Advancing the Kingdom- In Politics

Compatriots;
It has been a long time, I have been working crazy hours, and have been busy with many other things as well. However, I guess it is time to get back to blogging.

Today I would like to write on advancing the Kingdom of God in politics.

Several Lord's Days ago I heard a life-changing sermon by my Pastor (you can listen to the sermon at http://www.thereformedchurch.net/sermons/singlesermon/10158) about doing all things for the Kingdom. There should not be an atom of our beings not dedicated to the Lord and His service. Every one of our actions should be geared towards one thing, advancing Christ's Kingdom.

I applied this to an area of my life that has always been important to me, politics. My interest in politics has waned quite a bit in the last few years, mostly because it had become my religion and the Lord convicted me through the preaching of His Word that I had made it an idol. However, I now am of the conviction that Christians should passionately pursue politics, but for a different reason than I used to.

I looked to advance the Glory of the South, or in many cases the "Kingdom of Limited Government". While the South is my home, and country, and while limited government is most certainly the most sound political belief, that should not be what we advance in politics.

We should use politics for one reason, to advance the Kingdom of God.

Now that we have established that fact, how do we carry it out? The answers to this are far too many to post, but the one thing I want to establish is our motivations.

If the reason we do anything is not to glorify God Almighty, and advance His Kingdom, it is sin.

We are not papists who claim that there is a "secular" part of our life, and a "sacred" part of our life, we are Christians. Christ purchased His elect with His Blood, and He was propitiation for their sins, and their sinful nature. There is not an atom of our being that does not belong to Him alone.

I would like to encourage young men interested in politics to continue to pursue it, but for Christ and His glory. We would cringe to see the Ecclesiastical government taken over by heathens, why do we allow the civil government to be taken over by the heathen without a fight?

Let us take dominion, and establish the Kingdom of Christ in the political realm!

Deo Vindice.

Apologies

Compatriots;
I would like to apologize for not posting my sermon reviews on baptism. The Spring rush, and Hay season came around, and I am barely finding time to sleep these days. I will post the links to all of the sermons, and I encourage y'all to read them. I will post shorter posts from time to time, and attempt to do a review like I was planning this fall or winter when I have more time. Thanks for reading,

Rev. Edward Donnelly - Sermon Review

Compatriots;
I am going to begin a six part series doing a review on Rev. Edward Donnelly's sermon series on Baptism. Pastor Donnelly does a wonderful job defending the doctrinally sound view on the sacrament of baptism. I grew up a Credo-Baptist, but in the last several years the Lord has led me to the doctrines of the Reformed faith, and thus Paedo-Baptism. This is one of the sermon series that helped to seal my belief in Paedo-Baptism. In this six part series I will post the link to the Sermon I will be reviewing, and a day later (maybe two or three days later) I will post my review. These sermons are only about half an hour long, and are free to listen too, or download to your computer. I encourage y'all to listen, and then read my review.

I hope this helps any of y'all that are struggling with which application of baptism is the proper one.

The Evolutionary Invention of Adolecence

Compatriots;
Today I would like to write on an issue that has always been important to me - the creation of "teenagers" and the destruction of men and ladies.

In the Post-Christian society we live in today, there is a phenomenon called adolescence that has its roots, not in the Bible, but in Darwinist Evolutionary social theory.

(Today I will focus mainly on the men, but most of this post will be able to be applied to ladies too)

Today we see "guys" (see previous post - Men vs. Guys) who are refusing the responsibility and duties of manhood, while expecting some higher status than a "boy". Therefore, they have adopted the title "teen" or "adolescent". An adolescent is a male with the maturity, responsibility, and duties of a BOY, who expects the treatment and privileges of a MAN.

However, in the old days, this was not so. Boys became men, not teens. There were 14 year olds going to war, running farms, and men not much older, marrying and leading families. They were forced to assume the maturity, responsibilities, and duties of manhood; and thus they received the treatment, and privileges of manhood.

So what happened?

Somewhere around the time of the Industrial Revolution, men like G. Stanley Hall, William James, and John Dewey etc decided to apply a new religious belief system called Darwinism to social and familial construct. Thus adolescence came about.

The theory of men like Hall was that the growth of a child, repeated the process of evolution. The being started as a single cell, and slowly evolved into a complete human at around the age of 18. The first 5 years represent a certain evolutionary period, the next 7 another period, and so on until adulthood.

This Darwinian theory is from where the phenomenon of adolescence comes. Do we really want to further these wicked theories?

Why do Christian parents foster these false "stages" of growth? Why do many churches foster this Darwinian belief through age segregated church services? And most of all, why do parent's send their children to public schools to be treated as "adolescents", and be encouraged to remain children and not grow into men (Many times until their mid-30s).


Men, it is time to grow up. Video games, "hanging out" at the mall, and doing other frivolous, childish activities are for CHILDREN. Its time to become men, put away childish things, and forget this foolish notion of adolescence.

New Name Suggestions

Compatriots;
I figured I would do in the latest "thing" and rename my blog. I have entertained thoughts of this for a while, somewhat because I am not as into the Southern Nationalist movement as I once was, and because I thought using my blog to promote the Kingdom of God on this earth would be far better than trying promote Southern Nationalist views. The fact that the Southern people are not a distinct people, or worthy of nationhood is not the issue, my beliefs are close to the same as before, but I am a citizen of the Kingdom of God before I am a Southron. This blog will still be used to post on issues of politics, world events etc however I will focus more on theological issues than before, and the political posts will be done with the Kingdom in view, not Southron Independence. Anyways, I am putting the option up for all my readers to chime in and give suggestions.

Thanks,

Bread and Circuses

Hey Y'all,
Today I am going to write a short post speaking out against the South's Number 2 Religion, Professional Football (SEC Football is number 1). This upcoming Lord's Day, in many churches across the nation pastors will be preaching "Super Bowl Related" "sermons", church services will be re-scheduled so their members can watch 22 young men defile the Sabbath and be praised for it. God's day will be blasphemed because churches and clergy care more about membership numbers and being "culturally relevant" instead of serving the Lord. Watching football for 3 hours on a Saturday is bad enough, but going to the lengths commonly practised by many evangelical churches today is down right wrong. If you have never considered the ramifications of these above actions, I urge you to consider them now. The church is in bad enough shape today, even without the frivolous and ungodly wastes of time Christians consume themselves with.

Deo Vindice.

Once Upon a Time, Men Wore the Pants

Just a quick picture post. If I wore dress pants more than I do, I would buy all dockers. You don't see many companies with ads like this.
