  1. just so y’all understand that the #SSPX is basically a #fascist cult, without Lefebvre there would have, most likely, never been a Jean-Marie Le Pen or a National Front in #France

    the SSPX was #MAGA #evangelical #christofascist before it was cool. you've never heard of them because they hate evangelicals, christofascists or otherwise.

  2. Why do so many #evangelical leaders end up being… creeps?

    "In this video, I explore the disturbing pattern of #abuse, manipulation, and scandal among #Christian leaders — from #prosperitygospel #televangelists to #culturewar #preachers. This isn’t just about a few bad apples. These #ministries attract creeps, protect them, and often reward them for their worst behavior."

  3. Why should those who are #Reformed & #evangelical insist on the importance of #liturgical #worship ?

    Because:
    1) Worship is always presented as liturgical in the #Bible
    2) Liturgical worship is the historic/universal form of the Church’s worship.
    3) Liturgical worship is #sacramental - it presents the Gospel not only via the word, but also through the #sacraments ordained by God - and as such it is more faithfully biblical.
    4) ALL the magisterial reformers worshipped liturgically.
    5) Biblically shaped liturgy is missionally oriented - it shapes the worshipper for/towards #mission .
    6) Liturgy is formative of “sticky” #faith : a) because it engages a person’s whole being, it tends to reinforce faith wholistically (not merely intellectually), b) because it is is sacramental the person TANGIBLY encounters God’s #grace , c) because historic liturgy is robustly biblical it soaks the person in Scripture, and d) because it is patterned/repetitive it becomes engrained.

  4. What #Katie #Britt’s misleading, melodramatic speech revealed about the Republican Party

    The question for the #evangelical #voters who make up much of the Republican base is
    -- how much more politics can #outweigh #morals in the name of whatever conservatism even means anymore?

    Politico reported Monday that an evangelical group is 🔸spending north of $60 million🔸 to get a twice-impeached, repeatedly indicted former president back in the White House,
    so perhaps that is our answer.

    The whole “moral majority” movement in conservative politics always involved #theatrics and #cosplay.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene took it to a new level by deploying Hunter Biden’s sexting photos during a House committee hearing.

    And now the future of the Republican Party is sitting in a kitchen purporting to speak honestly with voters of faith while telling a lurid lie for political purposes.

  5. #TheRapture is one of those serendipitous finds that used to make #CableTV so satisfying for me.

    The best thing (along with #FullBodyMassage) that I've seen #MimiRogers in, and also my introduction to #DavidDuchovny.

    The post-80's #evangelical theme is, sadly, still timely. I don't know if the rest will hold up.

    I do know that ending has stuck with me more than 30 years and is why #TheCriterionChannel has it in 90's #horror.

  6. Read the Bible like a Biblical Theologian:

    1. Take original readers seriously
    2. Follow the history (it's not a book of quotes)
    3. The author and genre play a role
    4. The Bible interprets the Bible
    5. Christ is the climax
    6. Biblical Theology must drive to Systematic Theology
