Sovereignty

The source of law in any society gives us the god or sovereign of that society…Where and when the churches fail in their task, no constitution and no law can prevent the destruction of freedom and order… God defines Himself in these words: “I am the LORD, I change not” (Mal. 3:6). The state also says it is our lord or sovereign, but a constantly changing one…If the triune God is alone Lord or Sovereign, then all concerns are religious and public. -R. J. Rushdoony
