The title is unfortunately not satire. Though even I am surprised at how quickly mainstream conservative evangelicalism has become conformed to the world. Joe Carter, or Joke Harder as he is affectionately known in our circles, begins by noting the recent endorsement of gay marriage by David French. Carter admits that French’s position has received “considerable backlash” and seeks to articulate a tenable alternative while addressing French’s concern, which is that he wants “gay couples to enjoy marriage-equivalent legal protections but without changing the legal definition of marriage.”read more
“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake” – Matthew 10:22
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” – Matthew 16:24-25
“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” – John 15:18
I don’t know Thomas Achord personally but I wish that I did. I know of Thomas through social media, through his commentary with Stephen Wolfe on the Ars Politica podcast, and through his co-authorship with Darrell Dow of the masterpiece Who is My Neighbor? An Anthology of Natural Relations. I always find his posts and comments on Facebook to be wise, insightful, and articulate. Thomas is able to speak to controversial topics without rendering needless offense in a concerted effort to maintain peace. I have found Thomas to be a true “man’s man” who combines his considerable learning with practical knowledge that he is able to use as a provider and protector of his family. It’s without exaggeration that I can say that Thomas Achord provides an excellent example for other men to follow. I often feel challenged in a good way by Thomas’s posts to better myself.read more
Elizabeth II, Dei Gratia Britanniarum Regnorumque Suorum Ceterorum Regina, Consortionis Populorum Princeps, Fidei Defensor for 70 years, 7 months, and 2 days, went to face the LORD God on September 8, 2022.
Well….bye.
I don’t know if Tribal Theocrat has any Anglican readership to speak of, but if it does I’m sure I just alienated the tens of…well, tens of them with that bit of disrespectful effrontery. Well, that’s too bad. I’m not in the habit of cultivating the opinions of people who think standing a full day in queue to pay homage to any mere mortal is a civic duty rather than a ghoulish morbidity more apropos to caressing an embalmed Lenin’s cheek in worship, or to ensuring that Stalin is really and truly dead.read more
This is the argument being advanced by a Jewish synagogue in Florida in claiming religious based exemptions from a state law restricting abortion access. The legal journal Verdictreports, “The Congregation L’Dor Va-Dor, a Jewish synagogue in Florida, has sued the state saying that Florida’s new restrictive abortion laws violate their religious faith. As a matter of faith, they reject the notion that life begins at conception and further believe that the pregnant person’s health and life matter.” The article continues, “To be sure, the Satanic Temple has filed similar cases in particularly restrictive states over the last decade, but mainstream religions have been sitting on the sidelines as restrictions in a number of states have become increasingly inconsistent with their faiths.”read more
Why else would the mighty conglomerate known as Netflix show its first-ever signs of legacy fatigue because, as it turns out, people don’t look upon it as their moral duty to pay ever-increasing subscription rates to view Barack Obama narrating a history of the Stonewall Riots, or to view Idris Elba portraying Thomas Jefferson, or to view the umpteenth iteration of a poor Jewish soul wandering lost and abused through Nazi-occupied Europe spreading the heathen gospel of Semitic humanism? This offal is why Christians cut their cable to begin with. No thanks. Time to move on.read more
So your fifth cousin twelve times removed finally jumped off the Good Ship Complacency Narrative and started to clue in that there was more to 9/11 than met the eye, and that the medical Maoists heralding Covid orthodoxy nonstop might not have his best interests at heart? In all sincerity, wonderful news! From such small seeds do Godly worldviews blossom, if the Gardener prunes the spreading foliage to produce maximum fruit.
But….if he’s still a wet-behind-the-ears waif, he might not quite grasp yet just what a minefield this internet of “ours” is. And if he desires to glorify God through sounding the warning bell to those who are as at sea as he once was, it is incumbent upon him to accrue some cyber-street smarts rather quickly, lest he finds himself cast adrift into the seemingly endless void of NPC’s and finds himself a walking, talking, mocking meme. At any rate, here are a dozen rookie mistakes he ought to be cognizant of.read more
Recently a draft document leaked from the Supreme Court indicates that a preliminary majority of justices would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, which infamously struck down state laws banning abortion in 1973. The Left has reacted with all too predictable anger and outrage, as well as firm resolve that murdering children is a woman’s “right” that will be forever protected throughout the United States. The mainstream conservative response has ranged from jubilation to cautious optimism. Many acknowledged that whatever happens when a final judgment is reached in June that there is still much work to be done.read more
Ah, springtime. When a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of….yelling in the park with a bunch of sign-wielding gendernondenominationals about the Current Thing that social media says is fundamental. And with the Covid narrative hardening into the stale musty dog droppings that we always knew it was, I guess that means we should start looking beyond our shores for further adventures. Therefore, we took the liberty of calling upon Dr. Endicott B. Strangelove, deacon affiliated with a breakaway Presbyterian congregation so conservative they ditched their masks a full week before their governor decreed they could so do, to tap his brain on the Ukrainian situation. Download his app on your Android device today!read more
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for the past several weeks and I have some belated thoughts on the matter. In America we are being told that Russia is invading Russia simply because they are a bully. The conflict has provided Conservative, Inc. with a convenient distraction from having to actually hold the Biden administration accountable for the complete dumpster fire that his Presidency has been. Instead we can be assured that the predominant Republican talking point for the upcoming midterm elections will be that the Biden administration has been soft and incompetent in its dealings with Russia.read more
Gary North, a prominent founder of the Christian Reconstructionist movement passed away on February 24. North was a prolific author and speaker who frequently wrote and lectured on politics, libertarian economics, the gold standard, and postmillennial eschatology. North was influenced by his future father-in-law, R.J. Rushdoony who convinced him that God’s law serves as the foundation for all Christian morality and ethics. North also became convinced that God’s mandate for mankind to take dominion in Gen. 1:28 coupled with Christ’s Great Commission meant that the Gospel message wasn’t solely concerned with the salvation of individual sinners, but that the Bible also promises the conversion of the nations and consequently the transformation of the social order into conformity with God’s law.read more
