R.J. Rushdoony: ‘Biblical “Guidance”‘

They claim higher spiritual “guidance,” too.

R.J. Rushdoony was absolutely right on target in this essay which he published back in 1975 in The California Farmer.

Here’s the quote that jumps out at me: “To bypass God’s plain commandments in the name of some higher guidance means to commune with one’s own self to justify a course of action obviously condemned by Scripture.” How would one even begin to describe the gravity of such a sin?

He didn’t live to see churches performing “gay marriages,” but it wouldn’t have surprised him. Really–what could be more wicked, or more absurd, than claiming to have received a special dose of “divine guidance” that lets you break God’s plainly stated moral law?

He didn’t live to see “Clergy for Choice,” either.

I think if you’re claiming that God told you it’s all right to promote abortion, you’re in for a really bad time in the afterlife.

‘The Exaltation of a People’

R.J. Rushdoony wrote this little essay for “The California Farmer” in 1978, and it’s still true today–as anyone can see, if he looks.

His text is Proverbs 14:34, “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”

It’s getting late in the day for America to wake up to this truth. Pray that we do–soon.

‘The Stolen Church’

R.J. Rushdoony wrote this essay for The California Farmer back in 1967; and what he saw then has become painfully clearer now, 51 years later.

And this, mind you, was before there were any Clergy for Choice, goddess worship workshops, transgender preachers, and “gay marriages” blasphemously performed under the church’s roof.

I think he saw it coming.

Rushdoony on ‘Lawless Law’

This is another one of those little gems R.J. Rushdoony wrote for “The California Farmer,” this one published in 1972–and still sharply relevant today.

These days, we wonder why our laws don’t seem to protect us: why our plethora of gun laws, for instance, doesn’t protect us from school shootings.

“If men are not godly,” Rushdoony wrote, “the best-intentioned laws can serve ungodly and lawless ends.” Makes me think of our so-called immigration laws. Character is more important than any written law.

If people aren’t motivated to obey the laws… they won’t. And you can count on them to twist the laws around for purposes that were never intended when the laws were passed.

R.J. Rushdoony wrote this little essay for The California Farmer back in 1976, and it reads like it could’ve been penned just yesterday. Man, some things never change!

It’ll only take you a minute or two to read, and then you tell me: Did he nail it, or what?
