A Note to POTUS
26 January, 2021 Dear President Biden, Has it not been told you? Have you not heard? You are disgusting in the sight of God.

Church Discipline in America 2021

Unpopular, even despised, as such an ideologue would be, his attempt at membership would be denied. Indeed, he would most likely be asked […]

She Hid Those Spies
You gotta lie like Rahab sometimes If you want to please the Lord. There’s a time to tell the truth And a time to lie like a sleuth. That Jericho king wanted her to sing, But Rahab had better things to do. Had the Lord to obey and people to save. In some stalks of […]
