The Foundations of Social Order

23 Lessons in Creeds

Every social order rests on a creed, on a concept of life and law, and represents a religion in action. Wherever there is an attack on the organization of society, there is an attack on its religion. The basic faith of a society means growth in terms of that faith, but any tampering with its basic structure is revolutionary activity. …Every creed, however healthy, is also under continual attack; the culture which neglects to defend and furthers its creedal base is exposing its heart to the enemy’s knife. The life of a society is its creed. This course is a study on the creedal foundations of Christian civilization to enable the people of God to reconstruct the social order based on the Word of God.

Freud

10 Lessons in Psychology

"Modern society cannot be fully understood without reference to the philosophy and practices of Sigmund Freud. Although modern psychoanalysis and psychiatry have moved away from Freud's original practices, he remains a dominant influence in the effort to remove the Christian religion and influence in the lives of individuals. Freud was at war with God and this short mini course gives a good understanding of the logical conclusions of his thinking."

Systematic Theology

Lessons in Theology

This study is an effort to apply Scripture systematically to various spheres of faith and life. The word theology means God’s word; it begins with the presupposition that Scripture is the word of God, and the duty of the theologian is to understand it and to apply it to every area of life and thought. Theology belongs in the pulpit, the school, the workplace, the family, and everywhere. Society as a whole is weakened when theology is neglected or approached with a smorgasbord mentality, picking and choosing that which pleases them. It begins with the presupposition that Scripture is the word of God. Without a systematic application of theology we end up, in the name of Christianity, interpretations of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit which are alien to Scripture.
