In today's episode, David explains why he thinks Abraham Kuyper, the 19th and early 20th century theologian who became Prime Minister of the Netherlands, would say that Calvinists, in particular, and Protestants, in general, have largely failed Americans in the sphere of politics and failed those who would be our legal and public policy advocates. Thankfully, Protestants can't shoot the real messenger because Kuyper died in 1920!

Why Abraham Kuyper’s lectures at Princeton Seminary in 1898 seem to say that Calvinists, in particular, and Protestants, in general, failed America politically have. 

Have Protestants, and Particularly Calvinists, Failed Americans Politically?

In today's episode, David explains how he misread and applied Proverbs 13:24 (KJV) -- “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people -- and how Jesus Christ was a stumbling block to a righteous view of law during much of his career in legal and political advocacy.

It is for any who might find fear, worry, or doubt creeping into their thinking about something — anything, really. Maybe even the outcome of the upcoming elections? He see lots of that in the Tennessee part of the so-called Bible-belt right now. It is based, ironically, on the beauty of Christ underlying Romans 8:7 (KJV) “[T]he carnal mind is ENMITY AGAINST GOD: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

David's  reflection this morning on the law of sin’s enmity against God, even in Believers, and what Christians are tempted to believe/disbelieve about Christ

What Weapon Christians Actually Choose for Their Warfare?

David explains that law is either a form of art full of light and beauty or one full of ugly darkness. One or the other is always carried into the voting booth.
