August 31st, 2011 | By admin

Live Call Topic: “Should Christian’s Stand Up Against the Evils of Society With the Gospel?”

On this call, I will be interviewing Rusty Lee Thomas from Elijah Ministries. Rusty is the author of “The Kingdom Leadership Institute Manual” and has been taking the Gospel of the Kingdom to the streets for over 20 years. He’s also a leader in “Operation Save America”.

The topic of the discussion is “Should Christian’s Stand Up Against the Evils of Society With the Gospel?” Rusty will be discussing the theological mandate for standing against the evils of our day, particularly with the public proclamation of the gospel.

If Christ is really King…

August 25th, 2011 | By admin

“If Christ is really king, exercising original and immediate jurisdiction over the State as really as he does over the church, it follows necessarily that the general denial or neglect of his rightful lordship, any prevalent refusal to obey that Bible which is the open law-book of his kingdom, must be followed by political and social as well as moral and religious ruin.

If professing Christians are unfaithful to the authority of their Lord in their capacity as citizens of the State, they cannot expect to be blessed by the indwelling of the Holy Ghost in their capacity as members of the church. The kingdom of Christ is one, and cannot be divided in life or in death. If the Church languishes, the State cannot be in health; and if the State rebels against its Lord and King, the Church cannot enjoy his favour.

If the Holy Ghost is withdrawn from the Church, he is not present in the State; and if he, the only “Lord, the Giver of life” be absent, then all order is impossible, and the elements of society lapse backward to primeval night and chaos . . . I charge you, citizens of the United States, afloat on your wide sea of politics, there is another king, one Jesus: the safety of the State can be secured only in the way of humble and whole-souled loyalty to His person and of obedience to His Law.”

New Article: Are Christians Called to Stand Against Tyranny?

August 23rd, 2011 | By admin

What is tyranny and why is it so relevant to Christians?

Tyranny can be defined as “oppressive government or rule”. Even more simply, it’s any government or person that rules according to man-made laws. Man-made laws always leads to abusive, ungodly power which restricts freedom and causes nations and people to put man (or the state) in the place of God.

Where tyranny exists, freedom is always eventually quenched. The freedom’s that come from God’s law become negated when tyrannical rulers govern a nation. Very simply, “BIG government” and God’s law are polar opposites and cannot coexist without one nullifying the other.

America was founded as a “Republic” which is based on limited law and minimal government, leaving room for maximum freedom for the individual…
