Four Corners Feast

It is a truth universally acknowledged by any people in possession of sound reason, that the human heart naturally inclines toward the tangible and material. If we are, as Natural Law teaches, to order our lives according to logic, tradition, and the common good, then visible, inherited forms of worship that are rooted in our sacred heritage, are not only permissible but essential. Consider the ancient Israelites, so often misrepresented by modern moralists for their adoption of the worship practices of their neighbors. Seen through the lens of Natural Law, they were not rebels but guardians of patrimony, protectors of the faith of their fathers, and heirs of the Great Tradition. Many of their so-called “foreign” neighbors (Edomites, Moabites, Ammonites) were not outsiders at all but kin, bound by blood and soil, and by the natural affections that arise from shared ancestry.

Every so often, a black circle would be lowered into the tank, and a seemingly invisible force would scoop up a fish, and drag them to the surface. This would terrify the rest of the fish and the tank would explode with activity, but with nowhere to ...

  The rise of Theonomy and Dominionism among a growing segment of modern Christianity is cause for concern. More and more people are being seduced by these unbiblical beliefs and are marching toward a expectation and future that simply can't be supported when you look around at the world today.  The appeal to an abrogated Old Testament is especially bad. Jesus taught regularly that the adherence to the Old Law was "leaven" and taught that love had superseded the violent and insensitive laws of the Old Order.  Since this theology is becoming so prevalent, with new interests in theonomy and republishing of out-of-print book such as "Theonomy in Christian Ethics" I decided that I needed to show the top 3 reasons why you should avoid theonomy.  1) It depends too much on scripture. Theonomists are far too dependent upon the word of God to be trusted. Whenever you try and bring an objection against them they typically respond with a bible verse. This can usually be re...
