Scriptural Principles on Human Governent by J. Budziszewski


I have been a huge fan of J. Budziszewski ever since a professor of mine loaned me a copy of What We Can't Not Know to help redeem the time on a 10 hour flight for a missions trip. One of the most influential and profound books for me at the time and still a treasured work to this day. I admired Dr. B so much that I included him in my thesis on Natural Law and he graciously agreed to a phone interview and gave me advice that I still cling to today.

I just recently came across 10 Scriptural Principles on Human Government gleaned from Budziszewski's latest work on Justin Taylor's blog. If you're interested in reading what the Bible has to say concerning human government, this i an excellent resource. Check it out here.

If you're interested in learning more about Natural Law from the Christian perspective, here are 2 clips. The Short One and the More Detailed One. Enjoy!

Need encouragement as a pastor?

I stumbled upon this video today and was thoroughly blessed by it as a pastor still learning to navigate the waters of pastoral ministry. The tenure of the minister, the changing of the people under the proclamation of God's Word, and the growth (albeit painful) of the congregation in both size and godliness were very encouraging. I hope it blesses you too.
