If earlier debates regarding Revoice were too esoteric for the ordinary believer, this report won’t be. It’s very clear that Revoice has chosen a path, but what this report describes is not the path to Christian faithfulness. Not by a long shot.

New at CBMW: “Report Says Revoice Embraces Radical Gender Ideology”

"[T]o stay with Revoice is not merely to legitimate more than subtle distinctions about sexual identity. In truth, it is to lend support to the anthropological chaos currently gripping American society."

“Revoice has changed, too… Identity rhetoric extended to transgender ideology. Speakers frequently referred to ‘sexual and gender minorities’ and used preferred pronouns, along with terms such as women ‘assigned female at birth.’”

This is such an important article by for . So many young people are spending their prime childbearing years in the wilderness of an unforgiving hook-up culture while not paying attention to something precious that is slipping away from them.

“This Board encourages The ... faculty to continue its theological training with this stated conviction—graduating both men and women for service to the church, but with men alone reserved for the office and function, and thereby title of pastor.”

Jonathan Leeman weighs-in on female "pastors" and the Saddleback controversy within the SBC.
Leeman shows that confusion about how many "offices" there are leads to confusion about whether women can be pastors.
Must-read.

Public Opinion and the Christian Conscience

Public opinion is not and never has been an unassailable authority on what is right and what is wrong.

You don’t race a house boat and a speed boat to see which is “better.”
Goodness is measured by form and function, which are rooted in design.

"Christians think that God Himself has taught us how to speak of Him. To say that it does not matter is to say either that all the masculine imagery is not inspired, is merely human in origin, or else that, though inspired, it is quite arbitrary and unessential.

On the "evangelical deconstruction project" of Du Mez, Barr, Jones, Tisby, etc.:
"Even if we agree with their conclusions, we should recognize that they are sowing the seeds of a deconstruction that goes far deeper than race, gender, and politics."

"In its broad central tradition and practice, the church—East and West and in a multiplicity of cultural and social settings—has consistently maintained that to men alone is it given to be pastors and sacramental ministers."

Hallelujah for this mom's loving response to her daughter:
“If you loved me, you’d use my pronouns,” Grace told Eva.
“You are asking me to make a choice between offending God and offending you,” Eva said. “I’m afraid I’m going to have to offend you.”

“'The 2nd worst thing we did, besides giving Grace social media, was let her stay in public school another year'...
That’s b/c the first rule of getting a family member out of a cult is to physically remove them from it."

The End of Roe in the Bright Light of June

It is fitting that Roe was decided in the dead of winter and that Dobbs is decided in the warmth of June. It's the difference between the White Witch and Aslan.

Hallelujah. After over 60 million people killed, Roe is overturned.
"The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives."
