Faith and Action is the complete collection of the essays of R. J. Rushdoony written for the Chalcedon Report between 1965 and 2001 along with several transcripts of his recorded talks. The large volume The Roots of Reconstruction only contained his Chalcedon Report essays up until 1985, so most of the essays included in Faith & Action were unavailable to readers for many years until now.

    Freedom Under God’s

    Too often, we let fear of words charges of racism or bigotry paralyze us while taxpayers fund groups that fail obligations yet sue the government and receive federal support, highlighting how timidity in confronting abuses undermines both freedom and fiscal responsibility. #FreedomOfSpeech #TaxpayerBurden #StopAbuse #NameCalling #ProtectLiberty

    Law and Sin

    In “Law and Sin,” Rushdoony argues that God’s law addresses real, completed acts of sin rather than attempting to prevent evil through coercive control, thereby strictly limiting the authority of courts and the state to punishing criminal actions after the fact and not governing intentions, thoughts, or potential wrongdoing. He contends that humanistic statism seeks to usurp God’s role by trying to eliminate the possibility of sin through regulation and bureaucracy, transforming society from rule by law into rule by agencies that treat freedom itself as criminal. By attempting to make men “good” through preventive control, the state becomes a false god, extending its power over all of life and enslaving the righteous along with the wicked. True law, Rushdoony insists, flows only from God’s sovereign word, and when men abandon it they become shoeless—without rights—under man-made authority. The central issue is therefore lordship: whether men will submit to God’s law, which restrains evil while preserving freedom, or to the state, which seeks total control in the name of preventing sin. #LawAndSin #BiblicalLaw #AgainstStatism #GodsSovereignty #RuleOfLaw #ChristianLiberty #FalseGodState #Theonomy

    Covert Theonomists

    There is evidence of a real return to faith in the United States, particularly within evangelical churches, which have grown significantly from 1972 to 1982 while modernistic denominations have declined; this growth is accompanied by an increase in Christian schools, agencies addressing social problems from a Biblical perspective, and efforts to influence politics and economics according to faith, suggesting that a true return to religion involves both spiritual commitment and obedience, offering the promise of renewed freedom and responsible self-governance. #ReturnToFaith #EvangelicalGrowth #BiblicalObedience #ChristianEducation #FaithInAction #SpiritualRenewal #FreedomAndFaith

    Covenants and Law

    In “Covenants and Law,” Rushdoony argues that the church’s abandonment of God’s covenantal law in favor of humanistic law has fueled the suicide of Western civilization by enthroning man’s autonomy—self-law—in place of God’s theonomy. He insists that law and grace are inseparable because every covenant requires law: God’s covenant with man is an act of sovereign grace in which divine law defines the life of grace, not its negation. By rejecting Biblical law, modern theology freed the state from accountability to God while demanding greater submission to civil authority, allowing positivist law to declare the state the sole source of justice. Rushdoony critiques figures like Kuyper for grounding civil authority in “common grace” while permitting autonomous lawmaking, a move that ultimately empowered revolutionary statism. Liberalism, pragmatism, and materialism then erased absolute values, replacing God with the state as lawgiver and paving the way for modern despotisms. True freedom, he concludes, cannot be found in free will, democracy, or pietism, but only in covenantal obedience to Christ, where grace and law stand together and “the Son” alone makes men free. #CovenantTheology #GodsLaw #LawAndGrace #Theonomy #AgainstAutonomy #ChristOurKing #BiblicalCovenant #TrueFreedom

    Abelard

    Through our taxes, we are unwitting patrons of the arts, funding millions for projects many consider frivolous or objectionable erotic shows, feminist journals, or ex-convict art programs while contributing to a growing national deficit that threatens economic stability and, ultimately, freedom. #ArtsFunding #TaxpayerBurden #FiscalResponsibility #StopWastefulSpending #ProtectFreedom

    Autonomous Man

    In “Autonomous Man,” Rushdoony argues that modern humanism seeks an autonomous universe—independent of God, law, and covenant—replacing God’s justice with man-made “social justice” grounded in the social contract rather than divine law. Once justice is defined by human will—whether elite, majority, or ideological—it becomes endlessly malleable, producing competing and contradictory moralities and labeling godly obedience as “antisocial.” The attempt to escape God’s authority inevitably dissolves all authority, leading not to true social order but to anarchism, fragmentation, and death, since autonomy for the creature is an illusion achievable only in the grave. Scripture teaches that justice and righteousness are found only in God’s law, which restores, restrains evil, and gives meaning and responsibility to life. Rejecting God’s law does not free man; it guarantees disaster, while obedience to Christ promises victory, dominion, and the ultimate subjection of all things to His reign. #AutonomousMan #GodsLaw #TrueJustice #RejectHumanism #NoSocialJusticeMyth #ChristIsLord #BiblicalWorldview #DominionUnderGod

    U.S. foreign aid and loans often fund oppressive regimes, military projects, and even human-rights abuses abroad, effectively financing tyranny, slavery, and the enemies of freedom, while lacking proper oversight, making our generosity a tool for global harm rather than good. #StopFinancingTyranny #ForeignAidReform #ProtectFreedom #AccountabilityMatters #NoAidForOppression

    Selling Out Christ

    In “Selling Out Christ,” Rushdoony warns that modern churches risk betraying Christ by surrendering their independence to the state through licensure, regulation, and especially voucher schemes for Christian schools. The early church rejected all state control because Christ alone is King, and Christian freedom—including tax exemption—was won through costly resistance, not compromise. Voucher programs, he argues, inevitably bring state control, function as a form of socialism, and are a strategic payoff to neutralize the growing Christian school movement. By accepting state money, churches exchange lordship for convenience, repeating Judas’s betrayal in a modern form. True Christian institutions, Rushdoony insists, must be sustained by the faithful themselves, for dependence on the state always ends in the loss of freedom, faith, and obedience to Christ. #ChristIsLord #NoStateControl #SellingOutChrist #ChristianSchools #FaithOverFunding #NoVouchers #KingdomOfGod #ChurchIndependence #ObedienceNotCompromise
