"Do not put yourself at odds with the Word of God. For truly, it will persist as surely as the Rhine follows its course. One can perhaps dam it up for a while, but it is impossible to stop it.” - Zwingli

"Change in the Presbyterian Church in the United States came as a gradual thing, and its ascendancy in the denomination, over a long period of time. We confess that it should not have been permitted. Views and practices that undermine and supplant the system of doctrine or polity of a confessional Church ought never to be tolerated. A Church that will not exercise discipline will not long be able to maintain pure doctrine or godly practice." - Morton Smith, 1973

Our family calls it demonic idolatry - there is no future for a nation that promotes false worship
This week, our Hindu neighbors celebrate the Goddess Durga during the festival of Navaratri.  Our neighbors will dance Garba, venerate the Goddess Durga with Sindur Khela, receive Tika from elders, set up Golu in their homes, and so much more. Whether your family calls it Durga Puja, Dashain, Dussehra, or Navratri, may this festival mark a season of reflection and renewal.

The myth of “religious freedom” is unraveling - the state will promote true religion or it will be conquered by a false one

“Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”
The Heritage American debate isn’t just about severing your connection to the American past. The more sinister idea is that what you do today carries no inheritance forward. Serve your country. Build something. Sacrifice. Endure. Die for it. Then be told your descendants have no special claim to your story, no right to take pride in your sacrifice, no deeper connection because of what you gave. Once you convince a people that inheritance, lineage, and posterity mean nothing, you’ve weakened one of the oldest reasons men sacrifice for a future they’ll never live to see. That is fertile ground for any system that wants loyalty transferred from family and inheritance to the state.

"The PCA is currently facing a crisis over what has been termed Functional Female Officers, as women in some churches are being “commissioned” (rather than ordained) as “shepherdesses” or deaconesses, and some women are leading portions of the public worship service (such as leading prayer and publicly reading Scripture). Danvers does not forbid these practices."

“since Christianity appears to be necessary to the public good of the state, it ought to be encouraged by magistrates and rulers of every description. They are appointed to be the guardians of the public good; of course it is their duty to protect and promote every thing tending to it, and especially every thing necessary to it. Therefore as Christianity is necessary to the public good, they are bound to encourage, promote and inculcate that, by their example and profession, by speaking and acting in favor of it both in public and private” - Jonathan Edwards

WOW. A student at the Oxford Union tells Tommy Robinson he is lucky they've put security on for him otherwise their Pro-Islam supporters outside would beat him to death This is the Oxford Union, how far it has fallen as an institution when this is the sort of argument made

America is the result of Christians doing more than just preaching the gospel and planting churches. They did that yes. But they also applied the Bible to civil government. And that included laws to encourage Sunday worship & rest.
You don't need to spend a second trying to enforce Sabbath-keeping in America. No such mandate is found in the New Testament. Nor did the apostles try to impose OT law on the state. They preached the gospel and built churches. Put not your hope in law. Put it ALL in Christ!

we need to stop worrying about what young men believe about the post-war consensus and start helping them navigate the post-Christian culture

Is it fair to ask why it doesn't seem the ecclesiastical energy spent on CN has also been spent on feminism, egalitarianism, progressivism, and leftism? Maybe I'm insulated, but the net effect of the latter seems far more consequential to the life and fellowship of the church.

This seems problematic... Christian piety is best promoted and protected when the civil magistrate "promotes and protects" the free exercise of Baal worship? #PCAGA

Hus, Wycliffe, Luther, Wishart, Covenanters, Reformers, etc and ad nauseam, hit hardest
Independents, religio-political entrepreneurs, schismatics, outlaws, or fugitives from church justice may not be the best men to take advice from if you are a member of a confessional presbyterian denomination, imperfect though it be.

According to the Westminster Directory for the Publick Worship of God, The call to worship is to be done by the minister. The public reading of Scripture is to be done by the ministers, teachers, or ministerial candidates. Prayer before the sermon is to be done by the minister. Preaching is to be done by the minister. Prayer after the sermon is to be done by the minister. Administration of the sacraments done by the minister. Benediction done by the minister. We can argue about the place of Ruling Elders leading the elements, but it’s very clear that no lay persons (men, women, or children) were leading any of the elements. Additionally, when WLC 156 says “all are not permitted to read the word publicly to the congregation” the DPW provides the context needed to understand who the divines meant. Laypeople (excluding ministerial candidates) are not to read the word in public worship. #PCA
