Taking on the idols
This will be short, but I think it will be sweet enough for your taste (perhaps too sweet for a “non-theonomist”).

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 […]
Read moreCivil Government and It’s Purpose What is the purpose of civil government? Should the civil government provide food for the hungry? Clothes from The Fifth Collection for the naked? Protection for the righteous? What is the role of civil government, and more importantly, who should be the one to answer these questions? If these questions are left up to each […]
Read moreThe Boston Marathon, held on Patriot’s Day, was concluded with the explosion of two devices, leaving many wounded and a few killed. This event will be the start of something commonplace in American society as states, cities, and the nation moves towards a humanistic, progressive, socialist, anti-God civil government and culture.

Read moreThe lesser of two evils franchise will say that they will be “sending a message.” Yeah, that they’re idiots. Gary DeMar has escalated his rhetoric against those of us who disagree with his neocon rhetoric and his blind commitment to the Republican Party. In previous articles he only implied that we were idiots. He now says it directly. I am, […]
Read moreThe mistranslation of the name Llano Estacado in English – Staked Plains – has been the cause for a number of fancy stories about this huge, flat, waterless, featureless desert the size of the state of Indiana, located in northwestern Texas and eastern New Mexico. The name, of course, properly means Palisaded Plains. The plain is the largest mesa in […]
