He emphasizes that morality and life are inseparable: without faith and a commitment to God, ethical principles erode, leaving society vulnerable. Only a vigorous, pro-life Christian faith, grounded in action and obedience to God, can restore vitality and counter the pervasive cultural drift toward death, immorality, and decay.

The pursuit of a risk-free life is a dangerous illusion. Without risk, there can be no victory, responsibility, growth, or freedom. Attempts to eliminate risk always destroy liberty and replace it with control, dependency, and tyranny while creating far greater dangers in the process.

Freedom necessarily involves moral risk, accountability, and consequences. To deny risk is to deny justice, causality, and ultimately God’s moral order. A society that fears risk abandons discipline, courage, and responsibility and inevitably trades the risks of freedom for the far worse risks of slavery.

In 1139, the Lateran Council condemned the crossbow as too deadly for Christian warriors, yet the weapon soon became a standard of warfare because yesterday’s fears rarely stop tomorrow’s progress. The same fear of change that paralyzed men then still cripples many today, making us shrink from the blessings and challenges God has prepared for the future. Yet Scripture promises that “all things work together for good to them that love God” (Romans 8:28). When we trust the sovereign Lord who ordains every tomorrow, we need not dread what lies ahead each day, no matter how difficult, serves His holy purpose and leads us to victory. To fear tomorrow is to fear the life God has given; walk by faith instead, and discover that every dawn is on the side of the faithful. #FearingTomorrow #Romans828 #GodsSovereignPlan

In “The New War on Religion,” Rushdoony argues that the conflict over Christian schools is not about educational quality but about religious control, marking an open war between humanism and Christianity. State schools, he contends, function as religious institutions teaching secular humanism the faith of man as his own god while accreditation and “minimum standards” are tools to impose a single, humanistic culture and suppress Biblical conviction. The Ohio battles revealed that education is inescapably religious, neutrality is a myth, and state control seeks conformity, not excellence. Courts, Rushdoony notes, increasingly recognize this as a clash of faiths, protecting Christian resistance only where obedience to Christ is shown to be a matter of conviction, not preference. At stake is nothing less than the future of the church, education, and the nation itself: whoever wins the educational battle will shape the culture and the coming generations.

In the Bible, every new month and every new year was a festival, a holy day consecrated to God, not to nature or human schemes. While pagans marked time by the sun and seasons, the Hebrews celebrated time as God’s sovereign gift, numbering years from creation, months from His deliverance, and days from His faithfulness. The Christian calendar continues this tradition: we date our history Anno Domini, “in the year of our Lord,” because time belongs to Jesus Christ, not to revolutions or five-year plans. The French and Russian Revolutions tried to seize control of time, only to fail miserably man cannot be god over the calendar. Yet the believer can joyfully greet each new day, month, season, or year with confidence, knowing time is not our enemy but God’s servant, unfolding His perfect purpose and frustrating every modern Tower of Babel. Time works for the godly and against the ungodly, for the Creator alone governs it. #FestivalOfTime #AnnoDomini #TimeBelongsToGod

Fear inevitably betrays itself, and one of its most common disguises is flight, whether in Cain’s literal running from God or in the more sophisticated evasions of those who loudly denounce doctors, psychiatrists, churches, or ministers as a way of avoiding confrontation with their own sickness, guilt, and fear. Such sweeping condemnations are not honest convictions but smokescreens, masking a deeper terror of life, death, and ultimately of God Himself, whose truth they resent because it exposes what they would rather not face. As long as man lives apart from God, fear dogs his steps and no false refuge intellectual, religious, or emotional can dispel it; flight only deepens the shadow. There is no escape from God by running, only by turning, finding repentance and forgiveness in Jesus Christ, and making refuge in Him as Creator and Redeemer, for there alone fear is silenced and true peace is found.

We can soar across oceans or even touch the moon, yet no one can leap over time neither backward to relive childhood nor forward to escape today’s trials. Longing for peaceful yesterdays or a trouble-free tomorrow is futile, for God gives us time one moment at a time, in perfect sequence, as both a test and an opportunity. Time is our life’s true wealth: it cannot be hoarded, traded, or skipped. Moses prayed, “Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Psalm 90:12), and Paul urged us to redeem the time in these evil days (Ephesians 5:16). Only when we invest each day in God’s service does time multiply its value here and for eternity. Instead of dreaming of escaping time, let us embrace it as His precious gift and live it fully for Him. #RedeemTheTime #NumberYourDays #GodsGiftOfTime

In “Humanism and Christ’s Kingdom,” Rushdoony argues that modern humanistic statism is waging a covert but aggressive war against Christ’s Kingdom by redefining freedom as state permission and justice as mere legality, using regulation, licensure, taxation, and “public policy” to control churches, Christian schools, families, and even parental instruction. Under the guise of civil rights and humanitarian concern, the state asserts sovereignty over education, faith, and morality—claims Rushdoony identifies as a revival of ancient Baalism and modern fascism, where the state becomes god walking on earth. This assault is intensified not only by statist elites but also by cowardly churchmen who justify surrender and reject the Biblical mandate to obey God rather than men. The conflict is irreducibly religious and total: Christ or Caesar, theonomy or autonomy. Neutrality is impossible, retreat is apostasy, and surrender forfeits the crown rights of King Jesus, whose lordship alone defines true liberty, justice, and life.

Concerns about “book banning” in U.S. schools are often misrepresented; parents may object to certain books for moral or educational reasons, while libraries promote works aligned with humanistic perspectives, but true censorship prohibiting publication altogether does not exist here; freedom means the right to choose, and defending that choice requires respecting others’ freedom to make their own selections. #FreedomOfChoice #Education #ParentalRights #IntellectualFreedom #BookSelection
