"If we can build healthy families and raise our children as soldiers for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, I think we're halfway there."

"The Bible teaches the principle of subsidiarity, namely that all political and social matters should always be dealt with by the smallest, most immediate and most decentralized authority. Scripture is clear that caring for family members is primarily the duty of the family and clan itself, rather than that of the church (Acts 6:1-7). The Bible also teaches the principle of subsidiarity in Exodus 18, where Jethro advises Moses that even judicial matters which can be handled by the patriarchs of families themselves, should be managed as such. Civil authorities should only become involved in matters delegated to them by the clans or extended families. This is also why kin-rule is such a vital ecclesiastical and political principle integral to the biblical notion of subsidiarity."

"The Biblical faith concerning Jesus Christ involves and requires believing that He was raised from the dead in the same body which suffered crucifixion. Jesus Christ, by His resurrection, destroyed the power of sin and death. Moreover, He set forth His victory over the realms of both spirit and matter, conquering the enemy in every realm. If Jesus Christ had only risen from the dead as a spirit, as a ghost, then his only victory and his only saving power would be limited to the world of the spirit … It would mean that his people would be helpless against the powers of this world and without law and recourse in this world.

But, because Jesus Christ rose from the dead, He is Lord over all lords, King over all kings, the Lawgiver and supreme Governor of all things, material and spiritual … For this reason, from the days of the early church on, the Day of Resurrection has been a time of joy because it sets forth the certainty of victory in and through Jesus Christ …

We then, who are people of the resurrection, must live in the joy and the confidence of victory. This is our destiny, victory. Life is rarely easy, but with Christ our King, it is always good. We are generally in a battle, because the enemies are many, and the forces of evil real, but our victory has been assured and manifested by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."

- Rousas John Rushdoony

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

What do losers, cowards and Christ-haters have in common? They all live as if the rule of the antichrist is imminent.

Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274) on Familialism.

"The Church must see and understand itself as a conquering army. It needs to quit with the quivering cowardly mindset that sees it’s self as a victim locked up here with the Christian devouring world. It needs to own the mindset that pities the world because they are locked up in this world with us. It is the pagan and Christ-hater who is to be pitied.

It is our enemies who will be assimilated and their resistance is futile." - Rev Bret McAtee

Dabney on the division of nations by divine decree.

"The Bible speaks of brotherhood as a close and special bond - either spiritual (1 Thessalonians 4:9-10), physical (Romans 9:3), or both (Philemon verse 16) - whereas Liberalism's universalization of brotherhood robs the concept of any meaning and significance. Everyone is my brother, and no one is not my brother."

"It was nations, rather than individuals or families, who established and maintained Christendom through the ages and it was nations, rather than individuals or families, who brought the gospel to the world. It was only when European nations established themselves in North and South America, as well as Southern Africa and Australasia, that the gospel reached the millions of souls in these regions who had never before heard the Name of Jesus Christ. And it is precisely because nations play such an indispensable role in advancing Christ’s Kingdom that their distinct identities and cultures as well as their geographic and political boundaries ought to be not only respected, but cherished."

Solzenhitsyn on nations as generalized personalities designed by God.

"the man presiding over this department is a known liar himself.

Furthermore, Nina Jankowicz, who will be heading this so-called 'Disinformation Governance Board' is, rather unsurprisingly, a known liar as well."

"Now is precisely the right time for us as soldiers of Christ’s Kingdom to double down by intensifying our engagement in the culture war. The goal now should be to capitalize on this momentum and avoid making any concessions. We need to secure this victory by God’s grace and then move on to the next phase of the battle—for the glory of Christ our King!"

“In John 18:36 … Jesus was evidently using [the phrase] ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου in the same sense that He had used these very same words in the preceding chapter, when He said that the world hates Him and his disciples because they are not ‘of the world’ (John 17:14) … A better translation of Jesus’ words would be “not of the world” as opposed to “not of this world,” as He was referring to the unregenerate status of the vast majority of people who had rejected Him at the time rather than making a claim about the nature of His kingdom.”

"Liberalism has not changed since Groen's time. Revolutionary liberalism must proceed. The abuse of language must continue unabated. The politics of negation cannot stop. Having made Western man fit for maximal production and consumption—having formed mass man—the revolution shifts to sexual libertinism, women's liberation, racial equity, and the undoing of gender ... Thus, for the revolutionaries, 'the organic development of society' needs to be destroyed, writes Groen."

- Dr Stephen Wolfe, in his foreword to the first-ever English edition of Groen van Prinsterer's Vrijheid, Gelijkheid, Broederschap. Translated and annotated by the Pactum Institute's Dr Adi Schlebusch.

In his latest peer-reviewed academic publication, Dr Schlebusch argues that

"postmillennial eschatology has a unique potential to narratively decentre the status quo characterized by a lack of social cohesion, political conflict, corruption and infrastructural decline in favour of a narrative paradigm shift towards a long-term optimistic focus on the future as a time of prosperity and progress. By inciting a revitalized commitment to that future by means of moving away from political centralization and dependence on government through the application of the principle of subsidiarity, small yet strong and rooted confessional Christian communities can contribute to constructively reshaping the ... socio-political landscape."
