would love to get started with this with my kids. however, they're five and two. i may be re-writing this in a way they can more intimately understand for their age. thank you for this! beautiful 🙂
Wow, this connected so many dots that I never fully understood. Seems like this subject could be an entire lecture or course. I would love to learn about it in more detail. Thank you and God bless you Doug.

“What is tyranny? Tyranny is what Justin Trudeau is unleashing on the people of Canada.”
Ha! All western ideals. What was liberty for the sub Saharan Africa before contact with westerners? This will be a non foreign idea for Africans. African must rediscover this or forever be under the worldview of strangers.
All of Scripture for all of life. Principles of Gods Law applied to all life or confusion and chaos.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) said she believes “the church is supposed to direct the government.” First of all, I believe this is already the case. But do you think Christians could live without forcing raped women and children to give birth? Or does delusional beliefs always lead to Taliban-esk nations? Could Christians vote for those that don't force their views upon others? I think the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade already shows it's too late anyway. America is dead. RIP. Are you proud now?
Can someone please explain what is meant by form and freedom?
" It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often, that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ."-Patrick Henry. " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."- John Adams. " A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."- George Washington. " The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."- Psalms 9:17.
Thanks! Just wrote our government to text.
Heavy.
Libertarians understand none of this. Almost all of them believe liberty mean "do whatever you want"? Which is why you have so many druggies and homosexuals take claim to being a libertarians. Without the Lord whatever country or nation you have will be gone. May the South rise again.
I’m pretty sure this catechism needs to be Sunday school mandatory
How to get a copy? Would be good ones to ask our youth group at church to measure our success in discipling them.
Is there a print version we can purchase?
There will be a lot of people in 500 years shocked to find out the Moscow Catechism came out of Idaho.
Dang! He ruff on them Reformed leaders. Ouch!
Yes we Christians should call out tyranny. America needs to turn whole hearted to the true and living God!
Anyone know of some music that support these ideas? Certain hymns? Classical pieces? Folk songs? Popular? Psalms?
Thank you for this excellent resource, Pastor Wilson. 👍
(#33) Taxes should be less than the tithes paid to Doug…. Nothing self-serving to see here! Just a millionaire pastor who opposes taxing the rich.
While listening to this the thought popped into my mind of : "I wonder what the Moscow Idaho Sheriff thinks about Christ Church?" 🤔
Is there a written version of this?
While some of Doug's points are agreeable, it is all based on lawless gospel, which proves counterproductive to talking about liberty that is based on Christian values. The gospel is about the kingdom of God(Matt. 4:23, Mar. 1:14-15), not Christ's death, burial, resurrection, or ascension. Christ did not come to promote a message about Himself.
This is great.
I’d love to have a printed copy to reference for the purpose of doing a deeper study and then passing on these truths to others.
Thank you for such a thorough and grounded overview.
Thank you, Pastor Doug, you are such a rich blessing to me and my household through your solid, biblical teaching which I strive to apply all throughout my daily life. Praise the Lord! Amen and amen!
Awesome. Now, print with scripture proofs! Please! Been wondering when we'd finally get a Christian Civics Catechism that'd make Rutherford smile.
Dead on!
