Christians Taking Dominion in America!
“Dominionism” is a term—often used by critics or secular journalists—to describe a
belief system within Christianity that asserts Christians have a God-given mandate to occupy, influence, and exercise “dominion” over the various spheres of society. This includes government, media, education, the arts, business, and family life.
They’re correct. Christians do have a God Given Mandate to take Dominion. Christians that fail to do so are practicing a Capitulating Christianity.
We’re not called to capitulate.
Taking Dominion is a direct application of Genesis 1:28, where God commands humanity to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it.
The command to take Dominion was reiterated by “The Great Commission” given by Jesus in Matthew 28:18–20.
Christians following scripture believe that sin does not remove this responsibility. Therefore, the goal is not to abandon the world to secular decay, but to reclaim every “square inch” of creation for the Glory of God.
In 1 Peter 2:9 we, Christians, are identified as the people mandated to take Dominion.
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”
The phrase “peculiar people” means a people for God’s own possession, set apart and purchased for His specific purposes. In the context of the New Testament, this identity is conferred upon the Church—those who have been grafted into the promises of God through faith in Jesus Christ, superseding and replacing the national and ethnic boundaries of the old covenant.
This establishes that the community of believers is the true successor to the Old Testament concept of a nation set apart by God.
Too many modern Christians have been conditioned to believe that the world is a sinking ship, that they should just “wait for the rapture,” and that trying to fix society is futile. The Dominionist approach rejects this defeatism. It posits that Christ is already King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and that through faithfulness, obedience, and hard work over many generations, the influence of the Gospel will grow until it permeates all aspects of life throughout the world.
In short, Dominionism rejects the “retreatist” mindset. It is the belief that Christians should be master builders, pioneers, and culture warriors who do not shrink from the challenges of the world but instead work to order society according to God’s design.
Effective Dominionism is how Christians conquer the Seven Mountains. The mountains are:
1. Government: Local, state, and federal politics, including the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
2. Education: Schools, universities, and the research systems that shape the intellectual worldview of the next generation.
3. Media: News outlets, social media platforms, entertainment, and the digital information ecosystem.
4. Arts and Entertainment: Cinema, music, sports, and popular culture that dictate societal aesthetics and values.
5. Religion: Churches, denominations, and faith-based organizations (this mountain is often viewed as the “base” which must be renewed before others can be taken).
6. Family: The foundational structure of society; the mandate views the restoration of the nuclear family and traditional roles as paramount.
7. Business: Corporations, finance, entrepreneurship, and the marketplace where the resources and systems that sustain a society are generated.
Christians are Biblically mandated to take “Dominion” over the earth.
Dominionism stands in stark contrast to “pietism.” Pietism is the escapist view that the world is inherently evil and Christians should do nothing aside from waiting for the Rapture while our world implodes.
Pietism is suicidal empathy. It is castrating the Christian Church.
Success is forged in the pursuit of objectives. Pietism has no objectives. Pietism directs Christians to abdicate. This creates a cognitive dissonance that drives high-functioning believers toward secularism. Dominionism offers a vital, directed framework: the sanctification of earthly power to establish God’s law over the ruins of the modern world.
That’s what we’re doing.
