Remembering Rushdoony! Rousas John Rushdoony (April 25, 1916 - February 8, 2001)

If God’s law-word is not used as the absolute standard, it is possible for Christians to be aligned with people and groups that are working in opposition to God. This episode of the Out of the Question Podcast addresses the concept of “controlled opposition” and how to discern one’s potential involvement.

D is for Discipline Christians should become Christians because modern humanistic ideological beliefs concerning child-rearing and discipline are being taught as facts, and the Biblical doctrines concerning child-rearing and discipline are being taught as destructive and abusive. For the past few decades, the seeds of humanism have been sown, and now the destructive consequences of anti-biblical ideologies are clearly seen. Christians need to get involved if more generations can be spared. Hosted By: Jeremy Walker Get Inspired. Get Equipped.

Do Christians approach death in faith or in fear? In episode #152 of the Out of the Question Podcast, Dr. Rhett Bergeron speaks from his professional experience along with a Biblical faith in approaching this topic.

“Christian Reconstruction” is a school of thought that is diametrically opposed to the autonomous reason of man which itself has long infected Christianity. Today’s Christian assumes that fallen man is an impartial judge over knowledge and reality—that he is “neutral”—and that fallen man can be “reasoned” into faith. R. J. Rushdoony continued the battle against modern man’s pretended neutrality by building off the thinking of his mentor, Dr. Cornelius Van Til, who himself was developing the implications of the Dutch school that began with Abraham Kuyper. In this episode of the Chalcedon Podcast, hosts Mark Rushdoony, Martin Selbrede, and Andrea Schwartz share a short history of the Dutch school as well as the implications of this philosophy on modern Christianity.

“Both liberties and powers are alike limited, under God, and hence under law. Liberty is limited and power is limited because the temporal order is under God.” (The One & The Many, p. 20) For fallen man, the political battle is always one of power vs liberty. Some men seek for liberty while the remaining seek for power. For example, anarchists and libertarians desire liberty while socialists, technocrats, politicians, and oligarchs seek for power. To seek power is to emphasize the “one,” while to seek liberty is to emphasize the “many.” This is an unresolvable conflict without God as the determining factor for both power and liberty, which is resolved in the law of God and the kingship of Christ. Therefore, both power and liberty are limited by law—God’s law. Part of the educational mission of Chalcedon is to restore this presupposition and further the development of its implications, and that’s the subject of this episode of The Chalcedon Podcast.

In Romans 12:2, the apostle Paul writes, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” The dynamic of New Covenant living is the radical pursuit of proving the will of God for every area of life, but does that mean the Old Testament prophets are obsolete? Quite the contrary, the whole of God’s Word is for us including the law and the prophets, one of the joys of Christian living is studying the entirety of Scripture in order to see its application for life and thought. In this episode of the Chalcedon Podcast, hosts Mark Rushdoony, Martin Selbrede, and Andrea Schwartz share insights on how we can better glean God’s good, acceptable, and perfect will of God from all of God’s Word
