“But whatever else you neglect, omit not to follow your children, when absent, with your daily prayers…But there is ONE, who is near to them, and who can influence them. O mothers! plead for your dear offspring at the throne of grace; travail in birth for them a second time.”
A brave man's blood is the best thing on this earth when a woman is in trouble. You're a man, and no mistake. Well, the devil may work against us for all he's worth, but God sends us men when we want them.

“In fact, pursuing beauty is simply another way of obeying the moral imperative to seek truth in everything, because beauty itself reveals objective truths about the world and the God who made it.” - Ben Dunson
In this article, Ben Dunson encourages Christians to set their minds on everything that is lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy because all such things are reflections of the God who made them.

Ben’s prayer for the 4th of July fireworks celebration in our neighborhood last night. This is a 40 year old neighborhood tradition with thousands of people showing up for the awesome block party and a fireworks show that rivals any big city. God bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
On the neighborhood signup genius, I signed Ben up (with his permission) to do the prayer for the fireworks show tomorrow night. I’m looking forward to a Biblical, Trinitarian prayer and then some awesome fireworks! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:
“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."
“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves…the fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on…this army.” George Washington to his troops on July 2, 1776

@RFBWCF@MrMRCline@GPTSeminary I’m going on a limb, but I suspect enforcing means someone has to be the bad guy. People get upset if you enforce the rules and think you’re a meanie. Holding the line has a personal and some times, professional, cost.
Great work from @GPTSeminary and @DunsonMartha’s husband! The #pcaga already has what it needs to deal with “deaconesses” and FFOs.

“The PCA has, in fact, now acted decisively to prohibit not simply the ordination of women to the deaconate (and eldership and pastorate), but also the use of female versions of officer titles in general.” https://t.co/rDFBH4dkY7
Psalm 106:1-3
Praise the LORD!
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD,
or declare all his praise?
Blessed are they who observe justice,
who do righteousness at all times!
“This is a time to build. Christians must build businesses, families, and institutions, but they must also return to the institutions they have abandoned. We will champion Christians who want to participate in and lead reform efforts to revive the many great institutions...”
