Top Ten Reasons I Like Dr. D. Gnostic Hart and his blog,
11.) A constant reminder to be gentle and tender towards and with women who are on their cycle
10.) Every Holmes needs a Moriarty to bring out the best in him. Still looking for my Moriarty.
9.) My home-run totals are at “Hall of Fame” proportions because they let the guy with the “hanging curve-ball” play
8.) Never a need to worry about losing my Muse
7.) Everybody needs a living “Wizard of Oz” to remind him of the principle of impotent men with large egos
6.) Allows me to practice receiving him that is weak in the faith and to bear the faults of one another
5.) Every day is a new day to Praise God that I escaped being lobotomized
4.) How could the virtue of compassion be cultivated if there were not some people to pity?
3.) The constant living reminder why it was a good idea NOT to go for the Ph.D since Ph.D. programs have been so terribly dumbed-down
2.) Reminds me to pray for the Church which is by schisms rent asunder, and by heresies distressed.
And the number 1 reason why I like Dr. D. Gnostic Hart and his blog,
1.) Provides a daily reminder that old heresies like Gnosticism are constantly reinvented

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.

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.

Please expound on what you mean by “impotent”.
Eric,
That is a really strange question to ask.
Somehow there is a fitting correspondence between impotent and Gnosticism don’t you think?
