@plampts87 @tomascol Or: get married and don’t reverse roles. This isn’t that complicated.

[Conley Owens 🦡 @SiliconConley]

@MohamedAsi45086 There is a biblical mission (Titus 2:3–5), and therefore, there is a biblical mission drift. It is very foolish to encourage that drift when most have already been carried away by the riptide.

Some of you aren’t ready for this, but teaching-centric parachurch orgs should not receive a dime of anyone’s money. (William of Saint Amour and John Wycliffe addressed this extensively in the Secular-Mendicant Controversy.)

The *church* is the pillar and buttress of the truth.

Singleness can be a gift that the Lord uses for your good and His glory.

Watch as Rebecca VanDoodewaard encourages single women to be fruitful with the time God has given them.

@MohamedAsi45086 Apparently they already have someone providing for them if they have the option. But otherwise, they can take the minimal approach. Basic job...not a huge investment in college and career.

[Conley Owens 🦡 @SiliconConley]

@MohamedAsi45086 If she’s addressing women who have the option of not pursuing career (and she is), then they don’t have to provide for themselves.

@ASFleischman Would you speak the same way about requiring parents to care for the children born to them?

@McJuggerNuggets Stop asking people to sympathize with murder. Repent.

[Conley Owens 🦡 @SiliconConley]

@MohamedAsi45086 They should respond by continuing.

Women pursue marriage by making themselves available. (Consider Rahan putting herself in Boaz’s field.)

I fact checked this and determined it to be false: https://t.co/YyKKXTLV4S

Uno reverse: Saying marriage can be an idol, can be an idol.

[Conley Owens 🦡 @SiliconConley]

@ParticularBapt @Tysingerlaw In saying that pursuing career is a good way to keep marriage from being an idol is clearly to suggest that wholeheartedly pursuing it with earnest desire makes it an idol.

Yes, I get that she’s speaking vaguely enough that there’s plausible deniability.

[Conley Owens 🦡 @SiliconConley]

@MohamedAsi45086 See my link. The claim I’m responding to is that wholeheartedly pursuing marriage makes it an idol.

@MohamedAsi45086 Did you watch the video?

[Conley Owens 🦡 @SiliconConley]

@Tysingerlaw Well, disappointed that my YouTube URL didn’t show a preview, but if you click on it, you'll see it's me teaching on the myth that pursuing marriage makes it an idol. (I’m not saying difficult providences can’t be used for our good.)

@Ligonier Ligonier, wake up. Do you know what time it is?

@LizzieMarbach For anyone who wants a proof text:
Galatians 5:4—You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.

@SovMichael All technological progress comes with disruption. It’s not a bad thing.

[Conley Owens 🦡 @SiliconConley]

@BradWilcoxIFS @lymanstoneky Either .25 or .5…what’s the difference for characterizing the change? Both are *massive* across a *mere* two decades. It’s weird to talk about patterns of “the past” and just be referring to earlier this century.
