The Modern State as a False Messiah
October 24, 2026 · 11 minThe modern state is increasingly expected to save society from moral evils such as addiction, crime, and social decay, yet these problems are spiritual, not political or medical. Laws, science, and bureaucracy cannot supply character or…

The Political Myth
October 20, 2026 · 12 minModern politics is built on the false belief that the state can save man. As A. J. P. Taylor noted, socialism assumes human perfectibility, an idea that collapses once sin and human limitation are acknowledged. From a biblical perspective…

Elitism
October 17, 2026 · 17 minElitism often goes hand in hand with equalitarianism, as seen in Marxism and in Plato’s Republic, both of which deny the biblical view of man. Plato’s model called for rule by philosopher-kings, the abolition of property and family…

Aristocracy
October 13, 2026 · 14 minAristocracy means “rule by the best,” but history shows that societies have defined “the best” in very different ways. From philosopher-kings and feudal nobles to country gentlemen, saints, and intellectual elites, true aristocracy has…

The Recovery of Memory
October 10, 2026 · 14 minRushdoony argues that memory personal and cultural is essential to being fully human: when memory collapses (as in senility), a person can remain socially polished yet be stripped of identity, continuity, and direction. He extends that to…

The Dream of Reason
October 6, 2026 · 18 minThis position paper argues that the Enlightenment’s exaltation of human reason has produced a recurring and destructive dream: the creation of a perfectly rational, planned society ruled by philosopher-kings, with the Turkish Empire…

Morality and Growth
October 3, 2026 · 10 minA common error in the church is assuming unbelievers share Christian moral standards and simply need Christ “added” to their lives. Scripture teaches the opposite: fallen man is at enmity with God and requires regeneration, not…

Taxation
September 29, 2026 · 38 minThis position paper argues that taxation is fundamentally a religious issue because it rests on the question of sovereignty who is lord, God or the state. It rejects the common claim that churches are wealthy tax dodgers, showing instead…

State Interest Versus Public Interest
September 26, 2026 · 18 minModern governments increasingly equate state interest with public interest, using the claim of a “compelling state interest” to justify control over education, religion, and society. Historically, this language has masked the expansion of…

Adiaphorism and Totalitarianism
September 22, 2026 · 36 minAdiaphorism, the idea that some areas of life are morally “indifferent,” is not Biblical but a pagan import from Stoic and Cynic philosophy. Scripture teaches that all of creation is under God’s law and sovereignty; there is no morally…

About the show
Our faith should be an informed one because the God who created all things speaks to every sphere of life, and all facts should be studied in light of the revelation of God in Scripture. This is the foundation of Christian dominion. For R. J. Rushdoony, true government was the self-government of the Christian life in terms of God's law, so he wrote his position papers to better equip Christians to apply their faith to all of life. His objective was not to empower the state, or the organized church, but rather to call every person and institution to God's Word, which often put him at odds with both church and state.
