In Matthew 12:30 Jesus said, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." Only after a century of religious pluralism are we starting to see Jesus left no room for secularism in this statement. As Christians, we know our duty. When committing to that duty we often hear Joshua 24:15 quoted when he said, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
But as we all know it's not that easy. We may want Christ but it seems like most of the culture wants Chaos.
Well known for his work in Theonomy, Dr. Greg Bahnsen said of his mentor, "Dr. Van Til taught us that “There is no alternative but that of theonomy and autonomy” (Christian-Theistic Ethics, p. 134). Every ethical decision assumes some final authority or standard, and that will either be self-law (“autonomy”) or God’s law (“theonomy”). While unbelievers consider themselves the ultimate authority in determining moral right or wrong, believers acknowledge that God alone has that position and prerogative."
On today's podcast we'll scratch the surface on the question of Theonomy. Can Theonomy be applied in our culture? Did we once have a nation based on Theonomy? What would theonomy mean for unbelievers in America?
