Peace (Remastered) (The Church)

The Right Way

A once-successful man plunged into gambling, then into theft first from his company, then from his own wife in the vain hope that a “lucky break” would undo his mounting sins, proving again the folly Scripture condemns: “Let us do evil, that good may come.” His life illustrated the truth that a bad business cannot have a good ending, and yet such moral confusion is now praised as “realistic” even in the church. The only redeeming element came from his godly wife, who, refusing the illusion that prison time “paid his debt,” embraced God’s law of restitution. She worked, sacrificed her inheritance, repaid every wronged person, and in the process built strength and character into her children and secured God’s blessing through obedience. Her faith revealed what her husband’s folly denied: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”

Who Gets Hurt by Budget Cuts?

This passage argues that the public is often misled about budget cuts. Media and politicians claim that cuts primarily harm the poor and elderly, but in reality, budgets are frequently still increasing, and cuts usually apply only to proposed increases. Meanwhile, overgrown bureaucracies and legislators’ own expenditures remain untouched. Ordinary citizens, facing rising taxes and aggressive collection, bear the real burden. The author contends that claims of protecting vulnerable populations are used to guilt taxpayers into accepting excessive government spending, while the root problem bloated and inefficient government is ignored. #BudgetCuts #GovernmentSpending #TaxBurden #Bureaucracy #FiscalHonesty

Moral Force

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.

Is "God Loves You" The Whole Story?

God's love is not unconditional, and pretending otherwise has gutted the church. Andrea Schwartz sits down with Mark Rushdoony to trace how the modern gospel of unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness collapses into antinomianism, manipulative altar calls, and a Christianity with no kingdom and no game plan. They press into covenant as a relationship on God's terms, the abandoned doctrine of repentance, the prophets' indictment of social injustice as covenant-breaking, and why the church cannot expect blessing while it actively rejects God's law. Theonomy, they argue, is the unavoidable issue.

Money, Inflation and Morality (Economics, Money, and Hope) (Remastered)

This session exposes inflation as a moral disease before it is an economic one, rooted in fiat money, statist power, and a humanistic belief that value can be created by decree rather than by work, thrift, and godly character. When money is severed from real wealth, it becomes a tool of theft, rewarding debtors, punishing the faithful, and financing cultural decay—from foreign Marxist regimes to domestic moral revolutions—while quietly enslaving nations through unpayable loans. Inflation is shown not as an accident or policy mistake, but as institutionalized larceny, driven by bad theology, antinomianism, and the rejection of God’s law-order. Yet the message is not despair: the lecture insists that true recovery comes through recapitalization of people, beginning with repentance, Christian education, disciplined households, and the rebuilding of character-capital that can sustain a godly economy. As statist systems rot under their own madness, a counter-movement is already rising—Christian families, schools, and churches preparing to reclaim the future because the earth, and its wealth, still belong to the Lord. #MoneyAndMorality #InflationIsTheft #FiatMoney #BiblicalEconomics #DebtSlavery #AgainstStatism #ChristianReconstruction #CapitalAndCharacter #LawOfGod #FaithAndFinance #Chalcedon #TheEarthIsTheLords
