The Pulpit’s Mandate for Experiential Preaching

1 week ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

Ryan Denton recently (and correctly, in my view) critiqued modern preaching’s “90% exegesis, 10% application” model, contrasting it with the “urgent, warm, and searching” sermons of Spurgeon and the Puritans, who prioritized application.
The Church-State Debate Is a Humanistic Dead End

1 week ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

On May 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a Religious Liberty Commission, a move hailed by some as a defense of faith and decried by others as a threat to church-state separation. The commission, chaired by Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and including figures like Franklin Graham and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, aims to promote “peaceful religious pluralism” and counter threats to First Amendment rights.
Tariffs Are Unjust and Undermine Righteous Dominion

2 weeks ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

The Lancaster Patriot recently reported the Senate’s 49-49 deadlock, failing to overturn President Trump’s 10% baseline tariffs, a decision that risks economic disruption. As a theonomist, I view this as more than a policy misstep—it is a failure to align with biblical principles, judged by God’s revealed Word. Tariffs are forced taxation—a coercive act that must be weighed against biblical standards of justice and righteousness.

1 month ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

Podcast - Immigration and the American Dream

1 month ago | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

Chris Hume is joined by Adam Terrell, Josiah Huestis, Julio Delgado, and Luke Saint for a thought-provoking discussion on immigration, sparked by clips from an episode of The Sword & The Trowel. They explore the contrast between the message of the 1883 sonnet, “The New Colossus,” which welcomes the “wretched refuse” of nations to America, and the current mindset of keeping people out at all costs.
Purity Spiraling, Pietism, and the Standard of ‘Winning’

Nov 17, 2024 | futureofchristendom.org | Chris Hume

Ten years ago, when theonomists argued for fidelity to God’s Word in the public square, contra both the Republicans and Democrats, the last thing we were called was pietists. Four years ago, when they critiqued Trump’s Operation Warp Speed or Fauci and his antics, we never heard the phrase “purity spiraling.”But time changes all things.

Podcast - Stephen Wolfe’s Civil Power Syllogism

Oct 25, 2024 | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

Stephen Wolfe recently released a video response to Brian Zahnd’s Christian Voter Guide. In that video, Wolfe does a fine job of critiquing many of Zahnd’s claims. In the process, he makes an argument for using civil power for “human good.” In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Chris Hume plays a clip from Wolfe’s video and raises a few points of disagreement with Wolfe (though not in terms of his critiques of Zahnd). Audio available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcasts.
Podcast - Sheriff Preaches Statism

Oct 15, 2024 | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

As more and more man-made legislation spews forth from state capitals (and D.C.), Americans continue to be brainwashed in the religion of statism. Recent comments by a California sheriff highlight the degree to which Americans have accepted statism. Audio available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Apple Podcasts. Chris Hume is the host of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast and the author of several books, including Seven Statist Sins. He can be reached at [email protected].
Zimmerman’s Milquetoast Milk Bill

Jun 4, 2024 | thelancasterpatriot.com | Chris Hume

State Rep. Dave Zimmerman refused to stand boldly against statism and tyranny when Amos Miller, a Lancaster County farmer, was raided and sued by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. It appears Zimmerman is now posturing by sponsoring a bill that would allow us lowly peasants the freedom to buy more types of “raw milk” products – but only, of course, if the farmer submits to man-made legislation and permit requirements.
