During the Apostle Paul's time, the family in the Roman world was fractured. Historians tell us that divorce had exploded; adultery was rampant; and childlessness prevailed. Homosexuality - pervasive and widespread. Sexual immorality of all kinds – pervasive and widespread. Sociologists tell us that the culture was atomistic. In other words – the individual – his happiness; his desires; his wants – were paramount - the world revolved around the individual. – family was trampled. MEism and the individual reigned supreme. And yet, Paul doesn't set up a church that is appealing to millennials, or yuppies, or dinks or even generation Z. Rather he appeals to the Colossians to embrace Christianity. To embrace God's created order. To embrace God's created design for man. To marry. To have children. To build a home. To establish a family. Radical. Counter-revolutionary stuff to the culture in Colosse. 39 min. MercySeat.net

Right now – our government is teaching men NOT to work – and the government and corporations are trying to make men unable to work. These tyrants are so brazen - they are even willing to attack the very created order of God regarding work. And you must stand against them! And you must stand for Christ!

Every time you comply you are aiding and abetting tyrants in accomplishing their evil. You are aiding and abetting a great lie. You are selling tomorrow's freedom for today's convenience. We must offer Christian resistance. Christian resistance involves and demands three things: 1. Repentance, 2. Fighting, and 3. Building. And I do not mean these in that particular order – all three happen intermixed and ongoing.

This sermon was preached on Sunday, the 4th of July, 2021. Nations should cherish liberty and it is Christ and Christianity that brings liberty to men and nations. True liberty comes to nations that honor His law and word in their polity and policies. But America has lost her way. Her laws, policies, and court opinions spit in the face of Christ and impugn God's law and word. So while Americans are sold license disguised as liberty and think they are free – they are slaves to sin – and this makes them slaves to the state. Culture is religion externalized. And atheistic cultures most always turn into statist cultures. They make the state god. Atheistic cultures end up as statist totalitarian hells or hedonistic sewers – or both. America is both. But Christian men and Christianity produces something far different. We as Christian men understand and cherish liberty more than all other men. And why is that? It is because liberty is rooted in our religion – unlike the religion of the atheist. Our desire to not be

The monolithic centralized state views the decentralized family – as a threat. Therefore the state wants to control and subjugate the family to the state through law and policy and court opinion. This is a huge tenant of Marxism which views the family to be a major pillar of bourgeois society. To them - family must be subjugated by the state. The family is an institution ordained by God and is not to be controlled by the state. Family is its own government separate from the state – and in fact – civil government is an extension of family government. And men have a duty to protect their homes from the attacks and invasions of the state into their domestic affairs. [ We currently live in a statist hell which through law and policy has emasculated men; undermined their authority; taken their responsibility; stripped them of their duties; belittled, sequestered, neutralized, weakened, and tamed them for the state's ends. 39 min.

Continuing verse by verse. This sermon looks at the difference in the response of the Israelites to the murder of a concubine - 400,000 men at arms rallied; and to the response by the American Church to the murder of the preborn - overwhelming silence. 38 min. MercySeat.net

A pack of sodomites surround a house in Gibeah. How does this relate to America? This sermon expounds upon the awful consequence of accommodation to evil. Verse by verse through Judges 19. 38 min. MercySeat.net DefyTyrants.com American Christianity neuters men and tells them to have nothing to do with civil government matters; to be indifferent towards the evil, idols, and tyrants of the culture. And the wicked attack and malign when they see Christians who view “politics and religion” as “inextricably linked.” They are inextricably linked in that God's Word speaks to all matters of life, including matters of civil government. God-haters find such a notion horrifying. They can countenance a Christianity that stays in the corner - but Christians who want to see God's law and Word applied to all areas of life needs to be attacked and maligned. They fear a Christianity which confronts the evils, idols, and tyrants of the culture; which cannot sit silent when they see His law and Word impugned; and which works to

Syncretism brings decadence and decay to theological thought - which in turn brings decadence and decay to society and to the governments of men. Syncretism is the combining of different forms of belief or practice. It abounds in American Christianity and society today. Here we see the example of Micah who was taking a little bit of what the Lord teaches and a little bit of his own religious machinations and of the religion of the day and blended them altogether. This is syncretism - and syncrestism has been expressed in thousands of different forms down through the ages. This sermon takes the example of Micah and his Levite priest and makes application to the Christians and churchmen of our day here in America. 41 min. MercySeat.net DefyTyrants.com

On May 4th, 1521 an important historical act of interposition took place, as did such an act on April 18th, 1521. This sermon discusses that history by looking at the interposition of Frederick the Wise and Martin Luther. The sermon then goes on to show how those two acts of interposition - by a churchman and a magistrate - had direct correlation for two other acts of interposition taking place 30 years later by churchmen and magistrates. We commemorate the 500th anniversary of the actions of these Christian brothers who went before us. 38 min. MercySeat.net DefyTyrants.com MagdeburgConfession.com

When civil government is weak or non-existent OR is corrupt or abusive, dispensing immorality and injustice - the other governments will try to fill the void. Self-government and family government will try to protect self and family and restore order in society. This sermon examines the situation in the days of Judges and Samson and draws comparison to our day in America and the West. The sermon takes time to address the prevalent form of Christianity in America as taught by John MacArthur and the vast majority of America's churchmen. When civil government reaches a certain point of lawlessness - men will coalesce under family government and self government and church government to protect themselves and their families. And men are right to do so. 48 min. MercySeat.net DefyTyrants.com YouTube and GAB channels under the name "Defy Tyrants" and under the name "Matt Trewhella."
