Harrison Butker: Christian camp done right

[Larry Lee]

Harrison Butker lets us into his closet...

Does he not have any socks?

Harrison Butke don't need no stinkin socks! He's got hair product and a dresser.

Harrison is the guy we need speaking for all men about the proper behavior of women. He is handsome, an athlete and rich. Shoes that cost a fortune do not need socks.

Perhaps he forgot to put his socks on when he got dressed, dear Sister Mitza. Then again, as he is prepared for a flood, he likely didn't want to have sopping-wet socks to deal with later!

[Mary Etheldreda]

Indeed. He's better than Tim Tebow in that respect and perhaps that's why Tim Tebow has been forgotten. Women like a sharp dressed man, and traditional wives don't want to be embarrassed hanging off the arm of an average looking fellow.

I can see that anyone dipping into the three-figure market for shoes would likely skimp in other areas too. When Jesus was born, He received earthly recognition in the form of valuables. At the time, ranked in order, we had MYRRH, GOLD and FRANKINCENSE, having traversed deserts to get there presumably via camel train. These are notoriously expensive to run & maintain—especially when transporting myrrh—so I'd assume reasonable quantities were involved. We also know Jesus was well dressed John 19:23 and seamless coats remain a high-end option today: they are very difficult to produce. Perhaps some of the frankincense could cover that but the fact remains that gold and myrrh, gifted by foreign potentates, would enable a very decent wardrobe.

Traditions are always important. In this respect the footwear accords with Christ's example, whether or not He needed to access His gold. But not all traditions are the same. For example, there's a tradition to dance around in decorated groves having consumed assorted toadstools, then sidling into an alcove (part of the décor) to "celebrate" the fertility season. Evidently this starts early around March and continues for some time. Anyway, that is one tradition. How should it be judged? By reference to God's Clear Commandments, from the example of those who followed them and the example of those who did not.

A DECORATED GROVE

II Kings 21:2-3 [Manasseh] did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

Ahab? What did Ahab do?

I Kings 16:33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

Now say an owner commanded his wife to set up a grove and go in there, provoking God to anger by casting horoscopes or doing tarot readings or prancing around for the amusement of visitors (all three, most likely) what would be her position? Although as a homemaker a home of sorts would be created, in line with the homeowner's expectations, this would not be a Godly home. For those looking to marry it is so important that God's example is followed in any commandments one receives and is thus obliged to follow. Perhaps if the deaconess were available to advise in this respect, that would be helpful, preferably before any engagement, with Pastor taking the gentleman to one side perhaps for a weekend retreat to glean his standing in Christ, there being so many heretics "on the market" in these last days.

I was sad because I had no shoes, but then I saw a man who had no socks.

Did someone ask what Ahab did?

Brother, I don't know what Harrison Butke or Jesus thinks of Ahab, Ray Stevens, or any of this, but as for me and my house, we're retreating into out split-level pad and praying the sun will come out tomorrow.
