Kipling Meets McAtee / 2020

As I study World history – every age and each race,
I notice the Triune Sovereign God is routinely kicked out of His place
As the various cultures are traced in their rise and then their fall
The God of the Bible, I notice, alone outlasts them all

We were living with borders when God called us. He showed us each in our stations
That strangers would certainly destroy us if we disregarded the need for nations
But we found Him lacking in PC, and insisted that He was most blind
So we crafted a New World Order that intended to leave God behind

We moved as our hormones drove us. God remained revealed in His Word
Our strange wives and bastard children demonstrated we were absurd
We insisted that family was malleable, it was a social construct we could leave

Only later to discover God was right when he said “every Adam must have his Eve.”

With illusions we created our world and, God was singularly unimpressed
He denied that gender was uncertain, so commanded that queers be oppressed
He denied that sodomites could marry, He denied Trannies should be a norm
So in our insistence on these illusions he sent a Beelzebub storm

The Ashtoreths, Molechs and Baals promised only upward economic growth
But we discovered that money trees were a fancy and that they were all false to their oaths
We discovered that credit can’t be eternal and that money has to be backed
And the God of the Bible said, “paper money and debt economies will certainly one day crack”

When Noah came descending from the ark after the deeps combined for the global flood
God’s Rainbow was arching with God’s promise and Noah’s sacrifices poured out their blood
But the sodomites stole God’s rainbow and made it their symbol instead
And the God of the Bible spoke, “the man who sleeps with a man is dead.”

When the Marxist progressives were campaigning they cast a vision of tranquility without guns
They promised if we surrendered our weapons, it would save our daughters and sons
They promised that we would be happy, and that violence would certainly decrease
But the God of the Bible said to the contrary, “Pacifism means war and not peace.”

The Ashtoreths, Molechs and Baals insisted that their lugenpresse we could trust
They promised that lugenpresse outlets would tell the truth, give wisdom, and be just
They promised that lugenpresse would never lie, dissimulate or spin
But the God of the Bible said to the contrary, “listening to known liars is sin.”

Certain as the sun rising, certain as the death of all men
There is a foursome that will be constant regardless of where and when
That the slothful will soon be poor, and the fool will wisdom abjure
And that the wicked will be certain to be profligate, injurious and impure


And fourth and most of all we can be as certain as sure as the night follows day
That man who sows the wind will with the whirlwind find his pay
As sure as whatsoever a man soweth that he will also reap
The God of the Bible will not slumber, and neither will He sleep!

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.

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.
