The PCA and Christian Education
Consider the following lengthy quotation in support of Christian education: — There is probably no more important duty than that of the education of our children. The future success of the Kingdom of our Lord is, to a great extent, dependent upon the successful education of covenant children in the knowledge of our Lord and…

November X Posts and Other Miscellanies – Apostasy, Christian Nationalism and Fascism, Free Markets and Globalism, Depression, Family Counsel, Culture War, Religious Freedom, Creation, Socialism, Israel, Proverbs, Etc.
A lot of pop culture is just a psy-op designed to turn kids into perverts. It’s been working pretty well for a few generations now. — Calvin on apostasy (ICR 3.24.8): “This expression of our Savior [in Matthew 22:14] is also very improperly interpreted. But there will be no ambiguity if we attend to what our former remarks…

Proverbs and the Culture War
Scripture gives plenty of commands, examples, and descriptions of godly people fighting what we today would call the “culture war.” Proverbs in particular is instructive. Five examples with selected commentary: [1] Proverbs 25:26: “A righteous man who falters before the wicked Is like a murky spring and a polluted well.” Those who surrender to the wicked allow them to…

Tucker and Trump: The Free Market, America First, and Other Odds and Ends
Years ago, Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson got into it over self-driving trucks. Shapiro defended the free market to do its thing. Carlson said he it would serve the common good to not allow self-driving trucks because it’s the most popular job for high school educated men and putting 10 million workers out of a…

Young Men Are Radicalized and It’s Our Fault
Following Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, etc. along with the groyper movement, anti-Semitism, and other alt-right views, are all ways young men are getting their revenge. This is not just about young men being immature, transgressive, and edgy. Radicalization like this happens for a reason. Young (white, especially) men have been shamed and scapegoated for a…

The Nagging Wife
The reason Proverbs warns about the nagging wife is not only because it is a form of disrespect, but because a woman cannot lead a man into leadership. When a wife nags a man about his responsibilities, she’s basically telling him to “man up,” but a man cannot be nagged into mature masculinity by a…

“Mothers, the godly training of your offspring is your first and most pressing duty.” — Charles Spurgeon — “We all want progress, but if you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive…”…

What Is a Christian Nation?
People sometimes ask, “What would a Christianized nation look like?” I’m glad you asked. Thankfully, God actually set up a nation one time and gave them a law. So we don’t really have to guess. We can just look at the nation God established and the law he gave them. We can study the Torah…

Christian Nationalism: Towards a Definition and Taxonomy
There are at least 4 different definitions of Christian nationalism floating around so I want to provide something of a taxonomy for the discussion: First, the progressive definition. Progressives treat “Christian nationalism” as synonymous with racism/white supremacy, fascism, Nazism, religious coercion, etc. Of course, this is how progressives have labeled all conservatives for a long…

Do Conservative Christians Care for the Poor?
Tim Keller and other politically left-leaning Christian leaders have perpetuated the progressive myth that right-leaning Christians do not care for the poor. Actually, studies show that evangelicals, particularly Southern evangelicals, are the most generous and philanthropic group in America. See here (https://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/almanac/statistics-on-u-s-generosity/) on giving by states based on percentage of AGI – other than Utah…
