April is Confederate History Month — A Prayer

Blessed Magnificent Dread God, we are not deserving of your favor and your judgments against us are altogether true, but out of thy great love and mercy for your Son and His brethren would you not raise up another generation of Lees and Jacksons, Dabneys and Palmers, Stephensons and Breckinridges, for thy cause and thy people? Would you not fill us again with the desperate desire for liberty? Would you not cause us to once again connect the dots between being owned by no man save you and being free men. Benevolent Father, we pine for leadership. Send forth thy Spirit to renew us and raise up again, we beg of thee, a faithful band of men and women who, confident of your faithfulness to them for the sake of Christ alone, fear nothing.

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. Bret,
    I attempted to post this on my fb page as well… it posted the first part but not the balance in the comment section.
    all that to say…
    This is a wonderful prayer. You are inspiring to me personally with your thoughts written out for me to view and consider… along with your prayers.
    Thanks
