"He bequeaths us His manger, from which we learn how God came down to man, and His cross to teach us how man may go up to God. All His thoughts, emotions, actions, utterances, miracles, and intercessions were for us. He walked the path of sorrow on our behalf and has left to us as His heavenly legacy the full results of all the labors of His life. He is now as much ours as He will be; and He does not shrink to acknowledge Himself “our Lord Jesus Christ,” though He is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Christ everywhere and in every way is our Christ, forever and ever most richly to enjoy."
-- Charles Spurgeon
It's a public school. His boy is 11. Here's what he saw:
"To begin, the boys are treated almost as though they are defective girls. The feminine modes of interaction and socialization are treated as though they are the only legitimate modes of interaction and serve as the taken-for-granted way to properly interact and navigate the world. Almost all the authority figures at my sons school are women with almost no exceptions.
My son often comes home from school and expresses utter frustration at the fact that his preferred way of communicating, as well as the things that are aligned with his temperament are treated as though they were somehow inferior. As he is 11 (and being assessed for autism) he lacks the correct technical language to describe this, so it generally shows up as him getting in trouble for being insufficiently "gentle" and "kind" in response to various passive aggressive power plays and instances of bullying carried out by his more socially developed (often) female peers....
Monogamy isn’t cultural preference; it’s creational norm. Polygamy might appear in chaos, but it always deepens the chaos.
God’s design is simple and enduring: one man, one woman, one covenant… strong enough to build households that stand and kingdoms that last.
Polygamy offers no solution for modern America. We aren’t a nation of widows or war-torn refugees. There are sufficient men for women, and women for men. There’s no social necessity behind this new fascination with multiple wives. What we’re seeing is moral decay baptized in Christianese.
The men pushing it aren’t rescuing anyone. They’re indulging appetites trained by pornography and self-gratification. They’ve learned to crave novelty and call it freedom. The idea of chastity, loyalty, and lifelong devotion feels foreign to them, so instead of repentance they rename their lust “biblical.” They quote Abraham and Jacob but ignore the misery polygamy brought into those men’s homes.
It isn’t biblical ...
Dr. Robert Redfield was CDC director from March 26, 2018, to January 20, 2021. A few days ago, his memoir about his adventures in public health—Redfield’s Warning: What I Learned (But Couldn’t Tell You) Might Save Your Life—was published.
Some of the subjects covered:
U.S. government agencies and U.S. biotechnology are largely responsible for creating SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19
US agencies—especially Dr. Anthony Fauci and his virology pals—then perpetrated the most massive cover-up in criminal history.
The currently circulating strain of H5N1 bird flu, which is now infecting a wide range of mammals, may also be the product of Gain-of-Function research.
The current strain of H5N1 could be further modified in a lab to make it transmit efficiently among humans. This modified pathogen could be released on a farm with animals already infected with H5N1 to create the illusion that it evolved naturally to jump to humans.
