Justice In His Kingdom

The Pierre Viret Learning Center is a Christian education institution in Mexico. It is presently facing down a hostile Mexican Government. Justice in His Kingdom co-host Roger Oliver, who has been director of the Center for many years, will tell us the story of the school's confrontation with the humanist Mexican government. Also, Nathan Conkey, who worked with Roger will join us to give us his thoughts and insights. Nathan lives in Northern Ireland but has worked supporting missions and Christian education in Mexico, West Africa, East Africa, and Korea.

This episode covers the newly released, posthumous book by R. J. Rushdoony “Sermons in Zephaniah, Haggai & Zechariah,” published by the Chalcedon Foundation.

Rousas John Rushdoony (1916-2001) was a minister best known through his extensive literary output. His writings cover a broad spectrum of subjects because his belief was that every area of life and thought should be understood in terms of a world view that assumes God’s Word is both true and authoritative. He is best known for leadership role in Christian education (day and homeschool), his revival of theonomy (Biblical law), and Christian Reconstruction (a term he coined to denote a neglected aspect of the Christian responsibility and response to sin in the culture.)

A former teacher in Christian schools for almost two decades, Mark Rushdoony has also served for 14 years as the director of a K-8 School. For over 30 years he has been with Chalcedon, a non-profit organization started by his father that promotes the belief of the supremacy of God's Word in all matters of life. When his father, Rousas John Rushdoony passed away, Mark succeeded him in 1998 as president of Chalcedon and Ross House Books, a subsidiary of Chalcedon that publishes books about Christian Reconstruction. He is the editor-in-chief of Faith for All of Life, Chalcedon's monthly magazine, and travels widely as a well-respected pastor and speaker.

Martin G. Selbrede is the Vice-President of the Chalcedon Foundation and senior researcher for the organization’s ongoing work of Christian scholarship. He has written numerous articles, essays, and position papers for such publications as Faith for All of Life, the Chalcedon Report, and The Journal of Christian Reconstruction. He has traveled extensively to speak on behalf of Christian Reconstruction and the Chalcedon Foundation and is considered one of the foremost experts in the thinking of R. J. Rushdoony.

 In this episode of Justice in His Kingdom, Roger Oliver and Jerri Lynn Ward interview the three authors of this especially important book analyzing the response of the church during the Covid19 lockdowns. The authors are Ernest Springer, III, BS, Joel E. Yeager, MD, and Daniel O’Roark, D.O., FACC.

Mr. Springer is the Founder & Trustee of Old Paths Publications, Inc.. Dr. Joel E. Yeager is a Diplomate of the American Board of Family Medicine and the proprietor of Heritage Family Health, PC in Newmanstown, Pennsylvania. Dr. Daniel O'Roark is a cardiologist at Callad CVA Heart Institute in Tennessee.

These men found each other when the furor over Covid19 started and collaborated on the book that is the title of this podcast.

The book lays “out for the Christian the response of Church leadership as they attempted, with both compassion and good intent, to command a response by God’s people to its actions and directives. Within the scope of the following chapters we will see how the Scripture, the Confessions, church history, medical science, and governmental influence all affect and demand a prioritized evaluation and Biblical response as to faith and life. In doing so this work will hopefully serve as a primer and guide for the future of the Christian Church as they seek to obey the Sovereign God rather than man.”

The book can be found at Lulu.com in paperback and as an e-book. It can also be found at Amazon. Dr. Yeager has additional information and resources in this section of his website. Dr. O’Roark has a 15 month compilation of essays, medical resources and editorials presenting evidence against the mainstream Covid narrative here. Mr. Springer's Old Paths Publishing has a Facebook page here.

The authors have also been interviewed on the podcast Iron Sharpens Iron in a 3 part series: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

Tim lives in the county where he was born and raised and always lived with his wife Deborah. He has been a serial entrepreneur for over 4 decades and a dedicated mentor to others.

At the local level, where Tim's real passion resides, he and other local Christians have developed processes for (1) the care of widows and seeking to recover that care back within the framework of the family; (2) the care of abused women and children from inside the religious world (mostly Protestant) including immediate care, housing, Biblically-based counseling, job training, work opportunities, etc. (3) helping rescue victims of sex trafficking by working on the ground and with legal teams, (4) the creation of an adoption program where the goal is that all abandoned babies throughout their North Alabama area will find permanent acceptance within a committed Christian family, and (5) supporting orphans in a variety of applications.
