A Letter on Logic and Idolatry

In “A Letter on Logic and Idolatry,” Rushdoony argues that rationalistic apologetics, rooted in Greek philosophy, commit idolatry by treating abstract logic especially the law of noncontradiction as ultimate and even governing God Himself, rather than recognizing logic as a created and ordained aspect of God’s order. He contends that Greek thought made abstractions ultimate to avoid infinite regress, while modern rationalists repeat the error by placing Aristotle’s logic over God, rendering their systems both irrational and blasphemous. Apart from the Creator, Rushdoony insists, reality collapses into billions of chance-accidents far greater “miracles” than Scripture records and even Darwin admitted such explanations fail. True rationality begins not with autonomous logic but with the triune God, who alone is the source and governor of all reality, including the valid laws of logic themselves. #VanTil #Rushdoony #PresuppositionalApologetics #LogicAndIdolatry #ChristianPhilosophy #GodIsUltimate #FaithAndReason #BiblicalTheism #Chalcedon

God's Tax

The tithe is God’s tax, rooted in a simple truth: the earth belongs to the Lord. God, not the state, is the true owner, and the tithe is His rightful claim meant to be joined with justice, mercy, and faithful obedience. It does not belong automatically to the church, but to God Himself, and must be given in support of truly godly work. When men or governments seize what belongs to God, the result is tyranny and judgment; when God is honored, He promises blessing. The tithe stands as a public declaration that property is under God’s law, not man’s and that freedom itself depends on acknowledging His rightful ownership.

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.

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.
