The church was to be ruled by elders Not a pastor, don’t you see? ‘Twas always a better way To avoid, you know, a monarchy. You can see it throughout the scriptures, But it seems people pay them no mind. Rather make it all nice and easy To whine at one, the many, all the […]

“Reproductive rights” re the slaughter of babies in the womb reminds one of “property rights” re the enslavement of black people. Nice wicked euphemisms – for the selfish oppressors to wield in accordance with their wicked wants. 3 Feb., 2023

A cheap shrink for all those church members who can’t afford to pay for psychiatric care? To such, so it seems, that the office has been transmuted over time as churches have lost their identity and evolved into psycho-socio-therapy organizations. Quite a far cry from a militant army of God taking ground for the Kingdom […]

The right to abort an abortionist Is a genuine appendancy In a real life emergency. When a baby’s life is at stake, Drastic measures we may take. So get off your duff and defend this stuff; Speak the truth with consistency! Are people created in the imago Dei Or are you a fake Christian at […]

Christian doctrine affirms both. We declare the reign of Christ (and His law) and we affirm separation from evil, from the world. We proclaim and labor for the reign of Christ now and until His very return. But we do not tarnish ourselves with the world in which we live as we proclaim the truth […]

“Dark blobs.” So might black people have been regarded by the “pale blobs” in the ante-bellum world by today’s euphemistic terminology used for the covering of evil. Oh but today we are progressive! We treat “blobs of tissue” equally, regardless of race! A person can be butchered in the womb regardless of his […]

“In sin did my mother conceive me,” says God’s word. ‘Tis, indeed, a negative affirmation of the dignity That is man’s because of the imago Dei that he bears, But take what is and affirm that divine principle. 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 […]

So it is, generally, with post-bellum moderns. But, truly, we cannot deride the slave-world of the past. We got nothin’ on them; we are surely not less decadent. Is not the butchery of an innocent person a greater crime than the enslavement of him? “Modern,” “enlightened” and “civilized,” we are yet decadent sinners. How about […]

“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. He is present, still, since Pentecost! With us! Come to Luther! Think: God with us. Think: God the Holy Spirit with us and in us. “This is my […]
