The Holy Assembly (Doctrine of the Church)

What does it mean to be holy? In this sermon, R.J. Rushdoony challenges the modern church’s narrow, private view of holiness and reclaims its true, biblical meaning—rooted not in retreat from the world, but in the majesty, government, and power of God. The holy assembly is not withdrawn but engaged, called to rule, to build, and to bring every area of life into obedience to Christ. Holiness, far from being passive, is power consecrated to God’s purpose.
