Those Foreign Martyrs
We tend to crown folks as martyrs from those who are “over there.” We just can’t muster up the sympathy for, or respect due, martyrs who are nearby. Neighbors just aren’t to be respected as heroes! They are – just neighbors. Common folk disconnected from those super-hero martyrs who come from somewhere over there. It […]

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 […]

The Wretched Human Condition
Yes, it is good to hate evildoers along with evil But what of those who confuse evil with good? Oh what a mess in a world of sinners where Right and Wrong are confused by wicked minds. We need the Word of God rightly understood Over the opinions of the warped or Godless. O what […]

Faith without Works
Dead faith gets you nowhere but down under! Better be sure you have a faith that saves. Got any works that manifest saving faith? What are those deeds that give you assurance? What evidence is there in your life of a living faith? A true, authentic faith that leads to salvation? Paul said it straight: […]

Why is NR so defensive about the “Capitol Riots”?
When you have Godless, Nazi-like, Pro-aborts in power, such a drastic situation calls for drastic action, the least of which is a “Capitol riot”! Revolution is well justified in response to the Nazi-like tyranny of a SCOTUS which has decreed the evil of child-slaughter (a.k.a. “abortion rights”) in the nation. Revolution is easily justified if […]

The Failure to Treat Communism as an Evil on Par with Nazism
John O’Sullivan writes for National Review (Oct., 25, 2022): “The truth of the matter is that the West never confronted the radical evil of Communism as it confronted that of Nazism. Both Left and Right had their reasons for forgetting the past as Communism imploded in front of them: The Right wanted a smooth diplomatic […]

Yet Another Biden/Church Rant
Re: The Retention of Biden on the Romanist Rolls One of the great, blatant but unmentioned, scandals of our time is the retention of Joe Biden a member of the Roman Catholic Church. How does this church maintain credibility, not to mention holiness, when it retains the likes of this prominent Holocaustian on its membership […]

Property Leeches
They buy up houses or land and invest nothing in development, beautification, improvement – to the chagrin of the neighbors who must endure the disparaging condition of the degrading property. They care, apparently, nothing for their neighbor’s property and their well-being, but seek only their own advancement in wealth. ‘Tis really nothing new. Human depravity […]

Parasite Property Owners
They buy property, especially houses, and invest as little as possible; just enough to sustain the house so that it does not deteriorate. Otherwise, they have no interest in living in the neighborhood and building social bonds with anyone. The house may be a mess and even a haunt for the occasional derelict drifter who […]

Toleration of Evil and Then . . .?
Well, that evil which you tolerate soon spreads and takes over everything. Think of that infection you might have in your body. If you don’t treat it, it spreads and you get sick all over! Imagine what happens when evil laws are allowed to stand. Whether its racism which leads to discrimination, segregation, and slavery […]

The Moral Illegitimacy of the Dem Party
It used to be that we had two major legitimate political parties in America. Both were within the boundaries of standard Christian morality: one favored bigger government and the expenditure of tax money for “the needy”(as defined variously by differing opinions; the other favored leaving the citizens’ money with each citizen to care for himself […]

Promiscuous Divorcing and Errant Endurance
“Balance” comes to mind as the ever-all solution to most problems. Selfishness may be at the root of both conditions. Why do we marry? And why divorce? We seek our own benefit, joy and wellbeing. Bottom line is the pursuit of our own good. But we must also seek justice with the glory of God […]

“Rapture” Fantasies and the World’s Salt
What if all Muslims were taken away (“raptured” out o’ here!)? What impact would that have upon the world? Good? Bad? Might depend upon where and what the alternatives were. Under a Godless tyrant it might be good to have some Muslim comrades to resist him. So some places would fare worse. Similarly countries dominated […]

Truth and War
Swords and Shields was war up close and personal: You see the eyes of a person as he diesUnder the blows of your sword; No distancing death from your view. You do what you got to do; It is either he or you. And now we think less grimly of war, Carried out at distances […]
