The Certain Advance of the Kingdom
Chalcedon’s purpose is to encourage believers to understand themselves and their dominion work in terms of the certain advance of the Kingdom of God.
- Mark R. Rushdoony
Many of you have been Chalcedon readers and supporters for years. (Some of you remember mee4ting my father, who passed away twenty-four years ago.) Chalcedon, however, does not perpetuate his message and his body of work as a memorial to him. The reason we do so I because, as I have said many times, I believe my father’s greatest Impact is yet future because, as human statism collapses, the church will be forced to address many issues he alone addressed. Very little of what he wrote now seems dated. On the contrary, it seem prescient.
Chalcedon’s purpose is to encourage believers to understand themselves and their dominion work in terms of the certain advance of the Kingdom of God. When others saw nothing but doom and gloom and the certain failure and frustration of human efforts, my father spoke of our labors as a “Christian Reconstruction” in confidence that we served the King of all kings Who declared He was making all things new (Rev. 21:5).
This message is as important now as ever before. We are grateful for those of you who share this perspective and for your enabling gift to this work. May God’s richest blessing be yours.
