God's Law and Society: Seminar
By Jay Rogers
Published October 4, 2008
Here are some comments from people who have used our videos as multi-part seminars.
I used God’s Law and Society for a Sunday School class I taught. The videos are very well focused on specific issues regarding a Biblical view of civil government. As one who lobbies on the Second Amendment, I am well aware of the need for Americans, and particularly Christians, to understand that if we are to remain free, we must stand on the unalterable word of God.

I have been viewing the videos for my own instruction, but also with a view to sharing it with my co-workers in China. It is very well done and the 20 minute sections are well suited to group instruction.

I have aired this video on local public access cable. I am starting a church with the Reformed Presbyterian Church in the United States (RPCUS) and would love to have the study guide to use for teaching the video series.

I thought the video was brilliant. I plan on using it for a small group setting. This is a very important subject matter. The application of the Law in a Christians’ life must be understood and it shines throughout the video. I really think you have produced one of the most important videos on Christian living.

I am also looking forward to showing them with people do not yet understand the importance of God in the totality of our lives, including our government, our workplace, the education of our children and the whole of society. I am in hopes that they will begin to understand. Again, thank you very much for your work.

We have only just begun viewing and discussing your video God’s Law and Society! Our adult cell group has for some time been studying the founding of our nation and what our forefathers, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights has had to say about our relationship and the nations when it comes to our worship and service to God. Your video addresses many of these same issues that we have been discussing and will help us to better identify what God’s Law is and how we as Americans and individual citizens and Christian church members can better serve Him in our churches and community.

I enjoyed the video tapes. It’s refreshing to see a work that takes the 10 Commandments (the heart of the moral Law of God) seriously. Those who believe that Old Testament law is invalid need to honestly answer this question. When we read the New Testament do we find the ethical standard changed from the Old Testament? Did Christ and the Apostles reveal a brand new, comprehensive, ethical system? The answer is, No, they assume one. They list sins which are merely asserted as being obviously evil. If we look for a brand new ethical system in the NT, we surely will be disappointed. The NT everywhere points us back to the OT.

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of “Christian postmodernism” and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank’s attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
“Give me liberty or give me death!”
Patrick Henry’s famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders’ passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom’s singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that “where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features “Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty” along with “Dawn’s Early Light: A Brief History of America’s Christian Foundations.” Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg’s controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney’s campaign for president.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won’t evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten “Sunday-school-sized” sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.
