Welcome to blog and May blog from Doug Wills.com. This audio is brought to you by

Canon Press. Before we get started I wanted to point you towards a book that Douglas Wilson recently wrote an introduction to,

Lex Rex by Samuel Rutherford.

When it was written, the Reformation in England and in Scotland was in crisis.

The English Civil War had just begun after Charles I tried to impose popish rituals on the

church and asserted his divine right as king to overrule Parliament.

Against those grandiose claims, the Scottish pastor Samuel Rutherford wrote a book and changed

Western political philosophy forever as it led to the thinking that enabled the American Revolution.

Check out Lex Rex by Samuel Rutherford with a fantastic introduction from Douglas Wilson today at Cannon Press.com. on not accepting stolen elections, September 7, 2020.

Introduction.

I think it is fair to say that the political and cultural condition of our country can best be described as inflamed.

And in this inflamed condition, we are coming up on a presidential election that will have momentous consequences for every last one of us,

regardless of which side of this inflamed partisan divide we might happen to be on.

In this inflamed condition, have I used the word inflamed yet?

Neither side will be willing or able to say or think anything like this.

Are we the bad guys?

Are we willing to do anything to win, however unscrupulous, even to the point of stealing the election outright.

Nobody will say anything like that, which is, to be sure, not the same thing as saying that no one

will be the bad guys.

In a situation like this one, at least one side, minimum, has to be the bad guys what I'm saying is

that nobody is going to ask if they are the bad guys the good guys won't the bad

guys can't now I'm talking here about what the rank and file will be thinking and willing to ask.
