Trendy clothing is one thing, but modesty is as much as we can do to reflect our respect (personally).
Our blue state governor just pitched a message that businesses should relocate here from places like Texas because he will guarantee that here their employees can always get an abortion. How sick is that? The Adversary has upside down virtues.
Im just waiting for the secular death cult of the left to admit what they are. Already in Canada for example their VA is offering MAID (medical assistance in dying) to vets and supposedly expanding it to make it more accessible to TEENAGERS. There’s a kind of wickedness in that and in the worship of abortion that runs even deeper than fornication and sexual degeneracy. Something that hates human life. Something so absolutely demonic.
Been there for 2 years! Sooooo COLD on winter. Snow was So high had to walk onto the roof To shovel off the fresh wet Snow so roof would not collapse. Had to leave kitchen cabinet Doors open so pipes would not see. Need snow mobile and 4wd. City with a smile! Was -50F to Me that's cold!!!!! SUMMERS WERE THE BEST!
Ngl about a year or two ago I started to want to move out North and West to a smaller town or city (DFW is too big for my tastes) and Moscow is pretty tempting. The idea of not just forging my own path, with God going ahead and I following, but of specifically venturing out to somewhere where I can be a part of something important just by being a Godly man and being present and willing to pitch in wherever I’m needed. Somewhere where I can be a part of something like Moscow. Not to mention somewhere with actual potential to find a good wife. Where im at now all the girls and guys are egalitarian “conservative” Christians who believe in 50-50 marriages and are left-of-center. I’m a staunch right wing traditional, biblical conservative. And I am not happy with the evanjelly energy I get from the young adults group at my church. I don’t hold it against them. And as far as doctrines such as orthodox reformed theology goes in a number of important areas such as salvation they’re solid. The older members and my pastor are decently solid too. Im gonna be honest, that’s incredibly appealing to me. Before I was thinking about South Dakota or Wyoming. I suppose it’s worth praying about. Although I don’t know how well I’d fit in because I’m a machinist/operator by trade. Blue-collar. I don’t know how well I’d fit in when a bunch of my peers in my age group are probably white collars, going to university and whatnot. Again I guess it’s something to pray about.
Thank you for this lovely sermon. I always enjoy listening to whatever you have to say Mr. Wilson. Do you have any advice for us North of the boarder. What are your thoughts on illegal immigrants fleeing a sort of persecution. With v@x passports being almost forced onto us. When is the time to flee if there is a time to flee? Weather legal or illegal. Our Premier of Alberta has announced that this is now the pandemic of the un-v@xd. I fear what the punishment will be for those who can not in good conscious receive the jab. Any advice or encouragement?
Extremely extremely liberal here and a major cultural battle that is getting worse not better, the reality is so much more complex than the idea of a nice church community.
@@johnbrunsfeld7779 It’s where the fight is isn’t it? A spiritual one? Where else better for a Christian to be than with a large community of believers in hostile territory, being salt and light to the darkness around them and perhaps even receiving the honor of suffering for Christ’s name?
When the price of a round of golf includes not only the exorbitant greens fees, but also acquiring a "golf skills certificate," you become rudely awakened to the fact that any similarities between the two cultures are only two weeks' deep.
If you are willing to move to Moscow, you first need to become Orthodox. You know, you don't want to steal the sheep of some valid bishop, therefore breaking the old canons of Nicaeae.
Wouldn't mind living in Idaho. Lots of freedom lovers there. Are there any good Calvinst credo Baptist, non Federal vision, non-theonomists, churches in the area?
"Kirk" is just the Scottish word for church. We use it for our website (christkirk.com) and online accounts since there are many churches called "Christ Church."
Bless this man Lord and give him strength and wisdom and thank you for his saltiness and his earthy humour.
Great sermon even for someone not moving to Moscow.

This Douglas guy believes slavery was benevolent. Women in the Christ Church cult reported abuse from the Pastor and his team.

Glad I watched the sermon; otherwise, I would've found myself in Moscow, Ohio asking folk, "Can you tell me if y'all seen Doug Wilson around here?"
Better than Moscow, Russia!
These are needful wise guidelines for new arrivals and those welcoming them in any location. Excellent sermon.
Really enjoyed this sermon!
I WISH my family and I could move to Moscow, Idaho!
No you don't. Moscow is the liberal stain on the Idaho Panhandle. Don't do it.

I’d like to move to any church where the pastor wears a coat and tie. Yes, it does matter. It’s an outward manifestation of an inward attitude.

Yup!

Is Christ Kirk different than Christ Church?
"Kirk" is just the Scottish word for church. We use it for our website (christkirk.com) and online accounts since there are many churches called "Christ Church."
They have multiple, coEqual elders (presbueroi)? I Tim 3
Yes.
The problem is every one goes to Moscow. We trying but every boðÿ moved to Moscow
So. Hows it doing these days?
Busy.
If you're thinking of moving to Moscow, Idaho: Don't.
Real Moscow is very dark and wicked place indeed.
As are most "churches".
Did he move away from The U.S
No, we're located in Moscow, ID.
@@ChristKirk lol. Sorry. I did look it up. Would love to move there. Looks like a beautiful city
We don’t want anything to do with anyone that likes Christ church, if you like Christ church and Doug Wilson, stay away from our city
May the Lord bless you!
