Apologetics
Our Heretic in Chief
Is the most prominent of heretics in public life. He is there for everyone to observe, constantly displaying the Church’s tolerance, rather than confrontation, of evil. What keeps pious members on the rolls? Why not properly renounce membership, praying for repentance while properly maintaining membership in a holy Church? There are plenty of Trinitarian churches […]

An Endurance Level for Evil?
People seem to have a certain endurance level for evil; Then comes a time when it just cannot be endured. It must be eliminated; relief must be secured! And when comes that point of intolerance When truth and justice cannot any longer be put off? What is that straw which breaks the back of evil […]

When the Law of God is Abandoned
When Christians of a nation Forsake their alliance around the Law, Sodomites rise and take their place Forming a union around their freedom To abominate the land with their sin, All in the name of a new kind of liberty. Selfish perversion is the new core: The value is cherished by the decadent. It is […]

The History
Evildoers there have always been Since Adam tumbled back in the glen When the world fell into that darkness Under the weight of his universal sin. Hopeless without the sacrificial Savior, His descendants wallowed in shame Casting upon one another their blame. Then came the One who would deliver The world from its smarmy floundering […]

Christ Mass?
We generally associate a “Mass” with the death of Christ for our sins by which we are given life.

National Civility
The essence of civility is the condition where the affirmation of good and denunciation of evil is carried out in public. Justice is not a private matter, but one which is acknowledged in law and visible to the public. In the cases of sodomy and abortion, we, as a nation, no longer denounce the murder […]

From Time to Time
From time to time God delivers His own into the hands of His enemies to serve as a witness. How is this? Just as Jesus was delivered into the hands of evil-doers to bear witness to the grace of God, so His followers are so delivered. When abused and persecuted by those who hate the […]

Encounter with an Honest Mormon
Mormon: “There is only one God [with whom we have to do]” (but we believe in many gods; we are polytheists like the pagans of old, says the honest Mormon in his heart). Christian: “Good to hear that! And who is this God but the One: Father, Son, and Spirit who lives as love, almightily, […]

A Near-Death Meditation:
As you face death, receive the fact – empirical, scientific, historical – of the resurrection of Jesus, and weigh the implications thereof for an alternate resolution for life’s meaning. Importune the Holy One, the Almighty, the Three-in-one for mercy and salvation. ‘Tis true! The Gospel is much more attractive to us sinners than to those […]

Toleration of Evil and Then . . .?
