Slavery Was Okay
How, one may wonder, back in the dayDid folks think that slavery was okay?Blind as they were back then,There remain many today in the dinBlinded by that selfishness we call sin.Yeah, folks justify the butchery of a babyJust as they turned a blind eye to slavery.It is the selfish decadence of humanityTo snub God and […]

Freedom and Wisdom
“Freedom!” fools used to say. “If you don’t want a slave, Don’t have one! We can do what we want!Don’t tell us what to do!”So said those poor foolsWho supported the rightTo capture another personAnd compel him to serveAs a slave of another human.“We have the rightTo have our own slaves!”And so say those who […]

Slavery Was A Choice
Slavery, like abortion, was a choice! (A bad one with nasty consequence.) Enslaving another is the work of a ghoul;The taking of an innocent life is not cool,(To say the bloody least!)It is work inspired by some demonic beast.How else to assess manstealing and murder?But that is the condition of our fallen nature;We destroy life […]

Screw SCOTUS!
Screw SCOTUS: Tyrants in robes Who scorn the Law of God! They splattered the land With the blood of Roe Undoing the laws of the land!How do the people bowTo tyrants like a yoked cow?The Law was given by GodTo Moses and the prophets;There is no other standard.NO COURT overrules the Law of God.For peace […]

(Another meditation on the matter) “There’s only LO-O-O-O-VEIn the heart of God”Croons the radio singer.Song-writer needs to readThe Word again and comprehendThe fact that God HATESEvil, as is repeatedly statedIn His word, so that even those slatedWith a shortage of Biblical truthNeed not be conned or spoofedBy such nonsense heresy. 21 Oct., 2023

Nature and Function
(A Churchy Incarnation Meditation) A colonel may be subordinate to a general, but he is no less – an officer. He is no less a soldier; he is no less a servant of his country. He is no less a human. So, the eternal Son of God and the eternal Spirit are subordinate to the […]

Hmm. The Pharisee Lives On
Somehow it’s acceptable to be a missionary For the rescue of souls in Mongolia, But not cool to be a missionary for theRescue of souls and bodies of babies right in America.Never did make much sense to me when ChurchmenShunned folks who delivered babies from deathAt the hands of a “provider” of butchered babiesBy effective […]

The Tongue of a Child Out of Control
Shittily did he speak to the lady And did deserve a rebuke at the least. Perhaps a slap on the chop Would have served betterTo curb such base indiscipline.Most high among the prioritiesOf civil human socializationIs the control of the bastard tongueWhen it goes out from under the ruleOf a parental spirit of decency.Let children […]

Wrestling Prominence!
Football isn’t bad; Soccer may be better. But both are but a warm-up For the blessed wrestling season!“Mano-a-mano” is the game;Can’t put on another the blame.Responsibility you must bear;Can’t hide from the stare.The glory is yours to winWhether by decision or pin.But thank God for your skills;His purpose may you fulfill. 16 Oct. 2023

Forgiveness
Always available, but when applied? Upon confession and repentance: An important condition for its application. The blood of Christ is not accessed otherwise. (He may, indeed, sovereignly apply His gift To anyone He chooses at any time, of course.) So for us cognizant and conscientious folks, We are behooved to focus upon the turn And […]

On Vague Political Rhetoric
Indeed do politicians speak in ambiguous terms That they may be more “comprehensive” in their reach,That others their positions they may teach.Yea, to an audience more receptive to their positionsSo that at the voting booth they may make decisionsCompatible with the policies they do advocateWhich has little to do with love or with hateBut with […]

Bowie Wrestling
Bowie Wrestling! Class of 2019 Thanks for the medal! And the “pic” with coach Phillips! (Yeah, I give it a stare Sitting in my living room chair. Thoughts drifting to the past, Those days on the grapplers’ mat.) You know it’s the sport coming down Way before basketball was around.It’s the sport of Jesus and […]

A Genuine Sinner
Yeah, I’m a genuine sinner, More concerned about my dinner Than the locale of an eternal soul. (Like some soup in a bowl,I treat another person’s “fate.”)Am I about love or hate?!Do I care about the one going down?More than a “smirky” frown?If there is a salvation worth declaring,They why am I so erring,Failing to […]
