That Resurrection for Those Who Hope in Him
Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus (a.k.a. Tertullian), the late second century church father, says: The worshippers of God will be with God forever, clothed with the proper substance of eternity (“resurrection flesh”); but the profane and all who are not wholly devoted to God, in the punishment of fire which is just as eternal. (Apologeticus, 48) […]

Defiance!
7 Dec., 2018 Wilmington: Abortion-Free Zone (Redux) When ought cities and towns resist, even defy, the authority of the higher (case-in-point, federal) power? Is it possible that cities and towns can be spared the righteous wrath of God when it falls upon a nation? Let us hope so. We have solid grounds for such a hope. […]

National Enquirer Knows Something!
What is the State of the Union? How are we faring as a people? Not well, I must say. Not until we are rid of this suffocating stench of innocent blood. Get educated! When may one person kill another one? Is there such a principle? May we defend the innocents? Don’t we send men into […]

Epictetus on Wrestling
12 Nov., 2018 The “Golden Sayings” of Epictetus, the first century Greek philosopher, were compiled by a contemporary philosopher and historian, Arrian. Epictetus is the main authority on Stoic morals of which he gained an understanding probably from the lectures of C. Musonius Rufus. Of the 189 Sayings, many reference wrestling. I am happy to […]

Baptismal modes
31 July, 2017 Dear Dale, I am offering you some thoughts regarding your “Baptism Sermon” as we might call it – on Sunday. I enclose an essay I wrote a long time ago for my SS class at a Lutheran Church; nothing has changed since then. I appreciate your continued faithfulness in preaching from the […]

The Biblical Optimist
10 Nov., 2018 The wicked have murdered their own progeny. The righteous will rise and rule in their place. In view of the American (and, indeed, world-wide, thanks to American influence abroad) holocaust of the past 44 years since SCOTUS imposed Roe upon the world, there is ray of optimism to be found. The wicked […]

The False God of Islam
9 Nov., 2018 As there is only one God, the Triune God of the Scriptures, revealed to the world in the second person of the Trinity, the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the god of Islam is a false God. Islam denies Jesus as Lord and God and so denies the Truth. Simple. Aasia Bibi […]

Ya Turn ’em Loose!
8 November, 2018 The message to our President regarding our anti-abortion prisoners of Christ must be: “Ya turn ’em loose.” That scene in the film, “A Time to Kill,” based upon John Grisham’s novel by the same title comes strongly to mind. There on the witness stand is the sheriff who was maimed by the […]

Sacred Sex and Secular Dope
6 Nov. 2018 Our laws reflect our backward American priorities when compared to those of the Scriptures. One is the sacred, the other is not. Yet the sacred is unprotected by the law, while the secular is fiercely regulated. The Scriptures speak against drunkenness, not drinking (nor smoking, or smoking dope). Drinking and smoking are […]

SCOTUS the Mad Man
The darling of the damned must be dethroned. It is not the Lawgiver. But it has functioned as the Law Blasphemer, the Destroyer of National Justice, the Suborner of Morality. More egregiously yet, it is the purveyor of the national, even world holocaust as the highest court of the most influential nation in the world. […]

The SCOTUS Cabal
27 Oct., 2018 How is that that a “free people” are so base as to submit for 44 years to a Satanic decree issued by a band of Lawless modernists?

Save the Babies!
30 Oct., 2018 “Where have all the children gone?” So pondered Randy Riley (WNJ, 29 Oct., 2018). Randy Riley wants us to “Vote yes on the Children Services Levy.” Hmm.
