Good stuff!

JOE RIGNEY: Men without chests leads to nations without borders.

When Lewis talked about the chest, he meant our trained emotions that governed our baser appetites in submission to reason and to the living God. That's what the chest was. It's our emotions governing our appetites in submission to reason and to God, and that's what enables a patriotism and even a nationalism that's capable of defending itself in the face of both globalism and tribalism.

Because without the chest, globalist greed, leftist ideology, and ethnic strife will result in a balkanized America that will be ruled through anarcho-tyranny by a managerial bureaucracy.

So the problem for us is that the weakness of our political will is the result of a weakness of spiritual will.

@ReallyOldLife Bunch of good Lutherans!

Believe the bible.

Take it for what it says.

[Bill Stupfell @bstupfell]

That is what I have seen. Teaching us parts on psalm sing evenings.

[nate grv @nategrov]

Listen to the men worshiping at your church.
If they’re not singing, find a different church.
In the CREC, the men sing loud. 💪

Trends change!

This one went in a better direction.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

In 2022, 56% of Republicans said they believed gay or lesbian relations were morally acceptable.

Just 35% do today.

@edsstache My question is how good was NIU offense?

Newspaper interpretation of Christian Prince!

He should have learned that with his WSJ article.

[D G Hart @ReallyOldLife]

Christian prince not meeting with Christian church officers about Christian school. What could go wrong?

"He might have done Catholic bishops the courtesy of meeting with them to discuss the issue before posting his threatening letter on social media." https://t.co/D24ogQvQT2

Where does this put the R2Ker's?

[Peter Leithart @PLeithart]

The Sanhedrin wants a god of guarantees, whose entire reason for being is to ensure that their temple will stand and keep standing, no matter what.

Like all pagans, they want a god who ensures the persistence of the past, not a God who breaks down the present to make a new future.

For them, a God who destroys and raises up is a blasphemous God. This is what Sanhedrins of every age long for: a god who sanctions their traditions.

They will always send a God who kicks over their little monuments to the cross.

Is this real? Rap is dead? Rap was promoted by..... and now no one pays any attention? Joe Rogan says...

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Rap music is dead.

Scroll through the Top 100 and it’s nearly impossible to find a rap song. A massive stadium rap concert next month has only sold 160 tickets. That’s not a typo. Ludacris, T.I., Rick Ross, and BigXthePlug booked a Louisville stadium, and it looks abandoned. 20,000 tickets left unsold.

Ever since USAID got defunded, rap’s popularity has completely vanished. It used to be most of the Hot 100 — Now it’s nonexistent.

Meanwhile, country music is dominating the and selling out arenas across the country. Did the CIA really run the rap game?

[Bill Stupfell @bstupfell]

I assume in your worship there is some sort of call to faith explicit or implied and I hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.

1. Is it more like a call to reflection of your heart and motives?

2. Is it more like a call to action in a particular area of your life?

Might be both but which one is dominant?

Is that Jim Ryan?

@ZacharyGarris I like that. So simple too.

[Bill Stupfell @bstupfell]

@TorkWhisler There is a story in the bible along those lines. Is it the prodigal son? It didn't last long before he came to his senses.

Interesting fact:

🌧️ Rain at a single point in Minnesota can end up in 3 different oceans.

[Bill Stupfell @bstupfell]

Ok, a magistrate cannot "make a person a christian", pretty simple and straight forward but a magistrate/king can make a person/people sin according to I and II Kings.
21 times the kings followed in the sins of Jereboam son of Nebat and something to this order "made the people sin"
People follow leadership!

Now there is an idea. I met my wife in kindergarten. Dated at 16. 49 years coming up.

[Rae ❤️‍🔥 @FiatLuxGenesis]

Probably the best move in life is to marry your high school sweetheart, stay in your hometown around family, learn a trade or attend a local college or do classes online, live in a tiny starter home or rent a modest apartment or live with family.

Start out small. Grow together.

There is no perfect time to have a family. You just have children, work, play, grow together like everyone has done forever. It's hard. It's worth it.

It can be a beautiful life.
A simple and modest life is beautiful.

Influential Christian man!

[Zack DiPrima @ZackDiPrima]

It’s difficult to overstate how big a deal Dr. Mohler’s developments on Christian government are.

He is arguably the most important institutional evangelical of the last half century. Along with many, yet more than any other human figure, Mohler has meaningfully reformed the largest Protestant denomination in history. To my knowledge, the SBC is one of the only significant institutions to move from the left to the right.

It also takes an enormous amount of courage to make these arguments at this point in his life. @albertmohler
