About this episode
We live in an age that is desperate to have law without a lawgiver, morality without a transcendent source, and justice without a judge. Our secularist priests want to build a society on the shifting sands of human opinion, popular consensus, and whatever the Supreme Court decided last Tuesday. They want the fruit of righteousness, things like human rights and dignity, without the root of righteousness, which is the character of the living God. But this is like wanting to have cut flowers without the nuisance of a garden, soil, and water. It is a doomed project, and the flowers are already wilting. This is not a question of whether, but which. Every legal system is the codification of a particular morality, and every morality is grounded in a particular theology, a particular view of ultimate reality. The question is not whether we will have a god over our society, but which god it will be.
