In [last week’s] text, we saw the glorious transformation, the fruit of the people’s repentance and faith in God expressed in Ezra 5:2- “Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak arose and began to rebuild the house of God that is in Jerusalem, and the prophets of God were with them, supporting them” (Ezra 5:2). This spirit of confidence and unification, between Israel’s prophets, priests, and civil leaders is what pervades the rest of chapter 5 through the conclusion of Ezra chapter 6. We would be remiss if we failed to recognize that this reality of a unified prophet, priest, and king (if you will) foreshadowed a day in which these offices would be unified in a singular person: namely, the Lord Jesus Christ. Such a reality is truly glorious and awe-inspiring, and it would be impossible to deny the working of God’s Spirit on the hearts of his people, leading them back to faithful obedience and action.

The discussion critiques John MacArthur and Owen Strachan's views on Christian nationalism. They argue that Jesus' kingship extends beyond the spiritual realm, claiming that His authority encompasses all of creation. The hosts unpack the concept of the kingdom of God as present in the world, not just waiting for an afterlife. They advocate for a proactive Christian influence in society, emphasizing the importance of law and institutions while acknowledging the complexities of suffering and progress in faith.

Israel had two faithful ministers, Haggai and Zechariah, who encouraged the people to start building the temple again. These two men began to prophesy for God during the reign of Darius. The kingdom of God is built by prophecy – by hearing the Word of the Lord and responding in obedience. When God sends prophets among his people, we should not assume that it is for the purpose of judgment but for blessing. Israel also had two faithful magistrates, Zerubbabel (their chief prince) and Jeshua (their chief priest), who immediately took the lead in the work. These great men were not insulted or offended by the commands of the prophets. Instead, with humility and joy, they led the people in obedience by example.

"It is simply not enough to keep your kids from watching movies or having access to the internet when they are in your home. No matter what you do, the magical, dark liturgy that runs 24 7 will still be out there. But teaching your children to hate it is far more important than keeping it hidden away from them. And you must raise them among others who understand the same. The network of friends and family you interact with regularly is the soil your children are growing up in. If they are alone and isolated, if the only friends they have are entranced with Trash World, no matter how much effort you expend homeschooling and keeping evil things from their eyes, they will be vulnerable. More than anything, you and your wife and your children need friends who love what you love and hate what you hate."

The topic of modesty, especially in women's dress, is highly contentious. Suggestions from men in particular that certain attire may conflict with scriptural mandates often provokes accusations of legalism and misogyny. Then, others who understand scripture's clear instructions on modesty but hesitate to apply them will attempt to equivocate and apply these guidelines universally by treating the temptation of immodesty as equally prevalent among both men and women. But overlooking the significance of modesty or attempting to dilute its application to a generic androgynous command is not appropriate for the Christian. It is crucial for Christian leaders, and particularly husbands, fathers, and pastors, to articulate God’s intentions for men, women, and human sexuality with clarity and precision. The issue is greater than simply private sins or indiscretion at the level of the heart. As commitment to God’s standards wanes, history shows that societies perish under the weight of their own indulgence, lack of self-control, and permissiveness. Tune in now as we discuss modesty and why it matters.

This week saw a controversy erupt over the temptations that women face as some speakers sounded an alarm about the hidden dangers of the ‘Trad-Wife’ movement. Is ‘Trad-Wife’ something that conservative Christians need to warn against at this time? No, for there are forces that are targeting women that threaten to destroy not only women, but all of society. One such danger is the allure of witchcraft and the occult. In the last few decades, these practices have risen dramatically so that a majority of Americans, and of Christians, now believe and affirm pagan practices. God hates witchcraft, not homemaking. And women left and right are being lured into witchcraft as they recite mantras, buy crystals, and try to manifest a more positive reality. This week we dive into the dangers of modern witchcraft and ask the question, “What’s more dangerous, a lizard or a crocodile?” In this episode of Theology Applied, the co-hosts of Backwoods Belief join the show to discuss the hatred of Evangelical elites towards the average Christian in the pew.
