Men, do not be so concerned with finding a woman who is completely informed doctrinally or politically. If she has a feminine spirit and submissive attitude, she will adopt your beliefs.

Women, do not be so concerned with finding a man who is completely mature or successful. If he has a masculine spirit and a virile attitude, he will grow into that which you esteem him to be.

The lie of our age is that we ought to seek "the one," who will be a prepackaged perfect custom designed specimen for our desires. The reality is that we ought to seek a spouse who has the root of the matter in them, and can grow up into the fullness of Christ.

A woman, since her primary need is for love, will want to make herself beautiful to her husband and so conform over time to his desires.

A man, since his primary need is for respect, will want to make himself worthy of the honor his wife shows him and so conform to her desires.

One of the arguments for open borders is missional: once migrants come to America, they will become more Christian as they assimilate.

You can hear the sound of that theory shattering like glass. @Presbyterianism

“Desperate times call for faithful men, and not for careful men. The careful men come later, and write the biographies of the faithful men, lauding them for their courage.”

— Doug Wilson

When should we correct a fellow Christian? It's a question of wisdom but here are some points to ponder comparing the costs to the benefits:

1) How serious is the error? The more serious, the greater the benefit of the correction.

2) How much authority do you have on paper? The more authority on paper, the greater the responsibility to correct.

3) How much authority do you have in the bank?* The more authority in the bank, the more likely correction will be heeded.

*The distinction is illustrated by say, our friends, who if they suggest something to us, we'll probably listen (authority in the bank), but they have no authority over us on paper. A good synonymn would be "influence."

4) How likely is it that the issue will be corrected by someone else, or corrected by the individual himself. The more likely, the less your responsibility to correct.

The first Reformed catechism was the Geneva Catechism, written by John Calvin in 1545. His printer was running a tight deadline, and so he had a courier running back and forth to bring each successive page of the catechism to the printer as soon as Calvin finished writing it. Taking a much more conversational tone, it's a wonderful supplement to the Westminster Shorter, whose first question is directly inspired by Calvin's:

Question1 Master. — What is the chief end of human life?
Scholar. — To know God by whom men were created.

Protestantism is the result of reading and believing the New Testament.

Reformed Theology is the result of reading and believing the Old Testament.

Apologetics are a wonderful tool for answering unbelievers, but as you defend the faith, remember that your interlocutors are suppressing the truth in unrighteousness (Rom. 1:18) and are not good faith debaters.

Underneath their intellectual facade lies a twisted Gollum heart of rage and rebellion. Peel back the thin paint, and you will find ugly altars to sin, webs of self-deciet, and burning jealousy.

Beneath the fig leaves is only shame. Conduct your apologetics accordingly.

“As God made all things for Himself, so He orders the end of all things made by Him for His own glory. For being the most excellent and intelligent agent, He does reduce all the motions of His creatures to that end for which He made them.”

—Stephen Charnock, A Discourse of Divine Providence p. 11

A 5-part litmus test for identifying solid spiritual leaders:

1) Do they acknowledge and abhor sodomy, homosexuality, and transgenderism as unequivocal evils?

2) Do they affirm the authority of the Scriptures and regard them as inerrant?

3) Do they acknowledge and abhor the ubiquitous hatred of Whites?

4) Do they confess the ancient creeds and consistently hold to more exhaustive confessions (Westminster, 1689, Concord, 39 Articles, etc.)?

5) Do they themselves have solid spiritual leaders and peers in their lives? Truly, bad company corrupts good morals.

Really excellent talk. The core nugget is that classically, the "two kingdoms" were understood not as sacred vs secular but as visible vs invisible. The core question is this: Two kingdoms, but how many kings? And how many laws? The correct answer is, "Only one."
