"This little book introduces Christians to a new way of thinking about the world around them-a positive, optimistic way of thinking." This little book is about victory. Not just victory over indwelling sin in each regenerate person's heart, but victory over the effects of sin in every area of lif…
Chapters 21-24 have been omitted due to technological irrelevance.
Brush-Fire Wars … my tactic has a strictly economic goal: to lower the costs of defending our Constitutional liberties, on the one hand, and to raise the costs to the State of infringing upon our Constitutional liberties, on the other.”
Reviving Apprenticeship “.. . it is mandatory that a person who possesses certain skills reach back and pull along another person who is farther behind; this is how improvements in everyone’s productivity and income are increased.”
Pastoral Education “If you are not sufficiently self-disciplined to get your education this way, you are probably not ready to become a full-fledged ‘theological revolutionary’ at this stage of your career.”
Crisis Management and Fuctional Illiteracy “The pay-off is the ability to make accurate connections between what the Bible says and the events in the world around us.”
The Long, Long Haul “Two steps forward and one step back is a perfectly reasonable strategy, if you think you have time on your side.”
Optimistic Corpses “There is hope for the kingdom of God on earth, precisely because there is no hope for God’s people to escape the sting of death.”
The Three Legs Of Christian Reconstruction's Stool “It is clear from church history that each Christian group has made uniquely valuable contributions to the development of the kingdom of God.”
Shepherds and Sheep The battle for Christian reconstruction is many-faceted, but there is a single “litmus test” to separate the shepherds from the soon-to-be-sheared sheep in this battle: their support, financial, familistic, and verbal, of the Christian day school movement.
The “Little Things” Of Life “It is the law-order imparted by parents to children which will determine the success or failure of a society.”
Progressive Responsibility “…we are the recipients of a law structure which is the proper foundation for all our personal decisions.”
What Kind Of Army? “An army which is told that it must suffer defeat, that any sign of victory is an illusion or else a lure into a subsequent defeat, that victory must be the Devil’s, will be a defeated army.”
The Stalemate Strategy “Those who go into battle expecting defeat are soon defeated.”
Subsidizing God's Opponents “Below-cost tuitions are the bribe offers paid to parents to send their kids to a politically alien institution, and unsuspecting church members are supposed to finance the bribes.”
Humanism's Accomplices “As far as most Christian campuses are concerned, the theology of retreat has accomplished the goals of the secularists: to snuff out the life-giving, society-changing message of Christ to the whole of man's existence.”
Humanism's Chaplains “.. . talk concerning a Christian world-and-life view is incredibly cheap; the test is this: What are the sources and standards for constructing a biblical alternative?”
Capturing The Robes “The very same people who the fundamentalists regard as followers of Satan have set up the accreditation system, and the fundamentalist leaders have rushed to submit themselves to them in order to get their certificates of academic acceptability.”
1984, Not 1948 “There is little likelihood that our perspective will be taken seriously until this culture works out its damnation without any fear or trembling.”
Why Fight To Lose? “It is time for Christians to stop giving Satan credit for more than he is worth. Christians must stop worrying about Satan's power, and start working to undermine his kingdom.”
Fundamentalism: Old And New “…old fundamentalists are becoming new fundamentalists, and the… new fundamentalists are preaching a vision of victory.”
Eschatologies of Shipwreck “The State needs pastors who preach a theology of defeat. It keeps the laymen quiet, in an era in which Christian laymen are the most significant potential threat to the unwarranted expansion of state power.”
Impending Judgment “How long do we expect God to withhold His wrath, if by crushing the humanists who promote mass abortion… He might spare the lives of literally millions of innocents?”
