Out of the 3 sovereign spheres (Home, Church, & State), none has been tyrannized more than the Home. The State’s tyranny has been obvious over the past couple of years, but the Church in America has been subtly tyrannizing families (especially fathers) for decades. Here’s how…

Happy New Year ! 2023
Programs ≠ fellowship or living life together.
when at the pandemic peak ….I was chased down by some women at the supermarkets…given glaring looks..etc…oh my goodness
Would love to see worship leaders pivot to actively teaching music to the congregation (perhaps a Sunday School), so everyone knows their part, and singing can be congregational and not performative for a select few on a stage.
A-millennialism – “Already but not really”. Clever. But actually, it is the spiritual that is real and eternal. The flesh, the world, is what is temporary and passing away. The problem with pre-mill and post-mill positions is probably that they fail to recognize this and so try to make the world that is passing away eternal and enduring while dismissing the spiritual as “symbol” or “mere idea”. But one day, when God is all in all and the Spirit totally fills the whole of this world then this world will be “real” and enduring.
Perhaps both are extremes: 'one service a week' vs. 'too many services a week.' I have seen both, and it seems to have a lot to do with the size of the church and the availability/willingness of the pastoral staff.
I am not a fan of the 'gas station' approach where we show up on Sunday and 'fill her up' for the rest of the week. PCA folk pile too much importance on Sundays to the neglect of the rest of the week, IMO. Where is it written that corporate worship is limited to Sundays? This assumes that there is no benefit to gathering, as a body, during the rest of the week. Will every single member show up? No, but who cares? Some will.
What are the pastors/elders so busy doing that they can't conduct a prayer meeting, song service, Bible study, or general fellowship? What are the congregants so busy doing that they can't attend a midweek service(s)?
I propose that claiming to be 'busy' is usually an excuse for being lazy/uncommitted and not actually inability to attend. This includes pastors and elders.
I believe Jesus told a parable about people who claimed to be 'too busy.'
Call it what you want; we need a revolution, revival and/or a so-called 'reality check'… we are simply in a fight of good vs. evil & tyrannical measures are 100% evil. Government doctrine over Church doctrine… the government as well most Americans are not believers so shutting churches down was not an issue!
Interesting analogy with the puppy, Isaiah 3 says we will know we are under judgement when we are led by women and children. I take this to include weak and immature "men".
I also think we need to start talking about the sabbath (day of rest), has it been abolished?
We talk about "the lords day" (or I prefer "the day of the lord"), but we don't treat it as a day of rest and I am not positive it is supposed to replace the Sabbath anyway.
