Paul Axton preaches - Human sinfulness is defined in Galatians as an incapacity to question a perverse orientation to the Law. This is exemplified by Mike Pompeo's rejection of critical race theory as potentially a questioning of the law that could bring down the country, yet Paul's picture is that the Jewish law is hostile and exclusive and Christianity resolves this hostility.

Paul Axton Preaches - The God of the philosophers, the God of the law, the God of Christendom, and scientism is dead and to desire to return through fascism, right-wing fundamentalism, or nationalism is on the order of Israel desiring to return to Egypt, or a fall back into idolatry and law. In Christ we can face the desert of a world of lost meaning.

Paul Axton Preaches - The parameters of philosophy can be laid out along the lines of Paul's depiction of the subject. In the subject focused on the "law of the mind," the legal, philosophical order holds out life. With the focus on the ego there is a questioning of philosophy and law and the pointer to fullness in Christ alone.
