Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God and the exact imprint of His nature. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made; and all things were created from him and through him and all things exist for him

I was thinking a few days ago that the default approach of the church over the past 100 years has been avoiding pronouncements on moral issues in order to avoid “binding consciences”. So you get weak, ahistorical, and unclear approaches to e.g. contraception, IVF, politics,

Abortion is far, far worse than the Holocaust. It is far, far worse than American slavery. It is far, far worse than any mass killing, any war, any genocide, any disease, any one event.

Whenever I read the Reformed Orthodox talk about how the magistrate ought to be virtuous so as to inspire others to virtue, I always thought it was sad that I couldn’t think of a recent example where I can look at someone and have that happen for me. This completely changed that.

The reasons are:
1) the nature of the crime: murder, the unjust taking of human life, being the greatest crime one can commit against man.
2) the number of murders (50 million in US since 1973, most by any atrocity).
3) the circumstance of the murders (by their own mothers).

Voetius:
Marriage is a positive state taken on, while celibacy is a deprivation. Just as form is more perfect than matter (as stated in Aristotelian philosophy), marriage, being a positive state, is considered more perfect and noble than celibacy, which is a privation.
