Ryle's writings.

He advocates for a return to foundational practices that promote holiness and responsible manhood, echoing Ryle's call for men to engage in the ongoing battle for righteousness.

Does a college degree guarantee a job? In this episode, Robert talks with Dr. Benjamin Merkle, president of New Saint Andrews College, a classical Christian college in Idaho. In their conversation, Ben speaks to why NSA and other colleges are looking for students with a classical education background, how NSA is able to keep their tuition costs affordable and transparent, how a college can keep a good reputation amidst the current college climate, why liberal arts degrees can be kept affordable, what parents need to know before sending their children to secular universities, what students should aim to get out of a Christian college experience, and why college isn't always the ticket to getting a good job. Robert and Ben also discuss our society's backward prioritization of college athletics over college academics and whether there is a place for sports in a higher-education setting. Finally, Ben answers why NSA and other colleges are refusing to accept federal grants, his best advice for Classical Conversations® Challenge graduates, and what the most in-demand skill is for students entering the workforce.  Show notes: RefiningRhetoric.com/Ben-Merkle You're invited to our 2024 National Events Weekend in sunny Southern Pines, North Carolina!

The end of year school prize giving is known to send a shiver up the spine of a few parents. A couple of bum numbing hours...waiting if you are lucky to clap your child onto stage, full of pride and anticipation. The reward outside of basking briefly in greatness by association.. is usually a pretty solid group performance of some sort. But this year's big number at the St Andrews College prize giving was an absolute show stopper ...120 singers and musicians on stage.. absolutely bringing the house house down... you might recognise the tune.. And the lead singer there was Year 13 student Grace Burnett, lead guitarist Mia Fraser, also a Year 13 student. The acoustic guitarist was year 12 student James McIver Joining us now us St Andrews college Head of Music, Duncan Ferguson and guitarist James McIver [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6342318860112

Dr. Jared Longshore is the associate pastor at Christ Church in Moscow Idaho, a fellow of Theology at New St. Andrews College, and the author of “The Case for the Christian Family.” I owe him a debt of gratitude. Because his new book is the introduction to the heart of paedo-baptism that I needed. As I break from generations of Spencer family tradition, I'm asking how the story of redemptive history relates to me, to my kids, to their kids, and to households, communities, churches, and the nation. "The Case for the Christian Family" helped me see that vision.

Gary Cooke visits Peter O Reilly in his Dublin home to look back on his International Cricketing Career and his time in the professional game. Peter was educated in the city at Belvedere College and at aged 18, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Edinburgh in 1982. Peter spent 1983 and 1984 in England playing for Warwickshire Second XI, but was unable to force his way into the first eleven. He made a second first-class appearance for Ireland in 1984 against Scotland at Glasgow. A fast bowler, O'Reilly took 5 wickets across his two first-class matches, at an average of 16.20, with best figures of 3/43. After two seasons in England, Peter returned to Ireland to study art and history at University College Dublin. After graduating, he taught history at St. Andrew's College, Dublin. Peter briefly returned to the Irish side in 1990, playing minor matches against the touring New Zealanders, as well as touring Zimbabwe. Following the death of The Irish Times cricket correspondent Sean Pender, Peter left his teaching job to fill the vacant cricket correspondent job at the newspaper. Peter became their rugby correspondent in 1995, a position he also held at various times with the Sunday Tribune and the Irish Independent. He is the current Irish rugby correspondent for The Sunday Times. Peter has written books on Irish rugby, including the acclaimed Ireland and the Triple Crown, The Full Bag of Chips, released in 2004. His daughter, Lucy O'Reilly, was selected to play for the Irish women's cricket team in her early teens.

This is Episode 43 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog sponsored by Kepler Education. In this episode, Brent Pinkall, a lecturer in rhetoric at New St. Andrews College and author of the new book, Redeeming the Six Arts: A Christian Approach to Chinese Classical Education joins Scott Postma to talk about the characteristics of the six classical Chinese arts and how they relate to the Western liberal arts.  Brent argues that classical Christian education is not fundamentally a canon of fixed texts or subjects but rather an approach rooted in the Fifth Commandment: Honor thy father and thy mother. Insofar as our ancestors differ, the languages, literature, and arts we study will also differ. Although Chinese Christians share the same "spiritual" fathers as their Western counterparts, their "earthly" fathers are different, and therefore their curriculum must reflect not only a shared "Christian" heritage but also a unique "classical" heritage.

Dr. Ben Merkle is the President of New St. Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho. If we're going to fight the culture war at the highest level, we need higher education. Following decades of the Marxist “Long March Through the Institutions,” America has an uphill battle to reclaim our colleges and universities. But in Idaho a small school named New St. Andrews (NSA) is leading the charge against our broken higher education system. And the leader of New St. Andrews is Dr. Ben Merkle. NSA's website reads, “Graduating leaders who shape culture living faithfully under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.” As you'll hear, everything New St. Andrews does is in service of this simple mission, which has taken shape under Ben's leadership. And not a moment too soon. In our conversation we discussed: The origins of New St. Andrews in the vision of Pastor Doug Wilson "The COVID Moment” Ben's path to leadership The NSA curriculum and mode of student life The Biden loan forgiveness program Postmillennialism and institutions Why Women should go to college Ben's vision for the future of NSA WATCH THIS VIDEO AND CLIPS ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/5Z4Mdq9EiBc https://www.youtube.com/c/TheRenaissanceOfMen MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST "Big Ed" Ad The Lost Tools of Learning "Eve In Exile" Book and Documentary REWIRE THE WEST + CULTISH + REFORMCON Rewire the West Playlist Cultish - Episode 1 ReformCon.org SPONSOR: The Renaissance of Men Coaching and Group If you feel a call unheeded in your life, I understand.

Graduating leaders who shape culture living faithfully under the Lordship of Jesus Christ is the mission statement of New Saint Andrews College. President Ben Merkle, reminds us that our child’s soul is at stake and choosing a Biblically-based college instead of a secular institution, is critical. At New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho, students are equipped with a particular set of intellectual skills that give them a foundation rooted in God’s Word. Ben reveals that colleges today - even Christian colleges - are compromised because they take federal funding, which his college refuses to receive. This school also offers financial freedom from heavy student debt, intellectual freedom to assess and debate ideas, and the freedom of faith found in Jesus Christ for every single student.

This is Toby Sumpter with your CrossPolitic News Brief for Monday, January 6th, 2020. That Star Wars Lesbian Smooth NBC News reported on December 26th that authorities in Singapore and the United Arab Emirates cut the brief homosexual kiss in the latest Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Singaporean authorities told the BBC that the kissing scene was cut in order to give it the PG-13 rating. Otherwise, Singapore only allows films with homosexuality by rating them R21, which prohibits anyone under the age of 21 to see it in theaters. This is because at the age of 21, young people magically become immune to corroding effects of perversion. O wait, nevermind.  The NBC News article notes that male homosexual acts are still illegal in Singapore, even though this “British colonial era law” is no longer enforced. The article notes that female homosexual acts are however, legal. While this seems a bit schizophrenic on the surface, it is striking that in the old testament law, only male homosexuality was criminalized. While Paul clearly identifies both male and female forms of homosexuality as sin in Romans 1, one of the most important distinctions Christians need to remember is the difference between sins and crimes. Only crimes are the jurisdiction of the civil magistrate. If God has not identified something as a crime in His word, it should not be a crime in our country, including things like smoking a cigar when you're 17 or wearing seatbelts. Of course either one of those things might be foolish or sinful (if you're disobeying your mother, for example), but neither should be crimes. And you cannot defend tyranny by appealing to Romans 13 or 1 Peter 2. Yes, we are to submit to human ordinances, but that doesn't remove the fact that the civil magistrate is acting tyrannically and unlawfully.  But back to that Star Wars lesbian smooch, NBC reports that Chinese authorities did not cut it. Could this indicate that they have are easing up on censoring homosexual and trans film representation? China had banned “Brokeback Mountain” few years ago and “Call Me By Your Name,” but while it granted ”Bohemian Rhapsody” a full theatrical release — it only did so with cuts of suggestive and gay content. It's striking that on this particular point the tyrannical communist regime has more decency that the United States of America.  And this links up with the recent pornography debate. Should pornography be illegal? Yes, of course. This is because pornography is a species of prostitution, and prostitution is prohibited in Lev. 19:29, Dt. 23:17, and the punishment for a priest's daughter who turned prostitute was death (Lev. 21:9). While the death penalty would be a maximum penalty in cases of extreme debauchery and corrupt, the biblical law clearly requires civil magistrates to suppress all forms of prostitution. And we should not miss the fact that prostitution has always been closely associate with idolatry. But sexual morality and the God/gods you worship always have social and political results. You are asking for a particular kind of society by how you live sexually and how you worship. It's also the other way around: the laws you enact are also asking for a certain sexuality and religion long term.  So for example, back in August, Disney's live action Mulan reboot was in the news when the lead actress Crystal Yifei Liu tweeted support for the Hong Kong police who have used increasingly harsh tactics to contain and suppress protesters. Variety's Rebecca Davis noted then that China's government widely praised the film, “putting Disney in an awkward position of having its interests defended by the world's biggest authoritarian regime.” The same article notes that Variety was able to identify scores of active accounts on Twitter that had all the hallmarks of being state-backed bots, all posting under the hashtag #supportmulan. Mulan is of course the story of the female-warrior hero, which is its own form of prostitution. A cursory glance at Twitter a few days ago, brought up mostly fan tweets for the young actress, but also still some recent commentary on the ongoing Hong Kong protests, clearly supporting the harsh tactics of the Hong Kong police. As I was preparing this news brief, I had also come across reports that Canadian public broadcasting television had made its own censorship decision this holiday season by cutting President Donald Trump's brief cameo appearance in the 1992 film Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. However, on further investigation, it appears that the cut was a routine television-time edit made back in 2014. So maybe conservatives are a little jumpy, but if the Simpson's were able to predict Trump becoming president back in 2000, maybe the Canadian's were already gearing up.  Anyway, the point here is that censorship is inevitable. It is not whether you will have censorship but what standard will be used. Could a pro-life ad be run during the SuperBowl? Let's say money is no problem, would it be allowed? Of course not. But will there be an ad with a homosexual couple in it? Almost certainly. Will there be ads with bikini babes? Of course. But could we run an ad defending the sanctity of heterosexual marriage? Not on your life. But we had already agreed to homosexuality and bestiality and prostitution when we struck down public obscenity laws. When we said we would allow prostitution on the screen, so long as someone was a certain arbitrary age, in principle we rejected God's law, rejected God, and we were turning to idols, and one of the most hideous idols was the god-state. If the State can rule against God's law, the State is claiming to be god. And you cannot do that without inevitably ultimately censoring Christians and Christian morality because Christian morality fundamentally denies the state's ultimate sovereignty and deity. Christian morality insists that the state has a legitimate but extremely limited jurisdiction under the God's law. But that's like telling an obese man he can only have a certain number of calories a day. It kind of cramps his style. So of course Christians and Christianity are currently being censored in America. Now, on the one hand, businesses should be free to accept whatever advertising they want (within biblical limits) and reject any they don't want. But we shouldn't pretend that there's an equal weights and measures going on. Everyone knows that if Toyota or Nike ran an ad celebrating motherhood and homemaking, they would be bombed into the next century by liberal extremists.  Meanwhile, all western audiences will be subjected to the Star Wars kiss. Of course you don't have to see it. You don't have to go to the movies. You don't have to fork over your money to see JJ Abrams put his two-second virtue signal pinch of incense on the altar of sexual idolatry. But then again, I'm also rather pleased that it still seems rather embarrassing. Why not go all in? Why not have a main character that's trans or flaming homosexual? Because the movie franchise would flop, tank, and disappear. Hollywood is a discipling America, and they understand the power of incrementalism. For my money, women have been known to kiss one another for centuries. We all know what they were trying to do, but I'd rather just say on that planet that's how all the godly women greet one another or express extreme relief and sisterly love. There have been human cultures that routinely greeted one another with kisses; we need not eroticize a kiss. To those who are impure, everything is impure, but to those who are pure, much remains pure. Sorry, JJ, no sexual perversion points will be awarded to you, you patriarchal pig. Now, Disney, on the other hand, your Mulan remake is an abomination, and unfortunately, far too many Christians will thoughtlessly eat that up.  North Korean Dictator Announces End to Nuclear Moratorium Lastly, and just briefly, you should be aware that on New Year's Day, North Korea's Dictator Kim Jong-Un announced that his country no longer feels bound by its self-imposed moratorium on testing nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles. Mr. Kim said that the testing of new weapons would be witnessed by the world in the near future. It is believed that North Korea has not tested any long range missiles or nuclear weapons in over two years.  Recall that President Trump has met with Mr. Kim three times during his presidency, and Trump has repeatedly insisted that he has a good relationship with the Communist Dictator, even as recently as last Tuesday. But North Korea had set December 31 as a deadline asking the United States to make some concessions to the heavy sanctions that remain against North Korea for their various human rights abuses, and with no concessions made, Mr. Kim told his party that his country will shift to a “shocking actual action” that will make the United States “pay for the pains sustained by our people.” Mr. Kim called the US treatment of North Korea “gangster-like acts” and called on the people of North Korea to “foil the enemies' sanctions.” The New York Times' Choe Sang-Hun reports that while North Korea has demonstrated that its fleet of missiles could likely reach parts of the United States, it is not clear that the country has a nuclear warhead that could survive re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. While there are no doubt many complexities here, one note of interest is the government run media funneling the exact information to the people of North Korea that the North Korean dictator wants. So here we return to the notion of censorship and media, and culture war. Christians are people of the word because we worship the Word made flesh. And that Word has dwelt among us, and we have beheld his glory. That Word has also spoken through the patriarchs and prophets and apostles, and we have that Word preserved for all time in the Bible. The Bible is God's Word. It is God's truth. And it is the truth that sets all men free. This freedom is political, economic, and social, as well as spiritual.  The world is an insanely complex place, and it can be hard to know what to think. But the Word of God is available to us. You probably have a number of copies all around your house. Are you reading? Are you listening? Are you marinating? The Word of God is a light. Do you need light? The Word of God is a sword. Do you need to address sins in your life or your family? The word of God is also a strong tower, a defense. We have a power that Kim Jong Un cannot imagine. Actually, given the fact that Bibles are illegal in North Korea, I suspect that he does imagine. And if Trump really wanted to set off a reaction, that's where he would push. Let the Bibles in. And same thing goes for Saudi Arabia and Iran and China. Well, quite frankly, we need a massive revival of Bible reading and Bible preaching in the West. Reading certain verses out loud in public would get you arrested in many places in our so-called “free” countries.   Speaking of Bible reading, if you're looking for a new Bible reading plan for the new year, you're most welcome to join the Christ Church Bible Reading Challenge. Our plan runs September through May, but there are facebook pages for men and women and you are most welcome to jump in at any time.

Announcing candidacy with… a shofar?… and more on today's CrossPolitic Daily News Brief. This is Toby Sumpter. Today is Tuesday, January 11, 2022.  Sen. Doug Mastriano Announced He's Running for Pennsylvania Governor And he made that announcement by blowing a shofar – a ram's horn: 0:00-0:25  But he wasn't done yet: 0:25-0:58 You know, there are two things that occur to me upon viewing this video: the first one is cringe city. There is nothing remotely biblical, spiritual, or edifying about this sort of thing. And it's a bunch of cringe. This is why liberals think we're nuts. Cause, well, we are.  But the second thing that occurs to me is that this is my crazy uncle. He's no doubt a Christian, and he stands for many things that I stand for. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't care what it looks like. I appreciate the fact that he is willing to look like a fool for Christ. I would take this guy every day of the week over the sexy-cool pastors at the Gospel Coalition every day of the week.  You know like the very well-meaning Paul Carter at Gospel Coalition Canada: In a recent article Pastor Carter helpfully outlines the recent Anti-Conversion Bill that passed the Canadian parliament, and then did a pastoral faceplant as he tried to argue for a coy-mellow response rather than the one that takes backbone and courage.  “This enactment amends the Criminal Code to, among other things, create the following offences: (a) causing another person to undergo conversion therapy; (b) doing anything for the purpose of removing a child from Canada with the intention that the child undergo conversion therapy outside Canada; (c) promoting or advertising conversion therapy; and (d) receiving a financial or other material benefit from the provision of conversion therapy. It also amends the Criminal Code to authorize courts to order that advertisements for conversion therapy be disposed of or deleted. The definition of ‘conversion therapy' set out in Bill C-4 reads as follows: 320.‍101 In sections 320.‍102 to 320.‍104, conversion therapy means a practice, treatment or service designed to (a) change a person's sexual orientation to heterosexual; (b) change a person's gender identity to cisgender; (c) change a person's gender expression so that it conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth; (d) repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour; (e) repress a person's non-cisgender gender identity; or (f) repress or reduce a person's gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth. For greater certainty, this definition does not include a practice, treatment or service that relates to the exploration or development of an integrated personal identity — such as a practice, treatment or service that relates to a person's gender transition — and that is not based on an assumption that a particular sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression is to be preferred over another.” Having explained all of that, Pastor Carter says he favors the response of some of his friends who will be reading a bland statement of concern this last Sunday expression mild concerns that this bill could possible, in the 9th dimension, if you're standing on your head and squinting yours, could possibly be taken as being against Biblical sexuality, even though all the politicians have promised it isn't (and crossed the heart, hope to die).  But Pastor Carter is a bit concerned about Pastor John MacArthur and other Canadian pastors who are planning to preach sermons this Sunday illegally. He's concerned that conceding the point that to preach what the Bible says about sexuality in defiance of Bill C-4 – he's concerned that that is conceding too much. We should wait and see what the courts say. But while we may certainly make room for various tactical measures depending on different scenarios on the ground, the milktoast approach while playing coy about the bill is how Canadians got into this mess in the first place.  For this reason, I will be joining Pastor MacArthur and many faithful Canadian pastors this Sunday preaching a message on Biblical Sexuality, specifically calling out the Canadian government for passing this legislation, and proclaiming conversion to Christ for all sexual sins, including homosexuality and transgenderism.  NSA Beastmode Homemaker Scholarship In the interest of promoting a hard-hitting, thoroughly biblical education for life, CrossPolitic Studios is very excited to present: The Fight Laugh Feast “Beastmode Homemaker” Scholarship for qualified first year female students who have been accepted to New St. Andrews College for Fall 2022. This scholarship will fund almost half a young woman's annual tuition for four years.  Because CrossPolitic wants to encourage young women to prepare themselves to take dominion and be fruitful through beastmode homemaking this scholarship is specifically offered to qualified young women.  How to be considered for the Fight Laugh Feast “Beastmode Homemaker” Scholarship: 1. Apply to New St. Andrews College and receive official notification that you have been accepted.  2. Write a short essay (~1000) words explaining why you are the woman to receive this scholarship. This essay should be thoughtful, good humored, feminine, and well-written.

The scholarship is contingent on remaining such a student in good standing (academically, morally), and living like a faithful Christian in our community. The scholarship may be revoked at any time by the CrossPolitic gods, should a young woman prove to be unworthy of this honor.  Pediatric Hospitalizations Not for Covid only WITH COVID We're still having reporting problems: The CDC is reporting increasing pediatric COVID hospitalizations, and quick google search finds stories all over the place citing similar statistics. Dr. Jeanne Noble from the UCSF emergency department says it's critical to break these numbers down. She tweeted over the weekend: “Between our 2 pediatric hospitals in SF and Oakland, 30% of COVID+ hospitalizations are for COVID illness, and 70% are incidental. 6 kids hospitalized b/c of COVID today at UCSF.” We've seen this since the beginning of the so-called pandemic: little to no care to distinguish between those who merely have a positive test with no/few related symptoms and those actually suffering with the disease directly. The same failure has plagued (pun intended) reporting of mortality and deaths. Granted, sometimes it's a wisdom call, but there have been many deaths that would have occurred anyway but have been coded COVID deaths because the cancer patient or heart disease patient happened to get a positive test. My grandmother ended up in the hospital this last Fall when she broke her arm and she had a positive covid test with no symptoms. She's home now recovering just fine, but I wouldn't doubt that she was considered a COVID patient in the hospital even though her time there had nothing to do with COVID.  Good news coming out of Iowa this last weekend: Iowa Labor Commissioner Says the State Will Not Enforce Biden's Vax Order https://www.kcci.com/article/iowas-labor-commissioner-says-the-state-will-not-enforce-the-biden-administrations-vaccine-mandate/38701039?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&fbclid=IwAR2rSrjf97pDlh_17ihdGwAc_qxs96p9aGkFaoyWjfOQEZbcZ-ozpoN32rw From local news KCCI: Iowa's labor commissioner says the state will not enforce the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for businesses with 100 employees or more. This decision comes as the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments regarding the mandate. Commissioner Rod Roberts said in a statement "after reviewing the mandate — Iowa will not adopt the federal standard. Roberts' full statement says: “Iowa doesn't have a standard requiring the Covid-19 vaccine or testing. But after closely reviewing the federal OSHA Vaccine Mandate, Iowa has determined it will not adopt the federal standard. Iowa has concluded that it is not necessary because Iowa's existing standards are at least as effective as the federal standard change.” Gov. Kim Reynolds praised the commissioner's decision. OK, states, follow Iowa. Acknowledge the mandate and decline to enforce it.  Psalm of the Day: 133 0:00-0:49  Amen.
