Hot take that should not be a hot take: Christian men and woman NEED EACH OTHER. Not just as husbands and wives, either. Paul ask us to treat elders like fathers and mothers, and peers like brothers and sisters, because he knew the world was against the church. My father has gone to Heaven, yet I still need earthy assistance, and calling upon spiritual fathers helps me. So many older women had advised me. Younger women have supported me. Younger men have encouraged me. I needed them ALL as a spiritual family because without their prayers and guidance, I would be lost. You cannot deride your mothers and sisters in Christ by telling them to bake a pie. You can’t humiliate brothers and fathers in Christ with feminism. We all need to be respectful, even in disagreement. If someone is making you feel comfortable by being mean, ask yourself why. Learn from the errors of Patriarchy Hannah; those who feed your flesh are NOT your friends. The world hates us because we love Christ. Ask yourself how you can love Jesus yet mock an entire gender.

⚠️ another lecture for the gals. 2 Timothy 3:2-5 describes certain men that are to be kept away from. They are "lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, without gentleness, without love for good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Keep away from such men as these." Verse 6 continues with a special warning to us women. "For among them are those who enter into households and take captive weak women weighed down with sins, being led on by various desires, always learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth." What makes us as women especially susceptible to false teachers matching the description above? How can we be so easily taken captive by their teachings? There are several reasons listed in that verse. We are more prone to deception when 1. we are weak 2. we are weighed down with sin 3. we are led by desires 4. we are learning continually but never arriving at truth Today more than ever, false teachers have access to our hearts and minds. We carry them around in our back pockets 24/7. It may seem obvious that you would never listen to someone that fit the description from verses 2-5. But remember one of their traits is treachery, meaning they can be a true hidden danger. They may appear to be something else entirely and their teachings will often appeal to the very weakest part of you. For example, if you are weighed down with unconfessed sin you will be especially susceptible to 2 opposite kinds of false teachers: the liberal and the legalist. The liberal will disregard God's law and redefine, negate or excuse your sin. The legalist will distort God's law and offer your outward displays of false piety with which to cover your sin. If you are prone to being led by desires you will be prone to follow false teachers who make the same kinds of promises that led Eve into rebellion. They may seem harmless, even good. In Genesis 3 we read that the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, so she took from its fruit and ate. None of those desires are sinful in and of themselves but they controlled her to the extent that they blinded her to God's clear prohibitions and led her into rebellion. Many women make great students. They love acquiring knowledge and having all the answers. They can spend years in Bible studies completing book after book, always prepared, meticulously marking up each passage, taking copious notes from every sermon and lecture. But without discernment and the indwelling Holy Spirit to illuminate them, they will never arrive at a full knowledge of the truth. They will be especially susceptible to false teachers with fine sounding, intellectual arguments. Ladies, especially those here on X and other social media platforms. Guard your heart. Unconfessed sin will weaken and weigh you down and make you vulnerable to false teaching. Guard your mind. Not everything packaged as Christian is of Christ. Pray desperately both for forgiveness of sins and discernment of truth.

I hear God every day. He is ever speaking to me through His Word, and not just when I am reading it. His Spirit is forever bringing the Truth to my remembrance. He cautions me, encourages me, convicts me. It is all, indeed, supernatural.

Why can't we be justified by our faithful good works on judgment day? Why isn't there a second or final justification? First, there is no room for our good works in the legal ground of justification. Christ's perfect righteousness so completely satisfies the justice of God that there is no room for our faithful obedience to satisfy it. Second, there is no place for our faithful good works as a means of justification together with faith. Faith alone justifies because its object and content alone justifies. In other words, faith alone justifies because Christ's righteousness alone justifies. Faithful good works do not rest in another's righteousness, like faith does. Therefore, faithful good works cannot justly be a means of justification before God. Third, the Scriptural teaching about the role of good works on judgment day is that they justify our justification before men and angels, but not before God. God needs no proof or evidence that we are justly justified, but it pleases God to vindicate His justice publicly on judgment day by making a display of our faithful good works before others as evidence of our righteous standing before Him.

The main ways in which I've argued against versions of Christian Nationalism is to insist that we protect justification by faith alone (because some versions of CN, reconstructionism, say we build Christ's redemptive kingdom by our works), that we not lose orthodox ecclesiology (because some versions of CN encourage pagan worship attendance and insist that the government should rule over the doctrine and worship of the church), and I've argued that we should resist any notion that America is in any sense God's special chosen nation. I have never, however, argued against cultural Christianity because I am in favor of it. I strongly favor a nation highly influenced by a Christian legal tradition and Christian cultural norms. I think we get this mainly when large numbers of people in America become actual Christians. But also by the political conservation of the Christian basis of our American legal tradition and by national leaders speaking boldly of Christ and protecting the church in her duty to observe the first table of the law.

The entire ambit of Reformed Theology can be summed up in Doctrine, Duty and Delight. That is, 1. Orthodoxy (Right Doctrine); 2. Orthopraxy (Right Duty), and 3. Orthopathy (Right Passions) In other words, Delightful Duty that flows from the comprehension of right Doctrine.
