Double Imputation and Purity Culture

 




Today I will do something different. None of my thoughts. I just want to share this podcast with you all. 

The Active Obedience of Christ— White Horse Inn

“Most Christians know about the forgiveness of sins, but not the doctrine of active obedience. But how do we become righteous if not through imputation? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland explain what is meant by the active obedience of Christ and why there’s no hope without it.” 

In this podcast, Michael, Bob, Justin, and Walter even talk about the rose illustration and purity culture (while not using that term) and why understanding the active obedience of Christ, Christ for you, and double imputation matters so much for those who feel they have been damaged or broken beyond repair. 

This was such a blessing to me and I pray it blesses you as well. 

I think every Christian should subscribe to this podcast ☺️

The Barbie Movie and My Identity Crisis

Image
 I just finished watching the Barbie movie for the second time. This is not a review as there have been many others who have done fantastic jobs of it and I don’t feel the need to add my voice into the discussion. However, there were many scenes and themes that I related to very deeply in the movie. I genuinely loved the movie and while it is meant to be satirical, it is very poignant and deep with many scenes that hit you between the eyes with truths that are just beginning to be said aloud, such as the famous “ Gloria’s speech ” scene. But one scene that I deeply relate to is near the end when Barbie and Ken are in Barbie’s dream house discussing Ken’s identity apart from Barbie.  Ken says to Barbie, “I just don’t know who I am without you.”   Barbie responds “You’re Ken!”  “But it’s Barbie and Ken” , he replies. “There is no just Ken. That’s why I was created. I only exist within the warmth of your gaze. Without it, I’m just a little blonde guy who can’t do flips.”    Barbie repl

Part 1: Control and Entitlement- Harmful Evangelical Materials

Image
  Diane Langberg says    in Redeeming Power: “Abuse of power is a cancer in the body of Christ. How Christendom uses terminology regarding gender is sometimes an aspect of the disease. We need to let the light of a holy God expose us and our systems. A man named Jesus had nothing to do with these ways. He used his power without abuse, coercion, or complicity. A male named Jesus interacted with all kinds of women and protected, blessed, healed, encouraged, and lifted them up. He never told them to submit to evil or wrongdoing. He didn't silence them. Much of masculinity in Christendom looks nothing like Jesus. It has been contaminated by secular culture and sanctioned using theological terms. Any theology that does not produce the fruit of Jesus is false. We are doing great damage to countless vulnerable people and to God's church because people destroyed by abuse perpetrated by the powerful cannot use the fullness of their God-given gifts to bless his body. Those perpetrating t

A Tribute To A Man I Never Met

Image
  We do not grieve as those who have no hope. We encourage one another with these words. (1Thess. 4:13-18)   I am currently watching so many collectively mourn the death of a man they never met, yet who greatly impacted their lives for the better. I am one of those people.  How is it possible to so acutely feel a loss that isn’t “close to home”, the loss of someone whose face I have never seen (aside from a picture) but only heard his voice and seen his words typed out? I have been crying on and off since I found out, and I anticipate that will not stop soon. The world is darker because he is gone.  And that proves that he was a bright light, not only in my life but I know in countless other’s lives as well. The world desperately needed his gentleness, his compassion, his love for people, for truth, and for Jesus. He was a balm to the soul and an oasis for many, myself included.  He helped me to see that not all pastors are the same. That not all men are the same. Social media is a ces
