A Few Obvious Observations
If you would have known these facts, you wouldn’t have moved. You would have concluded, with pretty much the rest of the world, that the so-called “work” in Moscow is a sociopathic freak show.

He hides it in order to create an optical illusion of the Promised Land. But Moscow is the mirage — and suddenly your former “happy-clappy” PCA church looks like a bastion of biblical orthodoxy.

“Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people”
Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people. . . Violent rape is God’s judgment upon a culture, and individual women who are part of that culture are included in the judgment. . . . We see the same judgment at work in disintegrating cultures: ‘Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil’ (Eccl. 8:11). Here the rape is not being perpetrated by foreign soldiers, but is the result of citizens turning on one another. Every culture is a gathering of sinners, and so rape is always a possibility. But when God’s hand of judgment is heavy upon a people, women are in far greater danger of sexual assault than at other times. It is interesting to note that in these, our ‘enlightened’ times, a woman is far more likely to be abused in this way than before all the liberation happened. Douglas Wilson
