Secular activism has become a penance system, and holiness has become another word for public grief.

Jared Longshore: "The topic of just war illuminates; it is a great opener of eyes. Perhaps no other subject compels men to take out their flashlights and examine the matter, only to have the matter shine its light back at them. It shows them who they truly are. Put another way, you cannot so much put your finger on a just war as a just war can put its finger on you. A modern man studies the subject to discover that he is a man who doesn’t look up. He is comfortable on the horizontal line. But the vertical axis is a dark and tangled wood. I discovered this some years ago when preparing and delivering a just war address in Washington, D.C. I was one of three panelists, one of the other men being a senator, the other a professor. You have no doubt been sitting in a room, observing the elephant in the corner, his trunk displacing all of the champagne glasses and redistributing them onto the floor. No matter the disruption, the inhabitants ignore the elephant. This was the sentiment of the room in Washington during our proceedings. I was the last man to deliver his address, so I took the opportunity to acknowledge the elephant. And as often happens, the room came alive. There is great interest in elephants—fascinating creatures..." - @JaredLongshore Read the rest ⬇️

We have a truth problem. Call it a problem of epistemology—we don’t even know how to know anything. This is the rotten fruit of a totalizing, unyielding, and universal relativism. For years, people in the West have been told that “there is no truth” because truth is relative to the individual. Each person needs to find and determine his own truth. In such a world, anything goes. Sure, for a while the specter of our Christian heritage prevented everything from descending into pure absurdities, but no more. Today, we are witnessing the necessary and inevitable fruit of a rabid secularism and postmodernism as society spirals into the theatre of the absurd. Christians are the people of the truth because they know the very embodiment of truth (John 14:6; 1 Tim 3:15). In other words, Christians are to have nothing to do with telling, believing, or retweeting lies (Exo 20:16; Lev 19:11; Pro 6:16-19; Col 3:9). The law of God is clear, lying is not befitting of his people. Whether these lies come from MSNBC or the dark recesses of the internet, Christians must reject them all. Truth is our goal and agenda, but in relativistic society, it is getting harder to tell what is true. The pervasiveness of lies, especially those labelled as “conspiracy theories” have generated many discussions among Christians leaders. Sometimes, their concerns mirror those found in the mainstream media. Thus, truth will be advanced by preventing “misinformation” and “conspiracy theories” found online. Such a tactic doesn’t even come close to addressing the heart of the issue... - Levi Secord Read the rest ⬇️

Growing up in charismatic soil, planted later in Reformed Baptist theology, finally rooted in Presbyterian convictions, I have drunk deeply from many on the topic of the Holiness of God. Throughout my Christian life, this has been a true blessing. It is something I cannot repay. But something has shifted over the last twenty years and even longer. All the talk about biblical holiness has lifted off of earth. Holiness once meant God's character breaking into time and space. The holiness of God created the world, the planets, the people, the garden. It was holiness that cast Adam out when he sinned, holiness that brought the law, holiness that punished transgression. It was the righteous and holy work of Christ that restored what holiness had judged. Throughout Scripture, God's holiness doesn't hover above the world in clouds. It touches down and it works and transforms what it touches. The holiness of God has roots in the everyday functioning of human lives. In the mundane. We have spiritualized it now...holiness is something that happens in your mind, or internally, some private touching of the soul with Jesus and you, your interior life becomes more ordered, but that righteousness stops at your own skin. It doesn't go further. It doesn't transform a city block, a city council, a state, a nation. At best, it might reform your family a little. We have created a strange separation, holiness for the soul, secularism for the world. Somehow teaching on holiness has become so inward turned that we have left Christian reality vacant on the ground. And into that vacancy, secularism has poured in. Into that same vacancy, radical movements liberal and conservative, have tried to fill the gap doing practical work without holiness behind it, and therefore doing nothing but having a tug of war over power. We rejected the old holiness teaching because it felt incomplete. And it was...So we decided to act instead. Practical work. Kingdom work. Good work. But work without the blessings of God becomes frantic activity without power. You cannot bless what you have not sanctified. You cannot transform culture being separated from the very thing that has the power to transform it. Nehemiah. Before he built the wall, he prayed. For months. When prayer was finished and he began the wall rose in 52 days. The prayer came first. The power came first. The holiness came first. Then the work moved with the weight of heaven behind it. Don't hear me say the answer is to choose between holiness and action. The answer is to see that holiness *is* the action. And having the holiness of God touchdown transforms everything! That seeking God's character first makes everything that follows move with the speed and weight of eternity. That said...Our new doc from @CrossPolitic Holy War
