The day of wrath, that dreadful day,
when God did have his final say,
His justice and mercy each had their way,
The wrath of man did but reflect
The wrath of God in this respect
Forsaken, abandoned — Divine neglect
What horror did then invade the mind
Of He who came His sheep to find
And who paid the debt, for His kind?
But no unwilling victim, this sacrifice
He staged the players as His device
To orchestrate His redemption price
Judas’ sordid kiss of treachery
The disregard of Pilate’s plea
The vision of Mary at His knee
Yearly we call this Friday “good,”
And mark His hanging on the wood
And are nourished with Him as our food
Divine jurisprudence satisfied
His death, the death that His people died
We are the blood flowing from His side
His work still doth intercede
For our access He still doth plead
And for our comfort He remains our need
Impervious to alien guilt and guile
Thrown at us by the Serpent’s wile
Animated only by forgiveness’s smile
Now, at the word of His command
We call for all to meet His demand
Be reconciled, that ye may in judgment stand
The day of wrath, that dreadful day,
when God did have his final say,
His justice and mercy each had their way,

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.

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.
