I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

Here are two links to two articles written by men I consider friends. I consider these articles top flight and since they each deal with a theme I’m constantly returning to I post them here for your edification.

The first is by Darrell Dow on the subject of Nationalism. Darrell and another chap (Thomas Achord) recently released an Anthology on Kinism titled, “Who is my Neighbor; An Anthology In Natural Relations.” This book is nearly 700 pages long and it provides one quote after another culled from authors (both Christian and Pagan) from Ancient History to modern times, which demonstrate that the doctrines of Kinism have been what all men in all times and in all places have believed. This work is a spear through the heart of the Alienism promoted by the likes of Bojidar Marinov, Joel McDurmon, Gary North, Adam Brink, Steven Hallbrook, and most pastors in most pulpits across America on any given Sunday. I strongly encourage you to purchase this work.

Here is the link to Darrell’s article on Nationalism;

The second article I am linking to is from a friend named Stuart DiNenno. Stuart is a Southerner who needs to be listened to. We disagree on regulative principle types of issues (Stuart leans Covenanter) but on most issues we are quite compatible. In the article linked below Stuart takes aim at the worthlessness of the contemporary Reformed clergy arguing that most of these men don’t even know the dangers that their people and Christianity are facing in this zeitgeist. I could only wish I had written this piece. I agree with it 100%.

Happy Reading.

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. View all posts by jetbrane
