Reformed and Dangerous's Mortification of Sin
Reformer John Owen returns... with reverb. (And you can get the shirt here.)
The mysterious power of male sexuality
Tim Challies on how male sexuality – often portrayed as purely problem by the world and even Christians – was originally made good by God, and does indeed have a powerful good purpose.
The truth about Tumbler Ridge
When a killer murdered 8 people, injured 25 more, and then murdered himself in the small northern BC town of Tumbler Ridge this past week, the media was quick to make points about guns, but not about the elephant in the room – that the killer was a man who claimed to be a woman. We can call it mentally ill, but we shouldn't lose sight of it simply being wicked, and it is a wicked society that reinforces this. As Samuel Sey noted, "A society that encourages trans people to not value the bodies that God gave them shouldn’t expect them to value the bodies that God gave to others." There is something going on here with trans-identifying shooters becoming increasingly common, and again, Samuel Sey says what few others are willing to notice:
“A 2022 Quebec study reveals that transgender youth are the most likely group to support violent radicalization. When we encourage people to identify as victims, vengeance and violence are inevitable.”
Rev. Jim Witteveen is another who is noticing. He has noticed that the evolution of transvestism from pathology to a lifestyle that must be always honored (even when you've murdered 9) shows "the entire worldview of modern psychiatry is built on shifting sand. There is no stability to it. It has no foundation in reality."
The necessary gift of dependence
The author writes as someone who is wheelchair bound, struggling with his dependence on others, but realizing that all of us are, always and forever, entirely dependent on God. And we are, even in our dependence, still used by Him to help others.
How to guide your children through the Digital Age
The algorithm is shaping your kids. You can help them resist by:
- teaching them to ask "what message is this digital media trying to communicate?" Help them spot the worldview being pushed.
- reclaiming the silence in your own life and showing them how it can be done. We don't need constant distraction.
- helping them see through the online identity trap. You are not how many followers you have.
Parents need to model it, if we're going to pass it on.
Making complementarianism work...
This gent offers up quite a good quick overview of headship in marriage.
