#OTD March 20, 1928: Fred Rogers, American Presbyterian minister and beloved host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, is born. Premiering in 1968, his show became public television’s longest-running children’s program, teaching generations about kindness, empathy, and the value of every person.

It's possible to be a zealous defender of Reformed orthodoxy, a vigorous apologist, and a stalwart polemicist against error and heresy -- AND have a kind and gracious heart, filled with the love and mercy of Jesus!

My word. Does he interact with real Reformed people or just online Reformed people? The real ones are selling out RHB regularly and tearing through the Puritans.
Alastair Roberts@zugzwanged

The flipside of considering the current Reformed leadership class is considering the current Reformed attention economy. What is the relative degree of attention and audience for long books? Sermons? Conference talks? Twitter drama? Podcasts? Short-form videos?

@ColtonYarbro Many who hold to definite/limited atonement haven’t read Owen either. The view is not exclusive to or dependent on Owen or even the Purotsns at large.

I am starting to realize that many (not all) who hate on John Owen’s view of the atonement in ‘The Death of Death’ may not have ever read it… #dothereading

@zugzwanged Most in the “cultural commentary box” are unlikely to rise to, provide actual, positive ecclesiastical or theological leadership.

"By psalms he means all godly songs which were written upon various occasions, and by hymns, all such as contain the praise of God, and by spiritual songs, other more special and artful songs which were also in praise of God, but they were made fuller of music."

@DZRishmawy Yeah, I haven’t read the last couple of fill-in books. I find those and the prequels to over explain things and flatten the universe (Duneiverse?). Maybe that’s the point of the human stagnation the Golden Path sought to avoid cast-iron ham with cheese mac & cheese.

@Cad_lib I read the original series, the two prequel trilogies, and then the two that we’re supposed to follow out with the original series. And then I tapped out. So probably about 13 books. I know Duncan Idaho became the central character. But still felt downstream from Paul’s plan.

This is continually reinforced through Leto’s Golden Path and even later in the ending duology series where the Idaho golem is fighting the returning AI.

@AndyMasley You need to understand that even though paul atreides can canonically see the future, and is following the only course of action that persists humanity, he is actually a bad man.

@jared_555 @presbycast You’re just doubling down on blanket endorsement & elevation of Geneva’s practices and now equating it with early church. Your insult tells me what I need to know about you. Good day.

@Cad_lib @presbycast That's not actually a contrarian answer, it's just stupid. The reformed regulative principle comes down to doing what scripture commands. Which is what the early church did.

@jared_555 @presbycast I admit this is a little bit of a contrarian answer but it is awful interesting that the Reformed RPW boils down to 16th- and 17th-century practices and never seeks to get any closer to the 1st/2nd centuries of the Church’s beginning.

@jared_555 @presbycast That claim is not proven by the 1560 Notes to Geneva Bible. The genres are explained in Col 3 but no scope/concept of gathered worship is mentioned. Eph 5:18 doesnt even go as far as notes on Col 3

@presbycast The men who wrote the notations for the Geneva Bible, just like the Westminster Confession, confessed exclusive psalmody.

@presbycast "3:18(1) He goeth from precepts which concern the whole civil life of man, to precepts pertaining to every man's family . . ." The Genevan notes do not identify Colossians 3:16 as touching on the RPW or the use of such songs in worship. Civil life vs. . . ?

@jdahlxn Be sure to read Muether biography of Van Til (published by P & R); get the true background of struggle over control of the direction of WTS & the OPC, which were very close aligned in those years. Some were openly critical of CVT, etc as “foreigners” & sought to move mainline.

Ah yes, no chain stores at all in 1946. A&P grocery chain was not a thing. Neither was Woolworth's. Nor Sears, JC Penney, Macy's, and various other department store chains. Pretty sure there were people addicted to all manner of drugs then too, from cocaine to pot to painkillers. It's like these idiot influencer accounts have no sense of history and have never read Ecclesiastes.

Watch footage like this carefully. Notice what’s missing. No chains stores. No drug addicts. It's just small towns built around family life. This is what a country looks like before it forgets God
