    182. Doug Wilson on NPR — Oh, How I Love the Constitution?

    On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, presented by Future of Christendom, Chris Hume responds to Doug Wilson's recent NPR interview — and to one revealing line in particular: "I love the Constitution… I love the constitutional structure." It sounds like a harmless patriotic sentiment. But God has given His people a law and a structure for justice of His own — so what should we make of it when a prominent Christian leader professes love for a man-made one? Chris argues that this instinct doesn't stand alone. It's tied directly to a second thing Wilson said in the same interview: that he's not interested in applying the Old Testament straight across with no variations — that the judicial law no longer applies. And that, Chris contends, is the root: once you conclude God's judicial law has passed off the stage, you're left with a vacuum where the civil standard should be, and something has to fill it. Man does. And so a good man learns to love the framework men have built. During the episode, Chris mentions an article highlighting how early American leaders began treating the Constitution like Holy Writ. To clarify a detail from the audio: it was actually John Quincy Adams (not John Adams) who shockingly lifted language directly from Deuteronomy to praise America's founding documents.In his 1839 Jubilee of the Constitution address, John Quincy Adams declared: "Your Mount Ebal, is the confederacy of separate state sovereignties, and your Mount Gerizim is the Constitution of the United States... Lay up these principles, then, in your hearts, and in your souls – bind them for signs upon your hands, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes – teach them to your children... cling to them as to the issues of life – adhere to them as to the cords of your eternal salvation." When Christians attribute national blessings to a man-made document and use the language of Scripture to revere a political framework, it reveals a massive blind spot in modern Christendom. We must reject the man-made legislative structure and return to God's standard of justice.

    181. Morocco, the Netherlands, and the Two Faces of Apostasy

    On this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, presented by Future of Christendom, Chris Hume shares his thoughts following the soccer matchup of two nations that have a rich Christian history: the Netherlands and Morocco. Two nations that once held robust places within Christendom, and now neither one does. One was conquered by the sword of Islam. The other threw Christ out the front door and called it progress.Chris walks through both nations under the lens of God's Law:— The forgotten Christian history of North Africa, and how Morocco was lost— The Netherlands from the Synod of Dort to state-sponsored child euthanasia— Islam vs. secular humanism: which is worse to live under, and why "neutrality" is a myth— The truth about Ottoman rule of Christians (a response to claims made on Tucker Carlson), featuring historian Raymond Ibrahim— The hard question: in a nation under God's Law, would a Muslim bowing to Allah be guilty of a capital crime? An honest, open-handed look at Deuteronomy 13, Deuteronomy 17, and Leviticus 24Chris makes the case that the answer isn't Mecca and it isn't Amsterdam — it's the crown rights of King Jesus over every square inch.🎧 New shirts: tinyurl.com/endstatismshirt📅 Conference — America Reforged: Rebuilding on God's Law: futureofchristendom.org/events🤝 Support the show: patreon.com/thelancasterpatriot#theonomy #GodsLaw #Christendom #Islam #secularism #Reformed #TheLancasterPatriot #FutureOfChristendom #ChrisHume
