Christian Gun Owners Are Heretics
Yep, gun owners are heretics according to “Formerly Fundy” Patheos blogger and Fuller Seminary doctoral candidate, Benjamin L Corey. Following the anti-Christian hate crime by the son of the devil who slaughtered nine people professing the name of Christ, Mr. Corey seized the moment on twitter to condemn Christian gun owners: The face that U.S. Christians are […]
Christian, You are the Light of the World
August 10, 2015
Right after Jesus identifies His disciples as the salt of the earth, He identifies them as the light of the world: You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it […]
Christian, You are the Salt of the Earth
July 6, 2015
Not only are Christians pilgrims in a foreign land and citizens of heaven, but we are the salt of the earth. Our Lord tells His disciples in Matthew 5:13: You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to […]
Christian, You are a Citizen of Heaven
July 3, 2015
Christian, not only are you a pilgrim residing in a foreign land (the common kingdom), but you are a citizen of heaven. Jesus tells us His kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36) – we are citizens of that kingdom, and that kingdom is not on this earth except in the hearts of God’s people. After calling out […]
Christian, You are a Pilgrim
July 2, 2015
There is an unbiblical idea that America is or was a Christian nation. There is no such thing, never has been and never will be. The idea of a “Christian nation” or establishing one through any supposed dominion mandate goes against every biblical reference of God’s people being pilgrims. If such a nation existed, we […]
Two-Kingdom Citizens: How Citizens of Heaven Ought to Live as Citizens of Earth

Comments Off on Two-Kingdom Citizens: How Citizens of Heaven Ought to Live as Citizens of Earth
Having addressed theonomy (here and here), the Law of God, God’s rule over civil magistrates, and the Christian’s obligation to humbly submit to authority, we’ll now take a look at the Christian’s role in the culture, which could not be more essential to understand given the nations’ drunkenness with Babylon’s immorality. It is difficult to […]
God Rules Over All Civil Magistrates
January 12, 2015
There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine! I really appreciate the above quote from Dutch Reformer Abraham Kuyper as it sums up Christ’s reign – over everything. It’s similar to what Dr. RC Sproul has said: […]
The Law of Nature is the Law of God
January 2, 2015
After a brief “life” interlude, we now return to the series of articles addressing the Law of God and related topics. For the Christian, God’s Law is our rule of life. By grace alone, we love God’s Law and delight in it as it burdens us not (Psalm 1:2, 119:97; Romans 7:22; 1 John 5:3). […]
Sam Waldron on Civil Authorities
October 8, 2014
I expect my next article on the topic of the Law of God to address Gentile governments and natural law, but as a prelude to that post, I thought it would be helpful to share some conclusions by Dr. Sam Waldron from his helpful lecture series, Theonomy: A Reformed Baptist Assessment. Dr. Waldron’s work is available […]
Thomas Schreiner on Theonomy
September 25, 2014
The last article on the subject of God’s Law served to be an introductory article to the series, providing a list of resources examining the manifestation of God’s Law under the Old and New Covenants. The primary purpose of this series is to study the definition and application of God’s Law for the Christian under […]
