The Praises of Men
The praises of men are most ungratifying Why should we want to be the recipient of them? It is the approval of God we must seek, Him to please with hearts most meek. Seek Him first and to the last breath you breatheOnly for His approval do you writhe and seethe. From false approval take […]

Just Say, “No!”
Just say “No!” to the twin sins Of sodomy and abortion! They both drag down the soul Of a nation wandering in the dark As happens with any people who abandon That Law which came down from heaven Through Apostles and Prophets of God! Waken up to that ancient Truth, The Word of God and […]

Well it’s Nolle Prosequi If you want to ask me What to do with the bomber Of that “clinic” down the street. Don’t worry ’bout the heat; Do what is right and meet; Set the man free to free Those lives under the threat Of those baby killers who bet On no one who intervenes. […]

That Dead Squirrel in the Street
There’s a dead squirrel on Lincoln Street; I’ve walked by him a thousand times. What to do but look at those remains And know that we got a big difference; We humans are just not the same! Got that image of God, Image Dei, Written all over our skin and within. So when I see […]

No hell below us, above us only sky. . .” Jack-ass materialists who gave no consideration to the heritage of Christianity and the freedom it provided people to follow the Truth. . . or to compose and sing stupid, hedonistic songs. “Imagine Redux” by MBray: Imagine there’re no […]
