Covenant Family

“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.”

What we Believe

Contra the Marxist convictions of the Black Lives Matter organization
children are born into the web of pre-existing relationships. They are silken cords that are connected to the past through their Kin and are silken cords that will connect kin past to kin yet to come so that the generations together form a trans-generational web of unity. This is the idea of covenant. We are not born atomistically, belonging to ourselves. We are born belonging to God and so to God’s family — a family which begins with — but isn’t limited to our blood family. Part of the idea of covenant is that we are organically related and connected through Christ and to each other so that with the birth of each new child the covenant web continues to connect the honored past with the gloriously anticipated future.

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.

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. Beautifully stated,Pastor.Short ,sweet, accurate. This needs to be framed and put in homes and churches.Thanks for being a most articulate Christian Apologist with a truly Biblical perspective. Keep being that watchman on the wall.God has gifted you and the sheep out here all over the world are the better off for it. The moral and cultural cancers afflicting this world are vile beyond words,numerous and dark.For those of us over 60( we are about the same age)who recall days of some measure of purity,honesty and innocence (though not perfect)we truly mourn the evils permeating.It grieves the soul so deeply ,as Jeremiah felt.Yet God is faithful and he does have his remnant.Truly iron does sharpen iron. You are my favorite writer because the perspective is Scriptural,insights spot on and very courageous in the midst of attacks.It is easy to stay silent.Thank God for modern day Elijahs and Joshuas. Thanks,brother. Press on! Christ rules now and forever.Amen.Godspeed!
