Christians Need Better Discipleship on How to Righteously Wield Power

We have discipled Christians to be private, agreeable, and quiet. We taught them to keep their distance from power. The fruit of that formation is all around us: surrender.

The instinct runs deeper than strategy. It is a quiet gnosticism that treats the visible world of politics, markets, institutions, and the body as lower and suspect, a casualty of the fall to be endured until the soul escapes upward.

Genesis tells a different story. God surveys the material creation and calls it very good. Then, while the world is still unfallen, He gives the mandate: be fruitful, fill the earth, subdue it, take dominion. Dominion is the original human vocation. The Word took on flesh to affirm it, and Scripture ends with a renewed creation, new heavens and new earth. Every square inch belongs to Christ, and He means to reign over all of it.

We have treated faithfulness as retreat, and the world took the ground we left behind.

In politics, we called the work dirty and handed our neighbor to whoever was willing to rule him. Government is a God-ordained office, and our calling is to hold it as a minister of God for the good of the governed. In economics, we treated wealth as suspect and ranked business beneath real ministry, then buried the talents we were told to multiply.

Stewardship means deploying capital to build institutions, employ people, and bless generations. In culture, across the academy, the arts, media, law, and technology, we walked out of the rooms where a civilization learns what to love. Those rooms shape a people, and others now furnish them. We live downstream of that departure and act surprised that enemies of God hold the ground.

Here is the plain fact. Power flows to whoever will pick it up. When Christians set it down, people with no fear of God take hold of it.

So we disciple people to wield power righteously. Power is stewardship, held on behalf of God and aimed at the good of others. Authority answers to a law above the ruler. Influence rests on character, submits to accountability, and sits lightly in the hand because it belongs to Christ.

The pattern is the Lord who held all authority and washed feet. That posture is what a serious discipleship of power exists to form, and it is what keeps strength in the service of God rather than the self.

The way forward is to build. Recover the goodness of creation and the dominion mandate as the ground of confident, constructive work. Enter the spheres with competence and conviction. Take the long, generational view. Plant institutions. Steward capital. Raise children. Occupy the offices of real influence as servants under Christ’s authority.

Righteous power blesses a people. The most basic dominion of all begins at the hearth, with a heritage of children like arrows in a warrior’s hand.

Build.

@WhiteHouse Everyone has faith in something…let’s be specific…

*There is no great American republic with Christian Faith in Jesus Christ.”

[Cameron Teich, CEPA® @TheCameronTeich]

Just discovered that I have at least 30 ancestors that came over to the New World from the 1630s to the 1650s 14-15 generations ago.

Just incredible what our people have built from the raw and wild land that God has given to us.

Lord willing we will continue to build and not allow our nation to be conquered by those with no alliance to the history of our nation.

250 years strong.

🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸

*nothing better until that child says “dada”

*nothing better until that child says they love you.

*nothing better until that child says that you’re their hero

*nothing better than when that child says “watch what I can do” and then just jumps up and flails their hands and feet then looks at you and says “cool huh? Aren’t you proud of me?”

But seriously, kids are the best, and it’s 100% what you make of it. We are blessed to be welcoming our 4th in the next couple of weeks!

I don’t even think it’s a set number anymore.

If 40% of the money supply can be printed in 16-24 months (Covid) then it’s not a matter of a set number.

With real inflation at 8-10% a year, a $5M lifestyle requires $10M in only 7 years….

I’d say it’s more about earning more than you spend and then investing the excess in some way to slightly beat true inflation.

Gone are the days where you hit your “number” and then coast.

@romanhelmetguy What about if someone’s truth simply is that they believe themselves to be an American citizen, does that count?

When establishing an internal virtual family office for gen 1, accomplishing short term objectives/needs is essential, but its imperative that the longer term vision isn’t forgotten or ignored.

@trentjhughes Survivorship bias.

Vast majority of businesses don’t make it past 5 years…and that’s primarily related to if they had good initial funding.
