Description

In “Moral Force,” Rushdoony argues that all lasting authority rests not on brute power but on moral force rooted in faith, and that when societies abandon moral absolutes they inevitably replace persuasion, law, and justice with coercion, bribery, violence, and aestheticized destruction. He traces how relativism leads first to cynicism, then to the worship of power—whether through revolutionary violence, statist control, or an aesthetics that glorifies shock, perversity, and negation—until man becomes enslaved to the very state he trusted to save him. Political salvation, artistic rebellion, and force-based ideologies all fail because they cannot give meaning, character, or hope; they only accelerate moral collapse. Against this, Rushdoony insists that only faith in the sovereign God provides true moral force, purpose, and dominion, enabling men to fight evil without despair and to reconstruct society under God’s law, confident that while duties are ours, the ultimate victory belongs to the Lord.

The Enemy (Enemies in the Church) (Remastered)

Jude, brother of Jesus and James, sounds a powerful alarm in his short but explosive epistle: Ungodly infiltrators have crept into the church unnoticed twisting God's grace into license for sin and denying Christ's absolute Lordship.These false teachers claim ""higher"" spirituality, but Jude exposes them: They pervert the gospel, turning freedom into lawlessness (antinomianism) while posing as enlightened leaders.From ancient Gnosticism to modern neo-orthodoxy, new age fads, and evolutionary ""wisdom"" the pattern repeats: A façade of agreement masks a radical remake of the faith.The true gospel needs no improvements it was once for all delivered to the saints. Our calling? Earnestly contend for it defend, preserve, apply!Rushdoony's timeless exposition reveals: The fallen world hates Christ and His people, always seeking to capture and corrupt biblical faith.Today, the enemy adapts subtle, ""respectable,"" intellectually superior but the threat is the same.Awake! Contend boldly the faith is worth fighting for!Powerful call to vigilance share and stand uncompromised! #JudeWarning #ContendForTheFaith #BiblicalVigilance #Rushdoony"

Are You Afraid of God?

There is a healthy fear of God, which Scripture calls the beginning of wisdom, born of drawing near to Him and seeing His holiness and our sin, but there is also an unhealthy fear that shows itself in running away from God through unbelief, denial, evasion, blame-shifting, or flight from responsibility, as seen in Jonah, Adam, and Eve. Such fear is not courage but terror, a refusal to be changed by God, and it inevitably multiplies fear until all of life becomes threatening, because creation itself bears witness to its Creator and leaves no hiding place. Men who fear God and flee from Him end up fearing everything; yet flight is futile, for God confronts us everywhere, even from within our own being. In the end, we must meet Him either naked and afraid in our guilt or clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ; and when we meet Him in Christ, fear is cast out, God becomes our Father, and our hearts cry, “Abba,” as we enter the joy of His redeeming love.

Who is Taking Care of the Poor?

This passage emphasizes that the primary caregivers for the poor in the U.S. are not government agencies, but private and voluntary institutions. The family remains the most effective welfare system, providing for sick members, elderly parents, and children’s education from kindergarten through college. Churches, both Protestant and Catholic, supplement this care by aiding the homeless and transient populations, often with limited resources and in spite of bureaucratic resistance. Additionally, private organizations like Strategies to Eliminate Poverty (STEP), led by wealthy evangelical businessmen, actively work to alleviate poverty and empower individuals to succeed. The author underscores that understanding and supporting these “free sector” efforts is crucial for maintaining freedom and effective social care. #PovertyAlleviation #FamilyCare #ChurchAid #PrivateInitiatives #FreeSectorImpact
