The Word of God Is Legal

Posted on May 10, 2012 by The American View

In the American View of law and government, when God created the world, He created our rights at the very same time. It was somewhat later, after the flood, that he instituted civil government (what we now call the State) for the purpose of defending those rights that He had previously given.

Later still, as part of His redemptive plan for a fallen and sinful mankind, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and fully God Himself, instituted the Church, of which He is the Head.

June First Friday: Pastor David Whitney on “Why Every Christian Should Study the Constitution”

Posted on May 7, 2012 by The American View

When Christians think about the commands of Christ, the one most often brought up, in regard to our civic duties, is “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (from Mark 12:17) Does this command relate only to the paying of taxes? Is there anything else Jesus requires of Christians in America today by this command? How has this command been understood by Christians living under the thumb of dictators?

Pastor Whitney will answer these provocative questions and will explain the Christian’s civic responsibilities and opportunities.

David holds a B.A. from Rutgers University, as a Henry Rutgers Honors Scholar with Honors in History. He received his Masters of Divinity from Denver Seminary. He is currently the Pastor of Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church in Pasadena, Maryland. Pastor Whitney is Chaplain of the Southern National Congress and the Maryland League of the South.

Eventbrite - Why Every Christian Should Study the Constitution

Through Pastor Whitney’s instruction and testimony in the Legislature, he defends the family and the preborn, as well as the principles and requirements upon government. He calls upon those in government to stay within the proper bounds for civil government, as established by God and defined in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Maryland Constitution.

In 2006 David ran for State Delegate to the Maryland legislature, calling for a return to Constitutional government in the State of Maryland. Thirty years a pastor, David is Senior Instructor at Institute on the Constitution. He and his lovely, talented wife and daughters reside in Annapolis, Maryland.

Please join us on June 1st to learn from Pastor Whitney.

  • What is this American View?

    Briefly stated, "The American View" of government is that there is a God, the God of the Bible, our rights come from Him, and the purpose of civil government is to secure our rights.

    There are many views of government, from equally numerous world views. Americans are blessed that our Founders' Biblical Worldview informed their political philosophy and the framing of our founding documents.
