There Is No Christendom Now

All the stories have been told
Of our heroes and men of old
But there’s no Christendom now
Lost to us all our legacy somehow
Replaced by aliens now in our fold
There’s no Christendom now

All the wars fought for the King
All the songs that we would sing
But there’s no Christendom here
The memory is no longer in our seed
No impulse to fight for King and creed
There’s no Christendom now

The few Warriors who now remain
Lead ghosts in their military train
There is no Christendom now
Instead minister imps mount their desk
Rail against past Christendom grotesque
There’s no Christendom now

The Prophet erudite who would rally
The rank -n- file to battle finale
Find there’s no Christendom now
No faith to animate shield and sword
Instead reasons as why it is untoward
To fight for Christendom now

But a future day is sure to come
When men again will sound the drum
And there will be Christendom again
The wicked will die or mercy plead
And gladly makes pledges and accede
To Christendom once again

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. The rhythm plods slow
    Revealing menacing know
    Minds remembering how
    When tried and tested bows
    Piercings made against the foe
    Light days no need to line-toe
    Freedoms without the frown
    Now dimming vision takes brown
    Facing the dirt sees eyes of doe
    Where the deer hostage show
