Many conservatives have been encouraged by originalist Supreme Court decisions over the last 20+ years. Gun rights were preserved in Heller, free speech in Citizens United. We overturned Roe, ended racial discrimination through affirmative action, and overruled Chevron deference. Religious liberty and conscience rights have been repeatedly upheld and strengthened by the Court’s conservative majority. In the recent session, the Court found its footing and began to push back on the trans-insanity by preserving women’s sports.
Every one of those decisions is at risk if the Left succeeds in importing a replacement population and securing them as client classes through the bureaucratic slush funds that operate in every blue state. They want a court filled with the likes of Sotomayor, Ginsburg, and Jackson, who will not hesitate to impose every leftist fantasy on the American people. In short, every conservative win of the last forty years will be undone if we don’t address immigration, because replacement migration is the Left’s core strategy to acquire and retain permanent political power.
@Thatbrian Today I was listening to an episode about why and how husbands need to take feedback from their wives and how wives can give it kindly and respectfully.
@Thatbrian And for the record, yes, I also go to my pastors, elders, and local wise saints in my church community for these things. Which is actually something that is also encouraged from the guys in Ogden.
@Thatbrian Lots of really helpful marriage advice such as conflict resolution, principles of sexed piety, how to love my wife better and live with her in an understanding way, fatherhood advice, building a productive household, etc. Bright Hearth in particular is a rich helpful resource.
@JoelWebbon@not_our_guy apologize for saying Joel won’t talk about this or you are a liar and a hypocrite and none of the nazis will have any reason to ever trust anything you say and you will never convince them that hitler is not their guy (which he isn’t). Show some integrity.
If you engage in cultural and political issues as a pastor—particularly from the right wing—you will often hear this accusation-disguised-as-a-question:
"But what is the fruit of your ministry, pastor? Is it Christ or is it politics?"
My answer: Exactly. The fruit is exactly why we are addressing these things. Because the fruit of doing so—of straightforwardly addressing the spirit of the age—is so unassailably good.
Sincerely, you should try it. If ten-thousand pastors started boldly addressing egalitarianism, feminism, and liberalism with force and particularity tomorrow, the fruit would be incredible.
Would it be hard for them? Yes. Very hard. But would Christ be exalted and his people shepherded? Yes.
This is the first post-war building style that I’ve been impressed with
Absolutely stunning
And a reminder that the South is the seat of our future
How fitting this is being unveiled around America 250, and the founders were obsessed with classical history and classical virtue
@elimcgowan I understand your concern but you need to step back and understand that their 6th graders are probably more educated than most adults with a bachelor’s degree. The young women in their church are not uneducated.
@mymadness@elimcgowan You do realize “6th grade education” is a meaningless statement when talking about a private classical Christian school. Their 6th graders are probably more educated than most adults with a bachelor’s degree.
@elimcgowan The same amount? What do you mean by amount? Time reading textbooks? That’s silly. They receive a DIFFERENT education. Which is entirely biblical and absolutely logical. Look at the FRUIT of what is produced instead of squabbling about the method. What are we aiming at?
