Instructions From Jeremiah 29 for Living in a Pagan Nation

The nation of Israel professed their devotion to God and acknowledged Him within their societies, but their hearts remained unchanged. Gradually, they succumbed to the surrounding paganism and attempted to merge it with their proclaimed love for God. As this continued, God repeatedly sent prophets to warn them of impending judgment if they did not repent. Despite these warnings, many insisted they had not sinned against God, while false prophets declared peace where none existed. Read more…

Modern Police, Man-Made Law, and the ‘Common Good’

Brian Sauvé recently seemed to downplay the concern theonomists have with police officers pulling people over for non-evil acts. I don’t know Sauvé’s exact views on this (and, for the record, am thankful for a lot of his work), but I do know the modern police system is antithetical to God’s Law-Word. The very concept of a body of “law enforcers” raises a question: What laws need enforcing? Biblical law does not require a body Read more…

Power in the Word

Aristotle once remarked that the mark of an educated man is to seek for precision in all things. If there is a task at hand the man of genuine learning must perform it with alacrity and skill. So too in the arts of thinking and speaking the educated man must seek to both formulate and express his ideas with a clarity and exactness that allows them to be edifying to those with whom he converses.

The American Experiment

The American Experiment (or The Great American Experiment) is a phrase often applied to the United States of America.  It’s usually attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville but probably stems from a bad translation of his French.  Too bad.  It’s a marvelous term even though it can be co-opted for almost any meaning. Still, I’ll use ithere, applying the term from a Christian perspective to the foundational principles of these United States. We are all familiar Read more…

Every Man a Tyrant

Huey Long, Governor and later Senator from Louisiana, made his famous “Every Man a King” speech during the depths of the Great Depression in 1934.  Leveraging the difficulties of the depression, he called for a program that would put strict limits on income, wealth, and inheritance, with guaranteed minimum incomes for all families. He also proposed the classic schemes placing limits on labor and free enterprise, with the government as the wise and all knowing Read more…

The High Cost of a Squandered Opportunity

For consideration: I am both a pastor and a businessman (I was the only pastor who spoke at the rally to reopen Prince William County). I know well the challenges of both. When the lockdowns and restrictions first came on the scene, it was the church who was in the best position to put the brakes on the tyrannical overreach. But that’s not what happened. Instead, statist pastors led their frightened flock into passive retreat, Read more…

The New Men of the Cloth: the Branch Covidians

It’s anyone’s guess when and where a new cult will spring up; what with its bizarre rituals, legalistic rules, and silly superstitions. The latest manifestation of these sandbox religions is a new sect from the statists. New, because now they can be identified physically.  These Branch Covidians, indeed, have never been happier. For years, they walked our halls, stalked our schools, and shopped our stores without any outward sign that they could display in honor Read more…
