"On this day, we march to glorious spiritual combat. No more fetal positions. No more lamenting the 'Moscow mood' of those who already have their boots laced up for battle. For any who have ears to hear - THIS is the desperate hour to unsheath your swords, fix your bayonets, and join the counteroffensive to storm the very gates of hell itself."

Submission is an important theme in Paul’s letter to Titus, so this post will use that letter define submission and examine its importance in the church, workplace, and society. The next two posts will cover submission in the home, first in marriage then in the child-parent relationship.

Just like child sacrifice in ancient Israel, abortion mingles adultery and violence, so the church today must heed God’s warnings to Israel, because they are equally applicable to those who practice and support abortion today. This post examines abortion from Scripture’s perspective and how we can fight it.

“If you want to learn what a culture values, and if you're going to understand the worldview that underpins a nation, then you must look no further than their songs. No matter what the whompyjawed ideologues say behind fake smiles and teleprompters, and no matter what manufactured narratives are peddled by the bobbleheaded pundits in the fake news media, the hopes and dreams of a people will be found most clearly stated in their anthems, ballads, and refrains. If you want to know what a society believes in, where their hopes lie, what they think about the purpose of life, and why we are all here, then pay attention to the lyrics and hymns they produce. It will be telling."
