“Christianity should be twisted in with national constitutions, that the kingdoms of the world should become Christ's kingdoms, and their kings the church's nursing-fathers… do your utmost to make the nations Christian nations.”
Matthew Henry
This video is making the rounds on X. I thought it would make a good teaching opportunity for my daughters. I sat my 11- and 10-year-old daughters down and had them watch a bit of it. I asked what they thought. Without any prompting from me, they both said: 'They are immodest and
In 2016, I did not vote for president Trump. He wasn’t an abolitionist and I thought I was abstaining on principle. The problem was that I found myself still hoping he would win and was very glad he did (no thanks to me). In 2020, I voted for him because I saw that while he
The fact that this caused a firestorm shows that people want life without consequences. Our sins have consequences. God can forgive and cleanse the worst of us but we still may face consequences for our choices. He can at his prerogative keep us from many of the natural
1. The insidious wickedness of the "He Gets Us" campaign is that it twists the purpose of the incarnation. Jesus didn't take on flesh to be able to understand you. He didn't take on flesh to affirm all your interests. He took on flesh because you are a sinner.
1/2 This is a photo of a prostitute in 1910. Now consider what she was wearing to be seductive and compare it to what has become common clothing for young women to wear in our day. Prostitutes were more modest than what many will even wear to a wedding today.
Abortion is murder. Sodomy is an abomination. Both should be illegal. Feminism is satanic. There are only two sexes. Transgenderism is psycho. Drag Queens are gross perverts and should not be anywhere near children. Porn is enslavement. Pluralism is idolatry. Diversity is
1. The Westminster Catechism says 1 of the duties of the 9th commandment is an unwillingness to receive an evil report of a brother. It is a good impulse to be ready to defend a brother who is accused of evil and denies it. Christian’s should be loyal to each other.
Lauren Boebert and Kristi Noem are both unqualified to hold political office for the same reason. They should resign immediately. In fact they should have never ran. Isaiah 3:12
With the war in Israel/Palestine ongoing, you will most likely hear numerous opinions about what you, as a Christian, must believe. Be wary of simplistic answers and propaganda.
1. Some will argue that it's your Christian duty to support the nation of Israel because they are
The Jews I met in Israel had no problem saying that their fathers killed Jesus. They said it was justified. Some even said they would do it again.
If we love Jews, we speak the truth. But we must speak the whole truth too. They killed Jesus but we would have too if we
If the SBC were to reform it wouldn't allow women to be messengers to the convention where they get to vote ie exercise authority over the leadership of the convention. The whole thing is egalitarian.
Stonewall Jackson’s local church in Lexington like many churches had a midweek prayer meeting. Jackson did not enjoy public speaking and so was initially hesitant to pray aloud in public. After his pastor had taught the congregation on the duty of public prayer, Jackson met
Who would have guessed an organization called Sovereign Nations would opposed the concept of a nation and that nation submitting to the Sovereign King? But I guess if you platform gay affirming atheists you won’t like Christian Nationalism.
@UnreconYeoman
I put the qualification because its needed. As a pastor, I want to help people walk the narrow way. I've seen both ditches. While one ditch in our culture is more prevalent and I would rather someone overcorrect at first than not correct at all, I still don't want the same
One of the accusations against Christian Nationalists was that they made an idol out of America. But the truth is that it’s the anti-CN that have made an idol out of America. Watch as they defend putting up altars to Satan with “muh 1st Amendment.”
I’m tired of guys who fall all over themselves to condemn conservatives for any breach of acceptability and then pee on their leg to give the most charitable reading to the left.
There are a lot of strawmen out there about postmillennialism.
Postmill theology is not
1. an attempt to usher in a utopia.
2. an attempt to force Christ’s return and usher in the eternal kingdom through our good works
3. an attempt to overthrow social order
4. an attempt to
2/2 This is from a movie called Pretty Woman made in 1990. Julia Roberts is playing a prostitute and her clothing was considered provocative in the film. But today it’s quite common for women to wear clothing less modest than this.
Our culture has normalized women dressing
Yesterday was not the most criminal thing to happen in the Capitol building and it won’t even be the most lawless thing to happen this year in that building.
If you can’t beat a man’s argument, you can slander his character or go after his friends and family.
Of course if you are a Christian you won’t do this.
I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion that
@PastorMark
got ran out of Mars Hill by the same spirit that attacks the Moscow Mood. Then when reformed people didn’t get his back he went t to where he was welcome.
5. Compare the message of these ads with Christ’s own-Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. How about we spend millions of dollars to proclaim that.
#HeGetsUs
One thing to observe from our preaching at pride events is the number of mothers bringing their children. Many middle-aged women wore rainbow shirts that said “mom hugs.” Few fathers attended, and those who did appeared to be dragged along by their wives and children.
This is
2. These ads create a false Christ who is just like the culture. Instead of working 2 conform people to Christ, it conforms Christ to the sinful culture. It’s desperation like when some old pastor makes a video with him rapping to show how he's just as cool as all the kids.
4. A Christian bears with his brother. Cancel culture is built upon disloyalty and the impulse of a person to protect himself at all costs. He can not allow himself to bear any of the shame of his fallen brother so he backs away in order not to get caught in the fire.
1. It is a ridiculous idea to think that sodomy can be tolerated in society. It is an abomination and tyrannical. Sodom shows that those societies which practice this evil can not stand to abide near purity without wanting to corrupt or destroy the pure.
3. Hey, kids. I see you are into feminism and social justice. I am too. Isn't that cool? Don't you think I'm cool.
The ads do this by having Christ side with the world over against His church. Yes, Christ is like you because He too doesn't like Christians.
2. But one also should be open and ready to receive the truth when it is given. This means that when you back a brother who is accused you may end up with disappointment and egg on your face so to speak if they are in fact guilty. Brothers however are born for adversity.
3. Even if a brother is guilty, this doesn’t eviscerate your duty to loyalty and love. You can still love a guilty brother by calling them to repentance and supporting them through the consequences of their sin. You may encourage them to humbly face those consequences.
Therefore continue to be unwilling to receive an evil report of a brother but be open to the truth. Don’t deny guilt when it is evident but love your brother.
5. Now there are times Christians must separate from a guilty brother. That is when he is unrepentant. This is for the love of Christ, the church, and the brother. It’s never merely to protect your pride. Cancel culture plays on our pride and unwillingness to be loyal.

Outside of physical consequences? Isn’t that enough to want to avoid this. Or are you gnostic? We live in the body in this life. Our sin has lots of temporal consequences.
It possible for a woman to dress physically modest and yet be entirely immodest. You can cosplay the TRADwife, look like little house on the prairie, and still be feminist to the core.
True biblical modesty starts at the heart and then works it’s way out to the clothing.
Myth: Teaching your daughters to be modest is indoctrination and so you shouldn't say anything about it.
Truth: All children will be taught to live and think in certain ways. The issue is not whether they will be indoctrinated but rather by whom they will be indoctrinated and
As a pastor, I will give instruction from Bible to both men and women. But I am under no obligation when talking with one to mention the duties of the other. So when I give instruction to women, I won't fall into the whatabout men trap.
The pilgrims spent 66 days in a wooden boat traveling across the ocean dealing with wind and waves, dangerous storms, sicknesses like dysentery, hunger, and death along the journey. They built their homes and colony by hand while braving the wilderness. Many died. They did all
Christ is the one who told Moses that homosexuality is an abomination worthy of death. The people leaving the church would have crucified Christ. They don’t love Christ or Christlikeness.
Many people are leaving Christianity.
Not because they find the core beliefs too outlandish or the ethical demands too arduous.
They're leaving because the Christians they know and churches they've attended are so lacking in Christlikeness, especially toward LGBTQ+ folks.
The ERLC is a joke. They are always kissing up the left. These men are evil. Biden wasn’t selfless, he was forced out. These men have committed an untold amount harm to our nation. I hate them for their wicked lies.
“'Do not profane your daughter by making her a harlot, so that the land will not fall to harlotry and the land become full of lewdness.”
Leviticus 19:29
How many mothers have encouraged their daughters into harlotry but it’s the harlotry that doesn’t even get paid. They dress
To knowingly slander and libel another man’s good name in public is an awful sin and was a crime in most of the states. It’s still a crime to bear false witness in court.
You know what is worse than slander, libel, and false witness against a man?
Slandering, libeling, and
Before trans people were entering into women’s sports and destroying women’s spaces, feminists sent their daughters into boys spaces to ruin them. Boy Scouts has been dead for some time. This is just the final nail on the coffin.
Feminism and effeminate men ruin everything.
1. Abortion is murder. Sodomy is an abomination. Both should be illegal. Feminism is satanic. There are only two sexes. Transgenderism is psycho. Drag Queens are gross perverts and should not be anywhere near children. Porn is enslavement. Pluralism is idolatry.
If you thinking a father disciplining his child for not responding to him with joy is wicked, don't read the what God the Father does to his children who don't respond to him with joy.
There is not one reformed confession that is for paedocommunion- most are explicitly against it. The CREC says that they adhere to these various reformed confessions yet they don’t require ministers to declare exceptions to the confessions on the issue of communion. In fact,
I met a man today at Derby who was handing out pamphlets urging people to vote for neither Biden nor Trump. He was part of a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel group and had traveled all the way from California. He asked if we supported Congress funding Israel's war. We told him that

Dear Ladies,
There is no reason whatsoever for you to post pictures of yourself in low cut shirts, bikinis, bra and underwear, or anything similar—ever.
Not to show your weight loss journey.
Not to show your newborn baby.
Not to document your birth story.

If you define a nation as a purely creedal entity rather than a familial one, you very quickly end up with the nation being a competing institution to the Church.
That’s because the Church is creedal. It crosses ethnic, family, sex, and economic bounds. Citizenship in it is
I wonder if the elites in the SBC believing women are the victims of abortion and also believing that when they are involved in a multi decade affair they are abuse victims is related?
