The Affair of the Sausages in 1522 was the event that launched the Protestant Reformation in Zurich, Switzerland, when Huldrych Zwingli preached a sermon arguing in favor of Christian liberty where eating meat during Lent was concerned. This has me thinking Reformation Day needs to emphasize more the eating of meat in celebration. Drinking beer would also be appropriate, since Luther's wife was a brewer. So also, let's reenact the nailing of the Ninety-five Theses to the church doors - after updating it, of course.

Among the things I think we need to object to is the insufficiently rigorous Biblical teaching regarding sex and marriage, and how thankful we should each be for the great blessing it is to be born male or female. What I'm getting at is the need to get ahead of stories like Sinead Watson's, which was recently told to independent journalist Andy Ngo.

In her early twenties, Sinead began hormone therapy and elective surgery to live a new life as a man. Now that she has attempted to transition back to being a woman again, she lives with health problems, like bladder issues and a lack of sensation in her chest, where a double mastectomy removed her breasts.

So what is a woman? And what is a man? Matt Walsh recently sat down with Joe Rogan to discuss these and other related questions. And I don't particularly care that Walsh got the number of gender transition regimens undertaken wrong. The point is that Christians must not affirm in even one such story as Sinead's the folly and self-destruction inherent to sinning against nature and defiling our bodies so.

But we must go farther, I think. The exit polls show Generation Z voted for Democrats over Republicans by over 28 points. Meanwhile, 68% of unmarried women voted Democrat, compared with the 37% who voted for Republicans.

This is not to say we should celebrate women getting married and having children so they'll vote for the Grand Old Party. It is to say that a comprehensive strategy for conservative revival and reformation in America must involve every area of life in order to be successful, since this is a package deal, and we must both regard and treat it as such.

First, we need to get right with God through faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ. Subsequently, we need to embrace the virtues of men being masculine and women being feminine. After that, our young women and men need to be strongly encouraged to tie the knot. And lastly, these young couples ought to be thrown enthusiastic parades and parties when they bear children to train up in the fear and instruction of the Lord, since those are sorely needed right now.

From where I'm sitting, the abandonment of faithfulness to God, marriage, and parenting is how we got into this social and political quagmire. Thus it stands to reason that the way back out again will be found in reviving our faith in, and commitment to, all of the above, in this order.

This, then, is a cultural project. No two ways about it. But that's what the church is for. And that's what the church needs to be about.

If some smoked sausage and beer will help us gin up the courage to remind our local churches of that fact, it's worth however many numbered and nailed theses we need to spell it out, because it's time to remember that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, he who finds a wife finds a good thing, and children are a heritage from Yahweh.
