You might be wondering, “How am I a ‘Culture-Former’ simply by being a faithful churchman?” Good question.
First of all, God has covenantally given the whole world—not to unbelievers—but to the children of the church, the children of grace, the children of God. (See Ps. 37:9, 11, & 22 for just one set of many Biblical proofs of this.) Those who are justified by grace through faith in Christ; and who are bound together in the body of Christ are given jurisdiction and dominion of the earth.
Therefore, those with ownership rights are also endued with governing responsibilities. Now, you might be asking, “If all this is true, then why is Sunday, church, and worship so key and important?” The answer to this question is along these lines: “Culture-formers” have got to hear from and be spirited by the Ultimate Culture Governor, God Himself. And HE has designed it so that those who would be His “vice-regents” must be instructed and encouraged by Him, from and in His church, on the Lord’s Day.
The Forum for Ecclesiocentricity is designed to educate Christians and non-Christians alike to understand the Biblical teaching concerning the Church (the "Puritan" church in particular), with regard to its principal role on the earth. When this is achieved, it is hoped that the Church would then be in a better position to convey Christ's redemptive virtues to the civil government (state), and the family.
