How to Move to Moscow | Douglas Wilson

[@masterdaveedwards]

Bless this man Lord and give him strength and wisdom and thank you for his saltiness and his earthy humour.

[@NikkiSchumacherOfficial]

Great sermon even for someone not moving to Moscow.

[@katherinetope2650]

I concur. I was especially convicted about the gratitude turning into pride and not letting pride turn into ingratitude. The joy of the Lord is our strength and, like Doug quoting Paul said--What do we have that we weren't given? Thank You, Lord for all of it.

[@steveshapiro326]

This Douglas guy believes slavery was benevolent. Women in the Christ Church cult reported abuse from the Pastor and his team.

I like that Melchizedeck story of the meal while enemies were still in the land. Made me think of, "you prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies," from Psalm 23.

[@nathancarranza9860]

Glad I watched the sermon; otherwise, I would've found myself in Moscow, Ohio asking folk, "Can you tell me if y'all seen Doug Wilson around here?"

[@ChristKirk]

Better than Moscow, Russia!

No you don't. Moscow is the liberal stain on the Idaho Panhandle. Don't do it.

[@LucianaPelota]

@@kendevries3212 I would move there for the church community.

[@johnbrunsfeld7779]

Extremely liberal and getting more so, despite Doug's efforts. The idea that the small church community is going to take over the gigantic greater community is idealistic and you will not enjoy it there.

[@kyriosity]

@@johnbrunsfeld7779 But John, we pray "Thy kingdom come," and we believe the King will answer. If the whole earth will someday bow to His rule, we have no problem believing He can take lil' ol' Moscow!

I am not apposed to prederism . But I cannot see a better application of my faith to the reality of living in Babylon. I admire tactical attitude and resolve in Fulfilling Christ's mandate. I'd move their in a minute.

[@keithwilson6060]

I’d like to move to any church where the pastor wears a coat and tie. Yes, it does matter. It’s an outward manifestation of an inward attitude.

[@mrtodd3620]

I'd like to move to a church where all the men wear a coat and tie. Alas, I am stuck at my my church where nobody does (except me).

[@lindseyh5735]

@@mrtodd3620 My husband doesn't own a coat and tie. We are a blue collar family. Neither of our fathers wear coats or ties. I actually want to ask you what is the inward attitude that we can't have without a coat and tie? I don't disagree that clothing matters, though. Trendy clothing is one thing, but modesty is as much as we can do to reflect our respect (personally).

[@dnzswithwombats]

Our blue state governor just pitched a message that businesses should relocate here from places like Texas because he will guarantee that here their employees can always get an abortion. How sick is that? The Adversary has upside down virtues.

[@ReformedSooner24]

Im just waiting for the secular death cult of the left to admit what they are. Already in Canada for example their VA is offering MAID (medical assistance in dying) to vets and supposedly expanding it to make it more accessible to TEENAGERS. There’s a kind of wickedness in that and in the worship of abortion that runs even deeper than fornication and sexual degeneracy. Something that hates human life. Something so absolutely demonic.

[@markxivlxii1390]

I wish I could move to anywhere in Idaho let alone Moscow. But alas I am stuck in Japan for the past 25 years :(

What is it that is making you stay “stuck”?

[@Republic1usa]

Been there for 2 years! Sooooo COLD on winter. Snow was So high had to walk onto the roof To shovel off the fresh wet Snow so roof would not collapse. Had to leave kitchen cabinet Doors open so pipes would not see. Need snow mobile and 4wd. City with a smile! Was -50F to Me that's cold!!!!! SUMMERS WERE THE BEST!

Extremely extremely liberal here and a major cultural battle that is getting worse not better, the reality is so much more complex than the idea of a nice church community.

[@ReformedSooner24]

@@johnbrunsfeld7779 It’s where the fight is isn’t it? A spiritual one? Where else better for a Christian to be than with a large community of believers in hostile territory, being salt and light to the darkness around them and perhaps even receiving the honor of suffering for Christ’s name?

[@mexvantil7523]

Right on. Amen amen.

[@ReformedSooner24]

Ngl about a year or two ago I started to want to move out North and West to a smaller town or city (DFW is too big for my tastes) and Moscow is pretty tempting. The idea of not just forging my own path, with God going ahead and I following, but of specifically venturing out to somewhere where I can be a part of something important just by being a Godly man and being present and willing to pitch in wherever I’m needed. Somewhere where I can be a part of something like Moscow. Not to mention somewhere with actual potential to find a good wife. Where im at now all the girls and guys are egalitarian “conservative” Christians who believe in 50-50 marriages and are left-of-center. I’m a staunch right wing traditional, biblical conservative. And I am not happy with the evanjelly energy I get from the young adults group at my church. I don’t hold it against them. And as far as doctrines such as orthodox reformed theology goes in a number of important areas such as salvation they’re solid. The older members and my pastor are decently solid too. Im gonna be honest, that’s incredibly appealing to me. Before I was thinking about South Dakota or Wyoming. I suppose it’s worth praying about. Although I don’t know how well I’d fit in because I’m a machinist/operator by trade. Blue-collar. I don’t know how well I’d fit in when a bunch of my peers in my age group are probably white collars, going to university and whatnot. Again I guess it’s something to pray about.

[@reecemorris9820]

Did you decide to move? My family and I are seriously contemplating the move to Moscow. I think we will be visiting soon.

When the price of a round of golf includes not only the exorbitant greens fees, but also acquiring a "golf skills certificate," you become rudely awakened to the fact that any similarities between the two cultures are only two weeks' deep.

[@evafriesen6561]

Thank you for this lovely sermon. I always enjoy listening to whatever you have to say Mr. Wilson. Do you have any advice for us North of the boarder. What are your thoughts on illegal immigrants fleeing a sort of persecution. With v@x passports being almost forced onto us. When is the time to flee if there is a time to flee? Weather legal or illegal. Our Premier of Alberta has announced that this is now the pandemic of the un-v@xd. I fear what the punishment will be for those who can not in good conscious receive the jab. Any advice or encouragement?

[@Freed98]

Feeling drawn to this place because of the church. Is Moscow a good place to live?.

[@johnknox4293]

Thanks Doug

[@heinrich3088]

If you are willing to move to Moscow, you first need to become Orthodox. You know, you don't want to steal the sheep of some valid bishop, therefore breaking the old canons of Nicaeae.

"Kirk" is just the Scottish word for church. We use it for our website (christkirk.com) and online accounts since there are many churches called "Christ Church."
