Orthodox, Catholic and Evangelical leaders have united to issue a clarion call in the defense of life, marriage and religious freedom. The document, entitled The Manhattan Declaration, was drafted by Princeton Law Professor, Robert George, Timothy George, and Chuck Colson, founder of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview (Lansdowne, Va.). With great clarity the [...]

Horton Hears A Pro-Life Message?
Posted in Natural Law, Pro-Life on March 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Last Saturday we took the kids to see the movie Horton Hears a Who. It was a lot of fun. I heard more than a Who. “Who” else detected a pretty strong pro-life theme? Was it on purpose or did Horton’s motto “a life is a life no matter how small” accidently strike a pro-life [...]
Rethinking National Confession
Posted in Corporate Confession, Natural Law, Spirituality of the Church, Two Kingdoms on March 14, 2008 | 20 Comments »
To the RPCNA I owe my new life in Christ. She is my mother and I dearly love her. In loyalty to my mother I have tried to work through her doctrine of the mediatorial Kingship of Christ over the nations and to defend its 20th Century application National Confessionalism. I have always found National [...]
Meats of Woe

Industrial and farming are two words that should never be in the same sentence except by way of contrast. Kinda like the words industrial and ecclesiastical. Mega-churches with cheap salvation. Mega-meats with cheap chicken. Everyone once in a while a news story offers a warning about the dangers, even the sins, of industrial farming practices [...]
The Protestant Kirk

I posted this on a Russell Kirk discussion group and got some good feedback. I thought it might be worth while to post here. I object to Protestantism being denied the right to defender the natural law. While I agree that Kirk was not so much a Thomist as an Augustinian you will find that [...]

Andrew Matthews O GOD, merciful Father, who despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the desire of such as are sorrowful; Mercifully assist our prayers which we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us; and graciously hear us, that those evils which the craft and subtilty of [...]
Response to Darryl Hart: The Radicality of Christian Obedience
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith, Natural Law, Two Kingdoms on July 5, 2007 | 37 Comments »
Andrew Matthews Darryl, you write: “Andrew, I’d be glad to answer these reflections if I weren’t already asking for you to answer them.” What?! I have been providing answers to this (admittedly) difficult question. The “hard sayings” of Jesus are called such because they are not easy for anyone who recognizes the validity of natural [...]

Andrew Matthews “To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations…just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star…To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame [...]

Here is a fine example of a Reformed Thomist dealing with natural law.
Kirk: For and Against the Natural Law
Posted in Hart's Secular Faith, Natural Law on March 29, 2007 | 5 Comments »
So far I have been accused of holding to high a view of the natural law and to low a view of it. I want to do justice to a proper view so will allow the venerable ghost of Kirk to speak. I appreciate Kirk’s view as it seems to me very close to that [...]
