With a one-minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

16th century French Theologians don't usually make an appearance at 21st century political

press conferences, but earlier this August, Governor Ron DeSantis introduced Andrew Bain

as a new Florida state attorney.

After briefly thanking the governor and those who'd helped him reach that position, Bain

said, quote, for me, this is the place where John Calvin's second purpose of the law came

to life, and quote, he then summarized Calvin's idea that the laws are restrained on evil, though

it can't, and in of itself change people's hearts, it can protect the righteous from

the unjust.

T.S. Eliot noted that our theories of education always say something about our views about

culture and about human beings, so do our ideas about the law.

Too many politicians act as if passing a law can remake the human condition, but it

won't.

Which is why it's so refreshing to see a public servant like Andrew Bain, who's grounded

and such better ideas.
