Description

Rationalism claims to prove God by human reason, but the “god” it produces is only a product of fallen imagination acceptable to man but not the living God of Scripture. By ignoring the Fall and its corruption of the human mind, rationalism assumes reason is neutral and pure, when in fact sin has radically warped man’s thinking. Because fallen man resists a God who judges him, he reshapes truth to fit his reason, making himself the final standard of knowledge. This shifts epistemology from God to man and replaces revelation with human judgment. Rationalism is thus not intellectual strength but evidence of the Fall at work. True knowledge begins with God’s revelation and Christ’s atonement, not autonomous reason. The long philosophical trail of rationalism has led not to certainty, but to confusion and despair revealing its deep intellectual and spiritual bankruptcy.

He That Walketh in Darkness

Isaiah’s striking description of the man of faith as one who “walketh in darkness, and hath no light” confronts our natural desire for clarity, explanations, and visible guidance, for faith does not remove darkness but requires us to trust God within it. We cannot see beyond the present, nor can we fully understand past sorrows or unanswered prayers, and Scripture forbids us from kindling our own light seeking certainty by sight, explanation, or self-made assurance because such attempts only lead to sorrow. To walk in darkness is therefore to walk by faith alone, acknowledging that man cannot live by sight and that no torch of human reason or confidence can illumine life’s mysteries. God ordains this darkness so that we may reach for His hand rather than rely on ourselves, for if we had light of our own, we would not cling to Him. Thus, darkness is not abandonment but mercy, drawing us nearer to God, teaching us dependence, and proving that it is grace alone which brings us safely through the night and will finally lead us home.

The Trustee Family and Economics (Economics, Money, and Hope) (Remastered)

This session contends that economics rises or falls with the strength of the trustee family, not with state policy or abstract theory, exposing the Enlightenment myth that “reason” and social order exist only apart from God as ideological nonsense designed to justify hostility toward any institution not created by human fiat. Drawing on Zimmerman and Unwin, the argument shows that civilizations flourish when the family governs property, inheritance, children, welfare, and education, weaken when the state intrudes, and collapse when the atomistic family replaces covenantal continuity, sexual discipline erodes, and loyalty to past and future is severed. The trustee family is presented not merely as a household but as a corporate, covenantal entity—a living trust that outlasts individuals and serves as the primary engine of capitalization, productivity, and social energy, explaining both why totalitarian systems seek to destroy it and why disciplined Christian families consistently produce the most resilient, productive citizens. The remedy is practical and strategic: recover family-held property, strengthen community and trust structures, reclaim education and welfare from the state, and recognize that the reconquest of society through economics begins not with centralized power but with restored families exercising dominion under God. #TrusteeFamily #BiblicalEconomics #FamilyAsPowerCenter #Recapitalization #ChristianReconstruction #CovenantalOrder #AgainstStatism #PropertyAndInheritance #Dominion #KingdomEconomics

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.”
