“Only a law-order which holds to the primacy of God's law can bring forth true freedom, freedom for justice, truth, and godly life. Freedom as an absolute is simply an assertion of man's "right" to be his own god; this means a radical denial of God's law-order. "Freedom" thus is another name for the claim by man to divinity and autonomy. It means that man becomes his own absolute.” MenMeanLawOrderNamesJusticeClaimsAbsolutesRadicalDenialDivinityGodlyAutonomyAssertionTrue FreedomPrimacyJustice TruthGodly Life Author:R.J. Rushdoony

Usually, the same picketers that carry a sign one day, “Abolish Capital Punishment,” also carry “Legalize Abortion” another day. When this is called to their attention, their answer is, “There is no contradiction involved.” They are right: the thesis is “condemn the innocent and free the guilty.” MenAnswersAttentionBabyInvolvedOne DayDemandSignificantPunishmentInnocentGuiltyAbortionContradictionMurdererAbolishAnother DayThesisCapital Punishment Author:R.J.

“It needs more than ever to be stressed that the best and truest educators are parents under God. The greatest school is the family. In learning, no act of teaching in any school or university compares to the routine task of mothers in teaching a babe who speaks no language the mother tongue in so short a time.
