Dominion - Christian Reconstruction - Cultural Warfare - Kingdom Advancement...All of these concepts, when pursued from a Biblical standpoint, without a doubt are good. Moreover, they are an essential part of the Great Commission. Yet, these ideas are nothing without the impetus of action giving them teeth. As the saying goes, “Good ideas are not worth a thing. Everyone has them – even the moron next door…”  Christians who talk endlessly about the dismal affairs of the culture and the looming threat [...]

R.J. Rushdoony rightly asserts, “It must be recognized that in any culture the source of law is the god of that society.” Whenever the Law of God is replaced by another law it means firstly, that another god has taken the place of the True God, since all Law is the codification of religion and must come from a divine source. Gary DeMar explains further: “When political systems rule, they rule in accordance with a law system. This is inevitable. There [...]

In his work, “The Historic Reality of Christian Culture”, Christopher Dawson observes, “We today are living in a world that is far less stable than that of the early Roman Empire. There is no doubt that the world is on the move again and that the pace is faster and more furious than anything that man has known before. But there is nothing in this situation which should cause Christians to despair.” 1The reason for Dawson’s optimism comes from two distinct [...]

 The modern Nation-State has become so pervasive in its influence and intimidation by its intrusion into the private lives of its citizenry that it seems as if nothing on earth can stop it. It has truly become the Leviathan of Hobbes and the Hegelian march of God through the world.The very idea that the State is now the messianic god of modern man, and especially of the American people is repulsive.  To forget the God of Scripture is bad enough. To [...]

There is never any reason to shy away from the Truth of God’s Word when it comes to applying it for the sake of restructuring the culture. Admit it, American culture is unraveling. It is quickly becoming promiscuous, violent and corrupt. It is quickly growing Anti-Christian to the point where it is combative against anything that even hints at a Scriptural approach to morality, ethics, law and government. The moral fiber of American culture is disintegrating before our very eyes, and [...]

Every culture is a theocracy. It is ruled by some notion of a higher authority even if that authority is man. The word simply means 'God's Rule'. Every culture therefore, is religious in nature since it is based upon a certain belief system of right and wrong, which make up its laws. Law is the codification of religion. Thus, every culture is based upon a particular belief system. The American Constitution was based upon Theocratic and Theonomic principles. Theonomy, means "God's Law". The [...]

There are certain characteristics which make up and define great leadership. Among these are passion, enthusiasm, confidence, and inspiration. For the Biblical leader there are a number of other characteristics which are essential, even foundational. That characteristic is faith. Although it is actually a gift from God, coming from the infusion of grace as a result of the new birth. Yet, it is also a character trait. Faith is a primary component of Biblical Leadership, and it is from this plateau [...]

“You cannot teach hunger.” This is an old saying but especially true in the realm of Christianity. If an individual has not been regenerated by God the Holy Spirit, it doesn’t matter what you do, you will never be able to get that individual to embrace Kingdom Advancement. Biblical passion comes from God not from nagging, begging or threatening. If God is at work in the heart of the individual, that individual will be motivated to diligent and devoted service.Share Your [...]

We all have ideas. In fact our minds come up with a myriad of ideas each and every day. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Many of them are simply fleeting thoughts and whimsical prospects which never see the light of day. That is to say these never come to fruition. However, those ideas which are actually developed, resulting in something tangible and usable, move both individuals and society forward so that they may become more productive. In order for ideas [...]

When contemplating the origin, logistics and end of the Christian life too many well meaning believers fall short in the articulation of it. In Chalcedon’s publication of ‘Foundations of Christian Scholarship’ (Ross House Books, Vallecito, CA.),  Vern  Poythress explains, in the simplest of statements, what the life- structure of the true believer looks like.   MotiveAll of life’s action originates with a motive. At its root, motives are fundamentally religious. Man’s actions are a result of religious ideas. What a man [...]
