Taking on the idols
WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MOTION PICTURE “ELYSIUM”. – – Elysium was a movie that revealed what would happen when the church disappeared and when Satan’s kingdom would be left to it’s own demise. The picture played on the emotions of the audience in order to argue it’s case (which I believe to possibly be universal healthcare and […]

Christian scholars can talk about theonomy all day, but it’s application must eventually come forth from that discussion. What does theonomy look like in action? We can toot our horn of theonomy til His reign is over, but what are the ordained steps by which His law fills the earth? The American political system has become much like the former […]

I preferred to remain silent during the whole Zimmerman trial. After all, not having grown up in the US, the whole preoccupation with skin color is foreign to me. I say “skin color” because “race” is a rather stupid designation for it. How much of a nuance of brown is needed for two persons to be of different “races”? And […]
Read moreIt’s now an undeniable fact that Christians have, and are still in some ways, losing ground in the American culture war. Atheists are erecting monuments in favor of their unbelief and in opposition to religion, commonly towards Christianity, while gays/sodomites/homosexuals are becoming more prevalent in our society. Churches are watering down the gospel with ‘feel-good’ messages about self-improvement and positive […]
Read moreIt’s great to have discussions on web sites like this one talking about theonomy, and evaluating our civil leaders in light of its principles. But the rubber really meets the road when those Christians who profess to be theonomists actually go beyond reading, discussing, and critiquing others, and actually do something themselves in politics. Going beyond acting like a sports announcer commenting […]
Read moreGiven the theology of mainstream Christianity, and the current political climate surrounding the 2nd amendment, one can expect to see Christian leaders give Two-Kingdom sound bytes against owning guns, or just advising others to not do so. Surprisingly, John Piper sounded more like a liberal in his words (now removed from YouTube) about owning guns/snipers. Now look, John Piper has some […]
Read moreI am not going to toot Rick Perry’s horn. Neither do I want to do it. In my eyes, Rick Perry still has a history as a man of the establishment, a neocon, and a politician without clear ideology except being a political barometer to what the majority of the voters say, and repeat it back just to get elected.

Read moreNew Spring Church, Greenville, South Carolina, recently released a video of Perry Noble, revealing a few misunderstandings about evangelism (Starting at the 6:00 mark). As we know, misunderstandings (or intentional ignorance) always lead to attacking a straw-man. Perry Noble is either misunderstanding evangelism and showing his ignorance, or is intentionally being dishonest to discredit the street preachers and to lift […]
Read moreMike Reynolds, (according to Mattie Montgomery) is no longer a member of Christian band (perhaps formerly Christian) For Today. I say that For Today may not possibly be considered Christian anymore because when one abandons Christian principles in an age of homosexual activism, then they have created a world-friendly brand of Christianity. Christians today are too concerned about making the […]

First, the two men made a public stand for their Christian faith in relation to civil government: one as a government official who works to formulate public policy, the other as a victim of government policies specifically directed against his Christian conscience. Second, the two men […]
