The Chalcedon Foundation has been called to teach the great work of Christian Reconstruction and serve as a “think tank for the self-governing Christian.” The only policies we teach are those of the Kingdom of God; we seek to function within this holy nation in order to better prepare it for greater dominion.

Patience
We miss the point, in any study of patience, if we forget that patience is presented to us first of all as an aspect of God’s dealings with us. God is very patient with us who constantly try his patience. His attitude is often called "long-suffering," an accurate term for his readiness to wait for us to repent and to change.

Honor vs. Envy
It is not always easy to honor those in authority, but lawlessness and anarchism have absolutely no justification in Scripture. God's providence has placed all of us in our respective positions. We must first recognize that providence and acknowledge that God's plan for us must supersede our own.

The Missing Ingredient of Christian Community
The community of Christ’s people can offer an alternative to the status quo of a state and society in rebellion to God by instruction, the development of spiritual capital, and bringing God’s ways to bear upon the world to wholly liberate it.

Voting Ourselves Out of Freedom
We have not yet had anyone run for office, or apply for a job, or serve as a pastor, on a program of planned deceit. Instead, they offer us fair promises which offer us solutions by programs, but which bring us only more troubles, or more troubles with taxes.

Authority and Law
Statist law lacks moral force because, unlike God’s law, it is not written into man’s being. Therefore, statist law only grows more coercive while the social order deteriorates as man—who lacks God’s internal moral force—is demoralized further by humanism. Justice declines as statism takes on a therapeutic identity declaring all dissenters as in need of reeducation.
