The Compromise of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer Lectionary

By Davis Carlton

As a Christian father I want to impart a love of Scripture in my children. My children are currently young so most of their knowledge of the Bible comes from reading stories in Children’s Bibles or listening to the songs on Bible singalong CDs that inevitably drive parents crazy during long car rides. These certainly have their place but children also need to grow into a deeper appreciation for the Bible. To this end I’ve been using the 1928 Book of Common Prayer daily office lectionary as a jumping off point for regular Bible reading. I appreciate the elegance of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) in its incorporation of certain traditional prayers and Christian practices while also being firmly rooted in sound theology. read more

Team Alienist Loses Its Collective Spit. I Personally Don’t Have a Problem With That.

By Colby Malsbury

In ancient Rome, the pagan festival of Lupercalia was held in the middle of February. Derived from an even older Greek festival that venerated wolves, it paid homage to Romulus and Remus, the mythological twins who founded the Roman kingdom after having suckled lupine teats during their formative years. The bacchanal has ever since been associated with lycanthropy, and to this day ultra-nerdy werewolf cultists celebrate it via furry cosplay.

This is the only logical explanation for the feral stupidity our enemies have seen fit to engage in, both without and within their camp, over this past month. I haven’t seen so much heresy, guttersniping, and feet entrenched firmly in mouths since the last international climate change conference. read more

The Immanence of Biblical Nationalism, Part II – the Systematic Approach

By Bret McAtee

Read Part I here.

In the previous entry we took a look at the presence of nations in the Scripture. Methodologically speaking, we used a biblical-theological approach to consider the presence of nations in God’s plan as revealed in Scripture. In using a Biblical-theological approach we traced the theme of nations in the Scripture starting in Genesis and we allowed the Biblical text to reveal the growth of the theme of nations from an acorn in Genesis 10 to the full grown oak in Revelation 21 and 22. As a method, Biblical theology takes a theme and traces its progress and growth from seed form to full grown stratus. The Biblical-theological method can be used for any number of subjects from tracing the scarlet thread of redemption through the Scripture starting with Genesis 3:15 to tracing the theme of covenant or kingdom or the church or the tabernacle. When I think of this methodology I think of time-lapse photography. Time-lapse photography can take a large sequence of time and condense it so we can see the highlights of that time, editing out everything except the theme that the photographer is focusing on. read more

A Refutation of a Terrible Article on Why Biblical Arguments Against Borders Are Terrible

By Colby Malsbury

What’s Joel McDurmon been up to ever since leaving the equivalent of an unsavory piece of solid organic material floating in the swimming pool of American Vision? Well, as he’s a man on a mission, just like his erstwhile mentors the Blues Brothers, he had to find an alternate venue from which to make mock at his God and his forebears, so he concocted the Lamb’s Reign website, an aesthetically appealing forum (dig that panoramic mountain vid on the home page!), but one as devoid of Christian truth as any Communist front church organization of the 1930s. The leopard has not changed his spots one iota. Let’s hope the site is at least monetized, so McDurr can afford to buy comfy beanbag chairs to sulk in when the rest of us fail to appreciate his impetuous cutting edge genius. read more

The Trauma of the Truth: How Average People Respond to Nationalism For Whites

By Davis Carlton

I occasionally watch clips from Catholic Answers Live on YouTube because I find some of the conversations on theological topics to be interesting. My primary interest is typically on Catholic justifications for the authority of the Roman Magisterium (which I find to be weak but nevertheless still interesting). I ran across a particular episode of Catholic Answers in which the first question fielded in the second hour was on the topic of white nationalism. The relevant clip spans from 1:02:59 to 1:17:06. The show is hosted by Cy Kellett who typically fields questions that have cleared a call screener and turns them over to a guest apologist who is either a layman or a priest. read more

Keep a Candle in the Window: An Answer to an OPC Minister Concerning Claims from His Son’s Teacher

By Ehud Would

I recently received a private communique from an OPC minister grappling with the Marxist bent of his son’s “Christian school”. Yes, you read that right. Christian schools are now but another mouthpiece for Marxist zeitgeist. Incredible as that is.

Since my response reiterates the content of the pastor’s letter, I have here omitted the original in favor of my reply.

“I’m sorry to hear [your son] has this stuff coming his way. But I’m glad you’re not just rolling over to the secular narrative.

Scapegoating Your Ancestors: A Response to Reed DePace

By Davis Carlton

The Gospel Coalition continues its agenda of blaming all of America’s problems, past and present, on the ubiquitous evils of white people. Ron Burns has posted an article authored by Presbyterian pastor Reed DePace on his congregation’s “repentance” for their evil racist past. Interestingly, DePace considers himself “Hispanic American,” so when he mentions the sins of “our forefathers” he’s really talking about your white forefathers. DePace pastors Historic First Presbyterian Church, founded in downtown Montgomery, Alabama in 1824 and now affiliated with the PCA. DePace describes the perennial success of the church which at its apogee in the 1920s reached a membership of 2,000 and maintained a membership of 1,100 as late as 1961. After this point the church experienced a precipitous decline and today only boasts about 50 active members. This naturally caused DePace and the leadership to inquire as to what has been going wrong. Why has God seemingly cursed their ministry efforts? read more

The Frivolous Factionalism of ‘Shut Up, Millennial!’ ‘OK, Boomer!’

By Colby Malsbury

(Author’s note: the following article does not represent individual Boomers or Millennials who are committed Christians – both of whom I count as valuable kith and kin.)

Hey kids!

Did you know that baby boomers are a generation of grubby parasites who had the world handed to them on a silver platter to such an extent that they finagled economic booms and busts to their credit all their working lives, allowing them to take a very early and very cushy retirement, allowing them ample opportunity to globe-hop the world picking up exotic mail order brides and bemoaning the fact that younger folks weren’t picking up extra shifts down at the Apple factory or wherever they’re working these days in order to keep the Social Security gravy train on the rails in perpetuity? read more

The Immanence of Biblical Nationalism, Part I

By Bret McAtee

In Genesis 10 we have recorded the table of Nations. Chapter 10 ends with these words:

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, BY THEIR NATIONS; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.

Genesis 10 is the effect of the cause that is listed in chapter 10 and is placed out of order in order to put chapters 11 and 12 in stark contrast. (Nimrod and Babel seeking to make a name for themselves and Abraham being promised by God to make a name for him.) read more

Doug Wilson: Straddling the Fence, and Falling Off Both Sides at Once

By Bret McAtee

“There are alternatives to Tribalism; whether we are talking about massive tribes of white liberals or micro tribes of city league bowlers in Topeka. On the secular side of things those alternatives would include massive Nationalist ideologies like “Nazism,” or Internationalist ideologies – Communism, which is the kind of thing that happens when tribalism tries to scale. Mass ideologies, like petty tribalism, demand loyalty and empathy and to hell with outsiders. The only real alternative to an insider vs. outsider mentality is the Christian faith. Because the claims of Christ are ultimate because He is the head of the Church these claims originate from outside the cosmos, which means His claims trump every other claim. I have a tighter bond with someone who is baptized in the Triune name but who lives in Tehran than I do with my next door neighbor who is not baptized. read more
