For He Must Reign

Should we bother with political issues, social issues, cultural issues, elections, justice and all those sorts of things or should we just worry about preaching the Gospel? How big is the Gospel? Does it have something to say about government, elections, ilnesses, socialism, marxism, racism and all those other dirty isms, or are those just destractions from the Christian walk? Should be bother studying the deep theological issues of scripture, and how it applies to these things, or is that missing the point and greater calling to love Jesus? In this episodd, Treebeard seeks to answer these questions from the Bible. Hope you are blessed by this.

Welcome back! In this episode Treebeard lays out the reformed docterine of Sphere Soveriegnty and how it relates to issues facing Quebec and Canada today! Sphere Soverignty is the Kuyperian docterine that divides governance under God into the 3 main categories of Family, Church & Civil. God who is soverign over all things has delegated certain responsibilities to certain spheres of government. Each of these spheres are ultimately accountable to Him, and must not go beyond the boundaries set by Him. Underneath all of these realms of government is the concept of Self Government, which is the most necessary and foundational piece for the entire system of Sphere Sovereignty to function. In the latter half of the episode, we will take a look at Romans 13:1-7 and verse by verse explore a proper and Christian understanding of the sphere or civil governance. Hope this truly blesses you.

Continuing our discussion on worldview, this week TreeBeard delves into the subject of apologetics and explores the devastating question: By What Standard? We introduce the subject of epistemology (the study of knowledge), and examine the 5 most common epistomolical theories held today, namely empiricism, rationalism, pragmatism, fideism and revelationalism and how they stand up against the question "by what standard?" I hope you are thoroughly blessed by this episode, thanks for listening! Pro Rege!

Continuing on our discussion from last week, your host TreeBeard lays out a side by side comparison of Government given the presuppositions of a Christian worldview vs Government given the presuppositions of a secular worldview. Enjoy and feel free to shoot any questions to Matthew Mannucci via Facebook Messenger! :)

What is a Worldview? Why does it matter? Worldview actually detemines EVERYTHING we think, say and do. It is our framework of assumptions about the world. The lens by which we take in and respond to everything around us. Join me as I break down what a biblical worldview is, cross examine it against a secular worldview and explain why its so important to get this right. Pro rege!

Does the Gospel just affect the hearts of men or is it bigger than that?
