Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:41.740
So the question is this, so does the current rebellion in our nation, in America, represent
00:00:47.980
the righteous judgment of God towards the wicked or the loving discipline of the Heavenly
00:01:00.000
that the two things can be simultaneously true. That's the beauty of the manifold wisdom of God,
00:01:06.700
his sovereignty in the ends that he brings about, but also the means by which he brings those ends
00:01:13.200
about, that God is meticulously sovereign over all things, and he is infinitely powerful and
00:01:18.880
infinitely wise. And as such, God can be doing two things at once, with one rod, with one act,
00:01:27.680
as it were god can be judging the wicked and disciplining the righteous i believe that right
00:01:36.280
now god is judging the wicked in our nation by handing us over further and further to higher
00:01:44.540
degrees of a further progression of sin from wrong belief to wrong worship that is idolatry
00:01:51.560
to perversion attached to that idolatry and to the societal approval of that perversion.
0.78
00:01:57.880
And to the wicked, that is those who are not in Christ, to the unbeliever, that is a sign of God's
0.84
00:02:03.940
judgment on the wicked. But for the church, it's a sign of his discipline. Well, why would we need
00:02:11.280
to be disciplined? Because it happened on our watch. We're not being eternally judged. We're
00:02:18.640
not going to hell but we are being disciplined we now have to live in such a society
00:02:25.060
we have to experience the harmful effects we now have to to be more careful and more guarded with
00:02:34.560
our children more vigilant more determined we now have have the the scope of shame directed
00:03:06.780
adopted by grace through faith in Christ alone,
00:03:09.180
is that we should respond rightly to that discipline.
00:03:37.560
misguided compassion warped empathy abdication of our role our responsibility for the christian
00:03:46.600
that's our sin that's our failure and the lord has drawn this out by handing us over
00:03:57.140
the question is will we respond rightly to the rod of the lord to the discipline of a heavenly
00:04:07.100
father who loves his church will we say father you're right we failed will we repent will repentance
00:04:16.320
begin with the house of god will we work by grace not knowing if we'll be successful in this
00:04:23.580
generation in our lifetime but but consistently and faithfully and diligently nonetheless will
00:04:29.320
we work to set the ship right to repent of the church's failure first and then also address
00:04:36.440
the failure in society? Will we say that God's law is good and that every society has laws
00:04:43.020
and that laws are always inherently moral? The question is not whether, but which. By what
00:04:49.380
standard? Or will we be apathetic? Will we be pietistic? Not piety, love for God and spiritual
00:04:58.440
practices and worship, but pietistic, meaning will we be uninvolved? Will we inwardly retreat?
00:05:06.440
will we just look at the writing on the wall and say this is the way it's got to be
0.72
00:05:11.480
or will we look and say hey you know what Assyria they were destroyed the Canaanite tribes they were
00:05:19.940
destroyed but you know what there's another little story in the bible what about Nineveh
00:05:25.240
sometimes a society is wicked but God raises up prophets even reluctant prophets that disobeyed
00:05:33.860
for a while. They were pietists for a while. They ran and hid for a while, but eventually
0.91
00:05:38.820
by God's grace respond. They go and preach the message that they were called to. And sometimes
00:05:45.180
the wicked nation listens. All right, hold up. You're not going to want to miss this. I'm going
00:05:50.400
to tell you exactly how our spring 2024 conference is going to go down. Here's the title of the
00:05:55.640
conference. Blueprints for Christendom 2.0. Subtitle, Seven Doctrines for Ruling the World.
00:06:02.520
We're going to have seven primary sessions covering each of these doctrines for ruling
00:06:08.080
the world righteously. Number one, Reformed Confessionalism. That's going to be Pastor
00:06:13.360
Doug Wilson preaching on that topic. Then we've got Covenant Theology with Pastor Brian Sauvé.
00:06:18.900
Then we've got Biblical Patriarchy with Pastor Michael Foster. Then we've got Presuppositionalism
00:06:25.000
with Dr. Joseph Boot. Then we've got Kuyperianism, All of Christ for All of Life, where we're going
00:06:31.100
to welcome Pastor Doug Wilson back for a second session. Then we've got general equity theonomy.
00:06:37.220
We're going to have Dr. Joseph Boot come and do a second session on that topic. And then lastly,
00:06:42.220
we'll have Pastor Dale Partridge on post-millennial eschatology. In addition to these seven sessions,
00:06:48.200
we're also going to have not one, but two live podcasts. On the first day of the conference,
00:06:54.120
that's Friday, March 1st, we're going to have a live theology applied podcast. I'll be on the
00:06:59.560
stage hosting the discussion with Douglas Wilson, Michael Foster, and Eric Kahn from It's Good to Be
00:07:05.560
a Man. The topic is going to be all about biblical patriarchy. We're going to specifically be parsing
00:07:11.580
out, distinguishing the biblical doctrinal differences between patriarchy and complementarianism.
00:07:18.140
Again, that's Friday, March 1st, the first day of the conference, a live Theology Applied podcast
00:07:23.560
on biblical patriarchy. Then we're going to have the next day, that's Saturday, March 2nd,
00:07:29.600
a live Haunted Cosmos podcast. I'll be hosting this discussion with Brian Sauve and Ben Garrett.
00:07:36.280
We're going to be talking about the Nephilim. We're going to be talking about the Watchers.
00:07:39.560
We're going to be talking about what creatures currently are living underneath the surface of
00:07:43.880
the earth and chasms of the deep. It's going to be wacky. It's going to be weird, but it will also
00:07:48.600
be thoroughly biblical and incredibly unhinged. So you're not going to want to miss these two live
0.76
00:07:53.960
podcasts, Theology Applied, on Friday, March 1st, the first day of the conference on biblical
00:08:00.220
patriarchy with Doug Wilson, Michael Foster, Eric Kahn, and myself. And then the next day of the
00:08:05.460
conference, Saturday, March 2nd, a live Haunted Cosmos podcast with Brian Sauve and Ben Garrett
00:08:11.940
and myself on the Nephilim, the Watchers, and what lies under the surface of the earth. And then the
00:08:17.860
conference will hold over for one final, the third and final day. That's going to be the Lord's Day,
00:08:23.440
Sunday, March 3rd, where one of our speakers will be holding over to preach the Lord's Day sermon,
00:08:28.960
and I'll be leading us in worship through the liturgy. So we've got three days, a Friday,
