"It was axiomatic for the Assembly that the civil ruler was not a neutral umpire, but had a role in promoting true religion."

"The magistrate, before anything else, and immediately from the beginning of his administration, should plant and nourish the Christian religion as the foundation of his imperium. ... The [magistrate] ought to establish ... only one religion in this realm, and that the true one."

Althusius: "What would human life be without the piety of the first table of the Decalogue, and without the justice of the second?"

Alright people, looks like we need to raise some more funds so @canonpress can offer more money to purchase @CTmagazine so that things like this never happen again. I propose a raffle: the winner gets to be HR for a day and fire Russell Moore. I think we can get to $20M.

Moscow’s Intoleristas are at it again. Yesterday, NSA’s invitation to Moscow City Council candidate Sage McCetich to participate in our annual candidate’s forum was rejected by candidate Sage because of, in part, NSA’s lack of warm inclusivity. This inclusive party being formed…

Compare and contrast. @VivekGRamaswamy may be doing a @TPUSA event, but @WFCJrc is actually representing Charlie Kirk’s perspective on the American Founding.


“That’s polytheism, Patrick.”

Judeo-Hindu-Islamo-Christian Values



Not just biblically allowed; biblically *required.* Love for God and neighbor means you must resist the spread of public idolatry that dishonors the Lord and harms people. Half the Old Testament was written to rebuke God’s people for allowing and participating in such things.

You are biblically allowed to oppose immigration policies that change your country’s culture from this to this.

Freedom of religion as understood by the founders is basically the right to be Presbyterian, Episcopal, Lutheran and Baptist, while Catholics would be tolerated on the fringes of society. Freedom of religion does not mean a public Islamic call to prayer, or a statue of monkey God


Pitch perfect examples of “the talk” that reinforces the progressive gaze.

The majority of mainstream evangelical leaders who now laud Charlie Kirk's legacy after his death would almost certainly have seen him as "a problem" within their church congregation, sitting him down for numerous iterations of "the talk"... - "Some of the women are starting to…



Solid article from @dmichaelclary on missiological strategy. The key issue is not that we attempt to cater to right-wing unbelievers (in the way that the Third Way approach sought to cater to the Left and therefore came to live beneath the progressive gaze). Rather, RW…

“I’m convinced that the most fertile mission field for the American church right now is right-wing unbelievers. Specifically, right-wing men.” —@dmichaelclary centerforbaptistleadership.org/the-right-wing…



One of the things I miss about the Reformed evangelical world of the 2000's and early 2010's is that there were common venues for discussing and debating various theological and cultural topics. From eschatology to spiritual gifts, from ecclesiology and ministry philosophy, folks…

I’m convinced that the most fertile mission field right now is right-wing unbelievers. Right wing and left wing unbelievers are not the same. It’s a naive pipe dream for churches to play the middle, offending neither left not right, in order to reach both with the gospel. It…


This is your brain on the progressive gaze.

When progressives are ascendant, social justice issues are gospel issues. When conservatives are ascendant, the church is neither right nor left. Thankfully almost everyone is starting to notice the rules of this particular game.



You know what would be fun and illuminating? If someone hosted a discussion/debate between @jdgreear and yours truly on the subject: "Should we seek to transcend the culture war?"

California passed a law to punish social media posts that mock "race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or other protected characteristics" LAST WEEK!

Gospel proclamation holds a privileged place. Is it cowardly to restrain ourselves where God’s Word doesn’t speak directly, or the political application is only implied? No, it’s because “witness” is our primary responsibility that shapes our agenda. thegospelcoalition.org/article/faithf…
