“This little book introduces Christians to a new way of thinking about the world around them-a positive, optimistic way of thinking.” This little book is about victory. Not just victory over indwelling sin in each regenerate person’s heart, but victory over the effects of sin in every area of life. It can be done. Not perfectly, of course. Perfect victory over personal sin comes only on the day of a person’s death, or on the day of resurrection, whichever comes first. Perfect victory over the effects of sin throughout the universe comes only at the day of judgment. But progressive victory over sin in the individual’s life can and should be mirrored in the progressive victory over the effects of sin in the society. This is the message of Deuteronomy 8 and 28:1-14. This is a production of Reconstructionist Radio.

Crisis Management and Fuctional Illiteracy
“The pay-off is the ability to make accurate connections between what the Bible says and the events in the world around us.”
Pastoral Education
“If you are not sufficiently self-disciplined to get your education this way, you are probably not ready to become a full-fledged ‘theological revolutionary’ at this stage of your career.”
Brush-Fire Wars
… my tactic has a strictly economic goal: to lower the costs of defending our Constitutional liberties, on the one hand, and to raise the costs to the State of infringing upon our Constitutional liberties, on the other.”
Reviving Apprenticeship
“.. . it is mandatory that a person who possesses certain skills reach back and pull along another person who is farther behind; this is how improvements in everyone’s productivity and income are increased.”
Shepherds and Sheep
The battle for Christian reconstruction is many-faceted, but there is a single “litmus test” to separate the shepherds from the soon-to-be-sheared sheep in this battle: their support, financial, familistic, and verbal, of the Christian day school movement.
Capturing The Robes
“The very same people who the fundamentalists regard as followers of Satan have set up the accreditation system, and the fundamentalist leaders have rushed to submit themselves to them in order to get their certificates of academic acceptability.”
Subsidizing God’s Opponents
“Below-cost tuitions are the bribe offers paid to parents to send their kids to a politically alien institution, and unsuspecting church members are supposed to finance the bribes.”
Why Fight To Lose?
“It is time for Christians to stop giving Satan credit for more than he is worth. Christians must stop worrying about Satan’s power, and start working to undermine his kingdom.”
1984, Not 1948
“There is little likelihood that our perspective will be taken seriously until this culture works out its damnation without any fear or trembling.”
Impending Judgment
“How long do we expect God to withhold His wrath, if by crushing the humanists who promote mass abortion… He might spare the lives of literally millions of innocents?”
Humanism’s Accomplices
“As far as most Christian campuses are concerned, the theology of retreat has accomplished the goals of the secularists: to snuff out the life-giving, society-changing message of Christ to the whole of man’s existence.”
What Kind Of Army?
“An army which is told that it must suffer defeat, that any sign of victory is an illusion or else a lure into a subsequent defeat, that victory must be the Devil’s, will be a defeated army.”
Backward, Christian Soldiers
“Christians believe today that they can safely retreat into a zone of social impotence and therefore social irresponsibility, just as they have done for over a century.”
Humanism’s Chaplains
“.. . talk concerning a Christian world-and-life view is incredibly cheap; the test is this: What are the sources and standards for constructing a biblical alternative?”
