Let’s talk about the reality of where American politics are going. We know that no one is interested in turning back to the God who made us. They are all serving various false gods. The genuine spiritual outlook is missing, and cannot be put back into the situation. All we have left are various man-made…

Readiness Orders
Fundamental concept: The primary means of God’s wrath is self-destruction. When people reject divine revelation, they rush down into the mouth of Hell. It seems quite the pleasant ride until you hit the bottom. It’s not that He doesn’t bring down fire from Heaven from time to time, but that allowing people to hang themselves,…
The Promised Home
What separates us from any activist individual or group is that we don’t expect things to change. We aren’t in it for the results. We are in it for God’s glory. We have a mission for His glory; only He can change the human situation. He is the only source of change within each of…
Mission of Dissent 01
First, let’s establish this is merely my mission, my plans and expectations. You need to develop your own. Further, feel free to share your perspective on anything I mention here. Let’s compare notes. Second, this subject is necessarily contextual. What affects and afflicts me may not be a problem for you. However, if you happen…
The Practice of Neighboring
Psalm 119 celebrates the revelation of God. It refers to the Word as the ultimate privilege, the freedom to live as God made us. It allows us to walk away from bondage to darkness. When David used the term “the Law” it was a reference to the Ancient Near Eastern conception of law as the…
Fleshly Politics
Our current social and political trends avoid the obvious: A strong and stable nation requires a shared identity. Whether you like it or not, humans are fundamentally tribal. It’s not a question of whether tribalism is good or bad; it just is. The only question is settling on the fundamental identity of the tribe. Taking…
Sharing the Gospel
Radix Fidem is not for everyone. With the Radix Fidem community, we have no pretense of defining what it means to follow Christ universally. We define what it means for us. This is the path we will take, and we will be glad to have anyone come alongside at whatever distance is comfortable. It is…
We Need You
Jesus said His Covenant law was that we should love each other as He did. If we make it a doctrine that the Covenant of Christ is feudal and tribal, then it should also be doctrine that we work toward learning how to love each other better. We must become a tribe, an extended household…
Democracy Is a Lie from Hell
There is a compelling reason why Scripture puts such a heavy emphasis on the shepherd image of manhood: God expects His followers to keep on eye on the sheep of His pasture. He most certainly does delegate that task. You know that Paul kept insisting he didn’t volunteer to be an apostle, but Christ commanded…
Academic Faith
This blog tends to be academic in approach. However, it’s an academic approach to faith in Christ. As a reminder, “faith” refers to your feudal submission to Jesus as Lord. A synonym is “commitment”. Properly, the word “religion” means your response to grace and election. It’s the sum of human activities that express your faith…
