Para termos a mente de Cristo, devemos estar dispostos a sermos crucificados com Ele, indo aonde quer que nos conduza - a qualquer preço. "Pois que por muitas tribulações nos importa entrar no Reino de Deus? (At 14.22) . À medida que nos submetemos ao refinamento no fogo do sofrimento, nossos desejos são purificados e acabamos desejando nada mais que curvar toda fibra de nosso ser, inclusive nossas faculdades mentais, para cumprir a Oração do Senhor: "Venha ○ teu Reino". Ansiamos por entregar todos os nossos talentos e dons aos seus pés a fim de promover Os seus propósitos no mundo. Desenvolver uma cosmovisão cristă significa submeter nosso "eu" a Deus, em ato de devoção e serviço a Ele.

As we lose the very concept of the household, we are losing the “school” that trains us how to function with love and responsibility beyond the household.

Nancy Pearcey, foreword to C.R. Wiley's The Household and the War for the Cosmos

just read the first chapter of Love Thy Body by Nancy Pearcey and it’s already perhaps the most important book a Christian can read on Western civilization’s approach to the body and soul

[cupcakegalaxia]

Those who oppose abortion have a holistic view of human nature as a whole. That no matter what, you have intrinsic value, worth as a person-- A member of the human race. Those of the pro-choice camp actually say that some don't measure up and don't qualify to be their own being. Our bodies are not expendable, and neither are the lives of the unborn.

If you don't wish to have a child, then do not hook up with random people and have sex with them. Sex is not just a physical act, it's also a mental and emotional act as well -- there is no such thing as a clean cut between distinct aspects of a relationship.

My problem with reading theology type books is that they mention other theology type books and suddenly I'm still trying to read the first one while also off on at least two other bunny trails...

The War on Men: Nancy Pearcey Interview - The Becket Cook Show Ep. 128

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

This year’s annual NRB Conference included remarks from prominent speakers, focusing particularly on the needs of families in today’s increasingly hostile culture.

The panel, “Faith, Fatherhood, & Masculinity” was moderated by Fox News chief religion correspondent Lauren Green. It featured remarks from Ryan Bomberger, co-founder and chief creative officer at The Radiance Foundation; Mary Eberstadt, author of Adam and Eve after the Pill, Revisited; Nancy Pearcey, professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University; and Sean Teis, president of Life…

Rules: List ten books that have stayed with you in some way, don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard - they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you.

The Dalemark Quartet by Diana Wynne Jones

This is technically four books together, but the copy I got was a library bound copy that my mom picked up at the university book sale when I was in 6th grade. It took me three years to read the whole thing because I was so annoyed that each book would end on a cliffhanger and then start with another whole cast of characters. But truly my favourite fantasy book, and my favourite author of all time

2. How to Hide and Empire by Daniel Immerwahl

One of my fav nonfiction books of all time, full of fascinating trivia and connections that all of my friends inwardly roll their eyes at me for repeating in nearly every conversation

3. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

I had to read this for class in high school and I definitely was the only person who found it fucking hilarious. Nobody else that I talk to ever likes this book. Also I lent my copy full of pages and pages of notes to somebody and now it's LOST

4. Love You Bye by Scott Mills

Scott Mills the platonic love of my life. This is such an easy read and so clearly heavily ghost written but I love it so much because I am maybe perhaps Scott's number one fan.

5. Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

I read this last year and it's the first fiction book I have read in... maybe three years? I'm obsessed. I find fiction to be very boring right now but this series is DIFFERENT.

6. Love Thy Body by Nancy Pearcey

The rules said books that have "stayed with you in some way". There's no book that has made me more viscerally angry to read than this one. I hated it. She drew the most outlandish conclusions and made ridiculous leaps. 0/10 the only worse book is probably the one she just published.

7. Death to Deconstruction by Joshua Porter

A theology book that doesn't suck. My roommate bought this for me for Christmas and she got it SIGNED (Joshua Porter aka Josh Dies aka the lead singer of Showbread and the band I stanned before 1D). I read this over a series of weeks at Ikea over swedish meatballs.

8. Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow

I keep saying that if there's one book I'd rec to Louis it would be this one. Goddamn Ronan is a good writer and it's so good to watch bad men go down.

9. The Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven

I'm not actually sure this book is good? I tried rereading it a few years ago and I couldn't get through the first few chapters. But I read it for the first time around like 2012 and at the time it was everything to me. I drew weird black tattoos on everything for years.

10. Soft Lad by Nick Grimshaw

Another one I read over a progression of Saturdays at Ikea eating lunch. Both Scott and Nick were part of my foray into finding myself as an adult, choosing what I like and what I want to pursue. Unlike Scott's autobography (as Chris Stark pronounced it), this one definitely felt like it came straight from Grimmy's lips.

Assim que descobrimos que a cosmovisão cristã é de fato verdadeira então vivê-la significa oferecer a Deus todas as nossas faculdades práticas, intelectuais, emocionais, artísticas a fim de viver para Ele em cada área da vida. A única expressão que essa fé assume é a que captura todo o nosso ser e redireciona cada um de nossos pensamentos. A idéia da divisão secular/sagrado fica inconcebível. A verdade bíblica se apodera de nosso ser interior, e reconhecemos que não é apenas a mensagem de salvação, mas é também a verdade acerca de toda a realidade. A Palavra de Deus torna-se luz para todos os nossos caminhos, proporcionando os princípios fundamentais para colocar cada parte de nossa vida debaixo do senhorio de Cristo, a fim de glorificá-lo e cultivar sua criação.

Nancy Pearcey em Verdade Absoluta. p.61

That made me wonder, Why do the paths for men and women diverge so sharply when they have children? As I researched the subject, I discovered that it was not always so. Before the industrial revolution, when economic work was performed within the household, both men and women spent most of their time in the home and its outbuildings. Fathers were able to be far more involved in childrearing than today. And mothers were able to be involved in economically productive work without putting the kids in day care.

My suspicion is that the only reason working out would be less strongly tied to groundedness in women is because we already have a stronger intrinsic connection to the physical due to the nature of our bodies

Well, (and correct me if I’ve misunderstood you) but I don’t think the guys are discovering something physical through their workouts, I think they’re discovering something spiritual.

For example, as a woman, when I read Nancy Pearcey’s Love Thy Body, which described the hylomorphic state to me for the first time, it upended my whole worldview, and to this day I’m still discovering straggling scraps of materialism or Gnosticism in the chinks of my worldview. Moreover, that knowledge helped me to consider my body as me, rather than something I have, or something I live in, or as I was often wont to do, an adversary. (Fittingly, I am now being tested by the dysfunction of my gallbladder.) I feel like I was never truly connected to the physical until I read that book. Not just with regard to my body, but also the world around me, and the relationships I’m in. And certainly focused physical activity strengthens that sense of unity between physical and metaphysical and reaffirms that the metaphysical is in fact, real.

I suppose the question in my mind is: If I can come to knowledge of the physical via spiritual discipline, can someone else come to knowledge of the spiritual via physical discipline? And is this a channel more accessible to men than to women, perhaps because their bodies do change so much faster and more drastically with physical activity than women’s do? etc. etc.

La guerre toxique contre la masculinité — Nancy R. Pearcey (recension) – Par la foi

"When masculinity itself is portrayed as a problem, the implication is that the solution is emasculation."

Nancy Pearcey, "The Toxic War on Masculinity"

Pearcey Best Price: $15.99 Buy New $15.99 (as of 11:32 UTC - Details) Catholic movie star Mel Gibson issued a stinging rebuke of the “disgusting” opening ceremonies at this year’s Olympic Games in Paris, which he said attacked his religious beliefs. Gibson sent his remarks to Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States. Viganò shared them on his X account Monday. In his statement, Gibson said the performance “mocked” his Catholic faith. “Who do they think they are that they can do this? Giving the gold medal to … Continue reading →
