Your wife needs to respect you even when you suck. In a biblical marriage, spouses have responsibilities towards one another. And those responsibilities are not conventional bonuses when they perform well enough. It’s a straight command from God. It’s COMMANDED. Period. You do it not because your spouse deserves it everytime. You do it because god commands it. You love him? You follow his commandments. Respect here is not contingent on the husband being perfect, wise, successful, or even consistently godly in the moment. It flows from a wife’s reverence for the Lord and her willingness to obey His Word. Obedience isn’t reserved for easy days; it’s tested precisely when it’s hard. The apostle Peter reinforces this in 1 Peter 3:1-2: “Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.” The context explicitly includes husbands who are “disobedient to the word”—those who are failing spiritually, acting foolishly, or falling short. Even then, chaste and respectful behavior from the wife carries spiritual power. It models the gospel and can influence the husband toward change, not through nagging or criticism, but through lived-out reverence. Every husband will have days, seasons, or even prolonged periods where he “sucks”—where he makes poor decisions, falls short in leadership, struggles with sin, loses his temper, fails at provision, or simply acts immaturely. No man is Christ; every man is a sinner in need of grace (Romans 3:23). If respect were only given when he was at his best, marriage would collapse under the weight of human frailty. Culture often tells wives that respect must be earned every single day and that withholding it is justified when he’s not measuring up. Scripture flips this: “Let the wife see that she respects her husband.” It’s an active instruction—“see to it”—implying deliberate effort, even (especially) when feelings don’t align. Marriage isn’t a performance contract. It’s a covenant of obedience to a holy God who equips us by His Spirit to do what He commands. Respect isn’t optional when he deserves it. In a biblical marriage, it’s commanded—period. You do it not because your spouse earns it every time. You do it because you love God and keep His commandments.

@resisfertile all I can say is amen.

Young man, “Hey Steve, I wanted to talk with you. I really want to grow as a husband and father, do a better job leading my home, loving my wife, training up my kids, providing and more, can you help me?” Older man, “That is great to hear, we are just about to start our next round of men’s ministry, we meet one to two nights a week and lift together or train self-defense, you’ve met Steve who leads that… while memorizing some Scripture and working through the London Baptist Confession and generally just encouraging one another while knocking out some practical things we need to do as men...” YM, “Oh, that sounds like it would be awesome… I’ve gained some weight and could really use to exercise more… but we are so financially tight right now, and my wife seems so tired most of the time and we are both stressed out with having four under six... I really struggle with patience when I get home and the house is a wreck and we have had a number of fights lately…” OM, “Hmm… that’s understandable. I’m sure for both of you this is a challenging season. We only had three total, and it was really difficult at times. Also, didn’t you both come from smaller families, and your parents were divorced? I’m sure all that plays into What kind of practical help is Sarah getting during the day while you are at work from any family or friends… ” YM, “She’s not getting any really… and we have so many bills from the new baby, I have had to take overtime so I am gone even more leaving for work an extra hour or so early… groceries and other bills since the twins started eating solid food… OM, “I can’t imagine what it is like right now, with the economy the way it is, and then having more kids. Did your work insurance not adequately cover the birth? I know your son had a few unexpected issues and maybe a few days extra at the hospital? I will mention this to the deacons. Also, you know the older families have a help fund for younger families, and a few of the older ladies who enjoy thrifting keep a “family list” - you give them the ages and sizes of your kids and what clothes and any other things, and when they go thrifting a few times a month, they get items families in the church need. I will have my wife reach out to Sarah so you all can be added to the list…” YM… “Oh, wow… thank you. Yeah, we ended up having a lot more bills than we thought we would… I thought I had chosen the right insurance when I switched to this new job last year, but clearly I messed that up…” OM, “That isn’t surprising, it’s really confusing. . How about this, why don’t Jeff and I meet with you sometime that works and help you go over your finances, insurance and similar stuff. Also, while you are at work, are you free to talk on the phone at all? Maybe when you are driving from site to site? YM, “Yeah, I am… I have a few coworkers, but none of them are believers, and honestly, very few are even decent men at all… and I do… it’s not predictable, but I would love to be able to talk with an older fellow believer during the week.” OM, “ What is your number? We can text and when our schedules allow, talk some as we can. I am sure between commute and other breaks we can find a time here or there to catch up. When is the last time you and Sarah had a few hours together?” YM, “ I honestly can’t remember… probably before the baby…” OM, “well, we need to fix that. Why don’t I see when my daughter is free to come watch the kids for just an hour or two - so you two can have a few minutes together without the kids. Here is a gift card to use so you can eat at Jay’s - he’s the member of the church with a great place to grab a good bite to eat when you don’t have a lot of time…” YM… “You really don’t have to do that…” OM, “Oh, I wouldn’t have given an arm, but maybe a finger or two for a few minutes break from the kids for me and my wife when I was your age, we had quite a few fights just from always being in mom and dad mode and we had some help from our family who were close by… its a really small thing and we are very happy to be able to help.” YM…”Thank you…” OM, “We will talk soon. Make a list of some areas you want to talk about, and I’ll look forward to following up in the next few days. Appreciate you , Jack. Having you and Sarah as part of our church is a real blessing to many of us, and we know you all are in a challenging season. So let’s let others help as the Bible says and shows. And maybe once you all are a bit more caught up financially and family wise, you can come to the men’s gathering on occasion, when it is actually good for you and your home. Chin up, good day brother.”

@saylordocs I'm about a week in of no caffeine after a whole year of 15oz-20oz coffee every day. I upped my electrolytes and started taking magnesium citrate. I have more stable energy, less headaches, and can stay up later without drowsiness 🤷‍♂️.

Been totally off caffeine for over 2 weeks now Have noticed 0 positive benefits Fascinating Does it take longer or is this a scam

@jchasedavis as if I needed convincing to buy your book 🔥

"The Christian West will continue to wither if we do not raise up godly men to resist the tyrannical globalists intent on stealing our wealth, killing our children, and castrating our youth." - "Offensive Christianity," available for pre-order now**

@Yousavewithus #1 cope I've seen. Read the book. Then, agree/disagree. I feel bad for Stephen. It's like people are allergic to it, and reading and critical thinking in general.

MEET Stephen Wolfe Claim: “Christians should rule over non-Christians.” Translation: Equality was a mistake.

@thescottbarber 1. Yes they do, do the reading and listening. 2. It's a political movement focused at aiming political life toward Heaven for the good of people. Let the preachers preach the gospel as is their vital role in the church.

One thing you will never hear the Christian Nationalists talk about is the gospel.

@PerfInjust @elimcgowan @bingybongy89601 @DiP11s @douglaswils gotta be Luther 🇩🇪 a real one

I need to know what it means. So is this antisemitic? "The Jews, indeed, seize eagerly on such declarations, and already devour by covetousness the wealth of all the nations, as if they would one day possess it, and vaunt as if the glory of the whole world world become their own."

New today: Stephe Wolfe (@perfinjust) should explain why he thinks all the Reformers were “kinists, race/realists, and anti-semites” and that these are not damnable errors. And @douglaswils should explain again why he is publishing the face of Reformed white nationalism. (not my screenshot)

@WilliamWolfe That would require them to read the passages about husbands and wives out loud

I’d love to see a two-to-three day conference for Christian college students emphasizing their role and calling from God to do good for Christ’s Kingdom and their citizen neighbors right here in the United States of America. The global missions conferences (Passion, Cross Con) are fine at best. They’re usually a mix of good and bad (David Platt’s poverty gospel being a perfect example of the “bad”). But there’s plenty of them. Where’s the conference challenging the next generation of Christians to plant churches in the Rust Belt? To build businesses and make money to support local churches here in America? To consider running for office as a Christian legislator? To learn what the Bible has to say about being good husbands and wives, to raise generational families that bless and rebuild American communities? This is a dire need. If anyone wants to partner with me to pull one off, reach out!

@JoshuaTorrey these replies

ethnonationalism is a sin.

@treblewoe He probably differs slightly from you guys on biological stuff, as would I. But I think he is in the same sphere because Stone Choir fights the real enemy and isn't the real enemy. He probably recognizes that. You guys should talk 👀

@Tuorthetall he's not a bad guy but when he is dishonest and cowardly he does incalculable harm, because he is so well respected. everyone parrots his bullshit because it keeps them safe from the Truth. x.com/treblewoe/stat…

guys like this are so transparently stupid and dishonest that even people who buy the narrative are forced to start doing the math. the charade is over. history has moved on to the real never again.

@TattyBicho79 @nimgaladh when you 1v1'd Melkor you were so real for that

@nimgaladh Me!

Which chapter is your favorite in the Silmarillion?

@RealBenLuigi Just finished it recently, the man was 🎯

Patrick J. Buchanan identified the problem in 2002. Nobody listened.

@thescottbarber It's literally an interview

Can I point out that we predicted this was what Christian Nationalism would become.

@DDFStrand With almost no exception, each critique or slander I've heard against Wolfe wasn't accurate and/or wasn't engaging his actual arguments. Both on X and in person at church and church-related events. I don't get it.

There are two options here: you can call people names and say they are scary or you can engage them with seriousness and seek to persuade others that your position is stronger. Mark has chosen the latter as have many of the critics of so-called Christian nationalism.

@SBakerMD What are your thoughts on laborers/ people with very high TDEE? Are higher carbs more beneficial than carnivore or keto?

Carbohydrates are nonessential But depending on the person and the condition they may be either a net benefit or a net detriment

@adamkjohnston 😂

Little known fact: Thomas Jefferson stole the Declaration of Independence from the Iroquois, word for word, even though they didn’t have a written language.

@Optimum70601918 @lagracelaverite So a hostile culture is better? No one is saying it is "needed" for salvation. Christian culture is a collective reverence for the one true God, whether people are regenerate or not. We are reaping the benefits of the opposite.

@Tuorthetall @lagracelaverite Uhhh judging by the letters to Ephesus and Corinth I don't think Christianity needs to be the social norm for the Gospel to "easily" save sinners.

In just ten seconds, Christian Nationalist Pastor Andrew Isker essentially argues that culture is the primary causal force behind salvation, rather than God’s eternal decree. This places him outside Reformed theology. Isker implicitly denies: 1. God’s sovereignty in salvation. If salvation hinges on the presence of a Christian culture, then God is no longer the decisive cause of anyone’s salvation, culture is. 2. Unconditional election. He makes election effectively conditional upon cultural environment. 3. The effectual call. He treats the effectual call as fragile and dependent on cultural support, not as the irresistible work of the Spirit. 4. Christ’s ability to save “to the uttermost.” In his view: – Christ’s ability to save is weakened in secular environments. – Christ’s saving power is limited by man or culture. – External conditions (culture) overpower divine grace (election). This reduces Christ’s saving power from “uttermost” to situational. If secularism can “defeat” Christ’s saving work, then Christ does not save “to the uttermost.” And he replaces all of this with cultural determinism, in which culture determines or controls spiritual outcomes, including whether people are saved or lost.

@WallStreetMav anything NFL

Eating out at restaurants.

@ZachWLambert ok

I wish Christians in America would worry a lot less about our nation being Christian and a lot more about our actions being Christlike.
