Salvation

“Balance” comes to mind as the ever-all solution to most problems. Selfishness may be at the root of both conditions. Why do we marry? And why divorce? We seek our own benefit, joy and wellbeing. Bottom line is the pursuit of our own good. But we must also seek justice with the glory of God […]

Heresies are worse than regular crimes; they are an assault upon the soul rather than the body. So it is today with the likes of, say, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Wierville’s Way religion, many Godless Democrats, and even some Republicans who deny the triune God. The one who wars against the soul, even in ignorance, does […]

For an eternity, the Almighty lived: Robed, the three, in their own glory, In need of no company for joy. It was not lonely, no boredom; But God made some stars and planets And threw in some angels for His pleasure. The Trinity had plenty of company And the entertainment was not lacking Except for […]

Met a man on the street, named Mike,As I walked my regular route.Came up a gave me a quick handshakeAnd said, “Clinton County Jail.”Then went on his way, nothin’ to say.Guess he had some wanderin’ to do.But who knows what the Word will doAs the Spirit comes and riles up a heart?From His power no […]

Swords and Shields was war up close and personal: You see the eyes of a person as he diesUnder the blows of your sword; No distancing death from your view. You do what you got to do; It is either he or you. And now we think less grimly of war, Carried out at distances […]

Jonathan, whatever wrong you may have done Must be weighed against the good you have won! Surely many-a soul saved by your production Of that glorious film called “Rataliation”! So press on in your holy endeavor To put out that truth, most cleaver: That sometimes justice is found Not just in turning a life a […]

“The Way” of Victor Paul Wierville is, frankly, the wrong way. Wierville denied that Christ was fully God, the second person of the Trinity. In other words, he blasphemed Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit, the one and only God. Wierville was a false teacher and ought to be called out as nothing less (or […]

(To Jayne) ‘Tis about this time of day After I meditate and pray That I put poems to the pen Expressing the product of my ken. Fleeting thoughts fly by And who can say why They come and quickly vanish (Like my retention of Spanish!). Do angels fly around and tease With distractions that do […]

God, the Father sent God the Son, the very Creator, down to join His creation and to participate in and accomplish its redemption. God, the Son, came down to dwell among His creatures. And after He accomplished our salvation through His death, The Father sent God, the Holy Spirit, to lead and guide us in […]

Wanderin’ through life, lookin’ for a thrill Got stuck a little while in Mormonville, Then found his way out of the din; And dealt with that sin deep within. Nothin’ but the blood o’ Jesus Will do to get a fellow through. The triune God is the One that saves Whether in the city or […]

Talkin’ about that church Father of the first century. He and Polycarp were fellow disciples under John (the apostle). He writes to the Ephesian Christians warning them against false teachers. Of the “spirit of deceit” he says this in chapter nine: “He glorifies himself, for he is full of arrogance. He is lying, fraudulent, soothing, […]

It is the motto of my local – you might say – “oldies” station, playing the popular music of the late sixties and seventies. Indeed, it was excellent music, about which Larry Norman crooned, “Why should the devil have all the good music?”! Yes, it was good, Godless music. High quality use of instruments and […]

As I was on walk today in the early afternoon, a fellow getting out of his car asked me if I was still going into the jail. I didn’t know the guy but was pleased that he knew something of me and continued to hear him as I answered that I was no longer going […]

Sunday mornin’We love that day‘Cause we know JesusTook our sins awa-a-a-y!O Sunday mornin’He came a-stormin’Right out o’ that grave!So you gotta behave;It’s the thing to doTellin’ you true-hoo. To the Tune of “Monday, Monday” by The Momas & the Papas 25 Sept., 2022

29 Sept., 2022 Dear Mormons (or “Latter Day Saints” – as you fancy yourselves), For an eternity, before He made anything (angels, dirt, people), God existed as one God in three persons. There was eternal love between the three persons of this God-head. Thus have the (faithful) churches among all the denominations (Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, […]

The popular song (or, at least, an oft-played one) has the lyrics as follows: “Did He move every mountain? Did He part every sea? Yes He did, so yes He can.” I like the trust that the words convey in the power of our God. He is almighty and can do anything He wishes to […]

(Or “Latter Day Saints Lies”) Mormons mean well, But by their false teaching Point themselves and others to hell. The triune God is, indeed, The one-and-only true God, The Lord and giver of life, Who died For all the sins of all the world(s) And rose again – victorious! No one else is more glorious […]

(Isaiah 7) I’m on the path of the Alzheimerian Ridin’ down the road to oblivion, But I know the hearts of the heathen Will shake like the trees of the forest When they blow in the wind (2) While I am at rest in the arms of the Winner Who won the race for every […]

(En route to Hell) Among sinners, I am relatively good Yeah! I am one of the best Amidst the world’s wicked (Better an “F” than an “F-“!) Ah, yes! A good man am I (Comes natural, don’t have to try!); Just look at the fools all about me. Only the darkness do they see! At […]

Do you love truth, justice, and righteousness? “Good!” to those who answer, “Yes!” Now, do you hate that which contracts them? (I.e. lies, crime, and general wickedness?) Another good “yea!” due here. What do you do about him whom you love? You adore, nurture, and encourage him! And him (or the evil) whom you hate? […]
