“Freedom!”
It is a seductive proclamation. When one hears it trumpeted, his attention is expected and he is inclined to affirm whatever the proclaiming voice is advocating. Who can oppose “freedom”? Isn’t it “all good”? Of course not. Freedom to practice manstealing is not good. Freedom to butcher babies is not good. Freedom to sin is […]

Lawless Politics
What is the point of pursuing government and justice in states and nations if one does not know or cannot affirm an enduring truth which defines justice? What is the point of running for office or campaigning for a candidate when there is no basis for the government that the candidate wishes to serve (or […]

Whenever you see someone misbehaving: Even just some sloppy bathroom shaving, Remember that we are all fallen critters, Always disrupting or offending someone. We all rub each other the wrong way From time to time and need to be awareAnd not just give one another a stare.How we, I indeed, fail to respect and restoreThose […]

Declaration of Dependence
And are we so proud and patriotic to think that we are a nation independent of God? We think we can abide with “freedom” without His justice? What kind of laws do we follow if not His? Of what are we “independent”? Are we without the need for the knowledge of what is truly “good” […]

Grave Robber!
He takes action, subjecting himself, dangerously, to the possibility of capture and punishment. So did the Savior. He took action, entering a world given over the Devil; a world full of disgusting sinners who would reject His efforts to save their disgusting souls. No one would ever choose Him. All are fallen sinners, rejecting Him, […]

Border?
Not really an issue. Might, in fact, need the invaders to remedy the devastation of the population brought to the nation by Roe and perverted pro-aborts (Dems). That reduction in “fetuses” (people) does hamper a robust economy in need of workers and consumers. The issues remain – sodomy and abortion – which proceed from the […]

Tribute to Claudia Colvin
She was the wife of my co-pastor, Mike Colvin, at Reformation Lutheran Church. She passed, very recently, into the presence of the Lord: Father, Son and Spirit, whom she diligently served and honored with her life. When we think of Claudia, the words “diligent, jovial optimism” come to mind. Little explanation is due. She was […]

Christian Radio Babble
“He treated everyone with love and respect,” says some goofball about Jesus on my Christian radio station. What?!? Where did you get that notion? That false teaching?!?!?!? Fool! Do I need to give a bunch of quotes from Him as He cussed out the Pharisees and tore up the temple? Read your Bible before you […]

Don’t Undercut the Truth
Don’t need to join ’em who blow ’em away, But you can’t condemn ’em, is what I say! How can you uphold the sanctity of life And then denounce those who use the knife? Got to cut through such senseless rhetoric And honor that which does the trick! Don’t undercut the truth with stupid talk;Be […]

Non-violence! It Is Our Tradition!
Well, that is fine when your are talking about achieving racial equality or the right of a woman to vote or hold office. But when you are talking about freeing those who have been enslaved by racial manstealing and trading of black people or when you are talking about the murder of womb-children, tradition may, […]

Christian Bachelor Fellowship
It is not strange. There have been monks and nuns down through the ages. There have always been single folks (Peter, Paul, and Mary?) who have done marvelously for the KOG! Talk it up! Promote it! Don’t be intimidated by the sodomites who abuse the grand station of bachelorhood! Think of those magnificent singles down […]

Christo-centric Posse Comitatus
When Lawlessness persists in a Godless society, the people of God must gird up their loins and re-establish justice. Such is the nature of true social reform – the Christendom-foundation, rising from the decadent Roman empire. Long live the advancement Western Civilization and the Reformation. The influence of the churches of God is socio-political, not […]

The National Bankruptcy that Social Security Is
I remember well when living in Germany at a military base where my dad was stationed. I had exited the USNA, happily expelled, in 1971. After hitch-hiking across the country and back, I headed to my parents and siblings in Stuttgart. While living there on the base, I took a job at a German department […]

“Can’t Forgive Myself”
Ever heard that blasphemous bullshit? Yeah. It says “God might forgive me, but I – being above God – can’t forgive myself.” It is the testimony of a blasphemous ass. Who do you think God is? Someone whose forgiveness you can cancel? Over-ride? You arrogant, self-centered, autonomous sinner! Repent and receive His grace!

Borders
Yes, a nation, like a family, has borders. It associates with other families, loves other families, avoids some families, but remains a family. There are certain internal standards which it holds dear and by which it governs its associations with others. 27 Jan., 2024

Ego Problem?
Whose definition of you is most important to you? That of your friends? Coaches? Teachers? Co-workers? Boss? If you are defined by Jesus as one whom He loves, what else matters? There is the basis for psychological stability. He has defined you, a believer, as His own, whom He loves. What else matters? 27 Jan […]

Christian Cop Arrests an Anti-abort Rescuer
“Sorry to have to arrest you, friend.” “No problem! I know you got to do your job. If not you, someone else would do it. What is coming down is coming down.” “Well, nevertheless, I am sorry that I have to be the one, in the moment, doing this nasty job of […]

Nine Daughters
Like Zeus, I had nine daughters But mine were much more fair than his:Mine were named in honor of our LordAnd His call for Christians to follow Him.It is the Triune God, Father, Son, and SpiritTo whom all honor, service and worship is due.All other gods are but the vain imaginings of men:Idols good for […]
