Sovereign Nations

At CPAC 2019, Sovereign Nations gathered speakers from various positions and backgrounds to address issues surrounding the postmodern deconstruction of the greater evangelical church. Dr. Josh Buice, Pastor at Prays Mill Baptist Church and Founder of the G3 Conference sounded the alarm on the infusion of intersectionality in the Southern Baptist Convention and Presbyterian Church in America.“Many evangelicals have replaced theology with victimology, they have swapped pastors for sociologists, they have traded in their theologians for political activists,” Dr. Buice stated.

At CPAC 2019, Sovereign Nations gathered speakers from various positions and backgrounds to address issues surrounding the postmodern deconstruction of the greater evangelical church. First, Sovereign Nations’ Founder Michael O'Fallon addressed the “top-down, bottom-up, and inside-out” strategies used by those wanting to create civilizational and societal change. Mr. O’Fallon explained the “top-down” strategies as being legislative and enforceable, the “bottom-up” being reflexive movements created through fertile fallacies, and the middle being the “glue” that holds our society together: national pastimes, patriotism, culture, and uniquely within America - the Christian Faith.

The concept of “white privilege” has embedded itself within nearly every stratum of our culture in the United States, championed by progressives and those that are seeking to deconstruct our current narratives and historical hierarchies. As the church has become the purposed focus of those seeking to balkanize the church, it should not be a surprise that this pernicious concept has been used as a divisive tool to divide the church. Listen as Dr. Thomas Ascol of Founders Ministries examines the origins and effects of the foreign importation of “white privilege” in the body of Christ. This presentation was given on January 16, 2019 at the Sovereign Nations 'Social Justice & The Gospel' Conference in Atlanta, Georgia preceding the G3 Conference.

Intersectionality as a social concept has revolutionized the entire victimhood culture across the political and educational spectrum. Dr. Josh Buice, Director of the G3 Conference, explains how Intersectionality is a unifying framework hypothesis for a brave new religion.

Does the ‘woke’ church movement have any Biblical and historical validity? Dr. James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries provides an exegetical examination of this current position from the pages of Scripture and historical theology.

Virtue signaling is the practice of trying to put one's own moral superiority on display by saying or doing something that has no real practical benefit other than to announce agreement with the most stylish opinion of whatever happens to be trending at the moment. Listen as Phil Johnson of Grace to You examines this aberrant micro-reflexive practice amongst the new ‘woke’ evangelicals.

Dr. Voddie Baucham brings our first detailed message by defining what “social justice” is by the definitions provided by the adherents of the movement. Dr. Baucham then provides a polemic from an orthodox Christian understanding of justice.

Postmodern thought has now made inroads into what until very recently, were conservative, Biblical Christian circles, all with the smiling face of “social justice.” The rapidity with which these deadly ideas have spread from the culture at large into churches and Christian organizations is truly shocking - all with an ever-present progressive political undertone that has become noticeable as the movement has gained steam. While the French postmodernists, Derrida and Foucault, will not be immediately familiar to many citizens of western culture, their collective concepts have wreaked havoc amongst the socio-political and educational landscape in North America over the past decade. As our secular educational institutions have become battlegrounds to “tear down the patriarchy” and to “root out white privilege,” this same battle has emerged within the most conservative of strongholds of the Christian church catching many congregants and seminarians unaware. With this in mind, Sovereign Nations held its third purposed event titled “Social Justice & The Gospel: The God-breathed Hierarchy and the Postmodern Crisis within the Church.” It is our hope that these assembled scholars will help to elucidate the primary issues and concerns of this dangerous movement.

What is an open society? The answer to this question as well as an examination of the pitfalls and inconsistencies of Karl Popper's utopian theories will help you to understand nearly all of the current challenges that are rocking the supportive pillars of nations around the world. No matter where you travel within the confines of western civilization you will experience the chaos of rampant societal change. Whether it be mass unvetted migration, gender fluidity, racial unrest, or myriads of other issues we are facing today, what is the main source or root of the problem? The "why" and the civilizational struggle in our epoch of time can be summed up by pointing to one concise battleground: sovereign nations vs. open societies.

What has happened at our nation's traditional Evangelical Christian seminaries and colleges? Over the past several years, pastors and professors graduating from seminaries in the United States seem to be more familiar with French postmodernists, liberal radicals, and open society progressives. These wayward philosophies manifest themselves in concepts such as critical race theory, white privilege, systemic racism and other forms of postmodern deconstructionism. What exactly is going on and how can this problem be reversed? The answer lies in two forms. First, in the average evangelical church pew in the form of the common man or woman who takes the responsibility of being a good Berean along with the infallible guide of Holy Scripture. Secondly, in faithful pastors who are willing to endure criticism and hardship in order to break from the postmodern direction of their denominations, para-church ministries, and seminaries. A valuable resource suggested for this episode, Steven Hicks "Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault" is linked below. https://www.amazon.com/Explaining-Postmodernism-Skepticism-Socialism-Rousseau/dp/0983258406 Read more at https://sovereignnations.com.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson burst onto the scene and became an internet sensation in 2017, dishing out common sense replies to the excesses of out-of-control, wacky postmodernism and the liberal progressive empires dispensing draconian challenges to free speech and cognitive liberty that these movements promote. Peterson’s critiques of the oppressor vs oppressed neo-Marxist narratives of today’s social justice movements along with an equally critical examination of the founding Father’s of postmodernism: Michele Foucault and Jacques Derrida, have been devastating -– showing the paper tigers of postmodernism for what they really are. Respected reformed Christian scholars and apologists such as Dr. James White, Pastor Douglas Wilson, and Dr. Owen Strachan have had a fairly balanced understanding of the positives of Dr. Peterson - as well as helping to provide a polemic that also understands and elucidates the issues with Peterson’s worldview apart from the soteriological aspects of the Gospel.  And these are balanced and fair views But there is a terribly negative push coming from men and women who are at the pinnacles of Christian denominational or seminary power who are trying to protect their own new, current, postmodern, urban ministry, progressive agendas driven by the over-arching strategies that we covered in Episode 5 of The Causes of Things: the Bibles Badges and Business schemes. This attack will be coming from Deconstructionist Christians who will encourage their followers to completely reject Peterson as they forcefully attack Peterson’s training in Jungian psychoanalysis. What should you do? How should you approach your consideration of Dr. Peterson's work? Join us as we discover "The Causes of Things." Read more at sovereignnations.com

https://sovereignnations.com/2018/07/30/christianity-in-a-postmodern-crisis/ The protestant evangelical church has been a massive conservative force over the past 50 years.  With nearly 40 million members, evangelicals are normally politically active, voting for their morals as well as for the preservation of our republic. But something has happened over the past 7 years or so that has radically changed the priorities and mission of the largest evangelical seminaries and churches in the United States.  Seminaries previously focused on Scriptural exegesis and proclamation are now focusing on teaching their future pastors postmodern concepts such as critical race theory and intersectionality.  Churches throughout the nation are pushing progressive agendas along with classes that feature the teaching of unconscious bias training along with the deceptive idea of ‘white privilege’. Faithful church members are being encouraged to reject constitutional conservatives and to embrace open borders, reject normative patriotism, and embrace progressive concepts and social justice policies normally reserved for radical socialists or open society adherents. Rejecting any respect or support for President Donald Trump, the new progressive Christian front has a obvious political edge.  While stating that it is “a-political,’ the deconstructionist Christian movement churn out articles, videos, conferences, and tweets that promote progressive policies such as open borders, equity-based concepts, and social justice endeavors. What is happening and why is it happening? On this episode of The Causes of Things, we will explore the genesis of this massive paradigm shift within the Christian Church.

If you listen closely to the speeches and discussions of world leaders and global policymakers in today’s news and social media, you will hear a term repeated by folks such as Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Rex Tillerson and the venerable shadowy puppet master George Soros. The term might have slipped by you as it sounds rather friendly and innocuous: “Open Society’ When this term is normally used, you will hear it used by progressive politicians while bemoaning of the election results in Italy, Austria, the United States and the British Brexit as threats to Open Society and the terrible rise of nationalism and populism. Maybe you have heard these things and have felt a bit confused as to why preserving one’s nation and culture would be a bad thing? Let us together examine some basics in regards to Open Societies, where the concept came from and who is currently making the big push for a borderless non-constitutional government, without fully informing their citizenry on of their intentions in the United States and Europe.

The key term to understand any developments in politics, religion, financial markets, or social sciences today is the loaded power word, reflexivity. In simple terms, reflexivity can be simply understood as a “self-fulfilling prophecy” or as an outcome that can be determined or assured due to overwhelming propaganda. In other words, if you are one of the elite masters of the universe and since all truth claims are subjectively suspect to fallibility; you can make up your own truth claim up and can create your own version of the future – since you are brilliant, one of the powerful elite, and know what’s best for everyone else, implant the fertile fallacy, a fat lie that demands action, into a continuous feedback loop. Then shout that fallacy far and wide from the mountaintops. Use every available media outlet: TV, radio, social media, and, specifically in the United States, the church in order to fertilize your fertile fallacy, make it the center of all conversation – create a crisis and insist that everyone else answer to your fallacious creation. In the end, the reflexive action that is created is never with the intent of solving the fertile fallacy – in the end it is meant to move the needle further to accomplishing your greater goals: the deconstruction of western civilization and the creation of an “open society."
