All we need is enlightened, liberal thought.

Well, everything's coming apart in our hands.

Basically, the recognition is that we need Christ.

It's either, as I'm fond of saying, it's either Christ or chaos.

And you just need to look around to see the chaos.

Basically, the whole thing is coming apart in our hands.

And so consequently, I think we need to cry out to the Lord.

We need to say, God, we have painted ourselves into a very bad corner.

The theocratic element is our recognition that all—I'm not arguing for us to become a theocracy.

We are a theocracy right now.

All societies are theocratic.

The only thing that distinguishes them is who the god is.

Every social order has a god of the system.

So in a democracy, a pure democracy, Demos, the people, would be the god of the system.

The god of the system is the one past which there is no further appeal.

Now, I believe that since all societies are inescapably theocratic,

And the only question is, who's Theo?

That Theos, that God, that deity, should be the true one, should be the true God.

And of course, as a Christian, I believe the Christian God is the true and living God.

So that's the first thing.
