- The problem can be called by many names. The men of our generation have had a failure of nerve. They have abdicated their responsibilities, and we are consequently in the midst of a crisis of leadership. Men have fallen, to use the biblical term, into the sin of unbelief. God has always promised tremendous blessings for those who keep his covenant faithfully but, to be blunt, men no longer believe Him. We have fallen so far away from his Word that we no longer even know what a covenant is-still less the terms of His covenant with us and the nature of covenant reality around us.

When God judges a people he gives them wicked rulers, wicked people elect wicked rulers
We're all in the same bucket and it makes me sad.
God’s judgement usually takes the form of God just leaving us alone to reap the consequences of our own bad decisions. It’s a lot more educational, convincing, and efficient
@@WideMouth Apparently Doug is unaware that prior to 1980, the vast majority of Protestantism was pro-choice. It was only when Jerry Falwell and Paul Weyrich decided to make it a political issue, that it became one.

Every covenant home needs a head, "Let His kingdom come and His will be done,"
Modeling the fruit of the Spirit and walking in Divine Wisdom are two of the most important tasks men have within their families, church, and civil order.
Highly recommend studying through the Westminster Larger Catechism questions 123-133 on the fifth commandment to get a comprehensive survey on the duties and sins for covenant heads and their charges.
Full caffeine, fresh ground Christianity. Thank you. 👌
Besides the First Commandment and the 2nd which is like the 1st, this Masculinity Covenant concept is the most important… and we as a society have lost it. God help us! Great great video. Thank you
Of all my studying and listening to sermons, this video is what stacked all the pieces for me to realize how disordered America is in neglecting covenantal design. Wow.
I always look forward to Doug’s words of exhortation, grace and wisdom. This one however sounds great in theory but pretty hopeless in reality. I’m afraid we are sinking beneath the waves before this ship can get turned around. But, with God all things are possible.
”Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?“
Jonah 3:9
You said: "This one however sounds great in theory but pretty hopeless in reality". You are correct. And we are better off without Doug's notions.

Matthew 7:14
"...straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
Because people have not chosen love of Truth for their salvation, and the truth has not been modelled to them, they fall victim to subtle lies.
Each subtle lie grows up and over us like a great bow and they mesh together until they block the light of truth from shining through from above into our consciousness.
The result is we read certain scriptures and we can't see how they could possibly mean what they say, so because we are desperate for security and acceptance and love and respect, we go along with whatever our peer group claims to be the explanation for such scriptures so that we don't have to face our subversion and mal-socialisation.
We are up against the common mind-set, which is Satanic-Matriarchal-Feminist-Macho-Bullshit, - in that order.
We have to weed out one lie at a time and replace it with the best concept we can.
Eventually you come out from under the common mind-set and the scriptures become definitive and authoritative.
Then you're out on a limb because almost everyone is under the common mind-set to one degree or another.
We have to become real believers not just professing Christians under a mind-set.
May the LORD greatly bless Pastor Wilson, and may the Kingdom be grown through his ministry
You said: "May the LORD greatly bless Pastor Wilson, and may the Kingdom be grown through his ministry". I agree. Let Doug stay in his Idaho sheltered enclave. But as he seeks political powers, I will work against him at every step.
@@manager0175 why?
@@Theonly_Onyx Christian with political power has a very incompetent, sad, violent and destructive history. Take a look at the "European Wars of Religion" as a prime example. If you want more reasons, I can provide more.
Not only are we ruled by women and foreigners as a judgement, we (the entirety of Christendom 1.0) are being overrun by foreigners. Wut do?
Wow, misogyny, racism, and dis--information in one entry. Well done. I am sure Doug would be proud. Does Doug want to take away women's right to vote? I know Jarret does.

We need to remember the reason for a limited Federal government. Each State was supposed to be Governed as that State's people saw fit within the parameters of the Constitution, but each as its own, well, State.
In the US Constitution is the supremacy clause (Article VI, Paragraph 2..). Federal law supersedes state laws and state constitutions. You talk of "limited government". There is nothing more intrusive than governmental powers deciding what medical decisions can be made by women and their doctors.
As the government should when the subject is baby murder.
God bless you pastor Doug for this message. you made a confusion of texts Malachi 2:14-15 instead of Malachi 3:14-15. Greetings from Cameroon.
It is such a blessing to listen. May God have mercy on your country. It is so sad what is happening to your country.
If we return to covenant thinking, women families, and communities would all be protected. The pervasive concept of individualism has separated (and deceived us). Not that we should think like collectivist (i.e. communist) but we should think of our family as a unit independent from other families, community, and society. No different than a child leaving his parents for independence. That naturally requires order, discipline, and heirarchy (which is really maturity) of which covenant thinking supplies.
You said: "If we return to covenant thinking.." Covenant thinking? I really do not care how you think. I care about what you do. And if history is an indication of what "covenant thinking" does, we only need to refer to the European Wars of Religion. Millions upon millions of Christians killing each other for centuries.
Exactly 👍
This was phenomenal
Rom 8 submit to the higher powers, they are put there by God
Romans 13, not 8.
Thanks, my bad
Excellent
I’m sorry, I don’t know how
This sums up where we’re at today. The knowledge of how to actually do this hasn’t been passed down for a few generations. I think Doug and his friends do more than others to explain it out, but I also feel a long way off from the ideal
@@johnbillings2283 You said: "The knowledge of how to actually do this hasn’t been passed down for a few generations.". It all started with WWI. Everything we are dealing with today started then. As one big example: The Sykes Pecot Agreement (and Balfor Declaration) is what started the problems in the Middle East that continue today.
You had me at the first sentence.
Hear! Hear!
So should churches that take a vote of their members in congregational meetings take a vote of the household or the individual members? It seems to me it should be per household.
A boost for D Dub
So, who represented Dorcas in Acts 9 or Lydia in Acts 16?
Widows became heads of households in such cases where they were confirmed as widows (see Paul's unpacking of this in 1 Timothy 5:9-16) They would be exceptions to the rule, not norms.
@@AndrewAdcock
Yes, widows became heads of their households in lieu of a husband. Wilson is talking about representation in a congregational setting ( ie church or state relations ).
In this case who represents their house in the assemblies?
@@BossBattle21 in the church, Pastor/Elders represent her household. In the State, the elected officials - all of which would be men who are heads of their own households. Their Fatherhood should produce a connection with the widows in the meaningful way that they seek the same ends - i.e. the promotion of the family and its well being.
@@AndrewAdcock
Ok, with the state representation. Obviously it doesn't matter if it's widows or full families we have representatives fulfilling their duty for a large number of families. With the church though, depending on how the congregation is governed, putting all of the widows and their families under the authority of an elder (or possibly deacon) effectively disenfranchises those families from any kind of independent opinion.
Maybe the problem is thinking that families should be imposing “independent opinion” on the church…

He knows the word covenant but demonstrates no knowledge of the new covenant. Instead, he distorts the gospel of Grace and teaches Bill Gotthard's doctrine rather than the Apostles' teaching.
This is the old covenant pattern that is at the heart of the Moscow Project.
Nailed it!
What in the world? Are you saying women shouldn't have the right to vote?
Yes, that is the implication of his Patriarchialism.
Excelent! Spot on argument, well, everything except the first part about the Covenant at creation. The Bible nowhere mentions the Covenants of Works and Grace. Hosea 6:7 read in its proper Hebrew context is a very geographic passage talking about the city of Adam, it even has the Hebrew word שם which literally means "there", so it's not talking about Adam the person. Also Paul explicitly puts the New Covenant against Sinai and Jeremiah tells us that the New Covenant is unlike the Old, so they can't be part of the same covenant of grace. As for everything else, amen and amen.
That view of Hosea 6:7 seems to be the minority view.
The MT reads כְּאָדָם (keʾadam, “like Adam” or “as [sinful] men”); however, the editors of BHS suggest this reflects an orthographic confusion of בְּאָדָם (beʾadam, “at Adam”), as suggested by the locative adverb שָׁם (sham, “there”) in the following line. However, שָׁם sometimes functions in a nonlocative sense similar to the deictic particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “Behold!”). The singular noun אָדָם (ʾadam) has been taken in several different ways: (1) proper name: “like Adam” (כְּאָדָם), (2) collective singular: “like [sinful] men” (כְּאָדָם), and (3) proper location: “at Adam,” referring to a city in the Jordan Valley (Josh 3:16), emending comparative כְּ (kaf) to locative בְּ (bet, “at”): “at Adam” (בְּאָדָם). BDB 9 s.v. אָדָם 2 suggests the collective sense, referring to sinful men (Num 5:6; 1 Kgs 8:46; 2 Chr 6:36; Jer 10:14; Job 31:33; Hos 6:7). The English versions are divided: KJV margin, ASV, RSV margin, NASB, NIV, TEV margin, NLT “like Adam”; RSV, NRSV, TEV “at Adam”; and KJV “like men.”
So, you have to change the text of Scripture to get LOCATION. - I'd be interested in reading what the LXX says though.
Okay, interesting, the LXX translates as "they are as a (sinful) man" - not locative.
αὐτοὶ δέ εἰσιν ὡς ἄνθρωπος παραβαίνων διαθήκην ἐκεῖ κατεφρόνησέν μου
@@AndrewAdcock you are absolutely right right sir. It is the minority view. Most reformed folk today are covenantalist, and thus I reflects that very few would argue for my position, however if you look at the passage carefully, you'd see that two other geographical places (a city and region) are named and the city of Adam was right in the middle of both. You couldn't get from one to the other without crossing the city of Adam. As for the Masoteric text, I am of the thought that the dead sea scrolls (which support my position) are far more reliable, ancient and faithful to the original text, but again that's also a minority position.
Robert Morris is gone; how long does Doug have left before his downfall?
No connection whatsoever. Morris was vv o k e

Don't believe all the lies.

All of those things died off with WWI, and were completely destroyed by 1925. They will never return. And we are better off without them.
