Churches are full of members that believe that if they simply show up they are fulfilling the Great Commission. Certainly this is a false notion which has terrible consequences. The decay of American culture is proof of that. These folks believe that if they are attending church regularly and not overtly violating any of the Ten Commandments they are in step with God’s will. The fact is that showing up to church and living a moral life is not Christianity, at [...]
In order for any Biblical change to take place cultural objectives must be established. This requires deep study and active observation as to the issues plaguing our nation and the world. It also takes resolve, commitment and focus. The problem with many of the strategies proposed to bring about a Christian reformation is that while they focus, they remain infatuated with either political or economic solutions disregarding the root of the problem. Once reformation ideas remain fixed upon an isolated political [...]
Pr 29:18 ¶ Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. The vision which Solomon refers to is the Revelation of the Word of God and the application thereof. You might say that without the Revelation of God and its application to the real world, there can be no expectation of Victory. Although some may argue, the fact is that the Scriptures clearly proclaim Christ’s victory over all things in time, history [...]
People need a reliable reference point in order to formulate their thoughts and decisions. Without this point of reference chaos ensues. We live in a culture which has denied any notion of an absolute reference point of authority other than subjective humanism. If the culture is going to be rescued from its own grave-yard spiral into oblivion it must embrace the Christian Scriptures as that reference point of absolute and reliable authority. Re-establishing a Biblical Reference Point If Christians are to [...]
You only need desire to make something happen. With all the professing Christians in this nation why then is very little happening? Why are the principles of righteousness and liberty being systematically eviscerated from America’s law and culture? If the zeal of the Spirit is at work in the saints, what is holding them back from starting a Christ-centered movement that must be reckoned with? Here are a few observations.1. Fear: People generally are racked with fear. Governments rely upon this. [...]
THE CHRISTIAN GOAL The goal of any movement is to precipitate change. The goal of the Christian movement seeks to accomplish the same with one very critical variation. The difference between the Christian agenda and all other movements is that Christianity centers around the type, or the direction, of the change desired. What the Christian movement seeks, whether you call it Christian Reconstruction or Reformation, is a complete cultural overhaul structured according to the standards of Scripture and Biblical Righteousness. Through [...]
CORE PRINCIPLES“The more we are truly governed by God’s Law and the Spirit of God, the less we are then governed by the state, and the greater our freedom.” R.J. Rushdoony, Larceny in the Heart, p. 26Before any of us can lead others in the ways of Righteousness and Liberty we must be led ourselves. That is basically the idea behind Rushdoony’s statement. That means that if we desire to advance the causes of Freedom we must be a self controlled [...]
Below are some ideas for those who are truly committed to the cause and advance of Liberty. I have also added these suggestions at the end of the LIBERTY OR TYRANNY post since the piece naturally lends itself to this list.If Christian Liberty is to be preserved it must be advanced. Without a proactive strategy, one which takes the battle to the enemies of Freedom, nothing will change. Defensive tactics are not enough. The Christian community must re-establish itself once again [...]
We no longer live in the original America conceived of by our founders. The America that we now inhabit, even though we claim citizenship here, are actually citizens of a very different nation than that which was originally founded in 1776. In fact, the nation that we now occupy is in stark opposition to that nation which penned both the Declaration of Independence and the united states Constitution. This disintegrating change of the original philosophy of American Liberty did not happen [...]
The education of the Christian is not to up to individual discretion. God explicitly commands Christians to be educated from a firm and faithful Biblical vantage point. All education, if it is to be TRUE, is to be taught from a Scriptural epistemology. This insures both liberty and justice. The precepts of Scripture, when applied to the areas of the social order has proven to do just that. God accepts no other form of education whatsoever but that which coincides with [...]
