Judgement Day is non-optional. Every human exudes the demand for judgement in their everyday lives; to pretend that there is no righteous standard, and to protect that an account of one’s need will not be called, is to deny one’s one every day human existence. Judgement is obvious — we do it every day. When we are judged there will not be any surprises.

It was Thanksgiving yesterday and we had a quiet dinner at home, just the four of us.  Our two older children are on their own nowadays and so things are less rambunctious than a decade ago.

Somehow our conversation got around to talking about God, which isn’t a surprise in our Christian family, especially since I have a passionate interest in the truly deep questions.

And so I started talking about the Judgement Day.  You stand alone before your Maker and give account for your life.  Pretty scary stuff — at least is for me when I think of my own mortality and shortcomings.  I think it is natural to focus on that.

The Judgement Day really isn’t mysterious. No one will show up and say “gee whiz, God, I wished someone would have told me what I was going to be judged on.”  

Everyone knows what they are supposed to do in life.

When I came of voting age I voted for Ronald Reagan. Later I voted for Bill Clinton.  After that I realized both parties campaigned one way and ruled another.  I dabbled in Libertarian ideology and voted for Ron Paul.  None of this, of course, made any difference and our country slid constantly toward the precipice.   

I was enamored, for a while, with the idea of a system safe for all — accepting the various beliefs, and perhaps moralities, of everyone, while creating a solid structure for all.

The course of our country forced me to think deeply about this; and I concluded that it wasn’t possible.  And I was forced to think mostly deeply on what is most important — an earthly order to accommodate us all (not an ignoble goal), or was there something deeper.  

I was forced to the foundations of my life. If God be God, then all the earth should obey him.  And I gave up the idea of a “neutral” structure in which we could all get along.  I do not believe that is possible, although at one time I spent some effort thinking about how to make this work.

Once having resolved that, I have pursued thinking about how to create a new nation states that serve the King, Jesus Christ.

Nations are bloodlines — they are the natural God ordained social order.
A family (Man and wife and children) are the foundation of a bloodline.
Extend that bloodline and you have clan, tribe and nation. Kith and Kin. …

Without God, the West is Not

Regardless of what one thinks of Whittaker Chambers, this letter succinctly reflects the condition of the West in the 1950s, which held to forms produced by a Christian, while denying its source.

Combine Chamber’s thoughts with Alexis de Tocqueville (“America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great”) and you have a pretty good idea why this country cannot arrest it’s slide into the morass.]

Today the dominant narrative is that Christianity is the enemy. Just imagine that.

Add to these witnesses Alexander Solvenityn’s indictment of Western Culture with his Harvard Commencement speech and one cannot say that we have not been warned.
