The PCA is not a loose federation of churches. We are united by our Constitution and our commitment to the Scriptures. The actions complained of here egregiously violate both, and the matter must be redressed. #

Boxers should not telegraph a jab, basketball players must not telegraph a pass and poker players should give no 'tells.' Why then should preachers telegraph their sermons? #

The culture asks (but cannot answer), 'What is a woman?' The PCA asks, 'What is a pastor or a deacon?' Are the pronouns of deacons and elders (and pastors) he/him since ordination is limited to men? The PCA must decide whether there are unordained offices and whether ecclesial titles matter at all. #

After all, what kind of man can 'contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints' (Jude 3) in such a way that even his ardent opponent praises him at his death for his convictions and his grace? Only one who follows in the footsteps of the King and Head of the Church, united to him in life, in death, and into glory. Perhaps, in the end, a whole-souled commitment to do just that is the greatest legacy that Machen leaves to the PCA today. #

One of the more distasteful and lazy interpretative moves that scholars have made, in our sexually libertine age, is to anachronistically sexualize earlier expressions of masculine affection as sexual. Among Reformed figures it has been done to Theodore Beza, and now Machen’s expressions of affection for male friends has been sexualized. As difficult as it may be to believe now, in our hyper-sexualized age, there was a time not very long ago when men expressed affection for other men without the thought or hint of sexual attraction. #
