Seeking First the Kingdom of Man

Mark R. Rushdoony / Chalcedon Foundation:
Mankind is, after several millennia, still trying hard to make good on Satan's promise that man can ascend to the status of deity, that he can "be as gods, knowing good and evil." A god does not know good and evil in a merely intellectual sense: he knows it because he determines or decrees it. Man's ongoing sin is, by its very nature, his quest to rule as a god. Sin makes man want to decree, to decide authoritatively as a sovereign, autonomous power. Man playing god must manage to circumvent the authority of the God he seeks to dethrone, or at least diplomatically manage Him as an equal.
