The Tulip Driven Life

  These are my thoughts in light of this debate/discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsrThQp3KHA  I also have a video reply here:   https://x.com/ptomer/status/1821251772499009687 An Escondido Escapade: Christian Nationalism, Wolfe, Gordon, & Wilson 1.      This isn’t about postmill or amil or premill as much as it is what is reality in front of us, and is civil government/magistrates under God’s authority. a.      If it is, then should Christians seek the power of the sword of the magistrate to be used to punish evil and promote good, Rom. 13., 1 Pet. 2:13-17, etc. b.     Gordon seems to mostly say we must submit to God’s providence, implying that to try and bring reform to the civil realm is to pry into the secret will of God, to refuse to suffer for righteousness’ sake, etc. c.      Would he apply this standard to reform in the Church and its leadership/ministers? At one point he said something like he already has godly rule and reign – in the Church. That’s laugh

                          A Blueprint for Christian Renewal in our Times 1.       Know what it means to be a man or woman, male or female created in God’s image (Gen. 1-2; I Cor. 11, etc.) a.       You can have great theology, know all about justification, sanctification, predestination, etc., but if you don’t understand patriarchy and male rule, you will be a weak man and a hard, harsh woman in life and in your marriage. b.      Nothing works if you do not understand yourself rightly as a man or woman redeemed in Christ. Read Zach Garris’s Masculine Christianity or Honor Thy Fathers. Feminine women and masculine men are glorious and pleasing to God. 2.       Get married, have lots of kids, and raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. a.       Obviously, some will be older and already married, or not able to have children providentially. But these are the exceptional situations. b.      Belly-aching from younger single Christian men and women regarding marriage
