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 […]

Gonna Shave that Head, Legs and Face!
(Isaiah 7:20 and 8:13) Gonna shave that head, legs and face! What about the chest, arms and groin? Well, don’t ya know what’s goin’ on? Got humiliation comin’ down! Shavin’ those places all covered; Bring some disgrace on those mothers Of sons who want to do wrong Shavin’ everything but that “dong”! Oh, it’s a […]

A Nasty Add in the Paper
Steve Szeghi wants to butcher babies In the name of “Reproductive Freedom”! Even paid for a page in the paper To promote such a wicked caper. Wake up to what you’re talkin’ about! Fancy words give your message no clout! You know they wanted “freedom” to own slaves Back in those dark ante-bellum days, But […]

Existing Eternally As He Does
Existing eternally as He does, The Triune God needs no one. Complete as both object and subject, This Love is eternally content. So why, to our wondering eyes, Did He make creatures like you and me? Had a plan which had to do with glory, And we are all part of that story. We live […]

Hope 100 Is Sort of Right!
“God is never in a hurry,” Says CJ McKay on Hope 100. That’s right, but my kids aren’t God And neither are their parents, So they got to move and get ‘er done, Lest they get a spankin’ on the bum! And yet, the admonition is welcome. Slow down when you are anxious for nothing, […]

Thinking of Your Failures?
When you think of your failures Turn your thoughts to the Savior. If for your sins you have cried, Remember that One who died. He took it all and went down All the way dead and to the ground. He took on Himself all your pain But it did not long on Him remain. He […]

Parents of Twelve We Are
Parents, indeed, of twelve we are; Anastasia will not be forgotten. Four months she was in the womb; We could have used another good girl! But our Lord does according to His will (Sometimes it is other than a thrill.); He gives, indeed, and He takes away. And what against Him would we say? What […]

Thoughts on God and Hugh
He’s got all time as well as this day To bring your life into conformity With His law in all its enormity. He made the world out of nothing And is quite able to handle our bucking. Onward and upward we ever go Always remembering, ever in the know: He’s got our lives in His […]

The Devil’s Music?
“Why should the devil have all The good music?” crooned Larry! He sang it out and made us merry! (Sayin’ “Amen” to that song! Where was contemporary Christian music?

Remember: “The Right is Right and the Left is Wrong.”
So stay strong in the truth and don’t goof! Got to keep on top and don’t drop Off into some crazy communism Where someone else pays the bill While you eat and swill All the juice loose from those who work Collecting that welfare while others are taxed. Why should they be breaking their backs? […]

A Vision-like View
‘Twas early six ante-meridian And I was waking by the light As it peered through the blinds Of my window and the thought Of angelic beings came to mind. They were peering down anxiously, Excitedly, from a great balcony in heaven Trading glances with one another In anticipation of their descent. 0635 on 19 October, […]

FIRE
A Place Fit For (Fools, Ignoramuses, Rebels, and Egotists) What, essentially, is a sinner? A person fit for the fire, A Foolish, Ignorant, Rebellious Egotist; One who the worship of God resists.He imagines himself in need of no God; Thinks there’ll be no eternal rod;Passes off Jesus as a piece of lore; Ignores Him like […]

Lamentations Over a Trapped Skunk
(A.k.a. “A War with Nature”) Trapped that skunk and dragged His mammalian ass into the pond Where he met his doom and drowned! No more stinkin’ up our house; We trapped your ass like a mouse! Put you down under that water; You’re done bein’ a master farter! But, really, I’m sorry, little skunk; It’s […]

What’s Up, Pope?
So, what’s up, Pope?Hooked on dope? O come on, Francis! What are the chances? Mariana Mazzucato? Is she a hot tomato? What explains such “bravado” Or flat out apostasy?
