What is Reformed Christian politics, and how should Christians think about civil government, natural law, the magistrate, and the relationship between church and state? In this extended conversation, George Sayour sits down with Stephen Wolfe, Zachary Garris, and Sean McGowan to discuss their book, Reformed Christian Politics. Together they explore the historic Reformed understanding of civil government, the American revisions to the Westminster Confession, the Two Kingdoms debate, natural law, Sabbath legislation, the role of the magistrate, and how biblical principles should shape public life while maintaining the proper distinction between church and state. Whether you agree or disagree, this discussion offers an important look at one of the most significant conversations taking place in contemporary Reformed political theology. Topics include: Reformed Christian political theology Natural law and civil government The Westminster Confession and the American revisions Two Kingdoms theology The role of the civil magistrate Sabbath laws and public morality Church and state distinctions The future of Christian political thought https://www.berithpress.com/bookstore...

The Two KingdomsPaul's final charge to Timothy reminds every believer to faithfully preach God's Word, endure hardship, and fulfill the ministry God has entrusted to them. This message contrasts the temporary priorities of the world with the eternal hope found in Christ and challenges us to live with our eyes fixed on His appearing rather than the passing comforts of this life.
You might just be able to hear the explosion of the fireworks over the explosion of rhetoric upon the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. Aiming to shed more light than heat, Dad and I discuss The Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) from a theological perspective. Civic good is not the ultimate good, but it's not a negligible one, either. We find good reasons as Christians to support the American project, its self-corrections, and onward attempts to attain a more perfect union. Notes: 1.

How does a retreat discussing Lutheran political theology, the doctrine of two kingdoms, vocation, and the limits of politics shape future church workers? Dr. Rachel Ferguson (Professor of Business Ethics & Assistant Dean of the College of Business/Director of the Free Enterprise Center, Concordia University Chicago), Jonah Witte (rising sophomore at Concordia University Chicago pursuing dual certification in secondary education–biology and Director of Christian Education), and Grace Levitt (rising junior at Concordia University Chicago in Lutheran Teacher Education, studying secondary education social sciences) join Andy and Sarah to talk about how Dr. Ferguson created the idea for this invitation-only retreat at the Kirk Center, what she hoped students would gain from the discussion-based format, how something like this is important for Lutheran church work students, what Jonah and Grace experienced along with six other CUC students, how their experiences will shape how they approach their future vocations, and how they were challenged to think more deeply about these topics.

The Bible explains the existence of two kingdoms—the kingdom of LIGHT and the kingdom of DARKNESS. Every person in the world belongs to one of those kingdoms. Pastor Gary describes the territory of those kingdoms and what defines them. They are not earthly kingdoms, but they are real, spiritual dominions. The question is, to which kingdom do you belong?
When does wisdom-driven planning quietly turn into building your own kingdom? And how do you know when “being responsible” with money has started to compete with following God? In this episode we discuss the incompatibility of serving both God's kingdom and your financial ambitions, emphasizing that money often becomes a distraction, or even a barrier, to faith. John shares his personal journey of balancing material desires with spiritual fulfillment, highlighting the dangers of building a "little k kingdom" competing alongside God's kingdom plans. In this episode, John discusses: How easy it is to say “yes” to Jesus while quietly building a backup financial plan on the side Why God’s Kingdom and your own 'little k kingdom' always pulls you in competing directions The subtle, unhealthy mindset shift where security, identity, and worth start to come from what you own, control, and keep Why money so often becomes a barrier to God, not because money is bad, but because our hearts are vulnerable to drift What it looks like to recognize the “kingdom” you’ve been building, bring it honestly before God, and realign your finances with His better plan Key Takeaways: You can genuinely want God’s will and still quietly build a “little k kingdom” on the side, only realizing later that your plans may compete with His. Money itself isn’t the problem; the danger lies in the subtle heart shift where security, identity, and worth begin to rest in what you own, control, and keep instead of in God. The world’s financial system often appears to work—bigger house, better car, more investments, etc. — but over time, the maintenance, payments, and comparisons can quietly begin to weigh you down and pull you off course. Pursuing success without spiritual awareness can come with hidden costs: strained relationships, emotional distance from loved ones, and a growing gap between the life you’re building and the life God is inviting you into. Freedom comes from honestly asking, “Am I trying to live in two kingdoms?” and bringing that answer to God—trusting that He can realign your path, provide what you truly need. “I wanted God’s plan and my plan—His blessings and my stuff, His peace, my portfolio.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that like David, God's Kingdom grows within us quietly, and oftentimes invisibly at first. Humble beginnings are often God's way of working through our fear and insecurity to form a more Godly outcome based on security and trust.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that life can deliver crushing blows. Anxiety, and distress can make us feel dejected, even lonely. But, in our discontent, if we choose to trust God, it will build confidence, knowing that He is building His kingdom inside of us, starting with our hearts.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that there is a striking difference between sin, and demonic power, and God's kingdom of faith, sacrifice, and divine justice. So, Christians are called to recognize God's purposes, and that way, we're able to identify with David's kingdom.
