Morality and Growth

Taxation

State Interest Versus Public Interest

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…

The Open Face of Religion

Nationalism
September 15, 2026 · 6 minNationalism may seem irrational to modern thinkers, but history does not move by abstract reason or intellectual plans. Efforts to impose internationalism or a one-world order consistently provoke the opposite result: renewed nationalism…

The New Tower of Babel
September 12, 2026 · 11 minThe Tower of Babel was mankind’s first attempt at a one-world order: unified humanity, centralized power, and self-appointed authority replacing God. Its goal was not cooperation but control man declaring independence from God and…

No God, No Law
September 8, 2026 · 17 minWhen God is rejected, law loses its foundation and is replaced by power and planning. Early America functioned with minimal government because self-governing Christian conscience restrained society; modern states, having denied God’s…

The State as the Embodiment of Morality

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.
