"As inhabitants of God’s creation, the demons also act covenantally (hence the idea of 'pacts' with the devil). Idolatry and occultism involve explicit covenants/pacts with demons, and these covenants give the demons a 'legal right' to enter and torment individuals."

Excellent stuff from one of Pactum's partners, Dominion Reformed Fellowship in Minerva, Ohio.

One of the pamphlets Pactum is distributing in Zululand this week.

"All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord" (Psalm 22:27)

English translation of the pamphlet:

"Jesus alone is the way to salvation (John 14: 6, Acts 4:12), while idolatry and apostasy lead to death and condemnation (1 Corinthians 6: 9). Only in submission to Jesus Christ can the Zulu nation prosper (II Chronicles 7:14).

Jesus is the King of the Universe and he demands complete and complete obedience to his sovereignty.

Jesus does not tolerate the following:
- Ancestor worship (Deuteronomy 18: 9-14)
- Sexual immorality (polygamy, adultery) (Matthew 19: 9; 1 Corinthians 6: 9)
- Bribery (Exodus 23:8 )
- Drunkenness (Ephesians 5:18)
- Murder (Exodus 20:13)
- Or stealing (Exodus 20:15)

Jesus wants your complete obedience and submission to His authority in all aspects of your life (II Corinthians 10: 5). So repent, believe the gospel and dedicate your whole life to the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ."

If you haven't yet, please follow Pactum's YouTube channel. We have a conference in South Africa next weekend, God willing, and we need 20 more followers to be able to livestream the lectures to our channel.

The Pactum Institute is dedicated to aiding parents in their calling to train up their children in accordance with God's will. In this regard we recommend The Christendom Curriculum, a Bible-based homeschool curriculum grounded in Culture Warfare and Long-Term Victory.

We have also launched a new project in collaboration with Daniel Brannan art: producing an illustrated children's book series aimed at introducing covenantal children to the core truths of the Reformed Christian faith.

This weekend the Pactum Institute will be co-hosting a worldview seminar near Pretoria in South Africa. Most of the lectures during the seminar will be in Afrikaans (including dr Schlebusch's lectures on epistemology and anthropology, as well as our research associate, Francois van Deventer's lecture on defining a worldview). However, our lectures will be translated into English, and the translated text will be published on the Pactum website shortly after the seminar.

Nonetheless, the main speaker at the seminar will be professor Mark Kreitzer, who is an American, and his lectures will be in English. You are welcome to watch the live broadcast (video livestream) of his 4 lectures on the Pactum Institute Youtube Channel.
Here are professor Kreitzer's lectures along with the times they will be broadcast live on our Youtube Channel (Central Time- CT):

This week, the Pactum Institute brings you a series of lectures delivered during a worldview conference we co-hosted this past weekend.

In today's lecture, professor Mark Kreitzer discusses the role of nations, cultures and ethnicities in the eschatological redemption of the world.

Are they speaking in tongues? No, the Pactum Institute's Francois van Deventer is simply briefly introducing professor Kreitzer's lecture in Afrikaans. In today's lecture, professor Kreitzer explains the importance of a consistently Christian worldview in the fight against Neo-Marxism.

"It is very discouraging to see Dreher having to go to such lengths to purposefully misrepresent the Hungarian Prime Minister’s words in order to appease the Marxist Left, as this seriously hurts his credentials as an expert on Central European politics."

"A worldview shapes how we act in the world—not only as individuals, but as societies. If you don’t maintain a Christian worldview, you will be destroyed."
- Pactum Institute research associate, Francois van Deventer

"One implication of the denial of God’s transcendence is the loss of objective truth and meaning. Without the transcendence of God then there is no point of reference by which we can have meaningful meaning or can approach defining the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Unless we have a God that is outside of us who by that outsided-ness becomes the transcendent point of reference then we are blind people stumbling around in the pitch dark seeking to see."

- Pactum Institute research fellow, Rev Bret McAtee

"The Darwinist view that man is an evolutionary product of nature also has decisive socialist political implications, since man as a product of his environment is of course also seen as a product of his political environment, as opposed to the Christian view where the political life logically flows out of the cultural mandate of Genesis 1:28." - Dr Adi Schlebusch

Our researchers are gaining more and more international renown by the day. The Pactum Institute is proud to be associated with Rev Bret L McAtee.

"Abolishing property taxes and expanding private property is, in my view, the key to not only economic, but political liberty for clans and nations. Right-wing libertarians such as Hans-Hermann Hoppe has rightly noted:

'[When] all land is privately owned, including all streets, rivers, airports, harbors etc … there exists no such thing as freedom of immigration ...'"

"In any public setting, the very presence of drag queens is an utter abomination, but specifically indoctrinating children with this filth is nothing short of utterly satanic."

"Christ is teaching that whoever puts away their spouse so as to free themselves up to get with another is committing adultery through seemingly legal channels, and whoever marries a spouse put away for this purpose is therefore complicit in adultery. This is because such remarriages, in making remediation and reconciliation impossible, infringe upon the first marriage."
- Dr Adi Schlebusch

"[A]ll of history is characterized by a covenantal dichotomy between faith and unbelief, in which the former represents that which is godly, good, and true, and the latter that which is evil and false. All of history, politics, and society is the battleground between faith and unbelief - a battle in which the Christian is called to engage with a confidence in the inevitability of Christ's victory over the seed of the serpent."
- Dr Adi Schlebusch (annotation 93, page 128).
