Against Spiritual People

Fallen Man

History and experience alike expose the truth Scripture declares: apart from Christ, man is fallen and dangerous. An early archaeologist once observed a society without Christian restraint and concluded that men seemed “born with stones in their hands,” ready for violence an echo of Paul’s words that none are righteous. Yet modern humanism insists man is naturally good and denies guilt, justice, and even right and wrong, imagining a freedom that would only unleash greater evil. The choice is unavoidable: a world ordered by God’s law and grace, or a world ruled by fallen man. The question is simple which one are you helping to build?

Abortion

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

Cries and God

The crises that fill our newspapers wars, disasters, scandals, and fears are not new, nor are they signs that history has slipped from God’s control, for human history has always been a continual state of crisis because fallen man, in rebellion against God, cannot create peace or security apart from Him; yet these very crises are instruments of God’s justice and providence, never existing in isolation but always within His sovereign purpose, as the life of Joseph so clearly shows, where betrayal, injustice, and suffering were woven by God into blessing and deliverance. While the world sees only chaos, God governs all things, and the decisive events of history are not the disasters men publicize but the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, along with the countless mercies, conversions, and providences that never make headlines. When we view the world only through news of calamity, we lose perspective and peace, but when we walk by faith, trusting the Lord who stills the storms and brings His people to their desired haven, we learn that those who wait upon Him shall not be ashamed, for blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord.

Two Ancient Heresies

“Judge not” is one of the most misused phrases in the Bible often quoted to shut down truth rather than protect it. Scripture doesn’t forbid judgment; it forbids false judgment. Jesus and the apostles judged openly and clearly because evil left unjudged is evil approved. We’re not called to judge by feelings or personal taste, but by God’s law righteously, truthfully, and with mercy where there is repentance. Excusing sin shares in its guilt; judging rightly honors God. The command isn’t silence it’s clarity: judge righteous judgment.

Prophet, Priest, King, and Education (Educational Christian Faith) (Remastered)

This address defends Christian education as obedience to Christ’s total lordship, rejecting the charge that it “deflects from the gospel” by insisting that no area of life or knowledge is neutral and that Christ, not the state, is Lord. Because all creation belongs to God, every subject—science, mathematics, medicine, language, and the arts—must be taught in submission to His Word, not treated as autonomous or secular. Humanistic education falsely claims neutrality, redefines freedom apart from Christ, treats all problems as social rather than theological, and turns schooling into a rival system of salvation aimed at self-realization rather than the glory of God. By contrast, Christian education flows from Christ’s kingship and the believer’s calling to be priest, prophet, and king: priests who dedicate every subject to God, prophets who interpret all knowledge by Scripture, and kings who exercise dominion under Christ. The lecture argues that Christian schools are raising leaders rather than rebels, that humanism inevitably produces barbarism even among the highly educated, and that compromise reduces the gospel to mere “fire insurance.” Faithful education therefore proceeds from necessity, not preference, advancing the Kingdom with confidence that the Church is on the offensive and that the gates of hell cannot hold out against Christ’s lordship. #ChristianEducation #ChristIsLord #NoNeutralFacts #BiblicalWorldview #PriestProphetKing #AgainstHumanism #Dominion #KingdomOfGod #EducationAndFaith #GatesOfHell
