These Godless, treacherous delinquents ought not to be treated as “protestors” but as treacherous delinquents who despise government. […]

Suicidal Democracy
It is the nature of this beast. “The people” choose what they think to be best for themselves. But, of course, in their selfishness and Lawlessness, they choose poorly. Having rejected the wisdom of God in favor of the wisdom of men, they play the fool and follow the path of self-destruction. It is only […]

Selfish for Judgment Day

We live and move […]
