Notes from: The Roots of Reconstruction

R.J. Rushdoony on Children

“The first and basic premise of paganism, socialism, and Moloch worship is its claim that the state owns the child. The basic premise of the public schools is this claim of ownership, a fact that some parents are encountering in the courts. It is the essence of paganism to claim first the lives of the children, and then the properties of the people...How can we expect God to honor us, or bless us, when we give our children to the state schools and surrender their minds daily to the teaching of humanism? It is sin to and madness to believe so, and those who try to justify their sin only increase it. The true believer will like Hannah (I Samuel 1:27f), see children as a gift from the Lord, to be given to the Lord as long as they live.”

Rushdoony, The Eschatology of Death

“Dying cultures block out tomorrow, having no confidence in their ability to cope with growth and the problems of growth. Dying Greece and dying Rome both saw themselves as overpopulated and overwhelmed with peoples and problems, and so too does our modern, dying statist humanism feel. It talks desperately about zero population growth and zero economic growth, because behind such thinking is a zero future, an intellectual and religious bankruptcy...the dying live but for the moment, because they have no future. Converted into formal philosophy, the name of such a state of anticipated death is existentialism. For the existentialist philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre, man is a futile passion who wills to be a god but is faced with the certainty of death."

~pg. 15

4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!

5 "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

7 "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

8 "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

9 "You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

~Deuteronomy 6

For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

~I Corinthians 15:25

John 5:2 In this we know that we love the children of God,

When we love God and keep His commandments.

Jack La Lanne

"Exercise is king, diet is queen.

Put them together and you've got a kingdom."

Jack LaLanne, at age 93 is still working out

two hours a day, mostly in the pool now.

"You have to exercise, not necessarily to the extent that I have.

Twenty to 30 minutes three or four times a week is fine

when combined with a sensible diet.

But work at it vigorously."

Energetic, spry and given to spontaneous outbursts of song, he loves joking around and greets others warmly.

Jack LaLanne, said he almost killed his brother twice, "I was 15 at the time. I was addicted to sugar. I ate junk food constantly and felt horrible. I suffered from blinding headaches. I was skinny, weak and had a nasty temper. I was so sickly that, under doctor's order's, I hadn't been to school in six months. Then my mom practically dragged me to a lecture on health. That lecture saved my life. Paul Bragg told me that if I would exercise and eat a proper diet, I could regain my health." The strict vegetarian diet Paul Bragg suggested helped Jack feel better. Jack's diet is still mostly vegan, except egg whites and occasionally fish. He has long advocated drinking juices extracted from raw fruit and vegetables.

In 1955, at 41, LaLanne swam handcuffed from Alcatraz to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

In 1956, at 42, he set the world record of 1,033 pushups in 23 minutes on You Asked for It, a TV show.

In 1959, at 45, LaLanne did 1,000 pushups and 1,000 chin-ups in one hour and 22 minutes.

In 1974, at 60, Jack swam from Alcatraz to Fisherman's Wharf for a second time, handcuffed, shackled and towing a 1,000-pound boat.

In 1976, at 62, commemorating the "Spirit of '76," he swam 1 mile in Long Beach Harbor, handcuffed, shackled and towing 13 boats containing 76 people.

In 1979, at 65, LaLanne towed 65 boats filled with 6,500 pounds of wood pulp while handcuffed and shackled in Lake Ashino, near Tokyo.

In 1984, at 70, handcuffed and shackled, LaLanne towed 70 boats with 70 people 1.5 miles from the Queensway Bridge to the Queen Mary.

Easter Sunday

Let nothing be done out of selfish ambition, or vain conceit.

But in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others as better than himself.

Rom. 12

Create in me a clean heart, Oh God,

And renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from your presence, Oh Lord,

And take not thy Holy Spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation

And renew a right spirit within me

Melody, Regina, Esther, Dinah & April

Oh Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth!

Blessed is the man, who fears the Lord,

Who delights greatly in his commandments…

His descendants will be mighty on the earth.
The generation of the upright will be blessed.

Papa and Jodavid

Pastor Campbell preached on Luke 24: Rome could not hold back the Resurrection.

The Jews came to Pilate saying, "Now that deceiver said that he would die and rise again on the third day. His disciples will steal away the body and say He has risen from the dead. Now the last deception will be worse than the first."

Pilate told them, "You have a guard, go and make it as secure as you know how." The Jews set a guard of 16 men, setting a Roman seal on the mouth of the tomb.

The third day an Angel came, rolled back the stone breaking the seal. Jesus the Christ rose from the dead. The guards “shook and became like dead men.” The penalty for breaking a Roman seal is death, and only a person designated by Rome could legally break the seal.

Who appointed the angel? God did. He commands kings to “Kiss the Son.” Psalm 2 And he laughs at their plots to break His law.

Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and to God the things which are God’s. God “broke” man’s law. Man proposes God disposes.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,

He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life

to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
