Since it is the Lords, only God can tax the earth. For the state to claim the right to tax the earth is for the state to make itself God. The more a state abuses this, the more tyrannical it usually is. Taxes in the hands of a tyrannical government is very destructive.

Authority over all things, including disease, is given to Jesus. These are perilous times. They are also times of great opportunity for the extension and application of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He reigns now.

Idolatry is banned by the first commandment, whereas the second commandment prohibits worship of such images. Man can only approach God on God’s terms and there can be no mediation between God and man except that which is ordered by God. As Rushdoony wrote, The purpose of idols is to convey abstract concepts to simple [...]

Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.

Your riches will not help you in the end.

Though God will use greed and other wicked impulses of the human heart as instruments in His hand of discipline, the Lord takes responsibility for the pain and suffering the nation of Israel is about to suffer. Not only man but also the beasts, the fowls of the air and the fish of the sea [...]

..then will every knee bow and proclaim “Jesus Christ is Lord.” Some translations use the word “wail” instead of “mourn.” I think “wail” works better and is a more apt description. With what consternation and shame will his rejectors behold him. With what horror will those behold him who have blasphemed. His name, denied his [...]

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. This is the foundational premise of the whole Bible. It announces Gods creation. It offers no explanation or descriptive of who God is or where He came from. We could discard this piece of information since there is no evidence of this “God.” But, by [...]

The Hebrew word for “redeemer” is goel, which also means “advocate,” or, more archaicallly “blood avenger”.

Throughout scripture, it is clear that those who serve God’s sanctuary and proclaim His word have a holiness in God’s sight and are to be held in respect by all men. The tribe of Levi was separated by God unto Himself, “to bless His name” (Deut 10:8), so that to bless faithful Levi meant to [...]

The practice of theology requires careful attention to reading and meditating, and then to applying the word of God, while at the same time refusing to be speculative by going beyond what is actually written. Our limited human understanding is both suspicious and fearful and either limits God or creates Him too much like a [...]

Man must restore to God His due, total lordship over all things, and this restoration, begun by Christ’s regenerating act, continued by the Holy Spirit, and made the very life of redeemed man to further, shall begin to come into its own way. We are being prepared for living in a community in which no [...]

Rahab, in citing the terror of the Canaanites over the power of Israel, does more than the Canaanites. She attributes this power to the total power of the Lord. The Canaanites were in terror, because they recognized what Israel had done to all its enemies. The history of Israel from the Red Sea crossing to [...]

The relationship between blessing and inheritance cannot be mistaken.

It is God’s secret plan that determines everything that happens in the universe.

Now if this unrighteous judge with no morals can answer a repetitive request, then how much more can a loving God? If this man will answer petitions that come to him from a stranger once a day, then will not God answer petitions that come from his children both day and night? Will God be [...]
