JOHN MACARTHUR ON CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

John MacArthur got into the Christian Nationalism discussion recently. I'll play you the audio and respond, I hope, with some grace and humility.

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

Perry Noble is now cursing in sermons and benching 400 pounds on stage to "make a point." How do we help people drawn in by these personalities to come out of these places?

WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH?

A recent Instagram posed that question recently. It was a GOOD question, but it SHOULD be a secondary question. I'll give details.

On This Episode:

WHAT DO KIDS LICKING TOES, A LOCAL FIGHTING LEAGUE, AND ONLY FANS HAVE IN COMMON?

I recently noticed that an event is coming to my area where local, random men, can sign up to fight other random men, so other people can pay money to watch them punch each other. I then heard a story about children licking peanut butter off of toes at a school in Oklahoma and another story about OnlyFans.

All of these fans demonstrate our low anthropology and how lowly we think about what it means to be a human. The entire discourse sent me back to CS Lewis's "Abolition of Man." It has some lessons we need to learn quickly.

LOS ANGELES SCHOOL INDOCTRINATION VIDEO

A video has surfaced that is used in training L.A. teachers. In that video, they do a skit that informs a man he must use the "preferred pronouns" of a co-worker. They then tell him he "can believe whatever he wants," but he must "keep it out of the workplace.

Wait. Believing men and women are distinct has been every human's take for over 6,000 years of human history. About ten years ago, Woke white people changed their mind on fundamental biology. If anyone is bringing a cultic "belief" to work and forcing it on anyone else, it's the "transgendered" person.

EXPERTS ARE FINE, BUT SOMETIMES COMMON SENSE IS ALL YOU NEED

A recent conversation about what books should be in school libraries had me witness a grown woman claiming she didn't know if lewd, pornographic images should be available to elementary schoolers and that only "sex educators" would know.

We have over-romanticized the role of "experts." Sometimes, you just need some obvious, common sense.

OUR ROTTEN MASCULINE/FEMININE DYNAMIC

Over a period of three days last week, I had several experiences that made me evaluate how rotten the dynamic is now between men and women. It made me wonder what broke it. I've been watching "Masters of the Air" on AppleTV and noticed how healthy the masculine/feminine dynamic was back then. I think the distinction was that era told men their duty was to sacrifice themselves for their families, communities, and culture. A generation of women saw men rising to their task, respected those men, and those men thrived. We have something to learn there.

SOCIAL MEDIA GOES TO COURT

Meta (Facebook & Instagram), TikTok, and Alphabet (YouTube & Google) are suing Texas over a law that says those social media companies cannot show favoritism to some content while artificially constraining other content. This is a confusing set of arguments with no clear left/right, red/blue divide. I'll try to walk you through it.

OH HOW THINGS CHANGE

The 1995 State of the Union address from Bill Clinton recently resurfaced. In that address, he celebrates the bipartisan effort at more border security, faster deportations, restrictions on giving welfare benefits to illegal migrants, and more hardcore efforts against illegal immigration. The room erupted into applause. Only THIRTY YEARS ago, that was a bipartisan issue. Consider how much we've changed.

That experience led me back to other audio when Barack Obama chided Mitt Romney for Romney thinking RUSSIA was a chief enemy, everyone on the Left saying marriage is for one man and one woman, and even Biden saying into 1987 that all rights come from God.

It's a stark realization of how much the world has changed in a short 35 years,

On This Episode:

THE MASCULINITY WE NEED

Nancy Pearcy is one of my favorite authors, and made a fantastic point of not contrasting manhood to womanhood. We need to first contrast it to BOYHOOD. We must hold to the male/female distinctions, but first, let's have men who want to leave childhood behind.

EXAMPLE OF BAD MANHOOD

An absolute lout went off at a New Hampshire school board meeting. I'll play the audio as an example of "what not to do."

YOUR ENEMY'S ENEMIE AREN'T YOUR FRIENDS

I'll use two examples, primarily Tucker Carlson' visit to Russia, to be sure we know that our the Machivellian alliances we make are often terrible.

TAX FACT

Almost always, when we lower tax rates, our revenue GOES UP. That is very true of the 2017 tax cut. I know that's not intuitive, but I'll explain it and why it's important we get that right.

On This Episode:

8 MINUTES OF FOOTBALL TALK

I enjoy this Chiefs dynasty. I have mostly disliked other dynasties. I'll use 8 minutes to indulge in sports talk.

SUPER BOWL CONSPIRACIES

The "NFL is rigged" people have zero arguments. I'll break down and refute these conspiracy theories.

CONSPIRACY THINKINGS MUST STOP

I'll itemize why conspiracy thinking is so damaging to culture and humanity. Also in this segment, I do get the damage of secular leftism. It's godless paganism with terrible ideas, leading to ruin the West. While that is totally true, on the Right, we do have a growing conspiracy problem that needs response.

TRAVIS KELCE NEEDS TO GROW UP.

The Tight End's screaming at his coach was embarrassing and the opposite of the masculinity we need modeled. Adults, regulate your emotions.

HE GETS US AD

One of the advertisements was incomplete. One improperly applied Jesus washing his DISCIPLES feet. It also coddled some sins. On the brightside, it creates conversations where theologically sound people can speak truth to error.

On This Episode:

THE GREATEST "PRIVILEGE OF ALL"

I've argued for years that the greatest "privilege" in life isn't ethnic, educational, or economic. It's familial -- having 2 parents. This new book lays out the data and the crisis we're in that marriage and child-raising are now disconnected in our age.

#TwoParentPrivilege

"ONLY FANS" MOM AND A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

A woman who makes her living in digital prostitution was repeatedly taking her children to their Christian school with a gigantic sticker on her back window, advertising her OnlyFans account. The school asked her to stop bringing the pornography advertisement to a children's school. We must stop letting people's "autonomy' take precedent over decency for kids.

OREGON'S DRUG LEGALIZATION FAILURE

Oregon decriminalized most drug use a couple years ago. Overdose cases are up by a factor of 5. Those overdoses ending in death is up by a factor of 4. Portland's downtown is an unsafe, drug-filled wasteland. It was an unmitigated disaster, and we should take note of that anytime someone brings up legalizing more drugs.

A "PASTOR" PUSHES HIS OWN CRYPTOCURRENCY

A corrupt "pastor" fleeced $3 million from his flock, keeping $1 million for himself while losing everyone else's money. His constant justification was that "The Lord told him" to take various steps. Mark people that claim God is speaking to them directly, an avoid them.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BORDER

The Biden Administration claims they need new laws to handle the crisis at the border. I'll play audio from Bill Maher to illustrate that even the normie-90s-liberal knows that claim is a lie.

2024 IS 1992

I will illustrate how the 2024 election is shaping up to look A LOT like the 1992 election. It's almost eerie.

On This Episode:

TAYLOR SWIFT CONSPIRACY

Let me dispel the notion that malign actors are executing a Psy-Op, using the NFL and Taylor Swift to push the Left. We're plenty enough a pagan people for Leftism to thrive without a conspiracy.

MATT WALSH ON ART VANDALS

The Catholic commentator says we should execute the vandals of the Mona Lisa and other destroyers of famous art works. Let's use Biblical wisdom to correct his thinking and surmise the proper punishment.

ARE PASTORS BLOGGING TOO MUCH?

We'll consider the wisdom of an older pastor who thinks pastors are online too much.

ARE ALL SINS EQUAL? No.

I'll provide arguments and audio to demonstrate that the idea that we all just "sin differently" is unbiblical. Some sins are actually worse than others.

On This Episode:

TRUMP CONSOLIDATION

That happened fast. With Governor Desantis gone, the 2024 race is set: two elderly, unpopular men. I have several thoughts of analysis, including the fact that there's never been a bigger opportunity for a third party.

SCHOOL LUNCHES IN THE SUMMER

My State is debating a school lunch program for the summer. That led me to a couple thoughts regarding the arguments in favor of it. It seems these politicians are often telling me my BIBLE tells me this program is needed. So, I have to ask: does that make summer school lunches... Christian Nationalism?

CHRISTIANS ANS GAY WEDDINGS

A rock-solid Bible teacher recently created controversy with an answer about Christians and homosexual weddings. I want to respond to that.
