Apologetics

Christian apologetics is a field of Christian theology that aims to present a rational basis for the Christian faith, defend the faith against objections, and expose the perceived flaws of other world views.[1] Christian apologetics have taken many forms over the centuries, starting with Paul of Tarsus, including writers such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas, and continuing currently with the modern Christian community, through the efforts of many authors in various Christian traditions such as C.S. Lewis. Apologists have based their defence of Christianity on historical evidence, philosophical arguments, scientific investigation, and other disciplines.

God's Social Order

Dr Tackett is blessed with the ability to communicate Gods biblical truth as it pertains to social order. Church, Family, Government, and Labor is ordered and reflects the image of God when understood in a biblical worldview. It is apparent that within all social structure there is a defined order consistent with the very nature of God, if they are blurred, compromised or misunderstood it will perpetuate chaos within the social structure. Richard Shaull writes, God maintains the unity and harmony of the universe against the threats of disorder and chaos, and the king is the divine representative to do the same on earth. The state belongs to the "ontocratic" order; it is the embodiment of cosmic totality; and the king is therefore the guardian, executor, and servant of cosmic order, which is also the basis of order in society. Social institutions and classes constituting the status quo are divinely ordained.
Today all over the world, culture deconstructs Gods natural order. An errant philosophy has taken hold that all history is constructed, that there is no single true history, no single truth, that all societies, all systems of law are mere constructs; they may be deconstructed and reconstructed differently.
Rita Joseph on an article about the disruption of Gods Natural law also writes.
Around the world, legislatures, judiciaries and the media are also caught up in this nonsense, all in a ludicrous attempt to free human activity from the moral constraints, Gods order. Even fundamental institutions like marriage and the family are being ordered differently,
experimentally and it is a direct assult on Gods order and natural law.
We must be able to discern this truth and recognize the assault against Gods social order.
If we believe what we believe is really real. My when we gaze upon the face of God it is obvious, there is no direction in which we can travel that God has not spoken. Are we listening?
God Bless
