Government (Doctrine of the Church)
Published 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
What kind of government does God require—for the family, the church, and the state? In this sermon, R.J. Rushdoony examines Jethro’s counsel to Moses in Exodus 18, showing how God established a decentralized model of authority rooted in elders, households, and local responsibility. Far from being a relic of the past, this biblical pattern once shaped early English law, medieval cities, and even the early church. It remains today a call for men to reclaim godly leadership—beginning in the home, extending to the church, and ultimately shaping a free society under God.
