“This Is My Body”!
“This is my body”! said Jesus. Not, “This is my covenant sign”! Come, Presbys, all the way to Luther! The incarnation of God into the world through the Son was a miracle which stayed with us, by the power of the Holy Spirit. He rose, indeed from the dead, and then the Spirit was sent […]

Jesus Was an Interventionist
He didn’t just pray and preach and wave the peace sign. He rebuked people. He tended the sheep. He tore up a desecrated temple. Yeah, He kicked some ass, so to speak. And He beat the hell out of the devil. (See Psalm 78:66) 9 Jan., 2023

Don’t Fear Those Who Hate
When the savage anti-Christ pursues And you have no clues, Don’t fear those who hate; Those who run with the reprobate. Hold fast to what you know is true And know that He’s always with you. He will lead and always be there Whether times are rough or fair. Yours is to endure and pursue […]

Answering the Question
How am I? Very thankful for my wits! Better to have half than none. (Some do lack for all); Others have senses of humor small. So on we must go through peril And ever must we herald The Coming already done And the One yet to come, When judgment falls upon earth For those with […]
