Rationalism and Tyranny

Are You Afraid of the Past?

To be afraid of the present is to be paralyzed by guilt and fear, so that even ordinary responsibilities feel overwhelming and are endlessly postponed, leaving life suspended between a haunting past and an imagined future that promises escape but never delivers it. Such people cannot live in the “now” because they are bound by unresolved sin and evaded responsibility, and every attempt to flee only deepens the burden, for no man can truly evade accountability before God. The present becomes livable only when we face our responsibility honestly, confess our failure to meet God’s requirements, and rest in Jesus Christ as our substitute, whose atonement frees our conscience and whose regenerating power restores us to faithful action. In Him, the present hour is no longer a threat to be feared but the arena of victorious living, where we move “from strength to strength,” trusting the Lord and finding blessedness in His grace.

Righteous Judgment (Enemies in the Church) (Remastered)

Jude unleashes a scathing rebuke against false teachers infiltrating the church filthy dreamers defiling flesh, despising authority, slandering dignities.Even Michael the archangel restrained: ""The Lord rebuke thee!"" yet these rail against what they ignore, corrupting like brute beasts.Woe! They follow Cain (unrighteousness), Balaam (greed), Korah (rebellion).Spots on love-feasts empty clouds, fruitless trees twice dead, raging waves foaming shame, wandering stars reserved for eternal darkness.Enoch prophesied: Lord comes with thousands execute judgment on ungodly deeds & hard speeches!Murmurers, complainers, lust-walkers, swollen words for advantage.Rushdoony exposes: Irreverence core pretentious ""higher"" wisdom masks rebellion.Righteous judgment God's prerogative leaders exercise; we restrain tongue.Contend fiercely ungodly within deadliest threat!Timeless call discern, rebuke, stand in truth! #JudeWarning #RighteousJudgment #ApostasyExposed #Rushdoony

Rogation Sunday

Rogation Sunday once reminded communities that land, harvest, and life itself depend on God and that boundaries matter. Families didn’t just pray for crops; they walked their property lines, teaching the next generation to remember and guard the landmarks they would inherit. Scripture uses those landmarks as a powerful image of God’s moral law: remove them, and confusion and injustice follow. Today, as leaders steadily shift God’s boundaries, the result is moral chaos. If we refuse to remember and honor the landmarks God has set, He will remind us Himself and His corrections are never gentle.

Dr. Cornelius Van Til

Cornelius Van Til is presented as a watershed figure whose thought confronts every thinker with an unavoidable ultimatum: begin and end with the triune God of Scripture, or inevitably with man, reason, or some created substitute; this clarity echoing Joshua’s call to choose whom we will serve made him deeply offensive to those seeking theological or philosophical respectability, yet profoundly liberating to those who grasped its implications. Rushdoony emphasizes that Van Til was not merely a difficult philosopher but a powerful, lucid preacher, whose exposition of 1 Corinthians 1 revealed the gospel as God’s wisdom against human pride. Despite neglect by institutions and hostility from church leaders, Van Til’s influence continued to spread through seminal works like The Defense of the Faith and Christian Theistic Ethics, laying foundations for Christian Reconstruction. His refusal to profit from his books underscored his humility, while the continued demand for his writings even in photocopied form testified to their enduring power. The unresolved question remains whether the church will be judged for neglecting Van Til or renewed by finally embracing his God-centered vision. #CorneliusVanTil #ChristianReconstruction #PresuppositionalApologetics #GodCenteredThinking #Theonomy #FaithAndReason #BiblicalWorldview #Chalcedon #Rushdoony

The Lord's Judgment

When Scripture says “the judgment is God’s,” it means justice must be measured by God’s law, not human opinion. Courts, commerce, and daily life are all called to reflect His righteousness, because justice and righteousness are one and the same in the Bible. Our crisis today is that man’s word has been enthroned above God’s Word, turning opinion into law and preference into policy. We can debate and amend human legislation, but God’s Word stands unaltered and if it does not stand with us, we will not stand before Him.
