Wokeness and the Souls of our children: A Megathread

1/ I asked, "Why are so many grown children are going woke even though they came from healthy Christian homes?"

Pastor Rich Lusk answered:

I get asked regularly why I address “woke” issues so much from the pulpit…

2/ It’s for the sake of the kids, to inoculate them against the garbage that’s out there but it’ll continue to be a problem no matter what we do - even if we preach on these things, get our kids in solid Christian educational environ, etc., it will still be an issue for us.

3/ And that’s because wokeness is the spirit of the age.

And there will always be people who rebel against the truth because they’d rather fit in and go with the flow.

Worldliness is what it is, and some in the church will always be led astray.

1 A household is a miniature world.

It is a micro-cosmos. Every household is one atom in the substance of God’s kingdom. And it is through man's powerful sex drive that these households are built.

Then, through households, societies are established.

2 Culture begins and emanates from the household. It is where the next generation of men is shaped and trained, until they leave their father and mother, join themselves to a wife, and start the process anew.

It is through households that dominion is exercised.

3 One man alone achieves very little. A man and wife achieve more. A man, his wife, & their grown children are a force to be reckoned with—especially as those children in turn build households that fit together into his, establishing an extended house of considerable power.

1/ What to say about Juneteenth?

Well, I'm glad that chattel slavery came to an end in the states. Not a fan of a bloody civil war. But I understand why those who descended from slaves would want to celebrate their freedom & look to do so on a day that represents a milestone.

2/ I'm not offended by it. Does it warrant a national holiday? I don't know. My attitude is pretty ambivalent. I think most national holidays are unnecessary.

3/ I do suspect that Juneteenth will be used as yet another tool to further advance Critical Race Theory and shame anyone who doesn't bow the knee to the religion du jour.

So I get why many will be annoyed and even angered at the conversation around Juneteenth.

So this guy pretended to be me and emailed our church email which forwards to me.

So I rolled with it and pretended to be our church secretary and had some fun.

Gmail is the fake me and the Info email is our "church secretary." Here we go...

1/ A thread on sex, marriage, and children...

Our society, in general, is rejecting the biblical teaching that marriage, sex, and children are inseparable and interrelated components of a household.

So much so that if one is missing there are real and lasting consequences...

2/ For example, a marriage that is sexless is an exceedingly difficult marriage. Sex is one of the chief benefits of marriage. It helps alleviate sexual temptation and is source of comfort in a fallen world. That is the teaching of Scripture and the Westminster Standards.

3/ Sex that is marriage-less is destructive. It leads to children growing up in homes with a single parent and is a major cause for abortions.

Moreover, there are the improper emotional bonds that it creates between two people with no covenantal commitment made to each other.
