Stayed up to the sweet end last night. Couldn’t believe my eyes. God answered our prayers. Now we must pray for our incoming PresTrump and VPVance; that they will be humble and love God’s Truth and Law, and that God will give them Gospel faith in Jesus.
God be praised!
Jonathan Edward’s dad helped start Yale (1701) and sent his son there, instead of Harvard, b/c Harvard had turned to false doctrine. Across the past three centuries, Harvard’s only grown more evil. Pay no homage to this filthy old lady drowning in her wealth and wickedness. Tear down her high place.
Post election, corporate media trying to get American women to join S.Korea’s 4B movement: no dating, no marriage, no relationships with men, and no childbirth. Media hopes women who voted for VPHarris will join.
Sounds good to me
UC Berkeley is in House District 14. Since Tuesday they’ve been counting their ballots and as of Saturday morning, they’re up to 44% counted.

It’s easy to laugh at this, but modern politics’ penchant for dividing the sexes has been extremely corrosive to many societies around the world, and it appears ours may now be on the brink. South Korea’s total fertility rate has reached truly dystopic levels, and ours are trending that direction.
If we can’t find a path to help young people pair up, marry, and have children, then the future is going to be quite grim. The church is doing a lot better at this than the world, but I don’t know that in general we have our heads around the problem yet, never mind the solutions.
No end in sight for Germany’s political meltdown. Saying he refuses to cut social services in order to fund NATO and Germany’s military, Scholz will be gone.
One good thing abt our 2-party system is our guarantee when election is over we’ll have a clear winner. Germany engulfed by political crisis as Scholz coalition falls apart
Not laughing. Serious. I know some of these women well and don’t want them to become mothers. Sad for them, but hand that rocks the cradle…
Concerning solutions, preaching is the one that’s certain to produce the precise fruit needed. Give out copies of our The Helpful Marriage Book. It’s no substitute for true preaching, but an excellent antidote to the vast majority of bad preaching prevailing across the Reformed churches today. One whole chapter on fruitfulness and one whole chapter on the husband’s authority. Love,

It would pay the pastors here to check that this attitude isn’t there in their churches as well. Years as a single man did leave me wondering some times …
What’s interesting in my former church was that, as we taught God’s order of sexuality, it’s my observation that, as the years went by, our proportion of men to women college students went from about equal male and female to male predominant. It would be impossible to be the sort of woman you are asking whether or not we have in our congregations in my former congregation. She might last for some time, but eventually she’d leave, and if she were married and had a submissive husband (almost certainly), she’d take them out with her. Love,
James 1:27 “Pure and undefiled religion…” Root of “religion” is θροέω—to be fearful/tremble/cry out. Thus religious worship is to quiet our fear of God by giving Him glory/obedience He commands. Religion that does not acknowledge and build on proper fear of God is not religion.
When certain Christians explain they are “not religious,” they speak truth. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of religion.
When our consciences assault us, we must not turn away frm God, cringing. We have sinned, yes; & the true God forgives sins. It’s counterintuitive to run to the One you fear, but this is how to approach our Heavenly Father. Run to Him Whom you fear. His mercy flows through Jesus.

Pastors and gentle parenting enthusiasts should read this short piece on defensive communication. Think about the implications for pastoral care and fatherhood/motherhood.
We can’t simply present ourselves as if we’re merely fellow travelers, nor should we avoid declarative and dogmatic statements. Yet there are very helpful things here, too. Especially good is the theme and descriptions of the dangers of verbal manipulation.
Pastors and parents alike, note that straighforward statements are more trustworthy than hedge words and indirect statements and suave and sneaky attempts at control. Truthfully, I find this paper an encouragement toward preaching that is manly and straightforward and fatherhood that is manly and straightforward, and utilizes corporal punishment.
Verbal manipulation is so hostile and aggressive, and puts everyone so much on the defensive—children included.

Pastors/elders are more likely to cover up men’s sexual abuse of boys and young men than girls and young women. The exact same abuse the Archbishop covered up has been covered up w/in American reformed denominations. Never cover it up. Church of England leader who married Harry and Meghan resigns over pedophile scandal
Is this because the reporting of men’s sexual abuse of boys and young men is seen as hostile to the wider gay agenda, therefore it will be concealed at all costs? In any event, the common thread is that this is what happens when organisations decide that the preservation of the organisation’s “good name” is more important than seeing justice done.
That may be part of it, but it’s my thinking the main reason is a natural inability to see the male as a victim flowing from our inate and unsuppressable knowledge of the Creation Order. Even GRACE has played down the abuse of young men and boys by sodomite pedophiles, as have any number of Christian agencies/churches/organizations. They just never want to acknowledge sodomitic abuse, and they seem habitually to minimize it’s horrors among its victims. “Toughen up and get over it!”
On the other hand, the refusal to publicize the essential sexualization of young boys always and evermore at the heart of sodomy is one of the most despicable things about the homosexualist rainbow campaign and the media and Christian response to it. Love,
