It would be fair to ask what positive project I would propose in the place of Christian Nationalism? How should we address the moral and doctrinal degradation of Western nations and culture?
Two things: First, a revival of Biblical preaching. The pulpit leads the world.
Second, that revival of Biblical preaching will inevitably produce the revival of Christian confession.
By this I don’t mean merely the affirmation of this or that reformed doctrinal confession, although that would be excellent. Rather I mean every last Christian repenting of our shame at Jesus and His Words shown by our self-censorship at every gap in the wall of God’s Truth. We censor ourselves. We censor our families. We censor our churches and pulpits.
This refusal to confess our Christian faith positively, and therefore in great vulnerability—for the love of Christ—is what has ruined our homelands and culture.
Until we begin to take joy in this greatest of privileges of confessing Christian faith precisely where it is most severely attacked, and thank God for the persecution it will bring to us, the church’s witness will remain impotent in making disciples of all nations.
Yes, a thousand times. What motivates me to swim against the current is the various strands of this CN movement looking more and more like soul-damning nominalism. We ought to be careful to oppose indifferentism and escapism in the church, but the call to action need not resemble Wolfe & Co.'s latent nominalism.
I’m so grateful God directed our President’s heart in so many merciful/compassionate/peacemaking directions. Disciplining higher ed. Shutting down transgenderism. Getting the EU to pay for their defense. Blowing up the DEI juggernaut…
And now shutting down our taxes used to fund Planned Parenthood’s genocide!
Well done, sir. Well done all countrymen who, from love of fatherland, voted for him.
Sarah Dionne joined Tim and Mary Lee Bayly to discuss: How should parents relate to their adult children who are leaving the home?
With time, the authority of father and mother shifts from command to wise counsel. But the obligation to be a mother and father does not end when children are over 18. They still need counsel; they should not be cut off—launched and forgotten.
How do you keep your children’s hearts soft toward you as they grow into adulthood?
Over the years I’ve fought beside a number of famous Christian leaders opposing the false doctrine of schismatics working to divide the church. Abortion. Euthanasia. Feminism. LGBTQism. Women combatants. R2K. Neutered Bibles…
Battles reveal a man and, over the years, there’s only a handful of men I would trust to enter a battle as comrades a second time.
There are precious few Christian leaders among those thought to be such by Christians today who have the gift of any manly leadership of men.
We Christians are very weak and fearful, and those proposing that we get Christian leaders into positions of civil authority passing laws codifying God’s Moral Law are delusional, in my humble opinion.
They would certainly do a much worse job than President Trump who cut his teeth on New York real estate and development, among union men and builders and steamfitters and others who must be led by a man they respect and fear—not men who know how to keep their sheep complacent while building their influencer status among fanboys on the socials who urge them on with, “Yeah! Yeah!”
Mike Pence is a godly Christian man every bit as principled as the famous Christian leaders I’ve fought beside, and yet?
And yet we all of us everyone would choose President Trump to lead our nation, and having chosen him, have watched him doing something pretty close to reformation in opposing significant immoral actors and stopping many evils across our nation.
Here’s to the Christendom patriotism and love of fatherland of that sinful leader, President Donald J. Trump—the man I like to refer to as “Samson.” @realdonaldtrump
Across our land, the pulpits of Christ’s Church this present day are mired in the low tide mud of verbiage and rhetoric that is soft and caressing. Quite naturally it is political rhetoric and the electorate Christians hype and trust to restore “Christendom.”
Those who prefer memes won’t have the patience, but those who still read, this by brother Jacob Gonzales is just excellent. Here’s a preview:
Do not be deceived, brothers, by those who seek to overturn laws and magistrates. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors; or unto senators and representatives.28 This is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. We should pray for our senators and rulers so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.29 The hearts of our rulers are in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth them for good or for evil.30 Do not think you can bear the mantle of the magistrate better than those who are weighed down by it now. For with your present wickedness, you may take with yourselves seven other spirits more wicked than theirs and the last state will be worse than the first.31 Absalom, too, stood up and proclaimed himself a judge in the land and claimed he would do justice.32 He conspired against his father, overthrew government, and in the end he was pierced through with spears. Magistrates bear a weight which tires the spirits of even the greatest of men. Was this not what happened to the lawgiver in the wilderness? Did not the priest of Midian, his father-in-law, warn him, saying that he and the people would wear away if he continued to bear the magisterial mantel alone?33 Why should you desire that which you cannot bear? Have you discovered some new reason why, this time, power should not corrupt as it has done before?34 Do not desire for your names to be recorded in the annals of history but rather that they be recorded in the book of life. Perhaps you, or others, have truly been called to lead us in civil reform. If this is so, I pray for your prosperity and success in it. What would it avail me to work against the authority of any power ordained with the mandate of heaven? Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.35 Uplift the gospel and the law, remember the widow and the orphan, oppress not the foreigner in your midst, and forget not the poor. If you do these things the nation will be blessed.
The connoisseurs of deep Christian intellect are pearl-clutching over their great hero, Bishop N. T. Wright, coming out in support of baby-slaughter.
Of course only in this and that situation like “mental health” of the mother or when the baby is “deformed.” Bishop Wright goes on to say everyone must be “very, very careful” with this “hot potato, particularly in America.”
Still, in these cases a “very, very strong argument can be made” for murdering the baby.
When connoisseurs of what they judge to be deep Christian intellect settle on a hero, you know he’s bad. And now this from one of our reformed chattering class’s greatest heroes.
Don’t learn he’s wrong about baby-slaughter. That’s the wrong lesson.
Rather, swear off sharing heroes with the church’s purported intellectuals. Inventing new methods of trimming God’s truth is no proof of intellect.
I have been thanking God for the reforms He has used President Trump to accomplish across our land. Realize President Trump’s many wins make him dangerous. The strongman is capable of great good and great evil.
Pride goeth before the Fall—Adam’s and ours.
Original sin never stops its work of corruption. In and through Democrats, and also Republicans. Christians.
Pray for President Trump’s soul. Pray for our nation to humble herself under God’s mighty hand.
This shall be the Christian’s celebration of Fourth of July.
Back in 1985 shortly before Dad died, I asked him why we would celebrate fighting to end taxation without representation on the Fourth of July, but not follow through by fighting to end the slaughter of 1-2 million of our nation’s babies each year? Why does “when in the course of human events” apply to liberation from the tea taxes, but not liberation of the little ones from their civil authorities defending their slaughter?
For decades, scorn for piety has been constant among reformed crusaders of all stripes. Their crusades change, but the accusation against those who don’t join them is always “pietist.”
