A vision of freedom and world-transformation
By Joel McDurmon
Sometime around AD 405, a sixteen year-old boy strolling the English seaside was attacked by pirates. They kidnapped him and sold him on the slave market to a chieftain in Northern Ireland who forced him to herd pigs. The young man endured filth, the elements, separation from family, and years of servitude.
Do Biblical men party hard or save women?
As the article below notes, we live in an increasingly immature culture, and we have a Church that is trying to change to appeal to these childish adults instead of a Church committed to holding the line on maturity and calling people to the true vision of God’s Church and its responsibility in the world. As noted near the end, Biblical manhood and Biblical womanhood are key to the true purpose of the Church. Learn more about Biblical manhood and Biblical womanhood at ChristianGovernance’s exciting Titanic 2011-Women and Children First banquet on Friday. April 15th in Ottawa. Feature speaker is Kevin Swanson and feature entertainer is concert pianist, Calvin Jones. Click here to learn more and to order your tickets for this banquet where you will be invigorated and blessed with a message of truth and vision.
John Locke exempted atheists from the civil protection of toleration
Excerpt from “Secular Religious Ideology Gone Mad,” by Gary DeMar.
Oaths and affirmations were deemed important to many of the founders since they bound a person’s word to a higher authority beyond the sanctions of mere mortals who have no jurisdiction over the soul. For example, in his Essay on Toleration (1685), John Locke exempted atheists from the civil protection of toleration when it came to holding political office by arguing that an atheist who denies that God exists could not be expected to tolerate what he believes to be a myth:
A biblical view of private property
Excerpt from “A Biblical View of Private Property”…
Since the family is the primary institution whereby the Dominion Covenant is to be extended, laws were given to protect the property of families. The Jubilee laws of Leviticus 25 insured a family that it would always have land so that dominion could be exercised. Property could not be taxed. Even the father could not dispossess his family from the land because of carelessness, poor stewardship, or debt. Fathers were instructed to lay up an inheritance for their children so that the work of dominion under God could continue.

The Power of Giving a Book
By Joel McDurmon
It all started with one book. When Bojidar’s missionary pastor left his Bulgarian town, all he left behind was a couple audio tapes and a copy of one book, Ken Gentry’s He Shall Have Dominion. Ken’s book is still, perhaps, the best one-stop exposition of the postmillennial, optimistic, dominion-oriented biblical worldview available. It has changed many lives, including Bojidar’s. After this, he wanted to hear more about optimism and biblical law.
