Salvation
How Shall We Fare?
How shall we fare on that day Coming soon or far away? Shall we be caught in the fray Or be found standing upright Engaged with the world in “the fight”? We are charged to always stand ready And in a manner strong and steady That we may bring that glory to Jesus For whose […]

Holiness, Jails, and Sex-offenders
(Reflections on prison days long ago.) It is an issue which besets any Christian in jail and all those who guard prisons. There is the necessity for Christians to gather and the provision by the prison for them to do so. And there is the call, by Christian principles, for holiness along with salvation. The […]

That Rift with the Heathen
There is always be a rift Between the heathen and those with a gift, That awakening by the Spirit Who gives life without regard to merit. Left to that measure, we’d be doomed, No matter how we worked and groomed Ourselves to be pleasing in His sight. We’re too far down to find the way […]

The American Church’s Corporate Confession of Sin
We have sinned against You, oh Lord, in thought, word, deed (and absence of good deeds). We have failed to intervene and stop the nigh-on-five-decade-long American Holocaust. We have shunned, rather than honored, those who have solitarily lifted a finger to light a match to burn, bomb to blow up an abortuary. Content to continue […]

Sometimes We Must Rest
2 Chron 29:21 Sometimes we must rest And revel in our salvation From earth to another station, Where in that eternal location We will reign forever with Him; Where the redeemed: fat and slim, Will abide forever in perfection; No more in need or direction. Done with bulls, rams, and lambs He takes us out […]

Separation: Damn the Democrats
Just as we would separate ourselves from an association with Nazis or the KKK, so ought we to shun the damned pro-abort Democratic party! And yet, many Christians still remain happily in fellowship with such a damned political party! What’s up with that? Sin! We may easily suppose that such is the explanation. It makes […]

Abortion: the Simple Truth
Every child in sinful from the moment of conception, whether conceived through fornication, adultery or holy matrimony. That is the truth we have from God’s word. It is the consequence of our forefather, Adam and his disobedience. And yet each child retains and bears the very image of God (imago Dei) from that same point […]

Buboom!
When an abortuary is incinerated Or when an abortionist is terminated, There is cause for lifted spirits and gaiety! Celebration for both clergy and laity That the threat to classes high and law Can be taken out by a single bowAnd arrow or well aimed shot From across the parking lot! Little babies need not […]

Be Forgiven!
Don’t wallow in your misery. His blood flowed with eternal power to provide forgiveness for all people for all time. It is powerful as He, God, is powerful. He is the Almighty, the Son together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God. Confess it, repent, and live. 13 January, 2022

Conversations in Heaven
I am imagining heaven, sitting around with some angels talking with other humans about their exploits back in Earth Time. It wouldn’t be bragging because we would be without sin; we would talk about our harrowing days in conflict with a sin-ridden world. “Yeah, I died in Nam, serving my country,” one might say. Then […]
