April 18, 1689: The First American Revolution Begins!
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
What? Didn’t It Begin on April 19, 1775? Maybe Not!
We all know that the first glorious Revolution of the British American colonies began on April 19, 1775, when the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” was fired on the hallowed public “Green” in Lexington, Massachusetts, a place I’ve walked on several times over the years. (It’s one of my very favorite places in the entire nation). Eight colonists were killed by the British Regulars that day, and ten were wounded. That’s when it started. Right? Then, it began to blossom a few hours later in Concord, Massachusetts, a few miles from Lexington, as our guys made a stand against that same group of British regulars at the Old NorthBridge, over which I’ve walked several times (the several times rebuilt bridge, that is). So April 19, 1775 is the day that our first American Revolution began. Everybody knows that (well, everybody used to know that, but today not everybody does know it).

A POLITICAL INVESTIGATION (SORT OF)
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers; for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be, are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist, shall receive to themselves condemnation. For Magistrates are not to be feared for good works, but for evil. Wilt thou then be without fear of the power? Do well; so shalt thou have praise of the same. For he is the minister of God for thy wealth; but if thou do evil, fear, for he beareth the sword for nought; for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth evil.”
Romans 13:1-4, 1599 Geneva Bible
I don’t present myself as a Biblical scholar. But I do study God’s Holy and truthful Word often for my own betterment, and particularly when preparing articles for this great digital journal of truth, The Times Examiner. One of the parts of His Word that I have long been perplexed about is the first four verses of Romans 13. I find it confusing when trying to equate what my pastors over the years have told me that it meant, versus what I’ve been convinced it really means, based on the teaching of other pastors.

Propaganda Journalism
A March 27 Bloomberg News article featured this headline: Russians’ Trust in Putin Hits Wartime Low as Fatigue Grows
Here are the three main takeaways in the Bloomberg article:
“Trust in Russian President fell to its lowest since before the start of the invasion of Ukraine, due to a slowing economy and deepening war fatigue.”
“The share of people saying they trust in Putin slipped to 75% and his job performance stood at 70.1%, the weakest for both indicators since February 20, 2022.” [4 days before the Russian intrusion began.]
“A separate survey [independent Lavada Center] showed that 67% of those polled say the country should move toward peace negotiations, as public fatigue and economic pressures intensify amid the war’s fifth year.”
The title and major takeaways of the Bloomberg article seem extremely misleading considering that no other European leader has an approval rating anywhere near 75%. Moreover, Russia’s economic position is quite strong compared to its debt-ridden Western economic competitors.

The Danger in Boasting of “Chariots and Horses”
Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was a North African (Algerian) Bishop of Hippo Regius during the latter years of the Roman Empire. He was a theologian and philosopher whose prolific writings profoundly shaped Western Christianity and philosophy. He was influenced by Bishop Ambrose of Millan and the writings of Roman Senator Cicero (106 to 43 BC) but was the first to elaborate rigorous criteria for a just war and just conduct in war and policing appropriate for Christian participation without any reservation or shame.
Augustine outlined three main criteria for a just war: It must be initiated by properly constituted authority; it must be for a just cause; and it must be conducted by just means. In the United States, the properly constituted authority is established by the U.S. Constitution as Congress. Properly constituted authorities must decide these issues on behalf of the citizens. Augustine emphasized that these authorities are also ultimately accountable to God and therefore the teaching of Scripture. Thomas Acquinas (1225-1274) and many others since have attempted to flesh out a more comprehensive Just War Theory, but the tragedy of war always generates many ethical loose ends.
The Statue of Liberty Asks: What Have You Done to America?

- By W.H. Lamb
Before I begin this plunge into the heart of corrupted liberal dogma, let me state for the record that I am not against a degree of legal, restricted, and needful immigration, because Americans are dangerously below their replacement level of new births of legal American citizens. The vast majority of Americans living today had ancestors who emigrated from some other country and into the U.S. in the past. I am one of them, for both my maternal grandfather and grandmother came, LEGALLY, from the country of Croatia well over a hundred years ago (in the early 1900’s), and I’m grateful that they did. America has been peopled by, and generally benefited from, immigrants who came here from mostly European countries (with some exceptions) over much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, after which time almost all immigration was halted by the U.S. government (in 1924) for a time.
