PLI's Tenets
- God’s law is liberty (James 1:25), not equity
- The only place “equity” is rightly used as a qualifier is for application of justice
- Justice is defined accordingly to Leviticus 19:15 as the impartial application of God’s law to man
- Government is instituted under Christ as a guardian of civil liberty
- A central role of just government is to display the wrath and judgement of God on creation for our sins
Principle "i's"
Imitate
Not only is one of the best paths to success imitating those who have already found it, but imitation is also a command of Christ given to us through His Apostles (Ephesians 5:1-2). In thought, word, and deed, PLI seeks to imitate the character of the Lord Jesus who reigns supreme and with perfect justice over His kingdom of liberty. By imitating Christ through the help of the Spirit, PLI and its followers will accomplish their mission through the character of Christ which shines a bright light to a world in present darkness.
Inspire
Zeal and fervency for Christ and His kingdom of liberty must be fought for; the world is filled with temptations to cowardice, apathy, hopelessness, materialism, and the like. The saints and our neighbors need to be constantly pointed to the work of Christ through the cross, the freedom from sin He afforded to us in it, and the resultant kingdom of liberty we are called to help usher in. As with any army, it is necessary to powerfully proclaim truth and purpose so as to charge up the spirits of the soldiers to fight for victory; PLI and its followers will constantly seek to inspire both itself and outsiders towards our duties to fight for liberty to achieve the victory that is promised.
Instruct
The fastest way to condemn future generations to tyranny, poverty, and apostasy is to fail to instruct them (Proverbs 1:7-8, 4:13, 22:6, Ecclesiastes 7:19, 9:18, 2 Timothy 3:15, Romans 10:14). As exemplified by rampant beliefs in Western and international churches of pietism, antinomianism, perversion of biblical “justice” with “social justice”, healthcare & housing as “human rights”, and welfare statism, proper biblical understanding and instruction has been lost on many within the Christian sphere. The only way to deter such tyranny over, and perversion of, God given rights is to remain utterly committed to the education training of saints and their neighbors with respect to proper biblical fundamentals of truth and reasoning; PLI and its followers will accomplish their mission through such commitment.
Implement
A common trap and failure of man is to be well-intentioned, well-meaning, and idealistic, but never following through and fighting to make any of the visions a reality. It is not enough to think and theorize, we must act. A common but very apt quote captures these dangers well: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” … we will not be such men! “Good men” (saints) doing nothing in the face of evil is a sin of omission; to omit our duty to push back against the present darkness and resist evil, especially that of corrupt, tyrannical government, is great sin to our neighbors. PLI and its followers will use a process of goal setting, prioritizing, assessment, and augmentation, as well as guided mentorship and a plurality of leadership, to make sure actionable steps are being taken to accomplish our mission.
Sacrifice
Yes, the ‘s’ is very significant in PLI’s “I’s”; none of PLI’s goals will be accomplished without sacrifice. Sacrifice may come in the form of time, finances, foregone career pursuits, foregone relationships, foregone inheritances, and possibly even the ultimate sacrifice of our lives. When the horrors and realities of government tyranny in the absence of civil installments of God’s kingdom are deeply understood and comprehended, such sacrifices become more obviously necessary and readily made. They must be made to secure life, liberty, and biblical justice for future generations, and ultimately for the fulfillment of the great commission and ushering in of God’s kingdom. Though originally made lowercase for nomenclature appearance, a lowercase ‘s’ also may serve to constantly remind us that such sacrifices are not being made for personal glory, but for the cause of Christ and His kingdom; truly, when the cause is rightly understood in heart, and the costs of attaining it are comprehended, little room is left to consider personal glory.
Logo Explained
The Sword – Represents the sword of the civil authorities (Romans 13:4) who are sanctioned by Christ to defend God’s law of liberty (James 1:25) for creation by using it to be “a terror to evil doers”. Anarchy is antithetical to God’s prescribed order for creation; civil magistrates are given the sword to force and coerce evil doers into obedience to God’s law order of liberty.
Scales of Justice – The only correct understanding of justice is that which is defined by biblical law and applied to society as God’s word commands. Justice is defined to be “impartial” (Leviticus 19:15), meaning no favor should be shown when determining guilt, not to the poor or the rich, nor to any ethnicity; it is solely based on an individuals action’s against God’s commands.
On Earth As In Heaven – The complete fulfillment of the great commission is that God’s kingdom of liberty and justice will be fully instantiated on Earth in a completely redeemed and glorified form with loving, willful obedience of saints saved through the Gospel of Christ. The sheath of the sword doubles as the trunk of a tree representing God’s kingdom coming and taking root on Earth as in Heaven, all sealed by the cross representing Christ who is Lord of all.
