A New Hope
The King’s Heart: The Kingdom of God and Civil Government (3)
Our readings this month are from the book, The King’s Heart: The Kingdom of God and Civil Government. Here is a brief reading from page 20:
“[T]o the devoted secularist, the committed materialist, and the cultural elites whose wellbeing depends on the gullibility of the masses—maintained by the skillful wielding of the sword of men—exposing and denouncing the idols and false hopes of our secular culture will be received as a provocation deserving stiff resistance. The Sword of the Spirit will clash with the sword of men over the question of mankind’s great hope, and we must be prepared to stand firm, taking the Sword of the Spirit joyfully into every arena of life. Like Paul, we must embrace the Christian hope and live and proclaim it boldly, knowing as we do, that conflict with our contemporaries is inevitable, and cannot be healed or averted by political means.”
