Salvation
On Pandemic Panic
“Do not forsake the assembly” (“except for persecution and pandemics,” says Second Delusions, Chapter 2?). Maybe church leaders wish there were some pseudepigraphal dictates in some dusty scrolls somewhere which might justify their closing of church doors during the latest flu (Corona) season. When Christians in times past faced not a little sickness, but execution […]

Masked Folk in Need of the Gospel!
Just finished a walk around my town. It’s a thing I do once, sometimes twice, a day. We live in downtown Wilmington, Ohio, just a few blocks from the major buildings: the Catholic Church and the city haul. It is 27 July, hot out, and folks are backing off from the masking. Businesses are dropping […]

Over the Brook Kidron
(2 Sam 15:20f.) They passed over the brook Kidron, David and all his men. ‘Twas a wrenching of the heart, indeed, But necessary to be freed From the war brought by Absalom; Had to head toward pagans and slums. It was bye-bye to Ittai, the Gittite, But that man wanted to do right. Said, “Wherever […]

Those Fuggers Back in Germany
Back when the Fuggers were in Babenhausen Marrying with a lot of class within their class, They were earning those ducats in the day Leading in a mighty capital way And quite prosperously one can say. But you always got to remember, Whether January, June or December No matter what time of your life Or […]

A Poor Woman, Truly Perverted
Now here is a woman perverted, All her brain power duly exerted, Her selfish self to satisfy With no good reason why She would choose her foolish notions Over the prophets whose holy devotions Were given to us to trust. But without His word, we thrust Our lives into a world of rust Where we […]

A Fine Gittite Was Ittai
2 Sam. 15 Well, his name means “brother of foolishness” And it’s a name that fit him quite well; Yeah, we’re talkin’ ’bout Ahithophel. Well, Abby plotted with that old man, A counselor from a city called Giloh. Well, they worked on a genuine conspiracy To take King David right on down. “Arise and let […]

A Selfish Fellow
A selfish fellow I am, indeed. I want a good life; I get me a wife And she gets me some children to love. But soon they fly away like that dove In my yard every morning. They return now and then, again and again And we’re glad for what we’ve been given: Lives to […]

Is Father Gilespie Some Kind of Whore?
Or is he just a coward? Why give the Lord’s Supper to an unrepentant sinner? I.e., a sinner who continues in his sin without repentance? Discipline for flagrant sinning is Christianity 101! Good that folks at LifeNews are putting out this important information. Biden ought to get no Supper from an authentic church. What is with the Romanists? […]

More Shuttered Poetry
Like all sinful wretches No goodness he fetches Travelling that long, broad road. Then comes a bump in the path Diverting him from the wrath. Awakened, he turns from his sinning. Yes, but it’s only the beginning! Got plenty of hoops to run through And deeds he must do. He was not saved to do […]

Non-conformity Was a Thing
Non-conformity was a thing Way back in the day, The hew and cry of the hippies Calling the nation away From fixation on money and things. But to the Law of God they had no strings Attached to keep themselves afloat In a sea with darkness all about. Separation from greed is very good thing […]

Maybe You’re a Pervert
Maybe you’re a pervert wrestlin’ with sin (Got that problem deep down within); Can’t justify your wicked ways. But don’t worry about what you gonna say; You deal with God on that Judgment Day! He’s just and will deal with your sway. Got to look to the Law for guidance; Don’t join with the world […]

In a Jam?
When you find yourself in a jam: “He’s better than you and I am In looks, wits, and appearance!” Just remember that at the clearance Of all the fakery and facade When all are facing God, What will matter will be our deeds: Justice and meeting peoples’ needs. You know He’s the Great Intercessor And […]

Judges 7
When Gideon beat those Midianites They fled to Bethshittah Getting’ whipped by God’s humble people Makin’ ’em look with wonder and awe! Had to flee that heavenly spanking! Got to go; those tent pegs yanking! Need a brand new place to abide From those mighty victors got to hide! Time to run without spear or […]

Sometimes We Stand Alone
Sometimes we stand alone Wishing we could all go home, And sometimes we have people around, The kind that are rare to be found. Diligent to serve the King They don’t hold back a thing. Standing for Truth with benevolence, The deeds of this life are evidence That He’s got them under His care And […]

Tchaikovsky Was a Fag They Say
So Tchaikovsky was a fag they say At least that’s the word for today. Got to pay him some tribute For giving chastity the boot? And from the law we should run away? Do your own thing? A gay song to sing? They don’t say that he was active. Maybe just to “pervs” attractive! We […]
