Joseph, Did You Know... You'd Stay a Virgin, Too?

 

What Joseph's face might have looked like after hearing about Mary's "perpetual virginity."


Joseph, Did You Know... You'd Stay a Virgin, Too?


*To the tune of Mary, Did You Know?


Joseph, did you know  

That your wedding night would end in prayer and fasting?  

Joseph, did you know  

That your dreams of love would face a vow everlasting?  


Did you know  

That your chaste embrace would guard a virgin's call?  

And that your marriage bed  

Would be the holiest of all?


Joseph, did you know  

That your baby boy would redefine your mission?  

Joseph, did you know  

That perpetual virginity was Mary’s disposition?  


Did you know  

That your sacrifice would shape salvation’s plan?  

And that your silent suffering  

Would make you God’s best man?


The vows stayed true, the nights were cold,  

Your patience shone like gold.  

The angels sang, the heavens cheered,  

For the purity you upheld so bold.


Joseph, did you know  

That your role as spouse meant no consummation?  

Joseph, did you know  

You’d be a saint through holy resignation?  


Did you know  

That while others wed with passion’s fire,  

You’d guard the Virgin Mother—  

A protector to admire?

Dave Ramsey Flags Reformation Heritage Books as “Spiritual Treasure, Budgetary Trap”

Financial guru says the Puritans are great, but maxing out your credit card for a 12‑volume set on covenant theology is not a “baby step.” NASHVILLE — Personal finance icon Dave Ramsey has reportedly issued a pointed caution to Christians everywhere: Reformation Heritage Books is a spiritual danger to your budget, and one careless click on “Complete Works of John Owen” could slide you straight back into the “debt spiral” he has spent decades trying to prevent. According to sources familiar with the matter, the warning came during a segment on “biblically responsible spending,” when a caller asked whether it was wise to purchase a multi‑volume set of Reformed classics on a credit card. “Look,” Ramsey reportedly replied, “I love the Puritans. I love deep theology. I do not love you going into debt for a book you will read six pages of before you fall asleep.” Ramsey’s team is said to have flagged Reformation Heritage Books not because the content is bad, but because the catalog is long, ...

April Atheists Day

Pictured: logo of the National Atheist Party (unaffiliated)  April Fools’ Day is a well-known tradition of pranking and joking around with friends and family. But did you know that it is also a holiday for atheists? That’s right, every year on April 1st, atheists celebrate their disbelief in God and mock the religious beliefs of others. According to some historians, April Fools’ Day originated from the medieval practice of changing the calendar from the Julian to the Gregorian system, which moved the start of the new year from March 25th to January 1st. Those who refused to accept the change or were unaware of it were called “April fools” and ridiculed by others. Some atheists claim that this date has now become a symbolic representation of their rejection of the Christian faith and its calendar.  May atheists now hold that April Fools’ Day has become a day of celebration and liberation from the tyranny and oppression of religion. They argue that religion is based on superstit...
