Audio of Warhorn Media post, “Keller, worship, and truth, beauty, and goodness”
"We reject the effeminacy of Moore’s Petit & Keller’s ballet dancers, but this effeminacy isn’t the worst of it. Note the ease with which beauty insinuates itself into our religious worship…

“May God bless us and our children with godly women who love their life-giving nature in all its torments and blessings, who will give themselves to this femininity…”
Those doing “Biblical counseling” tell clients “preach to yourself.” Better “meditate on” or “remember.” Preaching is office of Holy Spirit authority. #goodshepherd

And, here’s the best reason that it’s not that I’ve heard yet.
John Quincy Adams’s son Charles himself had a son named Brooks. Both kept diaries and here are father and son’s entries for the same day:
Charles: “Went fishing with my son today—a day wasted.”
Brooks: “Went fishing with my father—the most wonderful day of my life.”

The Master said, “Women …are difficult to nurture. If you get too close to them, they become uncompliant, and if you stay too distant, they become resentful.” (Analects 17.25) (HT: Jacob)

Pastor, in Philippians Apostle Paul tells his former congregation he always thanks God in every remembrance of them. A real pastor loves his people. He can’t help it. Even when they hurt him. Pastor, give thanks for your flock, then tell them how thankful you are. #goodshepherd
Took years to recover from dope’s stupefaction. I praise God for rescuing me. So sad to see young men like S— wasted and wasting away. May God deliver them as He did me. How New York's legal weed is turning workers into stoned zombies
Can we love sinners? Can we see ourselves in sinners? Can we acknowledge, “There but for the grace of God go I?” This is the Gospel message: “I am the chief of sinners.” Not before we were born again, but after. Just before we die. Like the Apostle Paul. #Hecameforsinners
NASB95 footnote: Nehemiah 11:5 “Now as for the villages w/their fields, some of the sons of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba and its towns [fn] in Dibon and its towns [fn]…”
The footnote? “Literally: ‘daughters’, and so throughout the chapter.” Check it out: the word is בַּת.
“No sinner without a future, no saint without a past” (Oscar Wilde, attrib.)
“No,” I answered him. “I’m not going to begin my first worship service by assuring the congregation that I wasn’t drinking beer on the back stoop of the church…"
Pr. Tim - a study of cities in the OT shows that they are conceived as women, or feminine. Cities are feminine. Big Cities are Mothers. For example, our Mother in Heaven is not the Virgin, but Jerusalem. Babylon the Great is the Mother of Harlots.Smaller surrounding hamlets (the “Burbs?”) are daughters.
Here’s another area - the theology of cities - that arises out of a more fundamental theology of sexuality, in which a right understanding of the nature and purpose of women precedes and underpins a right understanding of cities.
Thank you, dear brother. Never knew that. Much love,
One reader on social media asks, under my post on the NASB95 footnote in Nehemiah 11:5: “Are you saying NASB95 got it wrong because they didn’t use ‘daughters’ instead of ‘towns’?”
What I said in that post is nothing other than pointing out the NASB95 changed “daughters” to “towns.” They tell us that in their footnote, and I’m interested in every last time our modern Bibles (even the best of them) remove sexual semantic meaning components.
But since you have asked, I’ll to on to say I think the Holy Spirit’s words here are Infinitely meaningful, and helpful. As Father Bill Mouser points out over on Sanityville: “a study of cities in the OT shows that they are conceived as women, or feminine. Cities are feminine. Big Cities are Mothers. For example, our Mother in Heaven is not the Virgin, but Jerusalem. Babylon the Great is the Mother of Harlots.Smaller surrounding hamlets (the “Burbs?”) are daughters. Here’s another area—the theology of cities—that arises out of a more fundamental theology of sexuality, in which a right understanding of the nature and purpose of women precedes and underpins a right understanding of cities.”
Father Bill is always so very helpful.
So now, for the nth time, why do we have to gag sexual semantic meaning components inspired by the Holy Spirit? We do so incessantly.
This scandal of this is so very basic to the plenary verbal inspiration of Scripture.
But hey, everyone’s doing it nowadays. Modern Bibles have one-quarter to one-third fewer uses of “father” and its cognates than earlier Bibles, as I show in my book on fatherhood, “Daddy Tried.” Nobody half-awake with even half a brain has any trouble understanding why scholars and their publishers are whole-hog into this today.
Article says she’s his “longterm girlfriend.”
Uh-uh. No way, José. You haven’t even married her. She owes you nothing, you scoundrel. Repent and move out. Then plan a wedding. Then give her children. Personal finance advice: My girlfriend is inheriting a bunch of money. I think some of it should be mine.
@Fr_Bill
Some countries refer to themselves as the “Motherland” (Russia, for one). Does what you have said about cities being “feminine” then apply in this way to countries as well?
