Roll Up Those Sleeves!
Nothin’ but the blood of Jesus Can rescue you from death. (Might put it out o’ your mind Drinkin’ or sniffin’ that meth.) Bow on down and face the ground, Your eternal place of rest!

Rescue the Oppressed . . .
“Eye hath not seen, Nor ear heard, Neither hath in entered The heart of man What God hath prepared.” So don’t bother to wonder! Just do what He says: Feed the poor, Clothe the naked,, Rescue the oppressed. Justice shall you do Until your days are through. Simple enough; get tough. 8 Feb early p.m.

The Confused Preacher
Lo and behold, saw him comin’ down the road; He was a Methopresbaptilutherian. Had his knickers in a knot And for the Lord he was hot; There were things he wanted to change! Yeah, he had a reformation in mind And he felt he was behind, So he got on to the run. But before […]

On a Unified Church
I say unity was brought by abortion Givin’ up our Bible contortions Focusing on the truth that counts, Not the trivia that doesn’t amount To anything that feeds the soul Or advances justice by His law. Gotta get your doctrine straight To get through that holy gate! Or be a Baptomethpresluthocostian Gettin’ on with anybody […]

Job 29:12-17 (Updated)
I rescued the poor who cried for help, And the fatherless who had none to assist them. The one who was dying blessed me; I made the widow’s heart sing. I put on righteousness as my clothing; Justice was my robe and my turban. I was eyes to the blind And feet to the lame. […]

Vigorously Serious
We ought to be vigorously serious About what the Church can be: Christ to the state and to the nation; Him the world is enabled to see! We are that means of his visibility; We are here taking His place. Whether we have a building Or meet in a field somewhere, We make Him known […]

To Be Ruled By Elders
The church was to be ruled by elders Not a pastor, don’t you see? ‘Twas always a better way To avoid, you know, a monarchy. You can see it throughout the scriptures, But it seems people pay them no mind. Rather make it all nice and easy To whine at one, the many, all the […]

Those Wicked Euphemisms!
“Reproductive rights” re the slaughter of babies in the womb reminds one of “property rights” re the enslavement of black people. Nice wicked euphemisms – for the selfish oppressors to wield in accordance with their wicked wants. 3 Feb., 2023

Abort an Abortionist?
The right to abort an abortionist Is a genuine appendancy In a real life emergency. When a baby’s life is at stake, Drastic measures we may take. So get off your duff and defend this stuff; Speak the truth with consistency! Are people created in the imago Dei Or are you a fake Christian at […]

The Fish in My Pond!
Out my back window I see fish in my pond; A sight I like to behold, O, much better than gold. Once they were gold in my bowl; Now, I see them from my window, Looking down where the water falls. Around they swim, back and forth, Traveling from south to north And back and […]

Music and Wanderings
Music is the way to go; Preachers say nothin’ He don’t already know! Said he knows the Word inside and out, So give him the music to praise Him. Can’t do enough of that! His Spirit falls on this poor vat And His praise he pours out With or without the vocal clout. Down a […]

In Sin Did My Mother Conceive Me
“In sin did my mother conceive me,” says God’s word. ‘Tis, indeed, a negative affirmation of the dignity That is man’s because of the imago Dei that he bears, But take what is and affirm that divine principle. We, at conception, existed complete in our humanity! We lack nothing to be granted all honors as […]

Shepherds and Sheep
How Does a Shepherd Shepherd his Sheep? He moves them in a particular direction, For a particular purpose. It may be to escape bad weather; It may be to find better ground to graze. He looks out for predators and defeats them, Or he leads the sheep away from them. He does more than give […]

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 […]
