The Implications of Modern Philosophy: The Will To...

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/06

Rushdoony argues that when modern philosophy narrows reality to inner experience excluding God and “things-in-themselves” it produces a “will to fiction” that reshapes art, literature, politics, and daily life: earlier figures like Rubens still worked as disciplined, reality-tethered artisans and businessmen, but modern “artists” increasingly treat imagination as truth and self-mythologize, illustrated by Thoreau’s largely staged Walden, Whitman’s carefully constructed “common man” persona

The Truth and the Lie

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/06

Jesus declared, “I am the truth” (John 14:6). To know Him is to live in reality, not imagination or compromise. There is no middle ground between truth and lies neutrality itself becomes a lie. Truth often demands sacrifice; lies promise advantage. But the real cost of a lie is what it does to the one who lives by it. To follow Christ is to choose truth, whatever the price and to reject the lie, however tempting.

The Dream of Reason

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/06

This position paper argues that the Enlightenment’s exaltation of human reason has produced a recurring and destructive dream: the creation of a perfectly rational, planned society ruled by philosopher-kings, with the Turkish Empire presented as an early and revealing model of this ideal. Admired by Western romantics and humanists for its supposed order and rationality, the Ottoman system subordinated all people rulers and subjects alike to the state, treating human life as expendable in

Did God Really Silence Women?

2026/10/05

Few topics generate more heat and less light than the question of women's roles in the church and family — but what does Scripture actually say when freed from both feminist ideology and culturally accumulated assumptions? In this episode, Andrea Schwartz and Charles Roberts work through the key passages — from Genesis 1 and Galatians 3:28 to 1 Peter 3:7, 1 Corinthians 11 and 14, and Ephesians 5:24 — examining apparent contradictions and unpacking what Paul and Peter were actually addressing in

Thy Light is Come

2026/10/05

Zacharias proclaimed that Christ’s coming meant salvation with power, victory without fear, and light breaking into darkness (Luke 1:67–79). Christmas was not sentiment it was the dawn of a new world. The “dayspring from on high” announced that the King had come, bringing peace and a fearless life in Him. Though darkness surrounds us, it has not overcome the light (John 1:5). The light of Christ still shines, undimmed and triumphant. Isaiah’s call remains: “Arise, shine; for thy light is

Blessed are They that Hunger and Thirst

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/04

The fourth Beatitude, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled,” teaches that true blessedness requires a holy discontent not with the world, but with ourselves. Scripture calls us to contentment in our station, yet here our Lord blesses those who are dissatisfied with their own sinfulness and who long, above all else, to be righteous before God. This hunger is not a desire for a better society, honest neighbors, or moral reform in others such

The Choice

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/04

Scripture leaves no room for indecision. Joshua and Elijah both confronted God’s people with the same demand: stop halting between two opinions and choose whom you will serve. Compromise may feel safe, but history shows it is the prelude to decline. Every age of crisis requires clear allegiance. To refuse the choice is to make one by default. The call still stands: “Choose you this day whom ye will serve.”

Law as Power and Discrimination (Remastered)

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/04

Romans 13: rulers are meant to be a terror to evildoers. Today the evildoers terrorize the government and the government pays them for it. Law without power isn't law. Power without righteousness isn't law either it's totalitarianism in robes. When the state becomes the source of law, the state has become the god. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" including the one in Washington.

R.J. Rushdoony and Otto Scott examine Darwin and the cultural impact of evolution, highlighting Michael Denton’s Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, which critiques Darwinian theory from a molecular biology standpoint, concluding that evolution lacks conclusive evidence and serves as a foundational myth for 20th-century secularism. They trace Darwin’s influence as removing purpose and God from natural processes, creating a worldview in which humanity could see itself as self-directing, a concept

Morality and Growth

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/03

A common error in the church is assuming unbelievers share Christian moral standards and simply need Christ “added” to their lives. Scripture teaches the opposite: fallen man is at enmity with God and requires regeneration, not supplementation. Modern culture compounds this error by denying morality altogether, redefining human problems as technological, environmental, or educational rather than moral and spiritual. \Because we live in a moral universe, growth is unavoidable either toward

The Death of Herod Agrippa I

2026/10/03

Herod Agrippa accepted worship as a god, basking in public praise and political favor but in that very hour, God struck him down (Acts 12:23). The same crowds who hailed him as a messiah turned savage once the handouts ended, exposing the emptiness of power built on flattery and false glory. False messiahs rise on applause and fall under judgment. Public works, popularity, and praise cannot replace giving God the glory. The Herods of this world have no future only those who honor the true

Our Professional Thieves

2026/10/02

It’s easy to blame the taxman but the deeper problem is us. When we demand subsidies, special services, and benefits from the state, we are asking civil authorities to take money from our neighbors by force. The theft may be legal, but the guilt is shared. Scripture is clear: “Thou shalt not steal” (Exod. 20:15). Ordering theft through the state is still theft. When stealing is called virtue, society becomes a jungle and judgment follows. God’s way is different: honest labor, personal

Social Justice

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/02

In “Social Justice,” Rushdoony argues that modern social justice is not a Biblical concern but a humanistic doctrine rooted in the self-deification of intellectual elites who replace God’s law with their own autonomous reason, making justice whatever they declare it to be. Whereas Biblical law flows from the nature and authority of the sovereign God repeatedly grounded in the declaration “I am the Lord” social justice arises from man as the ultimate judge, turning law into a weapon of moral

Everyone knows Joseph's coat of many colours, except the Bible never says it. The Hebrew phrase, ketonet passim, appears in only one other place, on the king's virgin daughters, and it names a royal robe reaching to the hands and feet that made manual work impossible. Jacob wasn't spoiling a favourite son; he was commissioning an administrator over a household of thousands, under the covenant charge of Genesis 18:19 to command his children in justice and judgment. God forms rulers in the home:

The Blessed Meek

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/10/01

The third Beatitude, “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth,” defines meekness not as weakness or cowardice, but as a wild and rebellious nature that has been disciplined and tamed by God. Meekness is the fruit that follows poverty of spirit and godly mourning: when men see their sin, grieve over it, and submit themselves to the Lord’s correcting hand. Like a wild horse that is stunted and useless until it is broken to the harness, so man remains spiritually unproductive until

King John's World

2026/10/01

Modern culture confuses efficiency with wisdom. King John is praised today not for character or leadership, but for expanding bureaucracy and record-keeping. Yet good paperwork didn’t save his reign and it won’t save ours. We now live in a data-bank world where records replace judgment and systems replace wisdom. Scripture reminds us that salvation, order, and success do not come from files and forms, but from the Lord through sound faith, godly character, and obedience. Data is no

The Impact of Philosophy on Religion: The Principle...

2026/10/01

This lecture exposes why modern thought dominates the culture: it has an inner logic and consistency, while Christians and conservatives often operate with a “smorgasbord philosophy,” mixing incompatible beliefs and never following ideas to their conclusions. Tracing the shift from theology as the “queen of the sciences” to philosophy ruling religion, it shows how Descartes, Butler, Schleiermacher, and later modern theologians relocated certainty from God and history to the autonomous human

Are We Misjudging our Prison Convicts?

Our prisons have become breeding grounds for violence and extortion, as illustrated by a young man murdered for refusing to pay $5 a week to a gang in Los Angeles Men’s Central Jail, highlighting that the humanistic assumption that prisoners are “good at heart” blinds us to their evil nature; misjudging criminals as unfortunate or reformable only endangers society, and true safety requires recognizing sinfulness and holding offenders accountable. #PrisonCrisis #CriminalJustice #HumanNature

Christ vs. Caesar

2026/09/30

Early Christians were executed for one simple refusal: they would not call Caesar “lord.” To them, state-controlled religion was no freedom at all it made the church a creature of the state. The issue then, as now, was lordship: Christ or Caesar? History warns us that when the state claims authority over the church, the result is tyranny, no matter how many “rights” are promised on paper. The question that faced Speratus in A.D. 180 faces us again today: Who is your Lord?

The Modern State, an Ancien Regime

CR101 Radio - Podcast Network ·

2026/09/30

In “The Modern State, an Ancient Regime,” Rushdoony argues that the modern humanistic state is not a new creation but a revival of ancient pagan sovereignty, claiming to be both the incarnation of man and the ultimate source of law and morality, thereby usurping the role of God and mirroring—by inversion—the Biblical doctrine of Christ as the true Adam and federal head of redeemed humanity. By making itself the lawgiver, the state becomes the arbiter of good and evil, demanding religious
