Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360
If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.440
would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760
This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.880
to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:21.580
What is a list of books that help with applying God's law
00:00:40.880
It's called The Institutes of Biblical Law by R.J. Rushduni.
00:00:45.060
And what I like about it is it's good as a reference.
00:00:50.480
Any Bible verse you can think of, you just look it up,
00:00:54.700
So you don't have to read the whole thing if you don't like to do that kind of thing.
00:00:59.040
And, yeah, that's the one I would recommend, because it's just, it's thorough, it's exhaustive.
00:01:06.060
Again, you can't believe literally everything he says.
00:01:08.880
You've got to use discernment, but it's very helpful.
00:01:17.360
I think a lot of their stuff is really, really good.
00:01:30.620
I think I have Theonomy and Christian Ethics and stuff.
00:01:36.320
Honestly, this is kind of a weird answer in some ways.
00:01:52.820
But some of the historic confessions, I think, have some really good information on that.
00:01:58.580
So, yeah, like, read the Westminster, and it doesn't go into specifics as much.
00:02:03.720
This, you know, Synod of Dort, and really all of the historic confessions, the Heidelberg,
00:02:09.120
they all have to deal with this somewhere along the line.
00:02:16.560
And Toby Sumter, just to give him some props, he just recently wrote a 50-question catechism
00:02:25.680
He did a video of it where he gives the question and a short answer.
00:02:28.140
and it was fantastic it was really really good um and then all the greg bonson stuff thanks to
00:02:33.700
jeff durbin and and james white um the bonson family has given that to apologia and so they
00:02:39.380
started bonson you bonson university and all of it is now free um through apologia and their
00:02:45.220
ministry and all for homeschool parents some of this stuff can be heady and um so i i'm kind of
00:02:51.500
if those who listen to the podcast i probably said before like i'm a paleo conservative or at
00:02:55.400
I think I am I consider myself that and I look at like the print there's principles in the Bible
00:03:02.440
that should be applied I don't think it's a one-for-one necessarily and it's hard with so
00:03:06.380
you know there's a certain context that the law was given but I think it does apply the principles
00:03:10.960
of it and there's a there's a book that I think you could use even with your kids because it's
00:03:14.980
so simple and I don't even know where you could find it now but it's by a guy named Peter Hammond
00:03:20.400
it's called biblical principles for africa it's not even for the united states but
00:03:24.980
i remember when i was probably a teenager i found it somewhere i don't even know where i found it
00:03:30.640
and it's super short and it just goes through like really basic stuff about property and the
00:03:35.880
role of government and i i just thought it just was pretty clear so if you can pick up peter hammond
00:03:41.480
biblical principles for africa i think it's pretty good and his whole thing just by the way so he's
00:03:45.520
a missionary and he's trying to like show people in Africa that he's trying to teach. Like, here's
00:03:51.320
what the Bible says. Cause some, in some cases they are trying to like reform and start from
00:03:55.760
scratch and like, they're asking these questions. So that's why I think it's really good.
00:04:00.060
Thanks so much for listening, but real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment
00:04:04.980

00:04:10.920
