“That the most Conservative Protestant denomination on earth had to fight four years to enforce what it already believed shows how far the revolution had already advanced inside the citadel.”

“When women take over a culture, men become weak. When men become weak, they can be conquered. They can be conquered. You’re watching that happen in this country. As more and more and more and more women ascend to power, more and more men become weaker and weaker and weaker, and the level of vulnerability just keeps escalating.” — John MacArthur
"I go to war against this woke tyranny because there is a God who created the world & He has spoken. Fallen man does not get to disagree with the God whom has spoken. Flee from sin & find salvation in Christ."

Rest in Christ, brother. 🙏
VP VANCE: "I always felt a little uncomfortable talking about talking about my faith in public... I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I have my entire time in public life."
If you watch anything from today's Charlie Kirk memorial service, let it be these words from @MrsErikaKirk.
This is the Gospel in real life. Just... wow.
94-year-old Iain Murray’s charge to CHBC’s pastoral interns (via phone) at our last discussion for the semester where we discussed his book, “Evangelicalism Divided”:
“When we are ministers, the fact that we're ministers of the gospel is not the main thing. It's secondary—quite secondary—to being a Christian. And the fact that we grow ourselves as Christians is really the number one point. And you good young men, whom God is bringing forward, the devil will use all kinds of things to distract you—and to distract all of us—from what are the main things. So put first your own communion with Christ… It's the best work in the world that God is calling you to. It will be painful at times, and there'll be disappointments, and some people will let you down. But let us be faithful.”

How do Christian parents succeed in passing on their religious convictions to their children?
A 35-year longitudinal study asked that question. And it found two things that were surprising.
One, fathers matter more than mothers. If the father is committed to his faith, the children are more likely to follow him. In short, fathers wield influence, whether they want to or not.
Of course, mothers also have influence, but not as much. My female students say that’s not fair. And I say, I’m sorry, it’s a fact.
The second finding was that, to have that influence, the father has to have a warm, loving relationship with the child.
It doesn't matter if he was a leader in the community, a pillar of the church, a moral exemplar. If he is perceived as cold and distant, his children will not follow him.

Insurance exists to cover events that are random, infrequent, catastrophic, & outside the control of the individual. That’s Econ 101. But here’s the rub: only 30% of medical events meet these criteria, yet >70% of healthcare costs are borne by insurance. A hard question about rising U.S. health costs is whether we’re using the wrong instrument to pay for much of it.
As a man you’ve got to realize your disposability when you are still productive. Woe unto you when you realize that when you have stopped being productive.
Charles Bridges’ section in the Christian Ministry on pastors’ need for (and the consequences when they lack) faith might be the best 10 pages I’ve ever read on pastoral ministry. A sample…
