This is an unprecedented time in Tennessee: a potential female Governor
This month, in our August primary election, Democrats voted to nominate Jerri Green as their choice for Governor. And despite better male candidates, most Republicans chose Marsha Blackburn.
Therefore, for the first time in Tennessee, in November’s general election, our two top contenders for Governor are females. One has a D after her name (Green), the other an R (Blackburn). That is what a majority of Tennesseans here in “Bible Belt” USA voted for. What is causing the Bible Belt to apostatize to this feminist gender dysphoria, and the obvious emasculation of “men” who support this?
As I’ve warned in many articles and blog posts. This comes from the unbiblical egalitarianism (feminism) taught and practiced in most churches today in Tennessee, and their beta boy pastors and pulpits who have normalized their anti-Biblical DEI “equal rights” agenda. And I believe the only reason the Lord decreed this is that He’s rightfully judging the state of Tennessee (more about that below).
And now many republicans, who like me, voted for the better choice (a man) in the primaries, are seeing a majority of republicans treating this as an insurmountable circumstance, panicking while telling us we must vote for Blackburn in November.
And some of these loyal to the establishment republicans are already social-shaming fellow republicans who won’t vote for Blackburn this November. The mantra of these Karens or Tyrants is, it’s my way or the highway. As I speak on behalf of the minority. I reject those who tread on my liberty of conscience, or who compel me to compromise, or who try to move me to the left, or towards the middle with them, or who try to convince me to become pro feminist.
As a Christian who is conservative, I have never voted for a democrat or a woman, and I’m not about to start now. Similar to abortion and homosexuality, feminism is a national sin. Besides, the lesser of evils is still evil.
Blackburn boasted in being Tennessee’s first female U.S. Senator. Now, after winning the republican nomination for Governor, she’s bragging in hopes of being our first female Governor.
But by God’s sovereign grace, I am a Christian first, and a republican last. Which means I won’t vote like a republican; I will vote like a Christian; I will vote like a man. For the glory and fear of God, my Biblical convictions and Christian principles supersede political party or pragmatism. And I will not apologize for my Christian worldview (according to the Scriptures).
Therefore, this November for Governor, unless I’m convinced to vote for a male Independent, I will either write in my preferred choice, or I will undervote. An undervote is tactical voting, a protest vote, and/or an abstention. I am a bondslave to CHRIST, not Caesar nor Uncle Sam.
Women are not called by God to lead men, the family, the church, cities, counties, states, nations, and/or lead in civil government. Egalitarians and complementarians will point you to a few accounts in the Bible where women led somehow. But they are hermeneutically ignorant.
For one of many texts. Isaiah chapter 3 indicates that God placed women in places of leadership, but these women weren’t God’s blessing; they were Almighty God’s curse and judgment upon a land and their people. And I believe this is what is happening to Tennessee.
“As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.” – Isaiah 3:12-13
When feminists and pro feminist men say “women leading can be found in the Bible.” That is tantamount to saying “Homosexuals are Biblical because they’re in the Bible.”
Regardless of who wins the governorship, I will rejoice in the Lord. If it’s a woman, I will rejoice in the Lord’s inevitable judgment.
Dear people. Repent, believe, and obey the Gospel. Fear God and keep His Commandments. Because the judgment of Almighty God is inevitable. Lord, let Thy will be done. Fiat Voluntas Tua!
Please consider these two sermons about women in leadership.
- Women Civil Magistrates? A must-hear sermon by Dr. Joe Morecraft.
- The Damnable Doctrine of Equality – Women in Government, by Elder Samuel Ashwood.
If you’re aware of other likewise sermons, please send them to me.
But more important than politics. The remedy for our sin problem is to Repent (metanoeō) believe (pisteúō̄) and obey (hupakouō) the Gospel (Mark 1:15 & 2 Thess. 1:8). It is Good News for God’s elect.

This Nov. 3rd, I will vote like a man, a Christian conservative man. Which also means I will vote against the sinister feminist agenda. Lord, let Your will be done!
It’s Election Day, they say. Lord willing, I will vote today. But to me, the most important election is the doctrine of election. And yes, the doctrines of grace (aka the five points of Calvinism) are essential doctrines gleaned from the Scriptures. I also embrace the second point in these five Biblical doctrines. The “U” in the acronym TULIP stands for Unconditional Election. Doctrine matters. Lord, let Your will be done with all elections. What is unconditional election?
.
“UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION: The position that God’s choice of people for salvation is based on his sovereign will and good pleasure to save them. Key tenets: (1) God is sovereign, and so is election; (2) in eternity past, and from his grace in Christ, God chose certain people to be saved; (3) in time, God grants saving grace and faith to the elect alone; (4) election precedes and results in justification, regeneration, conversion, sanctification, good works, and glorification. This view contrasts with conditional election: God’s choice is dependent on his foreknowledge of people’s faith in the gospel and continuation in salvation. See also conditional election; decree; election; foreknowledge; Reformed theology; saving grace.”

Regeneration Is Only for the Elect:
“There are some who broadly define regeneration as to make it universal, says van Mastricht. That is, they hold that everyone has been given the ability to perform good deeds, including those things necessary for salvation. Van Mastricht notes the Papists teach that “sufficient grace is given to every man whereby he can be saved.” Many tend to believe that every person can be regenerated if he chooses to believe. No doctrine of election applies to them. For this reason Reformed theologians such as John Cotton (1585–1652) were compelled to say that the first cause of our “Spiritual life, is the holy and gracious will of God” (citing James 1:18). In particular, Cotton says it is from “God’s will in the Covenant, that begets a child of God.” Regeneration therefore is limited to those whom God has appointed to eternal life, namely, the elect.
.
From a human standpoint, we must regard everyone as possible candidates for salvation and eternal life until they die. For that reason, we proclaim the gospel to all, indiscriminately. Yet, theologically, we know that only the elect are regenerated. Peter writes his epistle to persons “elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:2) and begins with praise to God the Father, “which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope” (v. 3), and so draws a straight line from election to regeneration.
.
Thomas Cole says that the subjects of regeneration are “The Elect, only the Elect, and all the Elect.” Swinnock says, “Those whose names are registered in heaven, their natures are regenerated on earth.”119 Van Mastricht also restricts regeneration to the elect. This is not a debate among the Puritans. They all agreed with Ezekiel Hopkins when he said that whom God “predestined, them he regenerated.”121 The external call must be extended to all, but only the elect will be “effectually called,” that is, regenerated and so enabled to respond to the preaching of the gospel with understanding, faith, and repentance.”

Last night, nationally, the compromised, pro-National-sin Republican Party understandably got their butts kicked. In a historical landslide, the Democrats gained control of the Senate, Congress, & Governorships. I loathe the Democrat Party and will never vote for one. But the hypocritical, blame-shifting Trump (and his followers) is still blinded by his own pride. And so, there’s good reason why many born-again Christians (bondslaves to Christ) either stayed home yesterday or voted ‘principle over party.’ Either way, my trust is in the LORD, and I rejoice in Him. He is Sovereign over the elections; He decreed them, and Almighty God’s judgment is inevitable. May His elect people repent and be more faithful, not faithless. May we not flinch in the face of adversity. Lord, let Your will be done!

Democrats like Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed & liberals are laughing for the camera with a sinful, prideful laugh. But there is a Biblical laughter I appreciate. Since this is speaking of the Lord (Theology proper), I’m going to tread lightly. It says in Psalm 2:4-6, “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.”
.
The Lord (‘ădônây), the Master of the universe, is not sitting in heaven laughing at jokes as we might. Nor laughing because ‘we won, and they lost.’ God, who sits in heaven (yâshab), laughs (śâchaq) at such an irreverent view of His ordinances. His Holy laughter, an expression of His sovereignty, will righteously mock and scoff at sin and sinners. And so, perhaps our LORD is laughing in heaven. Fear God and trust in Him church!
