Antinomianism looks at sin and says, "That's not really that bad." Legalism looks at sin and says, "I can fix that." Gospel holiness looks at sin, confesses it to the Lord, believes in His forgiving grace (1 Jn. 1:9), & trusts His power for repentance (1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 3:18).
Chesterton: "A civilization is not destroyed by wicked men; it is destroyed by weak men who cannot defend what is good.”
Every civilization falls the moment it decides it knows better than human nature: “We do not want a church that will move with the world. We want a church that will move the world. The great marches of civilization have not come from the clever, the adaptable, or the…

Saw earlier today a post/link about Chesterton influence on CS Lewis & each had a similar apologetic role. 1-who was that? Because 2-I didn’t get much on GKC from the 3-vol bio of Lewis by Harry Lee Poe.
Never knew this: Gluten-free communion wafers are not valid for the Roman mass! Per Concordia Supply and/or Cavanagh the manufacturer.
Find and follow truth-tellers like @DavidBahnsen: equal weights and measures, not cowardly tribalism that only sees sin and compromise in one direction.
I scrolled my top ten sources for people furious about various left wing 2020/21 cultural absurdities, particularly as it pertains to gender, life, and other traditional conservative values issues … those loudest about being principled and angriest about evangelicals who were…

Vos and Bavinck - important thoughts
Our Lord's doctrine of the two-sided [present and future] kingdom is an eloquent witness to the unique energy with which he subordinated the physical to the spiritual, as well as to the sobriety with which he upheld the principle, that the physical is not to be despised, but…

Just when I didn’t think I could be a bigger fanboy of Herman Bavinck…
After a long discussion of the types of marriages that are forbidden, Bavinck concludes that two reasons marriage outside of family lines is so good is that it broadens the circle of love and creates new variations in the human race.
Not perfect, but striving to grow each day.
We are not perfect , however we should strive to grow in virtue daily. Continuing this daily discipline will lead to ultimate perfection on the other side of eternity. This is a gift given to us by the Only One who is perfect in this world and in the next.
Tolkien’s deep and subtle faith and craft.
Fantastic investigative work from Jared Wellman into Tom Bombadil, unearthing an allusion I've never seen commented on. "There’s something brilliant about the way Tolkien's convictions seep into his craft without ever turning the craft into a tract." jaredcwellman.substack.com/p/did-tolkien-…
No matter how one conceives of a vision of "Christian Nationalism," it is always and simply an instance of "this world." See that phrase in John 18:36; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Cor 3:19; 1 Cor 7:31; Eph 2:2
Remembering that you are more blessed than you deserve, and have received unwarranted Grace already allows you to start this day with a grateful heart. Strive to wake up each day with this in mind and you will serve those in your span of influence and responsibility well.
A very good word here...
