Governed by God

Part 1: Law of the Day - “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” (Lev. 18:22)

Part 2 (26:00) - I review and critique a portion of the most recent Bucks County Commissioner Meeting from June 2, 2021. The first ten minutes of the meeting involved a proclamation in support of LGBTQ+ Pride month. This proclamation was received by three individuals from the LGBTQ+ community. I point out the idolatry that is being celebrated, culminating in the flaunting of sin in the face of God. Ultimately, there is always a god of the system and there is always a law of that system. The question is: which god and which law?

Today I was joined by two men from Sattler College in Boston, Dean Taylor (President) and Zach Johnson (Dean of Students). I invited them onto the show to discuss the topic of Christian non-violence. While they advocated for that position, my friend and fellow military officer, Gordon Beecroft, joined me to defend a Christian view of justified violence (e.g. capital punishment, self-defense, and just war). Our discussion covered multiple areas, such as the application of God's law, the role of Christians as ambassadors for Christ, and the nature of God's Kingdom. While we could not cover every significant area, this discussion serves as a starting point that we hope will be useful for all Christians who wish to dive deeper into understanding their role in this world.

To contact either Dean or Zach with any questions, please reach out to them through the Sattler College website.

If the stolen beast is found alive in his possession, whether it is an ox or a donkey or a sheep, he shall pay double.” (Exodus 22:2-4)

Part I: Law of the Day - “Now Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep the whole commandment that I command you today. And on the day you cross over the Jordan to the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you shall set up large stones and plaster them with plaster. And you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you cross over to enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you. And when you have crossed over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, concerning which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. And there you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. You shall wield no iron tool on them; you shall build an altar to the LORD your God of uncut stones. And you shall offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God, and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and shall eat there, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God. And you shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.” (Deut. 27:1-8)

Part I: Law of the Day - “Then Moses wrote this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. And Moses commanded them, “At the end of every seven years, at the set time in the year of release, at the Feast of Booths, when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God at the place that he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Assemble the people, men, women, and little ones, and the sojourner within your towns, that they may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, and be careful to do all the words of this law, and that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.” (Deut. 31:9-13)
