The Chalcedon Podcast

Contemporary views of eschatology have little to do with Christian ethics and responsibilities, but Biblical eschatology focuses on “end points” in history that deal with the end of what opposes God and is followed by the restoration of godly order.

Man’s end-of-the-world mentality refuses to believe history will continue beyond their time, and Christians are often guilty of insisting the end is near, resulting in a paralyzing of their duties. Christianity becomes unessential because societal concerns are irrelevant. Our expectations of the end are false, leaving us with a superficial faith.

Work is a central part of a faithful Christian life as one embraces and fulfills their dominion calling to labor six days regardless of the type of work they do. The Kingdom of God is the greater purpose work serves, and this purpose also extends to children.

Rushdoony wrote, “The goal of Babel was a radical unity against God and a unified social order… total community without God,” and fallen man continues his quest for modern Babels as “a substitute for Eden.” The results are always dystopian.

Unlike many theologians, Rushdoony devoted the last section of his two-volume “Systematic Theology” to the subject of prayer, and he was a devout practitioner of having a continual conversation with God as well as providing us with a deep analysis of Biblical prayer.

Rushdoony predicted much of what we’re contending with today but also proposed a solution in Christian Reconstruction. Our times offer great opportunities for those willing to apply their faith to every area of life.

Chalcedon began in 1965 for specific reasons and with a specific purpose that still governs our mission today. Listen in as Chalcedon’s leadership discusses its origins and the importance of our mission and message for the years ahead.

Man wants to build his “Canaan” but only creates continual hells. America itself worsens in its social and economic issues partly due to a retreat by evangelical churches who watch the decline from the sidelines and even participate in it. The same old wounds of class and racial hatred remain, and crime is on the rise. Is this not the time to return to God and His law?
