Public Service Announcement from Baptists For the Maintenance Of Room Temperature IQ

Setting: A lovely middle class living room complete with a bookshelf of library books against one wall with a collection of Hummels on another wall.

Music: Something softly classical with a thoughtful theme

A handsomely dressed 30 year old married Christian couple enters into the room. Their two children (boy and girl) are playing at their feet.Alternately they read their assigned parts from the Script…

“Have you ever considered that your children are aliens and strangers to the household of God?”

“Are you convinced that living in a nation governed either by God’s Natural Law or more especially Gods revealed law would be a tragic mistake?”

“Do you have absolutely zero ability to distinguish between a Biblical Nationalism and a unbiblical nationalism?”

“Are you convinced that the Crusades were blasphemous and a stain on the Church?”

“Do you think Doug Wilson is brilliant in combining Baptist churches with non-Baptists?”

Do you think that James White is God’s special gift to the Church?”

If you said “yes” to any of these questions then the Baptist faith may be just the faith for you.

We here among the Baptists pride ourselves in our break with the Church’s historical past… we labor hard at making sure that everyone knows that God is pleased with Democratic pluralism …. we take it as a mark of achievement that we don’t encourage our children to think of themselves as Christian until they decide for themselves.

There is always room for one more family in the Baptist faith.

Won’t you be that one more family?

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.
