About this episode
In “Selling Out Christ,” Rushdoony warns that modern churches risk betraying Christ by surrendering their independence to the state through licensure, regulation, and especially voucher schemes for Christian schools. The early church rejected all state control because Christ alone is King, and Christian freedom—including tax exemption—was won through costly resistance, not compromise. Voucher programs, he argues, inevitably bring state control, function as a form of socialism, and are a strategic payoff to neutralize the growing Christian school movement. By accepting state money, churches exchange lordship for convenience, repeating Judas’s betrayal in a modern form. True Christian institutions, Rushdoony insists, must be sustained by the faithful themselves, for dependence on the state always ends in the loss of freedom, faith, and obedience to Christ.
