Is Civil Government Important to God?


The New Testament does NOT provide an adequate template to establish and operate a proper civil government. Two possibilities flow from this observation:

1) Civil government used to be VERY important to God as described in the Old Testament, but no longer remains important because Jesus came to destroy that foundation and build a completely new foundation.

2) Civil government has already been clearly established with a permanent legal template made so clearly in the Old Testament that the New Testament did not need to rebuild the foundation upon which it was erected by repeating what was already explained to man.

Modern clergy have observed this reality (that the New Testament DOES NOT provide adequate instructions for the establishment and maintenance of a civil government) and errantly assumed that to be evidence that the modern establishment of civil authority can be a morally relativistic free-for-all, because it allegedly was not an important emphasis of the New Testament.

They were dangerously wrong in layers.

The most dangerous clergy in the world are those who reject the moral and legal absolutes of the Old Testament as the established foundation for all ongoing governance, while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of the American political sphere's cultural importance. Why? Because they must replace God's law established in the past with humanist situational ethics for their politics once they have dismissed God's law as a legal anchor for the present and future.

The absolutes of the Ten Commandments still hold ABSOLUTE authority over ALL disobedient humanist governments of the world, whether the modern preacher aligns with that reality or not.

Humanism dressed-up as "Christian love replaces God's law" has completely destroyed the moral foundation of the American republic. The church did that with the poison pill of antinomianism. The Spirit of lawlessness has blinded most Evangelicals in the voting booth for decades. We are reaping what we sowed. We sowed humanistic hate for God's law ("love wins"). We reaped humanistic hate for God's law... and... fake love "won."

 

Big Tech censorship has been expanding beyond just Conservatives… Christians are next!


While many of us have been warning about the coming persecution of Christians, I don’t think any of us thought that it would be ramping up so quickly. While we are luckily not facing physical persecution yet, such as beatings or death, we are facing censorship, deplatforming and even jail time in some instances. These are just the birth pangs of what is coming next.


While we still have a voice here at The GateKeepers, we are doing everything that we can to bypass the algorithmic walls put up by Big Tech and the Social Media companies like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Our videos used to get thousands of views across all of our platforms, while now they are being throttled and hardly getting distributed at all. An added wrinkle is that, while our video content is seeing lower views, traffic to our website has never been higher. Over the past year we’ve seen a 700% increase in traffic, and it’s been amazing to experience this kind of growth. Because of this, we’ll be launching GKTV very soon, hosting all of our shows exclusively on our platform.

While The GateKeepers started out as nothing more than a blog for me to post my articles relating to concerns within Christianity, it has now expanded into a full-fledged Christian podcast network featuring fifteen shows, a publishing company that has published three books over the past year and we are now hosting conferences on a regular basis. We’ve seen the addition of contributors to The GateKeepers such as Denise McAllister, Pastor Cary Gordon, Pastor Ken Peters, Dr Mike Spaulding, Dr Bobby Lopez and many other amazing Christian leaders. Our lineup of shows has expanded, as well, featuring shows such as The Shining Light Podcast, Conversations with Jeff, The Big Brown Gadfly, Battlefront: SouthGate and The Verum Monitae Report with Dr Mike Spaulding, in addition the the several other shows we also carry on The GateKeepers.


Everything that we do is for the purpose of expanding Biblical Christianity through the preaching of the Gospel, the exposition of God's Word and confronting error where it pops its ugly head within the Church. We are mission-focused first, and then we use technology, books, resources and events to accomplish and further the Gospel and Biblical theology.


While we’ve seen some amazing growth and expansion, we are also working hard to make this be a long-term play, and with that comes with how to fund our work here. I’ve intentionally not turned The GateKeepers into a non-profit organization because I don’t want to become beholden to the government, and I also don’t want to be focused on sending out fundraising letters constantly begging for money like most non-profit ministries do.


Instead, we have our online book store, are hosting online conferences and have our Plugged In membership program. Right now we are funded exclusively through these three different avenues. We are especially excited about our Plugged In membership, as this brings so much added value to you as a thank you for supporting our work here at The GateKeepers.


Becoming a Plugged In member provides access to the weekly episode of The GateKeepers Podcast, the monthly episode of Connected, free access to all of our online conferences, the recordings from previous online conferences and 30% off in The GK Store. If you would like to support us by becoming a Plugged In member, click here.


However, we’ve also been getting a lot of requests from supporters asking how they can donate to help support The GateKeepers. We are extremely grateful for these requests, as this will help us to expand even further and provide more quality Biblical content. If you would like to help support to The GateKeepers, you can donate through PayPal here.
