Simply 'a woman who fears the Lord'

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. - Genesis 1:27 KJV  This morning, I came across this meme from a video posted by Donald Trump's Truth Social account last night. Shocking, isn't it? How can it be that a grown man would do something so outrageous and foolish? Has he lost his mind to dementia or is it just his hate-filled heart exposing itself? There are so many ways I can point out the depravity of the man now serving as President of the United States, but perhaps I should sadly point out the hypocrisy of the Christians who supported and still support such a man. You would have to be totally out of touch with reality to not have known that Donald Trump lacks basic human decency. There were certainly many red flags about his character when he ran for the presidency in 2016 , but this term he has completely revealed the type of person he is: mean, petty, vindictive, corrupt, and due to his past  friendship w...

President Donald Trump at the Greenville, NC July 17, 2019 Rally By Angela Wittman Perhaps I've been living in a cave this past week, but I heard little of an outcry from American Evangelicals over President Donald Trump taking the Lord's Name in vain during a political rally in North Carolina . Could it be they were drowned out by the political left's outrage over the crowd chanting "Send her back!" in reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota? Or is it something worse like apathy or indifference toward our holy God? Regardless of what led to some Christians silence on this matter, I think it would be wise for us to review what God and the historically respected Westminster Assembly   say on this serious matter of taking the Lord's name in vain. Exodus 20:7 (KJV) 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Deuteronomy 5:11 (KJV) 11 Thou shalt not take t...

By Angela Wittman Yesterday during the Michael Cohen testimony before the House Oversight Committee  a comment was made on Twitter by a Reformed Christian to the effect that voting for and supporting a man like Donald Trump, even though he has moral "failings" is taught to be ethical behavior by John Calvin and the Westminster Divines. The comment was not directed toward me, but as I'm reformed and have studied the WCF for over almost 2 decades, I asked where this was at so I could look it up myself. I was directed to my favorite chapter of the Westminster Confession of Faith, (XXIII), and specifically to section IV. Here is what Chapter XXIII, section IV of the Westminster Confession of Faith says regarding the Civil Magistrate: IV. It is the duty of people to pray for magistrates, [8] to honor their persons, [9] to pay them tribute or other dues, [10] to obey their lawful commands, and to be subject to their authority, for conscience' sake. [11] Infid...
