Apart from heaven, The greatest joy is our eleven. What gems they are, Walking in truth among us;An asset to our body politic,Advocating for true justiceAs defined by God’s Word.(Of course! How else to defineThat which is quite sublime!We need revelation from on highAnd, indeed, we got it!Those prophets and apostlesAnd God, Himself, incarnateHas revealed […]

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 […]

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 […]

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

Thank the Lord for the half of wits that I have!How good is such a beneficent endowment.Life could be worse, of course;I could be rejected, abandoned, and divorced!But I have been granted a faithful partner:A wife most fine is she for me.And so we go to the end of our course,Steadfast with God’s people and […]

“There’s gonna be a brighter day” – Correct! “There are gonna be some brighter days” – Correct! “There’s gonna be some brighter days” – WRONG! (And that’s the popular song! Teaching bad grammar millions of naïve children . . . and parents!) Oh this fallen world!

There surely is a moral evolution (or devolution) Of a people as they abide by or abandon The Law of God. Nations rise and fall sometimes by their brutality or passivity, But more rightfully by the moral behavior of the people Reflected in the standards that they maintain. Sadly, in the name of Freedom of […]

So children are declared in God’s word, As you know, to be a “blessing.” And you think otherwise; is that not so? So, are you saying that you don’t wantThat which God says is a good thing?!?Have you some knowledge above His,Such that you think more accuratelyAbout the nature of true beneficence?(O may your contemplation […]

The heathen will despoil anything sacred, But that doesn’t mean we withdraw or give in! We take back and restore those holy daysAnd we teach the people what they mean!We explain the Gospel and teach the Word.Run and hide away? That’s absurd!There are times to withdrawAnd avoid the Devil’s maw,And there are times to take […]
