A Political Program for Christians

1. Self-discipline under God's revealed law 2. Avoiding the centralization of power (localism) 3. Service as the principle of dominion 4. Personal responsibility for one's actions 5. The family as the primary agency of welfare 6. Salvation by grace--not knowledge, or power or law (State legislation) 7. Compound growth over long periods of time (anti-revolution) 8 Neither individualism nor collectivism is the way---covenantalism instead Whenever a Christian begins to think about various specific social, military, political, educational, or economic problems, he has to think through these fundamentals, and then apply them to the specific field of study. This is as true of monetary theory as it is in the other fields. from p. 37 Honest Money: biblical Principles of Money and Banking, Gary North
