Ecclesiastical Matters

(There Is Room For All Those Repentant) Maybe you suffered a twist: Became a Wierville Wayist; Or went as a polytheist Off into never-never land, Following gods of many choices, Listening to all kinds of voices. Yeah, Joe Smith was quite the dreamer And then became a religious schemer. Oh, but repent and come around!There […]

Forget about theological issues of papal supremacy or sanctification issues of liturgical order and Eucharistic cleansing which might be objected to be Protestants. There is the basic problem of church discipline – a principle affirmed by all Churches! Heretics must be corrected and, when found incorrigible, excommunicated. On this matter, the Roman Catholic Church has […]

Who, more than anyone else, inspired your walk with Jesus? Thank God for that person. Thank the person. Be that person to someone else. 18 Dec., 2023

Brazilian singer Pedro HenriqueDied on this date in November;He was a brother singing for the Lord.Never know when your time will come;Be ready every day for that momentWhen He takes you off this planetTo be with Him forever and ever.Praise Him day and night and in the fightGot things to do and life is short. […]

Be “Positive and Encouraging” Toward those doing time in jailFor saving babies from that travailTo their bodies that “providers” suppliedJoining those who have lied,Calling the child of God a “tissue,”Treating the murder of children as an “issue.”Yes, we must recognize, acknowledge,And ever praise those jailedWho ought to have been hailed!Buck up, Christian radio and Church!Don’t […]

The primary purpose of the Christian Is the glory of God. The primary means of His glorification,Ordained by God, is the Church!So the edification of the Church isTop priority for the Christian.Strengthen the Church and, as a member,Do right! Seek justice. Serve the weak.Don’t sit on your duff and praise HimFrom your chair or “commune” […]

The Messiah, Jesus, is both “Son of God” and “Son of Man.” He is divine . . . and human – by the incarnation. We, people, by contrast, are human by nature; we are not divine. We have a wonderful heritage coming to us: eternal life going forward. But we have no eternality – going […]

A “church” that will not drop sinners (of which category practicing heretics are included) from its membership rolls is no church. God’s church is holy. It practices discipline. It corrects or shuns heretics and excommunicates those who walk in error (e.g. heresy). The retention of Biden by the Romanist “Church” is a substantial self-denial of […]

“Don’t like slavery?” said the slavers To the abolitionists. “Don’t have one!”And so say abortionists to the pro-lifers:“Don’t like abortion? Don’t have one!”‘Tis the retort of flippant perverts who justifyThe lie that there is no “image of God”In the baby: a human being in the womb.Indeed, the fallen nature of man has not changed;It is in […]

(Callin’ all Heretics!) One with the Father and the Spirit, Forever they existed – the One God. For an eternity before one angel was made, God, Himself – the Son – was around.Sent by God, the Father, and God,The Spirit, He came way down hereTo suffer human rejection and smear.He is worthy of all praise […]

Eight of the Ten Commandments are negative. So is it good to be strive to be “positive”? Well, certainly, we have the highest of hopesAnd have reason to have a positive outlookFor all who repent and embrace Salvation.So, depending upon the situation we address,Whether it is holy living or some malicious mess,We may go either […]

We call it “tolerance.” If our calling as Christians includes the doing good as well as the action of restraint from doing evil – i.e. “positive” as well as “negative” commands – we may well sin when we fail to oppose evil. To tolerate evil is a sin just as it is a sin to […]

What Council has displayed more unity of the Church than K-Love? The music is a pleasant feature of the day. One can take into his spirit life-giving praise of the Triune God and edifying words of truth. Thanks be to God for live, Jesus-praising music on Christian radio! 9 Nov., 2023

My KLOVE plays some good Jesus-praising music and it is always good to hear folk testify to their travels from darkness to Light. But it is good to be more precise about what conversion is all about. It has to do with that “thing” called the “Church” – that “Body of Christ” that “Community of […]

(Another Trinity Meditation) A colonel may be subordinate to a general,But he is no less an officer;He is no less a soldier;He is no less a servant of his country;He is no less a human.So, the Son and Spirit areSubordinate to the FatherBut the two are no less divine;Indeed, they lived together, eternally, in harmony;Love […]

The heathen will despoil anything sacred, But that doesn’t mean we withdraw or give in! We take back and restore those holy daysAnd we teach the people what they mean!We explain the Gospel and teach the Word.Run and hide away? That’s absurd!There are times to withdrawAnd avoid the Devil’s maw,And there are times to take […]

(Another meditation on the matter) “There’s only LO-O-O-O-VEIn the heart of God”Croons the radio singer.Song-writer needs to readThe Word again and comprehendThe fact that God HATESEvil, as is repeatedly statedIn His word, so that even those slatedWith a shortage of Biblical truthNeed not be conned or spoofedBy such nonsense heresy. 21 Oct., 2023

(A Churchy Incarnation Meditation) A colonel may be subordinate to a general, but he is no less – an officer. He is no less a soldier; he is no less a servant of his country. He is no less a human. So, the eternal Son of God and the eternal Spirit are subordinate to the […]

Somehow it’s acceptable to be a missionary For the rescue of souls in Mongolia, But not cool to be a missionary for theRescue of souls and bodies of babies right in America.Never did make much sense to me when ChurchmenShunned folks who delivered babies from deathAt the hands of a “provider” of butchered babiesBy effective […]

Always available, but when applied? Upon confession and repentance: An important condition for its application. The blood of Christ is not accessed otherwise. (He may, indeed, sovereignly apply His gift To anyone He chooses at any time, of course.) So for us cognizant and conscientious folks, We are behooved to focus upon the turn And […]
