A PHILOSOPHICAL NEW #PRESBYCASTEATS: Convenience store roller items!
@MrSeanGMorris gets a mention.
The Steak Ranchero Tornado finished more strongly than it began. The Cheddar Wurst squirted viscous fat/cheese on my window and my jacket. This is not a criticism.
To recap: There are three kinds people—1) those who are actually too good for roller dogs, 2) those who merely THINK they are too good for them, and 3) those who are NOT too good for them. You know who you are!
This roller had at about 8 items including tamales in corn shucks.

Rural America is likely to become even more of a confessional presbyterian and Reformed wasteland unless pastors/planters are willing to be bi-vocational or serve multiple churches. Many of those baptist, pentecostal, and even UMC churches don't have full-time pastors.
Circuit riders and tentmakers may be required. Are P&R folk too good for that? Are we satisfied being the gifted and talented program for evangelicals who read, a place for upwardly-mobile baptists, a group of denominations almost exclusively for affluent suburbs and cities?
This is not to argue for a Cumberland Presbyterian-style abandonment of requirements for educated ministry, but it might argue for more distributed, local education at a much lower price. And it certainly argues for more resources to small towns and rural areas.

Keeping your head is literally Hitler in 2023!

"Historical perspective could alleviate some of these sociologists’ fears. An earlier generation of scholars wrote about Xian nationalism, admitted it had its problems, all the while keeping their heads."
acton.org/religion-liber…
RIP narrative: "Why then did scholars 50 years ago practice restraint compared to the hysteria that characterizes academic literature on Christian nationalism today? One obvious explanation is the election of Donald Trump and the support he received from white evangelicals.
"With the exception of Trump’s Christian-friendly signals, like saying 'Merry Christmas' or holding a Bible for photographers after protests over policing in June of 2020, he was not obviously a spokesman for Christianity. If Trump did not add the Christian religion to...

America is in the midst of a culture war and Christians who wish to uphold biblical morality (especially re: sex and gender) are caught on the wrong side of it. Our best, brightest, and most urbane are scrambling to fashion winsome, nuanced third ways, but getting traditional...
Christians to take a political course that countenances abortion, normalizes drag queen story hours, and queers everything is not going to work. Strategies that resemble pacifism or accommodation will not be acceptable, even if lots of winsome gospel dust is heaped upon them.
Why? Because "You shall not murder," "Male and female he created them," & "God gave them up to dishonorable passions...those that are contrary to nature" are foundational, creation-level issues, not just about a biblical laws, but of life-and-death importance for humanity.

Calvin on Genesis 2:22:

Moses now relates that marriage was divinely instituted, which is especially useful to be known; for since Adam did not take a wife to himself at his own will, but received her as offered and appropriated to him by God, the sanctity of marriage hence...
more clearly appears, because we recognize God as its Author. The more Satan has endeavored to dishonor marriage, the more should we vindicate it from all reproach and abuse, that it may receive its due reverence. Thence it will follow that the children of God may embrace a...
conjugal life with a good and tranquil conscience, and husbands and wives may live together in chastity and honor.

The artifice of Satan in attempting the defamation of marriage was twofold:

Thesis: No confessional presbyterian church will long remain confessional or presbyterian if it loses Reformed worship.

First, some definitions:

-Confessional: orthodox soteriology and doctrine (especially of God) according to the Reformed confessions
-Presbyterian: government by ordained male (per scripture) elders organized in accountable, graded courts

-Reformed worship: scripturally regulated (RPW), simple, ordinary means of grace worship—a Reformed bucket to carry Reformed water.
Why will unscriptural, man-centered, culturally conditioned, over-contextualized worship undermine confessional orthodoxy? Because worship by its very form (which ought to be according to spirit—uppercase and lowercase— and truth) communicates certain things about the nature...
