The Dems Ain’t
The Dems ain’tWhat they used to be. There’s a thing we call apostasy When folks leave basic principles Of Right and Wrong And wander off as If high on a bong Floating from notion to notion With no idea what to do With that life in a mom. Just a “crisis” or a “choice” Got […]

On “Infanticide” Etc.
Infanticide, like homicide, is still the taking of human life. Whether the infant is newly conceived, about the be born or recently born, the intentional taking of its life is still – murder. No fancy verbiage or deceit by euphemism changes the fact. The stubborn human heart – which resists the plain truth – is […]

They Call It “Natural”
They call it “natural” That death that takes us all. ‘Tis the bane of our existence Plaguing the race since the Fall. We pass our days in rush and hurry Driven by that zeal To get it all done Before we’re buried. And when we make that final run Nothing counts But to have followed […]

Homelessness
Simply summarized, it is inspired by family breakdown; which is the product of that cool, progressive, Godless movement which propagated sex outside of marriage. Indeed, the de-sacralization of marriage – the holy institution where sex is exclusively, as a holy association, to be had – is the true “root cause” of the contemporary break down […]

Answered Prayer Delayed
(Deuteronomy 7:22 Poetized) Think of all the times when Answered prayer was delayed. Oh the whining and the moaning The groaning for our wishes To be fulfilled on our table Of time. But what a crimeIt should be (And we shall see!) The folly of our own wants Displayed in the haunts Of our personal […]

Reading that Lexicon
Reading along in my lexicon I came across a word Most absurd it would seem. “Ekthesis” it is. Oh, how coarse And yet, back then, so normal So regular, however morose. “A putting out, exposing” It reads – but of what? A child indeed – “a child”! Barbaric seems not Sufficient a word to tell […]

On the Next Abortionist Extirpation
Are we ready when it happens? When God raises up a martyr who gives his live to save others, are we ready to come to his defense and urge for his vindication? Where do we stand on the issue of terminating unwanted abortionists? Do we defend those who abort abortionists? Do we uphold the right […]

Moments in Time
We worship moments in time Memories, places, pictures sublime. Yet it is we, who were created. The Maker is our worship owed Throughout our days in this abode. The lust for things of earth Spinning before us since birth Has no place of import, Driving us to abort, Weed to smoke and coke to snort. […]

Holocaust Deniers
Back in the days of WW II, and following, there were those who denied that the murder of Jews actually took place! What buffoons! What ignoramuses! What liars! Ah but the human condition – or the prevalence of the same kinds of people in the population – has not changed. We have those of the […]

Grace Trumps Choice
Thanks Be to God! He “hardens hearts” – that are already bent against Him (as are all “natural” hearts since the fall in Adam). He did not pervert that which was already perverted by Adam’s rebellion! And neither did He make hard that which was “soft” – and receptive and obedient and holy and righteous! […]

The titular word – “ekthesis” – is defined by Liddell and Scott in their classic Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon (seven editions as of 1975) as follows: “a putting out, exposing, of a child” – and the […]
