The Air That I Breathe?
(So goes a popular song. Intentions of the songsters are good, but . . .) “You’re the air that I breathe”? Well, the intention was good, One may suppose, but The words just didn’t come out well. God is a bit more that the “Air that I” Or anyone else might “Breathe.” He made the […]

The Church
The Church (as The Gathering) Is not first an entertainment venue; Nor a place for one to get his ears tickled; Not first a place to socialize and relieve Oneself from the boredom of one’s sorrows. It is, first, the gathering of God’s people To worship the Father, Son, and Spirit. It is the place […]

Those Confused Quakers
Won’t go to war against ex-utero bad guys, but are okay with all-out war on in innocent, helpless in utero folks! Well, what about that imago Dei thing? What’s up? Are humans (which begin, each one at conception) created in the image of God or not?!? Now there are times, contrary to Quaker doctrine, to […]

Internet Research?
Or good old fashioned hard-back (or lesser-grade, soft-back) commentaries!?! You must no more than imagine what you’ll find when you do a search for “swift booty” per Isaiah 8:1! What did you find on the internet? A bunch o’ butts! Invest in some good, old-fashioned, hard-back commentaries. Forget this newfangled internet search thing! Getchu some […]

To the Roman Church
Nov., 2022 Dear “Church,” What keeps you from excommunicating your arch-heretic, Joe Biden? Are you dependent upon the donations of those apostate members who remain committed to the pro-abort Democratic party? Are you a whore that you would take money from heretics and nominal Christians in exchange for abandoning justice – church discipline? Your deluded […]

On the Love of Truth
12 Sept., 2022 Do you love Truth, Justice, and Righteousness? “Good,” to those who answer “Yes!” Now, do you hate that which contradicts them? (I.e. lies, crime, and general wickedness?) What do you do about that which you love? You adore, nurture, care for, and encourage such. And that which you hate? You despise, shun, […]

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 […]

All Things Must Pass
They all pass away: Youth, possessions, good looks. Children grow up and find their way, And we are left to spend the day Pursuing the same course, But with fewer in the company. And yet that company is not so small! The Church of God is international And full of many members All sharing that […]

Justin Martyr: A Very Early Testimony to the Trinity
The earliest record we have of testimony among church leaders to the doctrine defining God as specifically triune comes from Justin Martyr. He was born in about 114 A.D. in a city of Samaria called Flavia Neopolis, known today as Nablous. He accepts the charge from the Greeks, whose gods he has exposed as frauds, […]

A Heretic Meditation
Heresies are worse than regular crimes; they are an assault upon the soul rather than the body. So it is today with the likes of, say, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Wierville’s Way religion, many Godless Democrats, and even some Republicans who deny the triune God. The one who wars against the soul, even in ignorance, does […]

Another False Teacher about Whom Jesus Warned
“The Way” of Victor Paul Wierville is, frankly, the wrong way. Wierville denied that Christ was fully God, the second person of the Trinity. In other words, he blasphemed Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit, the one and only God. Wierville was a false teacher and ought to be called out as nothing less (or […]

Romanists! What About Biden?
Now, brothers and sisters of the Romanist fold, I understand your commitment to your church. You want to be loyal to your family and/or parents and ancestry as well. But your first loyalty is to Truth! To Justice! To God and His Word. And the Truth is that THE foremost American Catholic is our POTUS. […]

Tribute to the One and Only: the Triune God
God, the Father sent God the Son, the very Creator, down to join His creation and to participate in and accomplish its redemption. God, the Son, came down to dwell among His creatures. And after He accomplished our salvation through His death, The Father sent God, the Holy Spirit, to lead and guide us in […]

Abort Planned Parenthood
Contraception indicates a questioning (if not questionable) attitude toward children. But Planned Parenthood, with its advocacy of abortion (murder) as an option, is a horrid blight on the political landscape. When God’s plan (children by means of conception) trumps our own plans, it is advisable to heed Him rather than our own fleeting liberty longings! […]

Yeah, Ignatius!
Talkin’ about that church Father of the first century. He and Polycarp were fellow disciples under John (the apostle). He writes to the Ephesian Christians warning them against false teachers. Of the “spirit of deceit” he says this in chapter nine: “He glorifies himself, for he is full of arrogance. He is lying, fraudulent, soothing, […]

To Our Mormon Visitors
29 Sept., 2022 Dear Mormons (or “Latter Day Saints” – as you fancy yourselves), For an eternity, before He made anything (angels, dirt, people), God existed as one God in three persons. There was eternal love between the three persons of this God-head. Thus have the (faithful) churches among all the denominations (Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, […]

A Mormon Meditation
(Or “Latter Day Saints Lies”) Mormons mean well, But by their false teaching Point themselves and others to hell. The triune God is, indeed, The one-and-only true God, The Lord and giver of life, Who died For all the sins of all the world(s) And rose again – victorious! No one else is more glorious […]
