“Inclusion!”?
“Bah! Humbug!” Indeed, “Humbug!” would be a legitimate denunciation when addressing that sociological dogma which demands inclusion of deviants, perverts, and murderers into the company of good citizenry! Inspiration for such a denunciation comes from Moses as recorded in Deuteronomy 7:1-4. When God cleared the land of the heathen in order that Israel might seize […]

Miscarriage and the Death of Infants
Long ago, we lost a child. Anastasia died in the womb, and so our grief was not like that of parents who lose a child whom they have come to know and with whom they have traded laughter and smiles. (Perhaps we would miss her more had it not been for eleven others to distract […]

On Baptismal Disputation
I am reading about the purification process for God’s covenant people given by God to Moses. The blood and the water are sprinkled upon the one in need of purification (Num. 19:17-21). And I am thinking about the asininity of one who distinguishes himself or his church from others on the basis of baptismal mode. […]
