are many persons unable to read the English tongue and thereby incapable to read the holy Word of God or the good laws of this colony... it is ordered that all parents and masters shall cause their respective children and servants, as they are capable, to be taught to read distinctly the English tongue.

In a non-archist society, parents have freedom to send their children to schools that reflect the religion and morality that parents believe will make their children successful.

Secular Archists have banned the Bible and the religion and morality of Christ from public schools.

No surprise there. The Bible is anti-archist. Christ was and is a threat to "the Establishment."

Secular Archists have even banned everything that even reminds us of our Biblical heritage.

You went to a school where the Declaration of Independence was banned. Not as an archaic, irrelevant historical artifact, but as truth.

The U.S. Federal Government prohibits a school teacher in a government-run school from teaching students that the Declaration of Independence really is true.
  • that there really is a God, and His existence is a "self-evident truth"
  • that our rights really are the product of the intelligent design of our Creator
              (not a gift from the government)
  • that all Americans really are obligated to conform their lives to
              "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God"
  • that one day our actions really must pass judgment with
              "the Supreme Judge of the world"
  • that all Americans should have "a firm reliance on
              the Protection of Divine Providence."
  • that Americans have a duty -- not just a right
              -- to abolish any government
              that becomes a tyranny.
That's what America's Birth Certificate -- the Declaration of Independence -- says.

None of these things can be taught as truth in a school controlled by the government of the United States. They can only be taught as irrelevant historical artifacts from a generation that is supposedly less literate and less reasonable than we are today.

In fact, because the Declaration of Independence ( America's "birth certificate" ) was based on the Bible, the Federal Government prohibits public school teachers from teaching students
that the Declaration of Independence is really true.
(Students can only be taught that a bunch of dead, white males used to believe it was true.)

As a result,

You are a victim of Educational Malpractice.

The United States Federal Government has made it illegal
for local public school teachers to teach children the Bible
the way Jesus and the authors of the Bible would teach it.

There were three things taught in every public school classroom in America when George Washington went to school. All three have been banned by the federal government from today's schools, and from the schools you went to.

You probably spent 17 years of your life in government-approved classrooms, and they were sanitized from the three most important things that would have made you
    •  an extraordinary American
    •  an extraordinary Christian
    •  an extraordinary Human Being
Amazingly, in just one year, our online home study program can duplicate a colonial American public school education in the essential points you were deprived of. (We don't teach "the three R's.")

You have been systematically deprived of the three things that every single person who signed the Constitution would say are a necessary part of a basic American education. These three things are specifically mentioned in America's Organic Law. But you were never taught that America's Organic Law consists of the most fundamental charters of America's government. Now that you know what the "Organic Law" is, you still don't know what fundamental documents it contains. Article III of one of them says this:

Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. The utmost good faith shall always be observed towards the Indians; their lands and property shall never be taken from them without their consent . . . .

The Organic Law of America not only recognizes our dependence on and duty towards God, but specifies where we should learn about our Creator (religion), the rights with which He has endowed us, and our duties toward Him and our fellow man (morality).

Today, our schools and government are "secular" (atheistic) and confiscating property from others without their consent -- armed robbery -- is the heart and soul of our vast "entitlement" social programs. You were cheated out of an education which began with "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not kill."

The Christian Religion and Christian morality were to be taught in public schools.

Even though Justice Douglas concurred in Engel v. Vitale, the case which removed Christianity from public schools in the early 1960's, he was honest enough to admit that

Religion was once deemed to be a function of the public school system.

Justice Douglas then quoted the Article above. Then he proceeded to ignore the law he swore to uphold, and removed "religion and morality" from public schools.

Soon after that, knowledge was removed from public schools, because when some kids have knowledge, that hurts the "self-esteem" of those who don't. Away with grades, away with knowledge! America's youth no longer score #1 on international tests.

The average teenager in 1776 knew more about what it means to be a great American, a great Christian, and a great Human Being than you do. Transport the average teenager from 1776 to our time and that teenager could figure out how to use your iPhone, your TV remote control, and drive your SUV in a matter of days, but it would take you months, maybe years, to learn as much about geography, morality, history, religion, political science, virtue, and develop the habits of character which the average American possessed in 1776. Most of today's Americans under the age of 50 are functionally illiterate.

Reading the Bible is the first step in our year-long program to impose a colonial American education on you. If you already know how to read and write, the Internet now makes it possible for you to experience the same childhood education that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock experienced. Their education made it inevitable that they would abolish the government -- a government which they described as a "tyranny."

In his Farewell Address, Washington reminded the nation:

Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion, and Morality are indispensable supports.—In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. —The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them.—A volume could not trace all their connexions with private and public felicity.—Let it simply be asked where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion.—Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure—reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.—

Religion is a public, not just a private matter. You can't be a good American citizen if you ignore Christianity. Atheism is contrary to reason.

 Sam Adams said,

[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.

His cousin, John Adams, said:

[W]e have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. . . . Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

[I]t is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue.

Sam Adams wrote to his cousin John:

Let divines and philosophers, statesmen and patriots, unite their endeavors to renovate the age, by impressing the minds of men with the importance of educating their little boys and girls, of inculcating in the minds of youth the fear and love of the Deity. . . and, in subordination to these great principles, the love of their country. . . . In short, of leading them in the study and practice of the exalted virtues of the Christian system.

1790 Letter to John Adams,
who wrote back: "You and I agree."
Four Letters: Being an Interesting Correspondence Between Those Eminently Distinguished Characters, John Adams, Late President of the United States; and Samuel Adams, Late Governor of Massachusetts. On the Important Subject of Government
(Boston: Adams and Rhoades, 1802) pp. 9-10

This is exactly what our year-long Coaching Program will do for you. You can compensate for what the federal government denied you as a little boy or girl by enrolling in the year-long program.

 

If any of the writers of the Bible could travel through time,
get acquainted with the last 2,000 years of human history
and talk with you for an hour,

they would say you are Biblically illiterate.

They would say you are a moral barbarian.

Sure, they would be impressed by your car, your microwave oven, and your smartphone -- but only for a short while. If they knew they were going to have to go back in time without any of your technology, they would be more impressed (negatively) by the fact that in the last 50 years, your government has killed, crippled, or made homeless tens of millions of innocent non-combatant civilians around the world to protect the hegemony of U.S. global capitalism, seize natural resources, and pay laborers pennies to work under slave conditions. You, on the other hand, know that by ignoring these facts and keeping silent about them, you get to keep the trinkets.

Jesus Christ was perfectly sinless, and yet He was executed by the government on a cross -- a barbaric and savage method of torturing someone to death. Jesus told His followers to "take up your cross and follow Me" to Death Row. Jesus told His followers not to be like "the kings of the Gentiles," who think they have the right to impose their religion or their "social justice" on others by the sword. Jesus called these kings "archists," and said we are not to be like them, but are to be "servants." If you are not an "archist," and don't believe Rome had a right to invade Israel and put her under military subjugation, then you risk being called an "an-archist" by any government which does not acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Like our government.

Are you ready to be jailed or executed as an "anarchist" because you follow Jesus the pacifist?

This is very controversial rhetoric. But it is also very practical.

What kind of human being are you if you don't react with horror at the prospect of millions of innocent human beings being killed, crippled, or made homeless by "your" government? If you think mass murder -- e.g., the intentional destruction of pure water to foment epidemics of disease, and the killing of a greater number of Iraqi children than the total number of people killed by the atomic bombing of Japan -- is morally acceptable behavior, will that change the way you as a parent treat your own children, or the way you as a teacher treat your students, or the way you as an employer treat your employees?

It affects us all. It turns out our entire society is dominated by the myth that "anarchists" are "the bad guys." Logically, that means "archists" are the good guys, which is exactly the opposite of what Jesus said.

Are you an Archist?

You are an "archist" if
 • you initiate force against your neighbor
 • or threaten your neighbor with violence and harm
 • in order to compel your neighbor to think or to do
 • what you think your neighbor ought to think or do.

You are also an "archist" if you "vote" for "The Candidate"
 • who promises to initiate force against your neighbor
 • in order to compel your neighbor to think or to do
 • what you think your neighbor ought to think or do.
"The Candidate" is also an "archist."

The initiation of "force" includes:
 • a threat to do harm or violence,
 • a threat to infringe on the other person's
     • life,
     • health,
     • wealth,
     • liberty,
 • or obstruct the other person's pursuit of happiness.

The myth that archists are the good guys pervades every area of our lives.

And most of us end up thinking, If "they" can use force to accomplish their public goals, why can't I use force to accomplish my private goals?

It isn't just "criminals" who think that way. "White-collar" criminals think the same way. Voters think the same way. Breaking that myth ("anarchists = bad; archists = good") will transform you, no matter who you are, or what you do in life:

A Christian Anarchist is a: An Archist is a:
husband/protector wife-beater
job-creator boss
civic leader tyrant
rescuer invader
teacher
classmate bully
pastor abuser
personal coach drill sergeant
evangelist terrorist

We have all been infected -- to one degree or another -- by the idea that it's OK to impose our will on others by force. You paid $10,000 for each member of your family to destroy the largest Christian community in the Arab World and convert it into an Islamic theocracy under Shariah Law. How would your life have been improved if you rejected the lies of archists in Washington D.C. and spent that money elsewhere?

For Candidates and Politicians, Bureaucrats and Tyrants, the "initiation of force" usually takes the form of

This is what "archists" do.

And ordinary people like you and me approve of this violence -- as long as it is applied to people we disagree with.

An "archist" is someone who believes he has a right to
impose his will on others by force.

Becoming a Christian Anarchist was the best decision I ever made, even though it cost me my career.

If you follow my program you will experience the most profound, lasting, and beneficial personal transformation of your entire life.

Or I will DOUBLE your money back.

Seeing through the anti-pacifist, anti-anarchist propaganda of the government-controlled media will transform every area of your life. You will be amazed.

Some people say that teaching the Bible in public schools violates "the separation of church and state." But God doesn't believe in "the separation of church and state."  The Christian anarchist believes in "the abolition of church and state."

Most human beings on planet earth live their lives as "anarchists." They work hard, but they don't plunder others. The produce something other people want, and the freely and voluntarily exchange the fruits of their labor for the fruits of other peoples labor. They make a living as "Economic Man," serving others, not as "Political Man," taxing others. Trillions of dollars a day are produced through human creativity and hard work, and producers trade with each other. This is the source of human wealth, and is a much, much larger amount than governments seize and redistribute in the name of "social justice."

The Protestant Reformation put the Bible in every classroom, and this resulted in an explosion of economic productivity for future generations. Humanity is being lifted out of poverty. But this progress could be temporarily short-circuited. The Protestant Reformation is unfinished. "Semper Reformanda" was another slogan of the Protestant Reformation: "The Church must always be reforming according to the Word of God." The "Invisible Hand" of economic growth has been accompanied by "The Iron Fist" of archism. Deuteronomy 8 spells out a paradox: Obedience to the Bible brings economic prosperity, but prosperity brings the temptation to think we are our own god, and success is the result of our own hand. This is "secularism." And it brings God's Judgment in the form of poverty, sometimes through war. We see this throughout the Bible: God's people obey God, and God blesses them, but then they forget God, so God curses them. Entire books of the Bible are filled with this cycle. Some people today believe the world is about to be plunged into a new "Dark Ages." Whether that prediction is accurate or not, you have a moral obligation to study the Bible, and to learn "Religion, Morality, and Knowledge" of how the world works under the "Invisible Hand of Divine Providence."


OK Kevin, I'm willing to give you a try.
I understand I can schedule my first coaching call
at no cost and no obligation.
I'll pay you when I'm satisfied you've earned it.


Answer #4: If you don't know why you should pay for value, then sign up for FREE and learn this basic life lesson.

A brilliant historian and sociologist name Franz Oppenheimer said that throughout history there have been two kinds of human beings.

Jesus said “The laborer is worthy of his hire” (Luke 10:7; 1 Timothy 5:18).  But in our day, we all want "something for nothing." We vote for government programs which will transfer the wealth of the rich and famous to ourselves, not realizing that the politicians skim most of the wealth for themselves, and pass on pennies to us.

You are richer than 99% of all human beings who have ever walked the earth. But you don't know about The Book that made this wealth possible.

You are a better human being if you exchange something of value when you receive value. A lot of labor has gone into this program, but that doesn't necessarily make it valuable. I don't want you to give me your money unless you see its value. And if you won't see its value until after you consume it, then you can pay me at that point.

Let's get on the phone together and start working. When you complete this program, you'll realize you can't get "something for nothing." Don't pay for the program until I help you learn this lesson.

If talking on the phone makes you nervous, just drop an email. I'll add you to the mailing list. You can start today. Unsubscribe any time. Use this form:





My time is valuable. Members of our coaching community value the quality of our interaction. We appreciate those who appreciate the value of this program. If you sign up for the "free" version, you can be a "fly on the wall" for 30 days. If you complete the assignments for the first 30 days, we can talk about whether you should continue. We never turn away anyone who really wants to be coached, if lack of funds is the only thing holding them back.

Go Back to the Top and Read from the Beginning


Q. What makes you qualified to be a "Bible Coach?"

Answer #5:

I will help you ask questions about the Bible that your church, your school, and your government don't want you to ask.
These are the very same questions that God (the Author of the Bible) and the human penmen who wrote the Words of God in the Bible would want you to ask about the Bible.

I'm not a prophet or guru. This isn't psychotherapy. I'm the teacher in a one-room school house in 1776. I had never heard of the term "Bible Coach" before I made it up. I registered this domain in January of 2006. There's one or two other people on the Internet who describe themselves as a "Bible Coach." Anybody could be your "Bible Coach." You could ask a homeless wino to show up on your doorstep every morning and remind you to read your Bible and you would be better off than you are with no coach at all. You will be a "Bible Coach" when you finish this program. You wasted 12 years of your life in atheistic schools without learning diddly about the Bible, the most important book in the history of the human race. We need to correct that. Let's get started.

You should hire somebody -- anybody -- to encourage you and hold you accountable to a curriculum which will transform you into

  • An Extraordinary American,
  
• An Extraordinary Christian,
  • An Extraordinary Human Being
.

This course will do that. Guaranteed.

Here are two verses which highlight the best features of this program. First, the Bible talks about Christians in the city of Berea, and how they responded to the teachings of the Apostles:

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the Word with all readiness of the mind,
searching the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
Acts 17:10-12

This is a key to your success -- meaningful contact with God's Word every day to see if what you've been taught in the mainstream media and atheistic schools is really true. (It's not.)

You can do that on your own, of course, but then you'll miss this feature:

Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other.
Proverbs 27:17

You're not going to agree with everything I say about the Bible, Christian doctrine, law, economics, and history, but I will show you my sources and challenge you to re-think what you've always heard. By the end of the program, you'll see things like you've never seen them before, even if you still don't agree with everything I believe. My "iron" will "sharpen" your mind.

"The first to state his case seems right until another comes forward and examines him."
Proverbs 18:17

You have a lot of views that you picked up in government-run schools that have never been "cross-examined" by the Bible. I always try to be courteous and respectful toward those who disagree with me. I probably used to think about the Bible the same way you do now. You'll either say I'm "patient" or "relentless." I'm committed to giving you the same Bible-based worldview education that made Americans so prosperous and admired a couple of centuries ago.

About Kevin Craig - Personal History

Christian Reconstructionism

Before I graduated from high school, I had come in contact with R.J. Rushdoony [Google], founder of the "Christian Reconstruction" movement. Soon thereafter, I wanted to be "the next Rushdoony" when I grew up. Some would say neither one has happened yet. I became a "Chalcedon Scholar" and wrote a regular column for The Chalcedon Report. I substituted on occasion for Rev. Rushdoony in the pulpit which he regularly occupied and from which he first delivered the contents of his magnum opus, The Institutes of Biblical Law. I was an overnight guest at his home. David Chilton and I met regularly with Rushdoony for mentoring. The Institute for Christian Economics (Gary North) also published several of my articles. North described this article as "dynamite."

Rushdoony was influential in starting the "scientific creationism" movement, by getting a book called The Genesis Flood published. Becoming a creationist was for me the first of many radicalizing departures from the status quo. My first article published by Chalcedon was on the creationist issue.

One of Rushdoony's protιgιs was Greg Bahnsen, who wrote the book Theonomy in Christian Ethics (1977). "Theonomy" comes from two Greek words meaning "God's Law." The alternative is man's law, or autonomy.

Vine & Fig Tree 

I graduated from USC with a degree in political science in 1979. Because of the negative things Rushdoony said about secular universities, I did not want to go to college, hoping to move more directly to a Rushdoony-like career, but my father (a USC alumnus) was insistent. Perhaps the most enjoyable class I had was a class on "Political Philosophy" with John Hospers, who had been the Chairman of the Philosophy Department until he ran for President as the Libertarian Party candidate in 1972. Hospers could be described as a "minarchist." He believed society needed a small civil government. One of his recommended textbooks was Murray Rothbard's For A New Liberty. This was a breathtaking book in the mid-1970's. Rothbard argued that society needed no "civil government" whatsoever. I didn't think Hospers defended his minimal state against Rothbard's critique. My memory of chronology fails me, but if I was not an anarchist walking into Hospers' class, I was when I walked out.

I am Not an Archist.

Beginning around 1978 I began writing for an organization I envisioned called Vine & Fig Tree, which obtained tax-exempt status from the IRS as a non-profit corporation in 1982. The name comes from the Old Testament Prophet Micah, who spoke of a day when we beat our "swords into plowshares" and everyone dwells securely under his own vine and fig tree. More Info. I received positive encouragement on this venture from Dorothy Rushdoony, and on the trip back home from Vallecito, I think I realized that my future was not with Chalcedon, but rather with Vine & Fig Tree. My "swords into plowshares" pacifism, combined with a rejection of capital punishment (on strictly "Theonomic" grounds), seemed to me to be the logical development of Rushdoony's thinking, but ran contrary to the prevailing views of the "Christian Reconstructionist" mainstream.

School Teacher

My mother taught in California public schools for 30 years. The first job I had after graduating from college was teaching in a small Christian school. Part of our ministry to the homeless was teaching English as a second language to dozens of "illegal" immigrants. One of my housemates went on to teach in public schools, and I spent many hours helping her with bureaucratic administrative paper work.

Legal Education

Rushdoony was a proponent of Christian education, frequently appearing as an expert witness in Christian school cases vs. the increasingly-secular government. I worked with homeschoolers and studied law to help defend them in court. This was when homeschooling was illegal in California. By the time I passed the California Bar Exam, it was less persecuted. But then I was told by a Federal District Court in Los Angeles that because my allegiance to God was greater than my allegiance to the State, I could not be permitted to take the oath to "support the Constitution" required of all would-be attorneys, so I could not get a license to practice law. Details

"Seminary"

I shared the pulpit at a small church in Anaheim, CA with David Chilton, until he joined Gary North, James B. Jordan and the "Christian Reconstructionists" in Tyler, TX. Greg L. Bahnsen, one of the leaders of the "Christian Reconstruction" movement and a pastor in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, wanted to see if he could get me ordained in the OPC by apprenticing me, rather than through the modern "seminary" system. I thought that was quixotic, but I enjoyed his one-on-one mentoring. Bahnsen was a Christian scholar with integrity and a sharp mind. Scholarship is a virtue. Bahnsen taught me that we should treat our intellectual opponents with Biblical love (1 Corinthians 13:5-7), and interact with their arguments with respect.

Social Work

After passing the Bar Exam, I spent the better part of a decade with a small group of Christian anarchists who rented a large house in the "wrong" part of town and opened its doors to those who were homeless and wanted to get clean and sober, find a job, and save up first- and last-month's rent for a place of their own. We gave shelter and encouragement to over 1,000 people during the time I lived there, with an average of about 19 people at a time sharing our home, and served tens of thousands of meals and passed out thousands of bags of groceries to the poor in our neighborhood. We held weekly candlelight vigils in front of the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station to question militarism and violence.

Our house was called "Isaiah House," and took its inspiration from Peter Maurin, a man who thought a great deal like Rushdoony. Maurin was a decisive influence in the life of Dorothy Day, a socialist agitator in the New Deal era, who converted to Christianity and founded the Catholic Worker movement, largely perceived today as a "left-wing" movement. Maurin said, "I am a radical of the right. I go right to the right because I know it is the only way not to get left." Maurin advised, "Read Our Enemy the State by Albert Jay Nock."

I moved in with these Catholic Anarchists because I saw in their kitchen and dining room the closest thing I'd seen to the L'Abri fellowship under Francis and Edith Schaeffer, a family setting I greatly admired and to which I aspired. The closest I came to the Schaeffers was seeing Francis Schaeffer live at the Anaheim Convention Center in 1977 when he was on tour promoting his book and film, How Should We Then Live.

Hospice

When my father got lung cancer, I left the Catholic Worker and helped him gulp down 70 pills a day and daily pumped into his heart two liters of an anti-cancer solution under an FDA clinical trial in Houston, TX. After his death I moved my mother back to Missouri (where she was born), and our house was destroyed by a tornado. After being taken by helicopter to the hospital, she came back to my care on a feeding tube. For six years she was immobile, and for the last three years of her life my full-time job was turning her over in bed every three hours to avoid bed sores. She died a few hours before 2015 began.

2016 and Beyond

During all of the above, I have been researching and writing, preparing to advance the Vine & Fig Tree vision, and have produced in the neighborhood of 2,000 webpages and blog posts. Some of them have been copied on other sites by people I don't think I've even met.

I have also been a candidate for U.S. Congress, both before and after I moved to Missouri. I haven't been able to get out of the house to do much campaigning recently, but I've still managed to be the top vote-getter among Libertarian Party Congressional candidates in Missouri for the last few elections.

My personal library is over 10,000 volumes, including an average of ten commentaries for every book of the Bible. But in the age of the Internet, libraries can be like a museum. I love researching answers to my clients' questions. Become one now.

Answer #1: The Bible is the most important book in the history of the human race

This is true even if you don't believe that it is the very Word of God, but just a human document.

  • No other book has inspired the building of more hospitals, schools, universities, or orphanages.
  • No other book has inspired more lasting works of art.
  • No other book has raised the standard of living of more people.
  • No other book explains the origin of reason and why humans are more glorious than animals.
  • No other book has influenced more codes of law in more Western nations.
  • No other book from any other world religion (Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam) even makes the claim that its every word was breathed out by a personal God (who is not Himself part of the Creation), through human instruments He created to perfectly write the words God intended them to write for our benefit.
  • No other book has made a greater contribution to the building of "Western Civilization."
  • No other book has inspired more symphonies, oratorios, cantatas, or other enduring musical works.
  • No other book has brought more liberty, prosperity, and virtue to the world.
  • No other book can make you more fully, truly human.
  • No other book has been banned by more tyrannical governments.
  • No other book has caused more of its most faithful readers to be arrested and executed.
    Like Jesus.
  • Maybe that's why we shouldn't be surprised that . . .
  • The U.S. government banned the Bible from your public school education.
    You should ask yourself why the government would do this.
    I mean the real reason why.

What are the benefits of studying and applying the Bible?

The Marketing Department has told me to

"Lead with benefits! Consumers love benefits like:

• Lose 30 pounds in 30 days overnight!
• Turn your website into an ATM machine!
• Find another totally unique soul mate!
• 'Manifest' a seven-figure income!
• Travel around the world
• Expensive cars, big houses, fast boats!
• Never work again!"

I told The Marketing Dept. that nobody who comes to a website like this would fall for any of that.

Quite the contrary, by becoming a follower of Christ the executed anarchist, you may lose everything. In our day the "Bill of Rights" means nothing. You may become the object of government surveillance. The FBI or other government intelligence agencies may open a dossier on you and members of your family. Your participation and public affiliation with an "anarchist" website may lead to IRS harassment in the form of an audit or other legal inconveniences. You may be deemed an "enemy combatant." If your job required you to take an oath or sign a statement indicating your support of the U.S. Constitution, you may lose your job because you visit "anarchist" websites. Your house or place of business may be searched and your assets "forfeited." You may become targeted for assassination by one of 30,000 drones over U.S. skies. We cannot be responsible for these eventualities. You have to make the decision: will you be approved by the government, or will you be approved by God?

Nevertheless,

The Bible promises that if you meditate on God's Commandments (the basis for the anarchist character traits you will be gaining in our program) you will prosper:

Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:7-8

Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
Deuteronomy 29:9

And keep the charge of the LORD your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;
1 Kings 2:3

But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
         And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
         Planted by the rivers of water,
         That brings forth its fruit in its season,
         Whose leaf also shall not wither;
         And
whatever he does shall prosper.
Psalm 1:2-4

As we'll see below, Jesus requires His followers to be "extremists." America is a unique "laboratory experiment" that proves the benefits of Christian Anarchism. Imagine a political spectrum with "Christian Anarchism" on one extreme:

  • As America moved toward the side of "Christian Anarchism," America grew more prosperous and more admired around the world.
  • As America moved away from "Christian Anarchism" toward the side of Secular Fascism and Atheistic Communism, America has become bankrupt and despised.

Just like America, you may become prosperous and admired as employers, clients, or others see your non-archist character. Conversely, just like America, you may become bankrupt and despised as you become less anarchist and more like the Gentile archists (Mark 10:42-45).
 

Extreme Middle of the Road Extreme
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Anarchism Apathy Archism, Tyranny
Theocracy:  "Liberty Under God" Lukewarm Atheism
Love Indifference Hate

Do you want to be a Grade "A" Christian?
Then you had better avoid being a Grade "Z" Christian with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.

 
The Bible also promises benefits for those who engage in "iron-sharpening":

Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other.
Proverbs 27:17

Even if you don't become a Christian Anarchist, going through our program will be a mind-expanding, mind-sharpening discipline.

There is further benefit in the daily study of the Bible.

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the Word with all readiness of the mind,
searching the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.

Acts 17:10-12

George Washington, who struggled with archism, yearned for liberty and studied the Bible an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening.

A final benefit: Jesus will not vomit you out of His mouth if you become an anarchist and repudiate the imposing of your will on others by force. Jesus said we must be "extremists." There is no "moderate" or "neutrality" on this issue.

"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. {16} So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."
Revelation 3:15-16

14 “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD
16 So the people answered and said: “Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods;
Joshua 24:14-16 

Mark 12
28 One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that He answered them well, he asked Him, "Which commandment is the first of all?"
29 Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one;
30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
31
The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
32 Then the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that 'He is one, and besides Him there is no other';
33 and 'to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength,' and 'to love one's neighbor as oneself,' -- this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that no one dared to ask Him any question.


What Is the Bible All About?

1. The Universe was created by a loving, personal God

not a meaningless impersonal random accident, as the evolutionists teach. Life has meaning and purpose. Life is good. The word “good” has meaning.

2. You and I were created in the Image of God

not in the image of monkeys or primordial sludge, an idea that has led to genocide and mass murder.

3. Our purpose in life is not to maximize our own pleasure, but to be of service to others, and give thanks to God

and enjoy the blessings God promises for obedience; but not to pursue those blessings apart from worship of God and service to others. Abraham is our Model.

4. "Love your enemies," and "forgive 70 x 7"

not seek vengeance. A world where people are patient and forgiving is better than a world of retaliation. The amount of money you lose to robbers is less than the amount you pay in taxes to avoid being robbed.

5. Beat your "swords into plowshares" so everyone can dwell securely under his own Vine & Fig Tree.

According to America's Founders, this was the original "American Dream." Even they only saw the tip of the iceberg.

6. "Peace on Earth"

This was the announcement by the angels to the shepherds at the first Christmas. Nobody in first century Palestine could have imagined that the earth would someday have billions of human beings claiming to be Christians. Prior to the birth of Christ, a large fraction of human beings died violent deaths. The Coming of Christ changed the world. Today, most people enjoy peace. (Despite the blood-thirsty slant of the mainstream secular media.) The Bible has transformed a "primitive" and violent world into civilization as we know it.

7. The Bible is an Anarchist Manifesto

I thought that might get your attention! There are over 30,000 verses in the Bible. Most church-goers only know a handful. What are all those other verses about? Atheists will tell you they are about violence, war, and slavery. Atheists will tell you the Bible condones all those things. There is definitely a lot of violence, war, and slavery in the Bible, but it is the exact opposite of the truth to say the Bible supports these things. (Amazing how people who are "educated" get the Bible completely backwards.)

Jesus said "the kings of the gentiles" love to be "archists" (Mark 10:42-45). We looked at that above. An "archist" is a person who believes he has the right to impose his own will on others by "the sword" -- by force or threats of violence. Politics is archism, and politics dominates our lives. Every area of life is affected by politics, which is essentially the idolatrous view that it is better to be governed by human archists than by the God of the Bible, the Cosmic -- and only legitimate -- Archist. Political Man approaches all of life with the view that you are your own god. Your relationship with your wife, your kids, your co-workers or employees, are all negatively affected by your belief that the Bible supports archism. That mistaken belief allows you to mistreat people (sadism), or makes you think that you deserve to be mistreated (masochism). Archists tortured Jesus to death, as a lamb led to the slaughter. Jesus is the Lamb of God who paid for our sins. You do not have to make other people pay for their sins (sadism), or pay for your own sins by allowing others to mistreat you (masochism).

The Bible says archists need to repent. Jesus said His followers are not archists who rule over others, but servants, who raise the standard of living of others.

Civilization requires civilized people. Civilized people are those who obey the commands of Jesus the Christ. Civilized people are not the people who carry out the commands of the false gods of Empire.

This is the whole message of the Bible, from cover to cover. Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to love God -- not the false gods of empire -- and to love your neighbor -- not to rule over your neighbor, not to impose your own will on your neighbor by force and threats of violence.

Thinking of the Bible as a model of service and an "Anarchist Manifesto" is what philosophers call a "paradigm shift." You've been brainwashed with the idea that the Bible supports archists. You've been trained to instinctively react when the powers that be call someone an "anarchist." Jesus wants you to read the Bible, and shift your understanding 180°. Stop waving flags for archists. Become a servant instead.  The Bible is an Anarchist Manifesto. The Bible teaches us How To Become a Christian Anarchist. Remember those Three Very, Very Important Bible Verses

8. Study the Bible and remind yourself of these truths every single day.

Great men -- like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington -- read the Bible for an hour each day. Great Nations -- like America -- taught the Bible every day in every classroom in the country. And you're going to settle for a 20-minute "sermon" once a week? An oration from the pulpit with ten minutes of human puffery for every one minute of God's Word? You need to enroll in a daily program of Bible study if you want to be

  • An Extraordinary American,
 
• An Extraordinary Christian,
  • An Extraordinary Human Being
.

(These were the three goals of Samuel Adams, "Father of the American Revolution")

Answer #2: What is a "Coach?"

A "Coach" will help you keep going and stay on track.
Almost anyone can function as a coach. You don't need a guru, expert, priest, Ph.D., or government official to help you.
Any ordinary, sensible, rational, good-hearted person can be your coach and hold you accountable.
Some people were blessed as children to have parents who coached them through the Bible. Parents are the greatest source of uncompensated labor on the planet.
The rest of us have to hire someone to compensate them for their time.
Get someone to be Your Bible Coach.

Q. What is a "Bible Coach?"
A. If you wanted to become a professional tennis player, the first thing you would do is hire a Tennis Coach. If you want to be skilled with the Bible and become "perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works," then you need to hire a Bible Coach. More.

Q. Why do I need a Bible Coach? I listen to a sermon at church once a week.
A. What's a "sermon?" Those Christians who met in homes in New Testament times would not recognize most of what is going on in the average "church" today. You don't know the Bible as well as the average 15-year old in colonial America, who studied the Bible every day in public school. Public schools were created in America over 300 years ago to make sure everyone in town could read the Bible. But the government banned the Bible from public schools in the 1960's. As a result, you are a victim of educational malpractice. One or two hours of entertainment on Sunday cannot counter 9am-3pm secular brainwashing for 12 formative years of your life.

As Your Bible Coach, I guarantee that my program will give you a much greater affection for the Bible and you'll be more confident than ever that the Bible is the Word of God.

Your church does not want you to hire a "Bible Coach" who can help you understand and apply the Bible. It was the religious leaders of Jesus' day who wanted Jesus assassinated. The pagan Roman Empire saw no reason to punish Him.

John 18
38 Pilate went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him39 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.

If you earn an average American salary and tithe to your church (does anybody still tithe in America?), then you are paying $100.00 a week to go to church. Are you getting your money's worth? By relegating your Christian life to one hour a week, are you obeying all the commands of our Lord, like these:

We're not saying you should stop attending your church. We're saying this program will equip you to be a more powerful servant of others at any church that will allow you to continue attending.

Your family needs you to hire a "Bible Coach" who can help you understand and apply the Bible.

The family is the most important institution in society. You should treat your wife the way Christ treats the church, and raise your children to be like Abraham. The Bible is a blueprint for your family.

Ephesians 5:25-33
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Ephesians 6:4
And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

The same government that banned the Bible from your public school also promotes "the sexual revolution." That "revolution" has left heartbreak in its trail. Consider these 12 victims of the "sexual revolution."

Is this what you were told?
  • No person who experiences same sex attraction has ever changed their behavior in any significant way.
  • Anyone who says otherwise is either deluded or lying.

12. People With Health Problems Due to Hook-Ups, Abortion, or Contraception

  • There are no health risks associated with casual sex, if you use a condom every time.
  • There are no health risks associated with abortion.
  • “Legal abortion” always means “safe abortion.” • Contraception does not have health risks.

As you read down the list of the Victims of the Sexual Revolution, keep these questions in mind:

  • Was I a victim of injustice?
  • Did I make decisions based on faulty information?
  • Are people I love being harmed by misinformation?
  • Are people I love being harmed by their own misbehavior or someone else’s?

The Bible gives us a blueprint for healthy family relationships, which is the foundation for a healthy society.
The "Sexual Revolution" is a blueprint for short-sighted selfishness, and is destroying civilized society.

Your neighbors need you to hire a "Bible Coach" who can help you understand and apply the Bible.

Do your neighbors know that you're a Christian? Is your home a "city upon a hill" and a light to the neighborhood?

Luke 10:27-36
27 So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.”
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”

Your co-workers or employees need you to hire a "Bible Coach" who can help you understand and apply the Bible.

It is businesses, not governments, that raise the standard of living. Businesses, not governments, bring order to our lives -- if they are influenced by the Bible -- by rewarding punctuality, the "Protestant Work Ethic," courtesy, honesty, and many other Godly character traits, day-in, day-out. Human beings were created in the Image of God and given authority to "exercise dominion" by "doing business" -- not to dominate others by acting like the kings of the Gentiles. When we serve by working in a business -- rather than rule by taxing and threatening violence -- we have a peaceful and prosperous society.

But businesses that are not run according to the Bible are run by capitalists who want to be their own god.

Leviticus 19:13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

Deuteronomy 5:14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. [The Sabbath in American history]

Deuteronomy 24:14-15 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates: 15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the Lord, and it be sin unto thee.

Proverbs 29:21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

Jeremiah 22:13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.

Luke 10:7  the labourer is worthy of his hire.

Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

Colossians 4:1 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

1 Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

James 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

America was based on the Bible.
America became the most prosperous and admired nation in history.
When America turned her back on the Bible,
the United States became bankrupt and despised even by our former admirers.
America's Founders appealed to "The Supreme Judge of the World."
Thomas Jefferson said,
       “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just,
              that His justice cannot sleep forever.”
Isaiah 60:12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve Thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Jeremiah 5:29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Jeremiah 18:6-10 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. 7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

Your world needs you to understand and apply the Bible.

Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Habakkuk 2:14
For the earth will be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
As the waters cover the sea.

As we mentioned above, in the last 50 years, the United States federal government has killed, crippled, or made homeless tens of millions of innocent non-combatant civilians around the world to protect its global reach.
• A million or more in Vietnam. Nearly a million in Cambodia and over half a million in Laos.
• A million killed in the "war on terror."
• More wars than most Americans want to think about.
• Every one of the wars of the U.S. have been immoral and unjust.
Plus a war on God and morality.
Spreading atheistic tentacles around the world, promoting abortion and homosexuality.
You've never really thought about it, but the United States is the most evil and dangerous entity on the planet. Sure, the government of North Korea might possibly be more evil than the U.S., but not more dangerous. Not more lethal.

But what can one person like you do against an Global Evil Empire?

  • A small butterfly flapping its wings in China can set in motion a sequence of atmospheric events that results in a hurricane in Florida.
  • You are only separated by 5 people from the most ruthless dictator in the world. I plant the seeds of a Biblical world-and-life view in your heart,
    1. you tell a friend, who knows and tells
    2. a friend, who knows and tells
    3. a friend, who knows and tells
    4. a friend, who knows and tells
    5. a friend, who knows and tells
    6. Kim Jong-un, Supreme Leader of North Korea, and nuclear war is averted.

You can learn how to be a part of a global movement to heal our world. It begins by your growing to understand the Bible at least as well as teenagers in colonial America.

How does this coaching program work?

My Coaching Program provides the three things you need that you're not getting once a week at church.

  1. A Curriculum
  2. A Coach
  3. A Community

1. A Curriculum

Once you enroll, you will receive a daily email with the daily assignment, or log in to the online members area. Read the assigned texts (on screen or buy the books), or download the audio files and listen as you drive to and from work, or as you exercise, or do mundane tasks around the house. In one year (365 days) we duplicate the Biblical Worldview Curriculum that American public schools students received in 1776 and before.

In just 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes in the evening, or any way you want to schedule it, after 365 days you will have read through the Bible and four other works that have been among the most important works in the history of America and western civilization. You will experience the most profound, beneficial, massive, and lasting personal transformation of your entire life.

2. A Coach

At the end of the week you'll get on the phone or Skype with Your Bible Coach and get some laser coaching about the issues that concern you, whether it be your understanding of the reading assignments or how to apply them in your life. There are often additional coaching sessions during the week as well. Accountability and encouragement accelerate your Christian growth.

3. A Community

Our password-protected online Members' Area consists of people like you who want to understand and apply the Bible. No trouble-makers, no goofy interpretations, no "hidden secrets," no "numerological codes," no wacky conspiracy theories -- just good-natured encouragement and practical advice from people who are dedicated to becoming "perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works," You'll make friends for life. Arrange family vacations. Make joint-venture business arrangements. "Where two or three are gathered" (Matthew 18:20) works online and off.


How Much Does This Coaching Program Cost?

It's free if you follow the assignments. One of the assignments is to become a mentor to others. I will pay you a 60% commission when you enroll someone at your work or at your church. Enroll two and your coaching program is paid for in full. Enroll more and start making some extra money.

Otherwise, I charge you minimum wage. Paying your coach (and not muzzling him) is part of Christian maturity and responsibility. You get more out of the program if you're invested in it.

You can start today for free, with no financial obligation. You pay when you step up to that level, or when you deem your coach to be "worthy of his hire." There are over 100 links on this page. Many are to Bible verses, but the rest are mostly pages I've written. They link to over 2,000 other pages I've written. They're all free. By enrolling in this paid program, you get the curriculum systematically delivered in bite-sized chunks, with laser coaching and all your questions answered. It's time to invest in your sanctification and get serious.

There is a money-back guarantee. There is no risk to you.  

a. At any time you can ask for your money back, and I'll promptly and quietly refund 100% of your tuition without calling you a "lukewarm" "backsliding" "apostate."

Q. You mean I have nothing to lose by enrolling?
A. You have nothing to lose by enrolling (but I might call you a "lukewarm" "backsliding" "apostate" if you don't. :D )
If you don't enroll, I guarantee you will lose the most profound, beneficial, massive, and lasting personal transformation of your entire life.

b. Double Your Money Back Guarantee
If you complete the entire one-year (365-day) program, and if you complete all the assignments (which you and I will agree upon beforehand), and if you don't agree you have experienced the most profound, beneficial, massive, and lasting personal transformation of your entire life, I will double your money back.

Q. How is that possible?
A. This program is sponsored by a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that raises tax-deductible donations to plant seeds in the minds of people like you. Even if you ask for your money back, we will have planted seeds in your mind. Someday you'll be back. Maybe you'll refer your friends. (Our affiliate program will pay you handsomely to refer more paying clients to us.)

Problems That Can Be Solved Through Personal Coaching
Taken from various coaching websites around the web

  1. Anxiety and phobias.
  2. Relationship problems, and problems of connecting with people in general: feeling socially inept and insecure, inability to express and share thoughts and feelings, extreme shyness.; lack of assertiveness, over-adaptation
  3. Depression: deep grief or despair; loneliness, abandonment isolation.
  4. Psychosomatic complaints not responding to medical care.

The next most common other motives are:

  1. Sexual problems.
  2. Addictions.
  3. Obesity and eating disorders.
  4. Being stuck or blocked: seeing no way out, feeling imprisoned, impotent rage.
  5. Loss of direction: Where to go? What to do? What is the meaning of life? Discovering the life plan.
  6. Inability to change: though understanding what the problem is and what should be done, nothing changes.
  7. Exploration: discovering and freeing hidden talents, personal development, increasing mental health.
These problems were not as widespread 200 years ago as they are today. Back then, people developed a Biblical worldview when they were young. They knew that they were put on earth to serve others. The whole of their lives was animated by Biblical purpose and enthusiasm. Children skipped "adolescence" entirely and became productive and fulfilled adults.

What kind of problems would you have to seek out a life coach? You would be stuck in some transition in your life and be unable to move past it. You might hate your job, and know what you want to do, but not be able to take the steps to get there. You might want to start your own business, go back to school, write that novel, start a relationship, end a relationship, or be going into retirement and not know how to handle the rest of your life.

Bangalore-based coach Sujit Sumitran says the issues could range from anger and stress management, interpersonal issues, a failed relationship, a stagnant career, work-life balance to relocation problems. Often people come for career advice and end up addressing other issues. Hollywood celeb Jennifer Aniston recently hired a life coach to help her find time for a baby. It's not surprising that life coaches partly attribute the increased demand for their services to the breakdown of the joint family system. The coach is now taking the place of the mother, father or some other elder, who gave counsel through life's decisions and conflicts.

Personal coaching is ideal for individuals who are making a transition, struggling with a career decision or relationship issue or seeking more balance and personal fulfillment. Personal coaching can help individuals make effective decisions, improve interpersonal communication skills, and cope successfully with change.

Professionals who desire more from their career

Coaching is not kind of psychological or psychiatric therapy. It is for mentally healthy people who just have difficulties in their lives and are trying to create satisfying life. This process is for people who want to be on higher level of their personal development. What kind of problems are tackled during coaching sessions? There are 3 kinds of coaching: life coaching, business coaching and team coaching. In area of life coaching are all themes concerning private life: relations with a partner, friends, children and parents. Business coaching concerns matters of work: relationships boss – employee, workers, professional career and dilemmas about career. However team coaching helps to create positive team bonds in companies. People have a coach often when they want to:

  • become better parent, wife, husband, daughter, son, boss, worker

Top 5 Benefits of Hiring a Life Coach
  1. Feel better – To feel lighter, more relaxed, more confident, more authentic, more focused, more energized, etc. Hiring a life coach can be like hitting a reset button on your life. It’s an opportunity to start fresh. It is time set aside just for you … and to focus on you. It’s a chance to be self-full (not selfish). To spend time talking about what you REALLY want and what is truly important to you. Once you start to think about and focus on what you REALLY want, you naturally start to manifest it in your life.
  2. Create balance – You will move beyond going through the motions and only doing what you ‘have to’. You will start doing more of what you really want to. When you work with a good life coach you will find and create balance in your life as you spend time talking about your deep truths, your authentic desires and build a plan to get there. You will be taking regular time to give to yourself. This in itself creates balance. As you work on your personal development you are building your relationship with YOU. Our relationship to ourselves is the most important relationship we have. It directly impacts all other relationships in our life.
  3. Gain focus and clarity - With a good life coach you will start to get clear on what is a priority for you and how to stay focused on that. You will also get really clear and honest about where you are right now – how far off are you from where you really want to be? What is keeping you stuck? Your life coach will support you to make concrete goals and a clear vision of where you are headed. He will keep you on track and support you to get there. He will listen to you as you have never been listened to before. She will see you and hear you fully as your Authentic Self.
  4. Make wiser decisions – Once you hire a good life coach you start learning to trust your inner wisdom and intuition. You will actually start to think differently! It is as if you retrain your brain to appreciate the good and find the positive in your life. This allows you to look for solutions not problems. You will learn new ways to think and perceive your life and relationships. You will gain a wider perspective. You will receive unbiased, non-judgmental support and guidance. You will learn to stop Self Sabotage, self doubt and overcome restrictive beliefs.
  5. Get an action plan! – You will leave each session with inspired actions to take before your next session. You will get ideas and a plan to start creating what you want in you life. You must start doing something different to get different results. If you keep doing what you are doing you will get more of the same.

Why Hire a Life Coach? | Stretch Beyond Stuck Sanctuary


The best way to learn is to teach.

The best way to be healed is to empty yourself for the sick.

We require each of our clients to mentor at least two people during our year-long coaching program. You encourage someone who is going through the same materials you have already completed. This is a requirement of every mature Christian.

We do not believe it is necessary for anyone to be a "professional" in order to help bring about extraordinary personal transformation in another person.

And concerning you, my brethren, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able also to admonish one another.
Romans 15:14

The word "admonish" is νουθετέω, noutheteo, which means, admonish, warn, exhort, counsel. It is a duty of all believers, not just "clergy" or state-licensed "professionals."

Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 5:14
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
2 Thessalonians 3:15
Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother
Titus 3:10
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject
Acts 20:31
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
1 Corinthians 4:14
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
1 Corinthians 10:11
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Colossians 1:28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
1 Thessalonians 5:12
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

"Amateurs" should not be barred from engaging in this kind of "coaching."

There are basically two parts to our coaching program.

  1. Pre-Season Training
    We study and learn "the playbook" as a team. Every member of the football team needs to know the plays. Our "playbook" consists of the following:
    1. The Bible - Our only infallible standard.
    2. The Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms
    3. "Capitalism" - Providence and Peaceful Economics
    4. "Theocracy" - Providence and Government Under God
    5. "Optimillennialism" - Optimism concerning the possibility of Kingdom victory and "Peace on Earth."
    This is sometimes referred to as "training" or "education," or "spiritual formation."
  2. Coaching/counseling/mentoring/consulting
    Negatively
    , We help individuals overcome obstacles to carrying out the plays in their everyday lives.
    We help expose blind spots. The Scriptural view of coaching involves three C’s—Concern, Confrontation, and Change. Out of concern for a brother or sister in trouble spiritually, one lovingly confronts him in order to bring about change that is pleasing to God.
    Positively, We help individuals maximize their performance, and achieve their personal best in every area of their life.
    This is where traditional "coaching" or "counseling" comes in.
    We do not draw a critical distinction between "coaching," "counseling," "consulting," "mentoring," "spiritual formation," and "discipling," as some coaching programs do.

Like many other coaching programs, when we work with coaching clients individually ( #2 above, as distinguished from team instruction, #1 above),

  • We integrate the Core Competencies of Coaching as established by the International Coach Federation (ICF)
  • We structure questions in a genuinely exploratory manner to avoid 'leading' our clients
  • We exercise the ability to hear beyond our clients' words through their inflections, pace, energy, and even silence
  • We are comfortable in confusion, embracing questions in a true spirit of curiosity and discovery
  • We practice the skill of becoming 'invisible' as our clients listen to the Holy Spirit and their God-given desires
  • We help clients operationalize their visions, setting measurable goals and timelines
  • We use empowerment skills to place clients more in touch with their abilities and resources for dramatic life change
  • We foster accountability that really works - through you, not to you
  • We marshal pain and passion - the two great human motivators for change
  • We understand the stages of personal and spiritual growth, and meet our clients in their own unique stages
  • We encourage our clients, to overcome resistance to change, and help a client get 'unstuck'
1 Thessalonians 2:11
As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
1 Thessalonians 5:14
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
  • We identify and work with core values, vision, purpose, and mission

Ideally, you would complete our training section before working on some of the tough problems below. But we can also begin working on them immediately. It is often the case that people who have not completed the training and have come to see the power of the Bible as a timeless textbook, find it difficult to pursue Biblical solutions to problems that are often labeled "psychological," that is, requiring a secular psychologist or other "professional." Here are some general indications of how we approach "psychological" problems:

Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome

Socialism brings alcoholism and suicide. As the United States becomes less American, and the American dream becomes a "utopian" hope or a relic of a bygone era, Americans become alienated from God's purposes for their lives. Socialism is oppressive, and victims of tyrannical oppression are traumatized. Parents laboring under oppressive taxation and economic uncertainty are less unable to nurture children, and today more teenagers die from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease combined. Many Americans are suffering from Pending-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and these problems are exacerbated by the values of the mainstream media and unconstitutional government.

The Bible says we must walk by faith, not by sight, and our training program is the best system available for cultivating that faith. America's Founders had more of this faith and were better equipped to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."


     This will surprise you . . .

You are suffering from

PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

If you're like millions of Americans, you experience crippling stress every day 
causing debilitating dislocations in one or more of 
four major areas of your life:
 

Family Finances Fitness Faith

• Lost love for spouse
• Abuse of children
• Inability to form lasting relationships

• Failure to keep a job
• High-interest debt
• Wavering productivity

• Sickness, loss of health
• Low-Energy
• Overweight

• Devitalizing Doubt
• No purpose in life
• "Is God pleased with me?"

... and many other goals to achieve and problems to solve

This crippling stress is caused by a traumatic experience.

Deep down in your soul, you know this traumatic experience to be fundamentally evil or unfair. But your family, friends, church, or government all compel you to behave as if this traumatic experience is perfectly normal and acceptable. This causes 

Cognitive Dissonance

"Dissonance" is the opposite of "harmony." "Cognitive" refers not just to your intellect, but the very fiber of your being. Your "soul." Your "spirit." The stress is killing you.

The evil that is traumatizing you by causing this "cognitive dissonance" is not a single event in your childhood or distant past. 

It is an on-going evil that you witness every day.

Deep down in the very core of your being you know it's evil. You may be forced to participate in it. You know it shouldn't be this way. You can't escape it. You feel helpless. You ask, "Is there a God?"

The Way It Should Be

Before identifying the trauma that you experience, we need to realize that as a nation, we have lost sight of the way things should be.

When America knew the way things should be,
       America was the most prosperous and admired nation in human history.
When America turned her back on the original "American Dream,"
       the United States became bankrupt and despised even by our former admirers.

When Did This Happen?

Piece by piece, the Federal Government prohibited public schools from reminding us of the original "American Dream."

The average colonial American 17-year old in 1776 knew more about what it takes to make America a prosperous and virtuous nation than the average American adult in 2021. The average colonial American teenager would be horrified at the things American adults tolerate in 2021: Tyranny, public immorality, idiocy. Unbelievable.

Public schools were very different in 1776 than they are today. Music and entertainment were very different in 1776 than they are today. The government was very different in 1776 than it is today.

What was the original American Dream? In a nutshell,

The phrase "Vine & Fig Tree" comes from the fourth chapter of the prophet Micah, and is set forth here. You may have heard Micah's words before -- we beat our "swords into plowshares" and everyone dwells safely under their own "Vine & Fig Tree.

America's Founding Fathers were familiar with this vision: "Vine & Fig Tree" is the worldview that made America "the greatest nation on God's green earth." International peace and harmony with nature -- this is the way God created us to live.

According to the Library of Congress Website, George Washington was motivated by the Vine & Fig Tree vision revealed in the Bible: 
 
No theme appears more frequently in the writings of Washington than his love for his land. The diaries are a monument to that concern. In his letters he referred often, as an expression of this devotion and its resulting contentment, to an Old Testament passage. After the Revolution, when he had returned to Mount Vernon, he wrote the Marquis de Lafayette on Feb. 1, 1784:

"At length my Dear Marquis I am become a private citizen on the banks of the Potomac, & under the shadow of my own Vine & my own Fig-tree."

This phrase occurs at least 11 times in Washington's letters.

"And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree" (2 Kings 18:31).

Peter Lillback, author of a 1,000-page study of Washington's life and thought, has found more than 40 references to the  “Vine and Fig Tree” vision in Washington's Papers.

"Under My Own Vine and Fig Tree, 1798" by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris, Lora Robins Collection of Virginia Art, Virginia Historical Society
Under My Own Vine and Fig Tree, 1798
Jean Leon Gerome Ferris
Virginia Historical Society
Lora Robins Collection of Virginia Art

Many other American Founders wrote of this ideal. "Vine & Fig Tree" is the original "American Dream."

The phrase occurs a number of times in Scripture. These references are visual reminders of the Hebrew word for salvation, which means
• peace,
• wholeness,
• health,
• progress, abundance, well-being, and
• private property free from pirates and princes.
When today's Americans hear the  word "salvation," they usually think about going to heaven when they die, after living a life of trauma and dislocation. When the writers of the Bible used the word "salvation," they wanted you to be thinking about dwelling safely under your own Vine & Fig Tree during this life -- much more often than they wanted you to be thinking about what you'll be doing in the afterlife.

Every American alive in 1776 could tell you something about the Vine & Fig Tree vision. The vast majority of Americans today have never heard of it. There are many explanations for this (and they might be called "conspiracy theories"), but the fact is that our schools and media are controlled by a government which America's Founders would call a "tyranny."

Today "the American Dream" means "owning your own home." But the word "own" means something very different than it did in 1776. Today, "owning" means "qualifying for a low-interest, fixed rate mortgage." It means the bank owns your home. Even if you pay your mortgage off, if you don't pay your property taxes the government will take your home. Even if you pay your taxes, the government can take your home and give it to speculators and land developers who promise the government that they will be able to build a mall and pay more taxes than you do to the government. This is called "eminent domain." The U.S. Supreme Court has said this is "constitutional." A man's home is no longer his castle.

The "Boston Tea Party" (1772) involved a tax on tea of three pence per pound of tea. Today we pay ten times (10x) more than that on every gallon of gas. The tyrannical government over you expropriates over 2/3 of everything you earn. America's Founders were outraged by "taxation without representation."  Twenty times more taxes, and only a fraction of the "representation." We are passively traumatized by it.

Americans were appalled by "The Boston Massacre" in 1770, in which five Americans were killed by British soldiers. Today, U.S. military bases are found in over 100 nations around the world, and since 1960, tens of millions of innocent non-combatant civilians have been killed, crippled, or made homeless by U.S. bombs and soldiers. Imagine a drone fires a missile at your children's wedding. Every day, U.S.-made weapons are killing innocent people. We all know about this, but each new generation suppresses the thoughts. This is trauma.

We eat junk food, and then get cancer. We know this is not way it's supposed to be. But we're too busy suppressing the trauma with sports and "adult toys," so we don't have time to grow our own healthy food.

We are all traumatized by global violence which brings profits to corporations, and empitness to human beings. We don't want to think about it. We spend billions of dollars a year for entertainment and amusement, psychotherapy, prescription drugs, or illegal drugs, because the bank owns our home, and the government owns our paycheck. We're not living the original "American Dream" under our own Vine & Fig Tree, and the trauma is killing us.

"Your" government -- The United States Federal Government -- is the most evil and dangerous entity on the planet. Other "governments" might be more evil (e.g., North Korea), but they are not more dangerous. The U.S. government threatens nuclear annihilation of entire continents if the interests of its corporate sponsors are interfered with. ΏDo you see your home in this image:


We live under the constant threat of alienation or annihilation. We see evil on our TVs every day. This is traumatizing us. It cripples us. It weakens our resolve to fight evil. We re-elect the same politicians every election. Or we don't vote at all.

We are created in the Image of God, hard-wired to transform a wilderness into a garden, and move us all closer to the City of God. When the government, the media, our neighbors, friends and even family all tell us to compromise our inborn standards and aspirations and pursue things which are transitory, plastic, unethical, and superficial, we are traumatized by this. We look for mentors and co-workers, but feel alone. We suffer dehumanizing trauma.
 

Treatment for American PTSD

Then they will hammer their
swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation
And never again will they train for war.

And each of them will sit under his
Vine and under his Fig Tree,
With no one to make them afraid.
For the L
ORD of hosts has spoken.

Pursuing the Vine & Fig Tree vision is what it means to be human.

In just one year, our online home study program duplicates the colonial education that Americans received in the public schools of 1776. We don't teach "the 3 R's" (reading, writing and arithmetic); we teach the original American dream. We teach the worldview that made America "the greatest nation on God's green earth."  Twelve years of a colonial American one-room school house can be compacted into one year (365 days) of virtual online coaching. (Assuming you already know how to read.) 

Our program is simple, but not easy.  There are three parts to this program:

  1. Cut out 1 hour per day of the mainstream media for 365 days;
  2. Substitute 40 minutes of the Vine & Fig Tree Coaching program; 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes in the evening;
  3. Become a mentor to two other people at home, work, school or church, by helping them fulfill steps 1 and 2 (and eventually 3). When you become a mentor to one other person, two people are transformed. And "where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matthew 18:20).

We Guarantee you will be transformed from ordinary to extraordinary, and as a Certified Coach for the Vine & Fig Tree Coaching program, you'll make a little money in the process, by coaching your friends and neighbors, encouraging them to overcome the traumatizing effects of a society that rejects God, and helping them become lifelong Vine & Fig Tree learners.

Become a Lifelong Learner

We all need to become "lifelong learners." Most people don't want to do their homework. America has become an "adolescent" nation. The concept of "adolescence" is relatively new. Children in the past were expected to grow up and become mature, productive adults at an earlier age than today. Obamacare treats people as old as 26 as children covered by their parents' insurance. "Adolescence" means assuming no adult responsibilities, and being free to gratify selfish child fantasies, subsidized by the previous generation.

It's Never Too Late to Go Back to Kindergarten

If you look at the details of our program, you may be overwhelmed. You are a victim of educational malpractice. But you are capable of learning as much and being as spiritually and morally whole as Americans were in 1776. Moral and spiritual wholeness, combined with a Christian education, creates a Biblical worldview which strengthens you and immunizes you against the trauma of atheistic tyranny. It helps you see the real problems and visualize effective solutions, and empowers and encourages you to take steps to be a part of the solution instead of being a part of the problem.

The Jews have a tradition called the "Bar Mitzvah," literally translated "son of command." It means you know how to obey God's Commandments. It means you have developed the internal fortitude to stand against evil and do the right thing. Its observance began centuries ago, when a 12 year-old was deemed to be an adult: not because he was gratifying his sexual urges before marriage ("adult movies"), but because he was mature in the faith, and was able to relate to authority, both good and bad, in a healthy way. He was ready to begin exercising dominion over the earth" (Genesis 1:26-28).

If you're an American adult, you are capable of much more than you think. You are using only a tiny fraction of the human potential with which you were endowed by your Creator.

Dr. J. H. Van den Berg of Utrecht, in the Netherlands, has written some very stimulating things in the history of psychology. In his book, The Changing Nature of Man (NY: Dell, 1961), he gives examples of mature "children." He cites the life of Theodore Agrippa d’Aubigne, Huguenot, friend of Henry IV, born in 1550:

Of d’Aubigne it is told that he read Greek, Latin and Hebrew when he was six years old and that he translated Plato into French when he was not yet eight. Plato. Montaigne recommended the reading and explaining of philosophical discourses to children. Well, if an eight year-old child can translate Plato, what objection can there be to reading a translated version to him when he is four? When d’Aubigne was still eight years old, he went through the town of Amboise, accompanied by his father just after a group of Huguenots had been executed. He saw the decapitated bodies; and at the request of his father, he swore an oath to avenge them. Two years later, he was captured by Inquisiteurs; the ten year-old boy’s reaction to the threat of death at the stake was a dance of joy before the fire. The horror of the Mass took away his fear of a fire, was his own later comment, as if a ten year-old boy could know what he meant by that. And yet, a child who has translated Plato and has been used to reading the classics for four years, could not such a child know what he wants and know what he is doing? But he can hardly be called a child. A person who observes the effects of an execution intelligently, who swears an oath to which he remains true through life, who realizes for himself the interpretation of the Holy Communion and who fathoms the horror of death at the stake -- he is not a child. He is a man.

Secular Americans who have lost touch with their Vine & Fig Tree roots are traumatized by ISIS beheadings.  Faith protects us from trauma. The majority of traumatic evil in this world is perpetrated by those who claim "authority." In the case of d’Aubigne, a union of "church" and "state." America's Founders were willing to risk their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, because they were pursuing the Vine & Fig Tree vision.

Now one might say these were "child prodigies," and yet the interesting thing is how many of the great musicians of that period were child prodigies and how many of the ordinary people matured at the same age. The intellectual level back then was quite high, even among the common people. The level of preaching is ample evidence of this. The ability of church members to listen to lengthy sermons of sometimes two hours, to reproduce all thirty or forty points faithfully later in the week, and to debate them or discuss them, is well documented. There was a high order of discipline, and this discipline furthered the uses of intelligence.*

Consider the Constitutional Convention in this country. Go through and list the ages of those men at the time of the Constitutional Convention and they were a surprisingly youthful group. Franklin was the old man of the group, and Washington was far older than most of them. The average person there was a generation or so younger than Washington. They were young men. Not only were they young men in their 30’s but most of them had been military officers, judges, governors, for a number of years. They reached maturity in their teens because there was a different concept of discipline. Today's law students complain when they are assigned The Federalist Papers, but the "Papers" were originally newspaper columns for ordinary American farmers.

If a colonial American teenager could travel through time from 1776 to our day today, he would tell you Five Things you need to know about the trauma you have experienced, and he would recommend you read Five Books that were banned from the public school you attended. These Five Books are the most important books in the history of Western Civilization. Despite our "smart phones," we are now an uncivilized people. We are powerless and passive in the face of traumatic evil.

 

* The above is from R.J. Rushdoony, Institutes of Biblical Law, chapter 6, "The Principle of Authority," from the section on the Fifth Commandment, "Honor thy Father and Mother," which was understood for centuries to include tutors and educators.


My Coaching Program

If you hire me as Your Bible Coach, here is exactly what I'm going to require you to do. If you want, you can do it yourself and not pay me a red cent. More power to you. If you want my help, please remember that "The laborer is worthy of his hire."

First, there are Five Things You Need to Know. You need to know them because you are a Victim of Educational Malpractice.

Second, there are Five Books You Need to Read. The first one, obviously, is the Bible. But there are four other books, among the most important in Western Civilization, which will help you overcome anti-Bible brainwashing you have received from the government, government-controlled media, and government-controlled academia.

We introduce you to this entire program in a 95-day orientation "Boot Camp." Here's what we cover.

Thing #3:     
 Three Huge Mistakes America's Founders Made

-- and why you must avoid them

details
    Day 36: We don't worship the Founding Fathers. details
Huge Mistake Number One: "Rights"
    Day 37: The Myth of "Human Rights." Humanistic attack on moral duty. details
    Day 38: "Entitlements" are destroying this nation details
Huge Mistake Number Two: Revolution
They took up arms to abolish the government
by force and violence, murdering Christians from Britain
    Day 39: Just plain wrong. Romans 13 -- Sermon on the Mount details
    Day 40:  U.S. Overthrowing Governments Today.
              Global Revolution: War, Imperialism, CIA Overthrow,
              "National Defense," Foreign Policy,  Blowback.
              Trillions of dollars diverted, millions of lives lost
details
Huge Mistake Number Three: Restoration of Representative Regulation
    Day 41: Who has the right to steal, coerce, torture, or delegate these sins to someone else? details
    Day 42: Bonus Non-Mistake: no “Rapture.” Novus Ordo Seclorum. details
 
Each and every day, as you read the Bible and the other important texts in the Samuel Adams Coaching Program,, you should reflect on these three huge mistakes and ask three questions:
1. Rights:
  • Am I here to get or to give?
  • Am I here to demand my rights or to obey my duties?
  • Am I entitled or am I obligated?
  • Am I owed or do I owe?

When you speak about God's Commandments rather than "the rights of man," are you prepared to be called a "theocrat?"

2. Revolution:
  • Is "Rebellion Against Tyrants Obedience to God?" Really?
  • Should we preach to tyrants until they are converted, or should we assassinate them?
  • What is the Christ-like way to move sheeple and their wolf-tyrants to "Liberty Under God" and the Vine & Fig Tree society?
  • "Tyranny" and "liberty" are abstractions. The Bible says "Honor the king." You honor the king by not treating him as an abstraction or a conspiracy theory, and treating him as a human being created in the Image of God. Do you know a tyrant? Witness to him. Do you know someone who profits from tyranny? Witness to her. Are you prepared with an anti-tyranny apologetic?

When you speak about being "subject" to tyrants rather than asserting your "Second Amendment Rights," or assassinating tyrants, are you prepared to be called a "pacifist?"

3. "Representation":
  • Is it legitimate for me to grab my entitlements by "voting" for a "representative" to get them for me?
  • Is it legitimate for me to overthrow a foreign government so I can increase my corporate profits or lower my gas prices by "voting" for a "representative" to send the CIA or the Marines?
  • Is it legitimate for me to take money from my neighbor by "voting" for a "representative" to "tax" him?
  • Would the world be worse off or better off without any "archists" (people who believe they have the right to impose their will on others by force) at all?
  • Would the world be better off or worse off if all archists resigned and got jobs in the private sector?

When you speak about the superiority of Free Enterprise over socialism, and when you dream about markets freed from archists, are you prepared to be called an "anarchist?"

 Thing #4:     
 The Three Most Hated Words in Politics Today
-- and why you must embrace them
These three words
all stem from the Three Huge Mistakes  
that America's Founders made.
These three hated concepts are the only way to reverse those three huge mistakes.

details
Most Hated Word #1 - THEOCRACY!
    Day 43: God Rules - Isaiah 33:22 | 
               Not "Government by Ayatollahs" - Priestly Police State
details
Most Hated Word #2 - PACIFISM
    Day 44:  The opposite of violent revolution against tyrannical invaders: 
                no "national defense."
details
Most Hated Word #3 - ANARCHISM
    Day 45:  Jesus prohibits His followers from being "archists." Case closed. details
    Day 46: Bonus Word: Preterism - optimilllennialism, not pessimillennialism details

Our Guarantee

If you complete our one-year coaching program, 
you will experience
the most profound, beneficial, and lasting
personal transformation of your entire life,
or we will DOUBLE your money back

People ask, "Double? Is that a trick?"
Nobody in the coaching industry offers a money-back guarantee, much less a double your money back guarantee.
How is that guarantee possible?

Our coaching program is sponsored by a non-profit organization called  “Vine & Fig Tree.”  (Scroll up to read more about that tax-exempt organization.)  We've never had anyone ask for their money back, nor for double their money back. But we figure that offering that jaw-dropping guarantee will motivate people to investigate our program a little more. In short, our guarantee is a marketing gimmick. But it's totally sincere. We genuinely believe that if you complete our coaching program, you'll love it, but if not, we will have planted seeds in your mind that will eventually bring a harvest. Maybe not in one year, but eventually. If you don't see the harvest after 365 days, ask for your money back. Ask for double your money back. It's worth it to our organization. It's why we're here. Other coaching program graduates make tax-deductible donations to help us pay off our double-your-money-back guarantee because our graduates believe that eventually the program will pay off. If you're not satisfied after one year, eventually, you'll be back.

If you don't like our double-your-money-back guarantee, you can still get started with our program for free. Put away your credit card. Click here to get your first coaching assignment.


If you enroll today, for FREE, you'll be enrolled in a 95-day "orientation boot camp," which will survey the Bible, our coaching program, and attempt to "sell" you on enrolling in our complete coaching package. There is no obligation. We've outlined the entire 95-day program here. It's possible for you to look through this outline, and come to the conclusion that you definitely want to enroll in our full two-year program. In the first year we recover the Bible-based education you would have received had you been alive 200 years ago. In the second year we take what you learned and apply it to your life, conquering your biggest problem, or achieving you biggest dream. Our normal price for this program is $97/mo, or $997 when paid in full (save $1,331.00). If you pay in full, we'll offer you a double-your money back guarantee if you complete all the assignments. We offer a 100% money-back guarantee otherwise, for any reason. Experiencing financial precarity? Ask for a scholarship. There's no excuse for not enrolling right now, starting to overcome years of educational malpractice, learning the most important book in the history of the human race, experiencing

the most profound, beneficial, 
massive, and lasting
personal transformation
of your entire life

and becoming

  • An Extraordinary American
 
• An Extraordinary Christian
  • An Extraordinary Human Being


What does "Global Christian Theocracy" look like?

The word "Theocracy" comes from two Greek words meaning "God Governs." Another word for "Theocracy" is "Providence." Theocrats say "In God We Trust" more than in politicians.

Some people confuse "Theocracy" with "Ecclesiocracy," which means "government by clergymen."

Benjamin Rush signed the Declaration of Independence and served in the Presidential administrations of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison -- each of whom came from a different political party. And of what party was Rush?

I have been alternately called an aristocrat and a democrat. I am now neither. I am a Christocrat. I believe all power. . . will always fail of producing order and happiness in the hands of man. He alone Who created and redeemed man is qualified to govern him.

On January 23, 1807, Benjamin Rush write to John Adams, who also signed the Declaration of Independence:

By renouncing the Bible, philosophers swing from their moorings upon all moral subjects. . . . It is the only correct map of the human heart that ever has been published. . . . All systems of religion, morals, and government not founded upon it [the Bible] must perish, and how consoling the thought, it will not only survive the wreck of these systems but the world itself. "The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it" [Matthew 16:18].

Adams wrote:

As much as I love, esteem and admire the Greeks, I believe the Hebrews have done more to enlighten and civilize the world. Moses did more than all their legislators and philosophers.

Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience,
     • to temperance, frugality, and industry,
     • to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and
     • to piety, love and reverence towards Almighty God.
What a Utopia, what a Paradise would this region be.

The Prophet Micah described a global "Theocracy": everyone dwelling peacefully under his own “Vine & Fig Tree,” obeying the commandments of God, free from thousands of pages of bureaucratic regulations, free from threats by pirates and princes.


Not exactly my style of "coaching," but still humorous:
