If Roe has been struck down, then glory to God. But sit tightโthe unprecedented leak means that we might be watching the outside rings of some unprecedented palace intrigues.
How to pray during electoral uncertainty: Pray that if Biden is ahead through cheating, that it would be identified and reversed. And if this is not the case, then pray that Biden would be declared the winner. And that God would deliver us from him and his agenda by other means.
Look at how mild and reasonable the Georgia electoral reform measures actually are, and then at how the Left has reacted to it, with hair on fire. That should tell you everything you need to know about the 2020 election disputes.
As I was saying . . .
@costiwhinn
and I had a good conversation this afternoon. That is, it was good until I accidentally doxxed him. But apart from that, everything is good between us now.
When Hamas attacked Israel, I saw of rash of people online reminding us that the Jews don't believe in Jesus. But now, as Israel prepares to attack Gaza, nobody is reminding us that Muslims don't believe in Jesus. I find this curious.
You realize that the cultural landscape is pretty grim. How grim is it? Well, conservative Christians are being tempted to think that Victoria's Secret abandoning plus-size models and going back to the sexy ones is a sign of pending revival.
Very thankful that the elders of Grace Community Church decided to meet yesterday, and were able to do so unmolested. We held them up in prayer in our worship service yesterday, and I would encourage you all to do the same. This is no little thing.
The opening prayer for the 117th Congress concluded with "amen" and "awomen," and I regret to inform you all that my patience with the 117th Congress, at the conclusion of their opening prayer, was exhausted.
The collapse of the gospel-centered movement was not due to their center. It was the result of a refusal to define the circumference. The gospel as the center of what exactly?
The year began with the authorities exhorting us to remember that we were all in this together, and gradually evolved to the point where they were advertising hotlines to report those who were insufficiently in this together with you.
Honest concern here, friends. The concern is that if Christian Nationalists get their way and take over everything, it would be a very short time before they wouldn't even let Jews on the campuses of our Ivy League universities. Deeply concerning.
Yard signs all over our town say, โmasking up to love our neighbors.โ The problem is that nobody appears to know what a neighbor is, what love is, or what a mask is. Other than that, it is quite inspiring.
Pennsylvania reportedly issued 1.8M mail-in ballots, and in the presidential race they took in 2.5M of them. I believe that the conclusion is undeniable, which is that I am doing that white supremacy math thing again.
In the wake of the Tucker interview, I have gotten some good questions on "bottom-up reformation" versus a "judicious use of power." I will be addressing that one, and a number of others, on Monday. In the meantime, think more both/and than either/or. That should tide you over.
If someone actually sees the levels of crazy our generation has reached, and yet conducts his life as though everything were normal, he has attained to the highest stage of hypocrisy possible.
Let us not be hasty in proclaiming Kamala the first woman to be this close to the presidency. Since we have discovered that being a woman is dependent entirely on how the person feels about it, she might be the fifth or sixth & I have had doubts about Woodrow for some time now.
Certain things really do belong to Caesar, and other things most emphatically do not. One of the things that does not belong to him is defining what things belong to him.
As pride month continues, we can only lament the fact that they picked June instead of August. Had it been August, we could have pointed out that the fact that pride goeth "before the fall" was a statement with layers.
Times of crisis are moments when God decides to pressure-test nations, cities, societies, parties, and movements. A crisis often reveals where all the true fault lines are. But before getting excited, make sure to read the whole thread. 1/11
Too few see the masking orders for what they ultimately are. Our modern and very swollen state wants to get the largest possible number of people to get used to putting up with the most manifest lies.
And this means all of us owe our existence to the exhaustive sovereignty of a God who is infinitely good. And so God in His goodness superintends all folly, stupidity, absurdity, fatuity, obtuseness and imbecility. And here we are! 7/7
As pride month continues, let us continue with our quest of finding out what that + sign means. The smart money is on what happens after a family friendly drag show.
An unfortunate skirmish regarding Thomism has broken out between Stephen Wolfe and James White. I would prefer that we all save our ammo for other more threatening adversaries. 1/11
When teaching your children about the attributes of God, try to use illustrations they can relate to. When you teach that God is invisible, you can say, you know, like Canadian truckers.
@TomBuck
Because with all its faults, it was way better than our current systemโ60 million children dead, and drag queens reading to the ones who make it.
A couple of times within the last week or so, I have been taken to task for my language by The New York Times, and by Russell Moore in Christianity Today. I am not sure, but I suspect that a memo has gone out. 1/7
I am getting inquiries, so I should tell you all that the plan is to respond to KDYโs Moscow Mood piece this coming Monday. Stand by for some edification!
As we mark Pride History Month, let us not forget the three lesser known cities of the plain. They were, after all, just as destroyed as their other more famous sisters. They were Admah, Zeboiim, and Zoar.
#NeverForget
Lack of a uterus means that you ought to be quiet about abortion. On the bright side, that does not disqualify you from entering a womenโs weight lifting competition.
With regard to the critics of Christian nationalism, it was at least good to see them rally to the cause of Jewish nationalism. Perhaps some day they will be willing to entrust Christians with the same level of responsibility. 8/11
When folks see me out and about without a mask, they might assume that I am objecting to the attempted insult to my personal liberty. There is that, of course, but the deepest objection is to the attempted insult to our shared humanity.
So. It turns out that Viking Man is a radical climate change activist guy. Well, actually, he is a camera-hound guy, but these things all blur together these days.
If this demented catering to everybodyโs emotional problems doesnโt stop accelerating pretty soon, I am going to press the point by flying across the country with my emotional support wolverine. Or honey badger.
So if anyone asks me if Christ is king, I will reply that of course He is. I will also say that in the day of His wrath He will consign all liars and hypocrites to the outer darkness. A number of Christ-is-kingers need to repent. They need to be born again. Forgiveness awaits.
The thing about the voter fraud story is how so many respected voices are so eager to keep us from circulating any stories on it or otherwise talking about it. But people who feel free to curate debates over voter fraud would have no qualms about curating an election either.
In these times, let us remember the stages that our evangelical leaders have brought us through: 1. There will not be any need to fight. 2. There may come a time when it necessary to fight. 3. It is too early to fight. 4. It is too late to fight. This is a post-Christian era.
So Bill Gates has a vaccine that he wants to give to the world. This is yet one more area where our abandonment of classical learning is leaving us unnecessarily vulnerable and exposed. If we knew our Virgil better we would know that we should beware of Geeks bearing gifts.
Abraham Kuyper speaks from the grave: "the shameful idea of some heartless magistrates to close the churches during epidemics in the interest of public hygiene" (Our Program, p. 240).
Here is my proposal for cutting through the thickets of pronoun confusion. For people willing to obey the voice of the Lord in their XX or XY chromosomes, we stay with the standard approachโhe, him and she, her. For everyone else, my pronoun of choice is wut.
Skeptics of the president's voter fraud challenges are equivocating on how they use the word "evidence." Evidence that someone was murdered is not the same evidence necessary to convict the one who did it. It is possible to prove fraud long before we can prove who did it.
On MLK Day, let me go on record as supporting the "white supremacist" notion that a man should not be judged by the color of his skin, but rather by the content of his character.
As we continue to observe Pride Month, let us redouble our efforts to remove the Bs from the LGBTQ+ line-up. I cannot believe, after all these years, that they are allowed to maintain their commitment to a simple binary choice in their very name. The B is actually for bigotry.
So today the Senate apparently voted to confirm the first black woman to the Supreme Court, but as we are not a nation of ethnologists or biologists, nobody is quite sure. The celebrations are therefore muted.
Calling all wokesters! Is there an ethical standard overarching all of us, requiring obedience from all? If so, what is that standard, and what is it based on? If not, we would appreciate it if you left us alone.
Is Christian Nationalism (CN) in any way responsible for fomenting or encouraging the recent rise of alt-right ethnic and sexual animosity? The answer, for those who have scooted to the edge of their seats, is no. Follow me closely. 1/11
In order to reject Christian nationalism, a Christian must reject one of the above. Which one will it be? Otherwise, welcome to Christian nationalism. 11/11
@SovMichael
Michael and Kevin, critiquing me is fine, go for it. But try to find something plausible. I have been fighting commies since the seventies, and pomos since I first heard of them. And when I say Jesus actually rose from the dead, these are words I preach, not things I "mouth."
Kavanaugh's argument ought to be: I should be on the Supreme Court because I have never tolerated a circus like this one in any court where I was the judge.
This morning we found that someone had dumped out the large flower pot in front of the Christ Church offices. What I canโt figure out is how they found out it was our memorial to Robert E. Lee. There must be a mole!
If Joe Biden is inaugurated as president, and duly sworn in, my position on the election will be the one that I am not allowed to have or talk about and, in some jurisdictions, to think.
