Today we welcomed miss Valerie Zara! Mama and baby are doing great!
You too can make a Christian baby in the year of our Lord, 2026!
John Flavelās āKeeping the Heartā is short and wonderful.
About a 3.5 hour listen at 1x speed.
My first time reading it was in my 20s I did not appreciate it sufficiently.
it is a beautiful model of godly counsel expressed concisely.
Heavenly truth available to earthly saints. š§µ
Main text:
Proverbs 4:23: "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."
Doctrine:
Keeping and rightly managing the heart in every condition is one great business of a Christian's life.
Pay attention to this.

Yes. We are men of unclean lips living amongst a generation with unclean lips.
The temptation to complain and whine is strong.
God forgives us for our complaining and whining in Jesus.
Letās go and do what needs to be done.
By the grace of God, we will overcome the world.
Millennials: You are the most soft-handed, therapy-obsessed, grievance-collecting generation in American history.
You analyze your childhood traumas while the enemy is actively dispossessing your bloodline.
You arenāt āhealingā; youāre stagnating.
Stop the navel-gazing and look at the horizon.
Your children are going to be living in the mess you were too busy whining to fix.
Amazon shuts off @ARBodyArmor on Amazon over and over again and wont let us sell armor or carries .
They let our Chinese competitors go free for long stretches on carriers.
Getting a lot of push back on this.
But it is. The Bible is the Word of God. Scripture is the mind of Christ revealed to us.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.
All Scripture is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
Scripture is sufficient to teach the man of God to be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
God demands the death penalty in all nations for murderers.

From what I can tell, Voetiusās view of Sabbath practice was as strict as the Westminster/Puritan view.
This doesnāt mean all the continental Reformed were this strict, but it does show that the Westminster view was present among the Dutch Reformed.
The error is legion. Root errors:
Are covenants binding across generations?
Is the old covenant a covenant of works or grace?
Is the old covenant religious community a church underage?
In the Old Cov church membership were children members?

Yes - discipleship involves the training in law, gospel, and skills.
Disciple Christians that are in your local network in all three.
You feel virtuous funding missionaries abroad while ignoring the men in your church who need you to teach them plumbing, electrical, or accounting.
Missions is not just preaching across oceans. It is passing skills across generations. Turn your business into a discipleship factory. Train a successor. Apprentice a brother. That is kingdom work as much as any crusade in a distant land.
