My Fear, Dread, and Sanctuary
(To the tune of “The B-I-B-L-E”) My FDS* is HeAnd that’s how it should be;He rules the worldWith hell to payThe ones who go astray! You don’t want Him to cross;He’ll clean you and that dross.Your butt will hurt,You’ll be in the dirt;You surely will be lost! So fear Him and get clean;With the wicked […]

Let Them Be Baptized!
The weakest are those in the womb; No voice, no choice and no visibility. We are all conceived in sin. There is a soul, in need of redemption, In every child, in every conception. Let them come forth And receive the good news. Let them be baptized. (Or, for us paedo-baptists:) Let them come forth!Let […]

In the Name of “Choice”
We butcher babies in the name of “choice” Like keeping slaves in the name of “property.”How dark are the ways of the pagan As he puts his selfish will above That of sacrifice and love For the weak and helpless. But such is the way of natural man, A sinner who does all that he […]

What is the Church?
The church is about sound doctrine (per the Scriptures and the Creeds), indeed. But it is also about the gathering: the “breaking of the bread.” There is a special presence of God in the “sacrament” – the “communion” or “supper.” We don’t accomplish such by mail or TV or “on-line.” We gather to break the […]

Decadent Dems
What makes Democrats so decadent: From the right to own slaves To right to kill those babes? Darkness wars always against the Light And such is the Dem’s fight. Got no sense of Right and Wrong: You’re free if you’re on the right side Of the womb or your mother is the right color. Come […]

Don’t Fear Those Who Hate
When the savage anti-Christ pursues And you have no clues, Don’t fear those who hate; Those who run with the reprobate. Hold fast to what you know is true And know that He’s always with you. He will lead and always be there Whether times are rough or fair. Yours is to endure and pursue […]

Long before anything was madeGod, the Father, Son and SpiritExisted, self-contained, completeIn need of nothing with no wants.This triune God opted to […]

I’m Looking at a Pagan Christmas
(To the tune of “Dreaming of a White Christmas”) I’m looking at a pagan Christmas Where people act so very crass Lots of goods and decoration But no time for celebration Of God coming into the flesh O that they’d come to know Jesus Who died and rose again for them Turn from their selfish […]

A Failure to Communicate The Message
What are we saying when we befriend, Rather than confront, a sodomite?We are saying, “I prefer the comfort Of camaraderie to the joy of saving Truth! Your soul means less to me than socialization; I want a comfortable place in the nation! Yes, I want to get along with everyone; Want to join with all […]

Christ Mass?
We generally associate a “Mass” with the death of Christ for our sins by which we are given life. But in Christmas we are not directly in celebration of a special Eucharist or “Mass.” We are celebrating the incarnation of God. We are celebrating the long-awaited arrival (preceding His death for our sins and His resurrection […]

Prayers: Imprecatory and Salutary
For whom do we pray salutarily? And for whom imprecatorily? Depends upon our mood And His leading as we commune With the One Who gave the command. He who made us and brought us out of death Will save those whom He chooses And by His grace and purpose He will use us. Ours is […]

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 […]

Encounter with an Honest Mormon
Mormon: “There is only one God [with whom we have to do]” (but we believe in many gods; we are polytheists like the pagans of old, says the honest Mormon in his heart). Christian: “Good to hear that! And who is this God but the One: Father, Son, and Spirit who lives as love, almightily, […]

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: […]
