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. The Church is Israel Now – The Transfer of Conditional Privelege by Charles D. Provan. Great little book: the Bible texts with bolding, plus comments.

  2. Just finished my morning prayer time. One of my prayer requests was to have a better understanding of who Israel is. My Pastor is going through Jeremiah for a few weeks now. I have had questions about the Jeremiah 31:31 – 34 passage. This was very helpful.

    Thank you,
    Don B.

    1. Only the elect were Israel back in the first century and before. Apostle Paul is clear if you are Christs
      you are the seed of Abraham. If you were never in Christ you cannot be an Israelite.

      All is Israel is not Israel, and they say they are Jews but are not.

      A true jew never had anything to do with dna. The sons of Abraham were always spiritual.

      1. Here is the actual Scripture quote

        For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,

        A true Jew is related to DNA. However, DNA alone does not translate in belonging to the people of God.

        I think that is a more nuanced position then what you wrote above.
