Interesting that
@DustyDeevers
is getting tons of coverage in pagan media while major Christian outlets are silent. Just did searches at both TGC and Christianity Today (through Google) and came up with nothing. Why would Christians not even want to mention his name?
For some reason, we’re supposed to believe that David French is moral and ethical but just has lots of bad opinions. Yet he can never seem to be bothered to fairly state the position of his opponents. It’s a constant stream of distortions. People who have character don’t do this.
demand from us, in a peculiar manner, the warmest returns of gratitude and piety to the Supreme Author of all Good!” - George Washington, issued at Headquarters, Valley Forge, May 2, 1778
As many of you have become aware, last week a display was erected at the Iowa Capitol by the Satanic Temple of Iowa. As I have responded to concerns from Iowans about the display, I wanted to share with you how the display came to be and my response.
How did it happen?

To the distinguished character of a Patriot it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of a Christian.

Lol, these guys are such clowns. You might say Dispatch level clowns. Yes, Stetzer tells Collins around 32-33 min of the podcast: "So what can church leaders do to guide their congregations towards accurate information and steer them away from misinformation. You know, we

Happy to announce that I am leaving The American Mind and American Reformer for the newly established Russell Moore Center for Advanced Moral Ethics.
I’m very humbled and excited for this Gospel opportunity to serve the most brilliant and courageous living public theologian.
My parents divorced when I was only a few months old. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Still living with the consequences—even after my mom’s death and having my own family.
The number of “conservatives” who want to go along with the selfish lie that divorce is relatively harmless to children - “if I’m happy they’re happy” - is wild to me. The single most destructive outcome of the sexual revolution was easy divorce, and it’s not even close.
The most important modern book on the subject of antinomianism. (Sinclair Ferguson’s “The Whole Christ” is up there too.) As Jones shows, while good works are not the meritorious ground of justification, they are the means through which the believer possess eternal life.

You do not have enough hate in you that is nearly adequate for what the media deserves.

Meet the Christian nationalist lawmaker who wants Oklahoma to “obey God” and the government to “terrorize evildoers.”

"Volume upon volume could be written and still not contain every horror promoted by the modern Democratic Party. Quite simply, there is no moral equivalency between what Biden and Trump represent."
In my latest for
@theammind
, I wade into the ongoing fight over Christian nationalism. How do its proponents understand it? What are their arguments? And what should they keep in mind if they want to have success?
“The proposition that the United States of America are a Christian and Protestant nation, is not so much the assertion of a principle as the statement of a fact. That fact is not simply that the great majority of the people are Christians and Protestants,
"We may infer that those persons are superstitious, who do not venture to borrow anything from heathen authors. All truth is from God; and consequently, if wicked men have said anything that is true and just, we ought not to reject it; for it has come from God." - John Calvin
Reupping this recent TAM piece:
“French and Miller are unwitting but zealous foot soldiers for the coming full-scale implementation of cultural sexual degeneracy. They are…[working] to create a populace indifferent to advancing evil.”
"The Reformed had no objection to calling good works necessary to salvation ... as the means and ways to obtain eternal salvation ... not a meritorious but a preparatory and dispositional cause." - Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, Vol. 4
Finally finished this one. Fascinating and disheartening at the same time. How far we’ve fallen from the liturgy of the BCP to three songs and a bland sermon.
Not liking Doug Wilson doesn’t give you the right to absolutely dump all over him. Been seeing this from a certain group for some time now. Critiques are fine. But just casually tossing out unhinged rants, thinking it’s ok because Moscow Man Bad, is another thing entirely.
Voting for Trump doesn't mean you worship him. It doesn't make him your idol. Please try to understand why people like him before making ideological, sweeping generalizations. I beg of you.
It’s my 7th wedding anniversary today.
