A BFGF Situation
(Inspired by Job 38) From time to time evil creeps in Upon a people in the din of sin. “They darken counsel By words without knowledge;” Minds blinded by Lawless freedom, But open to any fool to lead them. O fools! Do you need a plague? Some blood, frogs, gnats, and flies? It’s what you […]

Februation, Gone!
O that month of februation, Pagan sacrifice to appease Those demons demanding lives Offering nothing but words in return. The fear of death grips soul and mind And drives men to work and grind But that was the way of the past. And today we are free from worry Anxiety and fear we did bury […]

The Trinity
The Trinity we must behold, A truth more valuable than gold. Eternal love between two there was, And a witness better than a “cuz”:A full-fledged member of the “Godhead” As some would say of the triune God! Yes, that love was an eternal sort To which the Scriptures testify and support. Yeah, it’s denied by […]

Popularity or Glory?
In order to gain the respect of a plurality One must sometimes disrespect a minority: Those radicals which sometimes bring a stink To a movement which depends upon numbers. So it is and has always been on the course for the win. Pursuit of victory sometimes competes with the love of truth. It is glorious, […]

THE Sport of Wrestling
There were times in some places Where the boys who went out for wresting Were the kids who couldn’t play basketball; The lesser athletic kids, well, just wrestled. Such times and places are fewer now, thank God, As the sport is coming to its proper place of respect. It is THE sport where the most […]

Believe, Trust, and Obey
Well, one race it is, indeed, full of sin In need of the Lord to win The day and take it from the night By means of His glorious light That shines all over the world As his mercy on man is unfurled. Yes, many will stumble and be broken; In lust and pride they’ll […]
