A quote video featuring an excerpt from Dr. J.A. Schlebusch's book, "Assailing the Gates of Hell."

Soldiers of Christ must arise in these evil days and take the fight to the forces of darkness. Standing firm and fearless in our faith, knowing that in Christ we are more than conquerors—and that He has given His true church the power to tear down the very strongholds of the enemies of truth and righteousness.

In light of continuing debates on epistemology, it is important to stay informed with regard to the latest scholarship:

"Even those who reject the philosophy of Presuppositionalism should recognize that it does successfully point out what even leading atheistic theorists of the post-secular now admit, namely that civic legislation itself necessarily requires a lawgiver whose legislative authority is publicly recognized and respected (Habermas, 2017:25; Sinnot-Armstrong, 2009:100).

The Presuppositionalist notion of theocracy as inescapable can be most useful in terms of enriching the post-secular understanding of the role of religion in the public domain, especially in terms of clarifying what theorists of the post-secular have termed the 'blurring of the boundaries between the secular and religious' (Momberg,
Granholm & Nyäs, 2012:2) as well as contributing to the development of
new frameworks in contemporary discussions on religion in public life, which are still characterized by
'competing understandings of key terms such as religion, secularism, secularization and the post-secular' (May, Wilson,
Baumgart-Ochse & Skeikh, 2014:331).

Furthermore, it successfully challenges what is now widely recognized as unsatisfactory notions of secularity which often simplistically equates it with a non-theistic worldview (Domingo, 2016:12)."

"Each in our own way, the peoples of the West must recover our authorities, chiefly the authority of God ... Anti-revolution in our time needs to be pro-renewal"
- Stephen Wolfe (in his foreword to Adi Schlebusch's translation of Groen van Prinsterer's Liberty, Equality, Fraternity).

"One of the pre-eminent ways in which God judges a wicked and apostate nation is by submitting it to the rule of pagans (Deuteronomy 28:36-37) and foreigners (Deuteronomy 28:43-44). This is evidently what is happening to the United Kingdom and most other Western nations. That being said, having someone who practices a religion as demonic as Hinduism in the highest office in the land is a particularly severe judgment."

Hoedemakerianism > Kuyperianism.

In his latest scholarly paper, dr. Schlebusch argues that:

"Hoedemaker’s anti-revolutionary idea of theonomy, that is, his conviction that the Bible provides the absolute moral standard for all spheres of society in all times and contexts, was more decisively and more consistently anti-liberal than the religious pluralism famously advocated by the Neo-Calvinists Bavinck or Kuyper."

"The Pactum Institute therefore calls for increased beef consumption as a means of defying the globalist, environmentalist idolatry which underlies the anti-beef agenda."
