Strategy for Christian Reconstruction (Remastered)

Rushdoony warns that America is under judgment, pointing to the murder of Congressman Larry McDonald and Western complicity with Marxist evil as signs of national moral collapse. He argues that both the state and the church have abandoned courage and responsibility, replacing resistance and repentance with withdrawal and a shallow gospel centered on “inner peace” rather than Christ’s lordship over all of life. He identifies the core error as antinomianism the claim that grace requires no obedience. Drawing on Scripture and the Reformers, he insists that God’s covenant is always law and grace together, and that denying the law ultimately denies sin and empties the Gospel. Yet he ends with hope: judgment and salvation always coincide, and though the world is collapsing, God promises that “at evening time it shall be light.” The church must choose whether to share in decay or become salt and light through obedient, living faith.
