A cheap shrink for all those church members who can’t afford to pay for psychiatric care?

We, at conception, existed complete in our humanity! We lack nothing to be granted all honors as […]

“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 […]

“This is my body!” said Jesus. Not, “This is my Covenant Sign”! Come a little further, Presbies! Think incarnation of God. Miracle! Holy Spirit indwelling the Church.

In the days before Roe, the great triumph over evil in America was that achieved by Martin Luther King. Segregation, the heir of slavery, was defeated by one who opposed that evil head on. The new evil which still abides across the land, despite the overturning of the satanic Roe v. Wade “opinion,” is the […]

We butcher babies in the name of “choice” Like keeping slaves in the name of “property.”How dark are the ways of the pagan As he puts his selfish will above That of sacrifice and love For the weak and helpless. But such is the way of natural man, A sinner who does all that he […]

The church is about sound doctrine (per the Scriptures and the Creeds), indeed. But it is also about the gathering: the “breaking of the bread.” There is a special presence of God in the “sacrament” – the “communion” or “supper.” We don’t accomplish such by mail or TV or “on-line.” We gather to break the […]
