God's Law and Society: Seminar
By Jay Rogers
Published October 2008
Here are some comments from people who have used one of our videos as a multi-part seminar.
I used God’s Law and Society for a Sunday School class I taught. The videos are very well focused on specific issues regarding a Biblical view of civil government. As one who lobbies on the Second Amendment, I am well aware of the need for Americans, and particularly Christians, to understand that if we are to remain free, we must stand on the unalterable word of God.

I have been viewing the videos for my own instruction, but also with a view to sharing it with my co-workers in China. It is very well done and the 20 minute sections are well suited to group instruction.

I have aired this video on local public access cable. I am starting a church with the Reformed Presbyterian Church in the United States (RPCUS) and would love to have the study guide to use for teaching the video series.

I thought the video was brilliant. I plan on using it for a small group setting. This is a very important subject matter. The application of the Law in a Christians’ life must be understood and it shines throughout the video. I really think you have produced one of the most important videos on Christian living.

I am also looking forward to showing them with people do not yet understand the importance of God in the totality of our lives, including our government, our workplace, the education of our children and the whole of society. I am in hopes that they will begin to understand. Again, thank you very much for your work.

We have only just begun viewing and discussing your video God’s Law and Society! Our adult cell group has for some time been studying the founding of our nation and what our forefathers, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights has had to say about our relationship and the nations when it comes to our worship and service to God. Your video addresses many of these same issues that we have been discussing and will help us to better identify what God’s Law is and how we as Americans and individual citizens and Christian church members can better serve Him in our churches and community.

I enjoyed the video tapes. It’s refreshing to see a work that takes the 10 Commandments (the heart of the moral Law of God) seriously. Those who believe that Old Testament law is invalid need to honestly answer this question. When we read the New Testament do we find the ethical standard changed from the Old Testament? Did Christ and the Apostles reveal a brand new, comprehensive, ethical system? The answer is, No, they assume one. They list sins which are merely asserted as being obviously evil. If we look for a brand new ethical system in the NT, we surely will be disappointed. The NT everywhere points us back to the OT.

Martin Luther: 1953 Classic (DVD)
Niall MacGinnis – Digital Gold Collection
The dramatic classic film of Martin Luther’s life was released in theaters worldwide in the 1950s and was nominated for an Academy Award. A magnificent depiction of Luther and the forces at work in the surrounding society that resulted in his historic reforming efforts, this film traces Luther’s life from a guilt-burdened monk to his eventual break with the Roman Catholic Church.
In spite of its age, this film continues to be a popular resource to introduce Luther’s life. This historical epic captures the life and times of the greatest figure of the Protestant Reformation with depth and clarity, while giving a glimpse at the private man in the eye of the storm. Luther’s protest against the established order of the Church gave birth to one of the largest religious and cultural movements history and serves as a prime example of how one man’s conscience can change the course of human events.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the “historical Jesus” — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.
Ten parts, over two hours of instruction!

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - A Christian Manifesto (DVD)
That Swiss Hermit Strikes Again!
Dr. Schaeffer, who was one of the most influential Christian thinkers in the twentieth century, shows that secular humanism has displaced the Judeo-Christian consensus that once defined our nation’s moral boundaries. Law, education, and medicine have all been reshaped for the worse as a consequence. America’s dominant worldview changed, Schaeffer charges, when Christians weren’t looking.
Schaeffer lists two reasons for evangelical indifference: a false concept of spirituality and fear. He calls on believers to stand against the tyranny and moral chaos that come when humanism reigns-and warns that believers may, at some point, be forced to make the hard choice between obeying God or Caesar. A Christian Manifesto is a thought-provoking and bracing Christian analysis of American culture and the obligation Christians have to engage the culture with the claims of Christ.
