"Christian withdrawal from university and public square was not explicit. It wasn’t pointed out or celebrated or mourned. It simply occurred as optimism about fallen man from the greek revival proceeded unchallenged in the western universities." callofthechurch.wordpress.com/2021/10/11/ano…
Men should be ruled first by the word of God in all things. Apart from it man’s imagination will stray—first to rationalize his sin, then to promote and protect it. All this he will do under cover of what is natural and reasonable. That is the history of the last 300 years.
Are the following points true? Islam is the West's greatest historical enemy. Islam is now within the West, courtesy of Western politicians. Western governments use native tax-payers to fund Islamic growth in the West. Western government shut down native resistance via "hate…
Singing the Psalms is dangerous. If left unchecked, you start to believe God will rise and scatter His enemies, uproot the wicked, and bless and prosper the righteous.
If unbelievers agree to your ethical standard you’re doing it wrong.
Be a Jeremiah, not a Zedekiah. Don’t let fighting against evil make you blind to the reality of God’s judgment falling on our civilization. Just as we inherit the good legacy of our fathers we must own their mistakes. Christian men ruled the west in centuries past. Christendom…
Perhaps until apostate western nations cry out in repentance… Or the church of Jesus acknowledges her responsibility for those nations… Or both. To whom much is given…
Sufficiency is not the issue here. The sufficiency debate arose to contrast the Protestant with the Catholic position. Here the issue is “primacy of authority”. Yes, scripture has primacy of authority for blacksmithing, theology and all of life.
T or F: Scripture is just as sufficient for blacksmithing as it is for theology.

How long, oh Lord, will your justice sleep.
“Rational moral philosophy” sank the Puritans. It grew out of the late medieval view that man’s reason should govern the public square. And it’s been a total disaster since 1700. God word is like fire and a hammer that breaks the rock. Not man’s reason. God’s word. (Jer 23:29)
In early 1700s New England, the embrace of rational moral philosophy and rejection of Calvinism were one and the same movement. Man cannot serve two masters—revelation in religion proper and man’s reason in morals. That false divide arose in Aquinas and echoes down to modernity.…
The scope and extent of the New Covenant is expounded in the OT not the NT. The NT fleshes out its details but does not repeat its grand scope laid out in the OT b/c that was not needed. Being a “New Testament Christian” is like having one leg.
Distaste for any part of the Bible is distaste for God Himself. That includes slaughter of the Canaanites and Babylonian infants being dashed against the rocks (Ps 137:9). Take God’s word before Him in prayer until you are changed by it. God defines right and wrong, not you.
All illegal aliens should be removed from our country. All of them. It’s very simple. They’re here illegally.
The Arminian God is therefore a God with no historical purpose. He simply stands by helplessly and hopes that by some power other than himself his wishes may come to pass. In such a world, it is entirely possible that not even one person would ever be saved by Christ’s blood.
If God is not completely sovereign over all that comes to pass, then He can have no fixed purpose.

I read Jeremiah 23 this morning. It’s a chapter about how society ends up in under judgment when it follows man’s reason instead of God‘s word. Many such chapters. Of course, if you assume up front that God‘s word has no authority over unbelievers, then man’s reason is the only…

Neither man nor his life can be divided between the rational and the spiritual. For the root of the rational is always the spiritual. The mind always justifies with the heart has chosen.
