“Homelessness”
14 March, 2020 It is not any more or less respectable than joblessness or “friendlessness.” The underlying question is, “Why?” Is a vagrant’s vagrancy a result of a calamity or a product of dereliction of duty? Does the vagrant have no friend because his is a friend to no one? Or is all the world […]

Hood Cashes in on the Tithe-Blessing Heresy
9 March, 2020 One way for an aspiring Christian writer to get his name out in public and to get “something published” is to write about tithing. Churches seem to love to circulate such among their members to fan the giving fever from time to time to keep the money rolling in. Hood’s Take God […]

Scott Roeder Still Locked Away in 2020
Jonathan O’Toole has provided an excellent tribute to the work of Scott Roeder re his service to humanity, viz., the termination of abortionist George Tiller, for which, to the shame of the nation, Roeder remains imprisoned. You will enjoy a resurrected song from THE Elvis, reformulated and delivered with skill and style. Here is the […]

Morning meditation
28 Feb., 2020 On Our Stay Among “Believer Baptizers” We have enjoyed our fellowship and our membership in a church here in Ohio which baptizes only those who “believe” (confessing their faith) and excludes the children of those believers from baptism until such time as they “feel” saved and affirm the faith in which they […]

Wanderers
We wander and wander Wander as if we had no wits Wander, wander, wander Looking for butts and tits. The Lord is above looking, Calling us up to Him. But we look down And all around Searching for sights and feeling. The world is bare! Avoid the snare Of searching and tasting and seeing. Being […]

Not a “Homophobe”
Re: https://www.thoughtco.com/why-some-conservatives-oppose-gay-marriage-3303437 Nope. Not afraid of ’em. Never thought sodomy was a good idea. Never found it appealing, must less the right thing to do. But more important than my sentiments are God’s opinions, sentiments, and His Declaration. Indeed, it is not “my opinion” on which I rest my case and mind-set and orientation. It […]

The Sordid Judges of the Righteous
19 February, 2020 Consider the benighted prosecutors and judges who execute judgment against clinic bombers, and slayers of baby murderers (a.k.a. abortionists and, as the prevaricative expression goes, those good doctors who were just “doing their job”!) Sick puppies, indeed. But how will they fare on that Day. That day of Judgment will not be […]

Reflections on Hedonism
30 January, 2020 How deceitful pleasure can be! When we put our own comfort and joys and situations ahead of right and truth and suffering. All the discomfort and pain which might have served to correct and strengthen our souls is avoided and shunned in preference for pleasure and comfort. Lactantius, a church father of […]

Got to Take a Schiff!
25 Jan., 2020 Oh Mercy! Got to Take a Schiff! Adam Schiff’s disgraceful whining against our President makes me want to apply his name in memorial fashion in “honor” of his baseless, political machinations – as in “I need to take a schiff right now! We are inspired to defecate. Yes, let us relieve ourselves […]

SCOTUS Rules the Nation?
21 January, 2020 This tyranny is such that the nation sits on its firearms rather than raise them in defense of the innocents? How long? Kick SCOTUS in the buttocks and save the babies! What tyranny is this that the Congress and the Executive and all the fifty governors of the states in this union […]

A Letter to Scott Roeder
3 Dec., 2019 Scott Roeder # 65192 P.O. Box 1568-H.C.F. Hutchinson, Kansas 67504 Hello Scott! It was way back in July, according to my typed letter records. (Have I written since by hand? Hmm. Couldn’t say.) Well, it was good to talk with you this a.m. Thanks for calling. We are at the beginning of […]

Damnable Self-Condemnation
24 Nov., 2019 We don’t forgive ourselves. This is false teaching driven by an error in doctrine. God is the Maker and Judge of us. He is the Savior and the Forgiver. We don’t “forgive ourselves.” We confess our sins against Him and receive from Him forgiveness. He is the offended One. We are the […]

Bastards and Sons of Bitches
16 Oct., 2019 Dear prisoners, You are altogether sons of bitches. Singularly you are, each one, a son of a bitch. (Here is the word defined: “a malicious, unpleasant, selfish woman” or “a thoroughly disliked person.”) Each of you has a mother who is a descendant of Adam. You are his descendants, born into sin.

Our Sickening Civility
14 Oct., 2019 Our polite civility with which we proudly encounter our pagan, baby-killing, racist (discriminating against a class of humanity residing in wombs throughout the land) fellow citizens must be disgusting. A stench in the nostrils of a holy God. How neighborly and friendly we are to those who persist in their support and […]

National Review Going Ethically Crazy
5 Sept., 2019 Robert Verbruggen, writing for the “conservative” National Review, vies for approval and toleration of sodomy (Sept. 3, 2019, “Death of the ‘Gay Gene’”; see https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/death-of-the-gay-gene/). Since he finds persuasive evidence of this “orientation” to be genetic, sodomy must therefore merit approval and toleration. What is “natural” is good and must be permitted […]

A Fancy for Flogging
23 August, 2019 The practice is at least as old as the Scriptures. And, indeed, Holy Writ calls for it! Why then, in our incessant folly, do we insist upon paying out lots of money to lock people up in jail rather than apply that therapeutic, Biblical solution? Here is a 20th century clip of […]
