There’s No Christendom Now?

All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there’s no Christendom now
(There’s no Christendom now)
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore

All the trusts have been sold

All the fire is now cold
There’s no Christendom now
(There’s no Christendom now)
All the troth that were made and broke
Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore

All the blood that once tied

Man to Man has now died
There’s no Christendom now
(There’s no Christendom now)
All the clans that were bold and strong
Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore

The prayers once asked

Are they part of the past?
Is there no Christendom now
(Is there no Christendom now)
Still, God remembers the pleas of yore
So somehow it all still matters very much anymore

As long as there’s a King

My voice will still now sing
There is a Christendom now
(There is a Christendom now)
God will arise and His enemies retreat
So somehow it all still matters very much anymore

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C. Van Til, H. Van Til, G. H. Clark, C. Dawson, H. Berman, R. Nash, C. G. Singer, R. Kipling, G. North, J. Edwards, S. Foote, F. Hayek, O. Guiness, J. Witte, M. Rothbard, Clyde Wilson, Mencken, Lasch, Postman, Gatto, T. Boston, Thomas Brooks, Terry Brooks, C. Hodge, J. Calhoun, Llyod-Jones, T. Sowell, A. McClaren, M. Muggeridge, C. F. H. Henry, F. Swarz, M. Henry, G. Marten, P. Schaff, T. S. Elliott, K. Van Hoozer, K. Gentry, etc. My passion is to write in such a way that the Lord Christ might be pleased. It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

  1. Only through Holy Spirit can the faithful communities of old live again. For example, the long-suffering churches of Asia Minor (like Smyrna and Philadelphia) that were addressed to in the early part of the Book of Revelation are no longer with us in flesh, but in spirit.

    As G.K. Chesterton put it:

    “Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a god who knew the way out of the
    grave.”
