Oh, let the nations be glad & sing for joy!"

I'm so excited! My new book will be out soon, most likely in the next few weeks. Keep an eye out for it.
Lord God, we come to intercede for your Church and world. We ask you to strengthen this congregation that in doing all things without complaining and disputing, we may become increasingly blameless, pure in quality, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation (Philippians 2:14-15). Be pleased to make us even more harmonious and to become more clearly a sign of grace to our fractured and fragmented world. Also, add to this church such as are being saved; and add to us in such a way as will mirror the new heavens and new earth, reflecting the new Jerusalem in which will dwell people from every tribe, tongue, nationality, and economic strata, gathered around your throne exalting you and hearing you say, “ Behold, I am making all things new ” (Revelation 21:1-5)! We ask for your ongoing help, strength, protection, deliverance and sustenance of your Church throughout the world, especially in places where she is being abused and persecuted; but als...
As a young believer I spent years in the rise of the Moral Majority, the culture wars, and political and social conservatism. I cut my teeth on R.J. Rushdoony, Gary North, David Chilton, and others. I embraced much of Francis Schaeffer's material as I could get my mind around, and so much more. So, I was interested in reading this 110-page hardback "King of Kings: A Reformed Guide to Christian Politics" by James Baird, a pastor at Covenant Church (PCA) in Naples, Florida.

A monolithic view of the founders. There's no thoughtful reflection on how the founders had absorbed John Locke's view of 'religion' as a utilitarian good (use religion to promote the national wellbeing, not because one religion or the other is right). Much like the atheists who now call themselves 'c...
(One Way to Pray the Ten Commandments for Our Nation) Since righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14:34), and because our nation is celebrating its 250 th Anniversary soon, we earnestly and heartily pray to you, O reigning God, for our country. Reflecting on the Ten Commandments, your law of liberty, we pray first and foremost ( Preface ) that all in this land would come to know that you are the life-giving, liberty-giving God, and that all would be set free and made alive in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. We also pray ( 1 st ) that all of us who are citizens and inhabitants of this land would come to know, trust and have you as the only true and living God. That we would ( 2 nd ) avoid all idolatry and worship you properly, from the State house to our house. That we would ( 3 rd ) treat your name with fear and reverence and honor your Word and works. We also implore you ( 4 th ) to work on our whole populat...
