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"

The Two Plans

There are always two plans at work in history. One trusts salvation to centralized, scientific planning by men, where families, private ownership, and independence are dismissed as outdated obstacles to “progress.” The other is God’s plan, where the family is foundational, land ownership matters, and responsibility and freedom grow together under His law. These visions cannot be blended they are in conflict. Nations flourish when they honor God’s design and decay when they replace it with man’s schemes. The choice is unavoidable: will we trust the planners, or the plan of God?

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

Government

All real government begins with self-government. When people refuse to govern themselves under God, they invite someone else to rule them and history shows that tyranny always grows where self-control declines. Scripture is blunt: slavery to sin leads to bondage, but freedom comes only through Christ. Our age wants the comforts of slavery without admitting its cost, dressing dependence and control in attractive slogans. True freedom isn’t autonomy it’s living under God’s Word, growing in self-discipline, and rejecting every false master. The question isn’t political first, it’s personal: are you growing into freedom, or quietly choosing slavery?
