1. If you neglect child sacrifice you are a wicked ruler.

2. Wicked rulers can do civically good things.

3. Christians should not endorse wicked rulers.

This should not be difficult.

I had a great time at the New Christendom Press conference. I met many godly Christians. It’s unfortunate a third-party vendor, known for books positive toward Nazi ideology, was permitted to sell books and promote resources out of step with our Christian beliefs. This is being used to smear the good people at the conference. Hopefully this will be addressed by those responsible. I have no interest in Nazism or associating with it. I believe that also describes those I met. Lots of families and young men zealous for Christ.

Every ounce of our desire for hero worship is fulfilled in worshipping the Hero, Jesus Christ.

Today has been one year since abolitionists descended on our nation’s Capitol to demand that the slaughter of innocent image bearers be immediately abolished.

Our demands have not changed.

You cannot regulate child sacrifice and escape the judgment of a holy God.

Abortion must be abolished.

It's honestly insane to say this doesn't help Stephen.

Sure, none of his leftist critics will change their tune and this will lose him fans on the right, but I don't think Stephen cares. I think Stephen is first and foremost trying to do what is right, not cater to any specific group.

But this will still benefit him. There is a large part of the broader CN movement that will very much appreciate his integrity here. I am one of them.

I’ve known Michael for many years. I don’t recall when we first met in person, but we became friends over three years ago. For much of that time, he lived near me. We’ve been to each other's houses. Our families have had dinner together, and our kids have played together. On a few occasions, he volunteered to help me with projects on the property: building a deck, moving felled trees, and other things. His wife is kind. He has good kids. Michael was repeatedly kind to me. I’ve spent more time with him than 99% of his critics, though I haven’t seen him much in the last year or so.

I once said that Michael is a “friend” and “a good man”—-something used against me for nearly a year now. No critic has asked what I meant by it, and my default response is to ignore such people. I was referring to his kindness and generosity to me, and to his concern for my spiritual well-being, which surpassed that of many people in my life.

Mindful of this history, and out of loyalty to a friend, I did not denounce or openly distance myself from Michael as he began to embrace positions that I reject. This came at great personal cost, not only for me but especially for my family. Online agitators and tale-bearers, most of whom are incapable of argument, insinuated that Michael and I are “fellow Nazis,” despite my numerous articles, videos, and books contradicting that claim. I do not expect any session or presbytery to correct these sinful accusations (WLC 144), despite several coming from those vowed to maintain the “peace of the church.”

Michael knows the cost of being associated with him. He knows that anything he says places burdens upon others. I chose to endure them. An elderly man at my previous church—known and well respected in both the OPC and the PCA—encouraged me to remain friends with Michael for his sake, and I did.

But the post below is a turning point for me. It represents a complete disregard for those who bear the costs of any degree of association. When consideration of others goes repeatedly unreciprocated, there comes a breaking point. It begins to look like exploitation. Obviously, “Christian prince” is a term I retrieved from the Protestant tradition, and it immediately recalls my work. Michael had to know that I, yet again, would be dragged into accusations of Naziism, even from those of decent will. He chose words (when there are alternatives) that instantly recall “Stephen Wolfe.” It is an act of betrayal. He has not considered how his actions affect others. He could have easily added, “I know that Stephen Wolfe does not agree with me.” But he did not.

As I’ve said for years now, I have no interest in retrieving Naziism, nor do I want a “Protestant Hitler.” Michael knows this, as I’ve said to him (among others) that revising 1930s German history is unnecessary to critique the “post-war consensus”. I am right-wing, but I am an American. By today’s standards, American history is right-wing, and it contains all the resources for recovering a manly, moral liberty and a Christian society. Anglo-Protestantism, despite its faults, is still the core tradition of America. Our fight is to recover it.

I have a high tolerance for differing opinions. I do not shy away from references to Marx, Nietzsche, Hegel, Heidegger, or “critical theory.” Viewing everything with the good/evil binary, or relying on a set of scary words to categorize intellectual history and various individuals, is unserious. I even use Marx in my MA philosophy thesis. But I would not say that we need a “Protestant Marx” or a “Protestant Heidegger”. We need a George Washington.

Given Michael’s behavior—his disregard for my position and the effects of his actions—I can no longer consider him a friend. But I will not take on a mission to destroy him. I will not toss epithets at him or make quips for spectacle. I simply cannot continue in what I consider an exploitive relationship. I pray that Michael and his lovely family would live well in godliness.

"white" continues to be a stupid and unhelpful category

[Jon Harris 🌲 @jonharris1989]

Some if you want to defend white people. But then I find out you’re not from the blue area and it just gets awkward. 😃

Two years later and the antinomians are still attacking Washer.

And by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
— 1 John 2:3-6

[Jacob Lucken @JacobLucken]

The antinomians are really outing themselves with this one.

Matthew 7:23 ESV
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

[Robb Brunansky @RobbBrunansky]

I have never once felt discouraged after listening to Paul Washer preach. Quite the contrary, I always feel as if nothing could be more delightful or beneficial for my soul (and the souls of others) than to grow ever closer to Christ.

[Jacob Lucken @JacobLucken]

How do you know you're trusting in Christ? Is it a simple thought you have? Or is it a trust that drives you to rely on Christ and His Word to give you strength? Relying on communion with Him to give you comfort?

Examine to see if you're trusting in Christ by examining the fruits of true trust.

[Jacob Lucken @JacobLucken]

@BradyJBush @TexasPreacher "peacefully practice" is an wild way to describe openly blaspheming and making war against the God of the universe. Not to mention the fact that Islam is physically one of the least peaceful religions.

Christianity is the only Abrahamic religion.

[T. Russell Hunter🌳🪓 @TRussHunter]

Go back and watch the Abolitionists Rising videos that were posted directly arguing against you and your promotion of Trump. Not only did we say everything that you are now seeing would come to pass, but we also said that you would make this video whenever you came to see it and that you wouldn’t have the humility to admit what went down and that you were a problem.

What's a better reason for revolution? Taxation without representation or leaders that are part of a child sacrificing, pedophile, demon possessed cult.

[Jacob Lucken @JacobLucken]

It pleased God to crush the perfect, sinless Lamb. But surely He would never ordain sinful people to suffer—He only "allows" that to happen.

The second half of Romans 1 is about men who suppress the truth and refuse to acknowledge God as Creator and Lord of creation. These men, while claiming to be wise, become fools and are handed over to their sin. Thankfully, the perfect Son of God died for their sins so that they may be at peace with God if only they put their faith in Him. Praise God for providing a propitiation for our sins!

[Jacob Lucken @JacobLucken]

For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Evolution had billions of years to perfect this.

Scientists have had ~200 years to get to where we are today with technology.

If we assume humans are still around in 13 billion years, and we keep existing knowledge and advancement, our tech will blow this out of the water.

Evolution is incredible on it's own, but it's the time scales that make it work.

I've got some bad news—the red, white, and blue *has* been fading.
