You can judge Christians by how they deal with Titus 2. If they can’t acknowledge that Paul directs women’s work toward the home & children, then they reject the very words of Scripture or lack courage (or both). This is embarrassing from P&R.

A natural progression in the rejection of the biblical category of the household.

Speaking in tongues is biblical. Paul was obviously teaching about the difficulties of multilingual churches; all other interpretations are nonsense or ignorant. (1 Cor 14)

Interested to see where he lands... Certain MacArthurites and others have been active in promoting a meme-grade cessationism. Equally, there's not much Reformed interest in owning the Apostle's teaching on prophecy & tongues, leaving the door wise open for charismatic fantasies.
I’m pleased to announce that @canonpress will be publishing my forthcoming book, A Fire Still Ablaze: The Holy Spirit and the Reformed Tradition. I write as a committed cessationist who holds firmly to the sufficiency and final authority of Scripture, but my argument is that our Reformed forefathers allowed more room for supernatural oddities & surprises than many cessationists today. Our reaction to charismatic excess plus enlightenment and materialistic thinking has carried us beyond the boundaries that our own tradition maintained, leading to a newer version, or hyper-cessationism. The book includes some pretty astonishing primary-source material from the tradition, which is hardly (if ever) discussed by modern cessationists. It has now entered the copy-editing & formatting stage. Look for it June 2027, with pre-orders in the spring, D.V.

Matthew Everhard "Recovering Revival with Jonathan Edwards" The Church does not need to reinvent Christianity. It needs to recover what generations of faithful Christians understood, defended, and passed down. From the courage of the Reformers to the fires of revival, from the Christian household to the transformation of nations, our spiritual forefathers have much to teach us about faithfulness in our own day. This April, we're bringing their lessons to life. April 22–24, 2027 Sovereign Grace Family Church | Jacksonville, FL Only 150 seats available!

β€œThey’re not subverting church government and biblical roles, Anakin. They’re commissioned coworkers.”
β€œI am a shepherdess in a conservative PCA congregation. I lead the pastoral prayer each week!” β€œYou are a traitor and part of a subversive plot to liberalize the PCA known as National Partnership. Take her away.”

The essential skill of relating to people exactly your age.
Homeschooling should be illegal. β€œBut I teach my kids better than the state!” Doesn’t matter, the primary purpose of elementary/middle school isn’t to teach it’s to socialize your kid. You can’t do that alone. And this isn’t even mentioning how it can be used to abuse kids

Serious word of advice to non-technical office workers... AI is about to really do a number on button clicking jobs. Get ready, organise your finances, buckle up, trust the Lord.
