Lordship and Moscow Mood | Jared Longshore and Joe Rigney 

If only St. Paul or any one of the Apostles could have come up with that bon mot. Think how the world would have stood up and taken notice.

@@RecalledtoLife ...thanks? I'll note that one my favorites tho. is, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." :)

...yeah, pretty sure the pharisees would've labeled Jesus as "brash, childish and disrespectful... 🤔

You must be thinking of the other way around 😃👍. Grace to you!

@@thegospellibertypodcast9481 Grace to you as well ...they also might have thought He was a "white washed tomb."

@@thegospellibertypodcast9481 Christ was very often brash, sin does not deserve respect, and the charge of childishness is usually leveled by those pseudo-Reformed modern evangelicals who are very concerned about being liked and accepted by goats and worldlings and have never read Luther, Calvin, Brooks, or Rutherford when engaging their enemies.

​@@matthewdyer2926Christ was not brash/rude (1 Cor 13:5). Christ's wise, strong, tactful, and true words to the Pharisees do not give Christians license to "let loose" to all with their tongues. There is a difference between idolatrous people pleasing and being respectful to others as human beings. We must have a healthy and biblical concern about how truths are being communicated (Rom 12:17; 2 Cor 8:21; 1 Cor 10:33; 2 Tim 2:25; Titus 3:2; Titus 2:8; 1 Pet 3:15; Prov 15:23; Prov 16:21; Prov 25:11, Col 4:5-6, etc.). Outside of the very small Moscow bubble, both historically and currently, there is a myriad of us Postmillennial, Kuyperian, General Equity Theonomy, confessionally Reformed Christians who have indeed read and deeply respect the old Reformers you reference, and share the same sadness as Kevin DeYoung regarding the tone of much of the Moscow crew's online ministry. I know it is often dismissed by this crew as people who "just don't share our core doctrine", or aren't familiar with or committed to historic Reformed Theology, but once one steps outside of the small Moscow bubble (I recognize it is hard for many to do!), he will find that critique unpersuasive. God bless you!
