From the Frontline-Episode-119 What Downton Abby Teaches us about Civilization 100 years ago

What Downton Abbey can Teach us about Civilization 100 Years Ago
Please tune in to the latest From the Frontline podcast:  How has the beauty, tradition, architecture, stability and nobility of Christian Civilization 100 years ago been undermined to the point where once stable, safe, Christian nations have, in many cases, become so lawless, Interfaith, anti-Christian, pornographic and perverted today?

It is intriguing to compare our world today with England (and Scotland) 100 years ago. Despite some politically correct material inserted at points throughout the series, in their attention to detail to communicate the times, customs and fashions which are the backdrop to the drama, for those who are paying attention the series demonstrates how much of our civilisation has been subverted & undermined by secular humanism, socialism, taxes on land, death taxes and the devastating First World War. Join Lenora and I as we discuss one the most successful TV series in history, which apparently over 100 million people have watched, to give the story behind the sinking of the Titanic, the IRA Easter rising in Dublin, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the role of the bankers, WWI, Lloyd George, the Labour Party and how the great estates of England were deliberately destroyed by employing the Marxist Manifesto of 1848 strategy of taxing the land and imposing death taxes on inheritance. “Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.” Proverbs 22:28

From The Frontline-Episode 118-The Ascension Deals with Authority

The Ascension Deals with Authority

Why are so many things going wrong? Foundational truths have been ignored and vital pillars of Christian civilisation have been eroded. What we are seeing today are the inevitable out-workings of false doctrines being introduced, tolerated, accepted, and in many cases, even celebrated. Ascension Day points us to the solution to all these problems. The Ascension deals with Authority. It is absolutely vital that we include the Missing Pillars of the Faith: Ascension Day and Pentecost Sunday in our Christian calendar. This is what is all too often missing. 40 Days after Resurrection Sunday, we should celebrate the Ascension of Christ into Heaven. He is alive forevermore and He is exalted and enthroned at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. He is above every other name and authority in Heaven and on earth. Jesus Christ is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We have an Advocate in Heaven. He hears our prayers. He will crush all His enemies. He will come again. Therefore we must go and make disciples of all nations. 

"Christ has gone into Heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him." 

1 Peter 3:22

From The Frontline-Episode 117-Revolutionary Goals Advanced by Lockdown Regulations

REVOLUTIONARY GOALS Advanced by LOCKDOWN REGULATIONS

National lockdowns are, in many cases, proving to be pretexts for establishing centrally-planned socialist economies involving strategies to classify and control industry sectors and individual businesses. In many cases this classification is not based on infection risk. Central planning straight out of the Soviet politburo is determining what goods and services ought to be produced, how they ought to be produced, by whom and how much of them ought to be produced. As in the Soviet Union, everyone is being required to obtain state permission to operate, to work, to trade, to travel and to do all the things which were taken for granted in a free society. And that permission, along with all personal freedoms, can be rescinded on the mere suspicion of a bureaucrat.

To what extent do the lockdown regulations conform with the Marxist ideological agenda? What were the economic and social goals of Karl Marx? Should we be concerned at the heightened regulations and restrictions in the name of dealing with the coronavirus? This worldwide lockdown phenomenon is quite unprecedented. What model was used to implement this unprecedentedly intrusive lockdown on travel, work and even worship? Are there any books which could help us to understand the philosophy behind this phenomenon? What can we do to restore our societies to normality, revive our economies and renew our churches?

"Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell in."

Isaiah 58:12

From The Frontline-Episode 116-Biblical Economics and the Christian Work Ethic

Biblical Economics and the Christian Work Ethic

During this time of economic shutdown, recession and depression, it is important for us to remember the Law of God. The Bible has much to say about economics. Most of our Lord's parables dealt with economic situations. What does the Bible teach about economics? What does the Bible teach about work? What Biblical principles should guide government? What does the Bible say about taxation? What are the legitimate roles of government? What may a government tax? What constitutes legitimate currency? What Biblical principles should guide a business? What Biblical principles should guide a family? How can we rebuild our economy after 40 days of economic stagnation and strangulation? What hope is there for the future?

“Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord will not allow the righteous soul to famish, but He casts away the desire of the wicked. He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.”

Proverbs 10:2-4
