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.

Just as a matter of record.
I did some inquiries on Rev. Dr. Leslie Holmes and found out that he is a Churchmen connected with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church denomination (ARP). Upon further inquiry it was discovered that Leslie Holmes, less than a year ago vigorously and some might say viciously went after another blogger because the blogger dared to suggest that a minister in Holmes’s denomination, and whom Holmes was friends with, was guilty of a ministerial malfeasance that the blogger believed was not proper and was being swept under the rug in a ministerial good old boy system.
The reason this is pertinent is because Rev. Holmes of the ARP out of the blue showed up here saying, ” We would like to support you,” a couple days after I posted an article exposing one of Rev. Holmes ARP churches (1st Presbyterian – Columbia, SC) for repudiating James Henley Thornwell (a former 1st Pres. pastor) and Benjamin Morgan Palmer. Interestingly, the Pastor of 1st Pres. (the Church I exposed) is the same Pastor that Rev. Holmes defended in such an exercised manner a year ago. There is no way I can know this for sure but it sure seems to be the case that Rev. Holmes never had any intent to support me but rather was interested in possibly giving me the same treatment that he gave the earlier mentioned blogger from a year ago. If this is true, and there is no way to prove it is true, then Rev. Holmes was involved in seeking to deceive me and so was violating the 9th commandment.
