March, 2020 It is, of course, and thanks to a merciful Judge, long overdue. For us Yahweh worshipers (or Jesus freaks, as more modernly known), who are indignant of the national sin of abortion (five decades long) and the general flouting of God’s Law, we say a robust, “Amen!” O modern man who thinks he […]

A judgment fair Upon a people who dare To persist unmoved Unrepentant of sins astounding Abounding rather in foolish Confidence in their own security As a people, sovereign and Godless A law unto themselves Governed by SCOTUS. O please! What about US? What is that Red, White Blue with death ?No more breath. The Spirit […]

9 March, 2020 One way for an aspiring Christian writer to get his name out in public and to get “something published” is to write about tithing. Churches seem to love to circulate such among their members to fan the giving fever from time to time to keep the money rolling in. Hood’s Take God […]

6 March, 2020 In a perfect world God’s creatures would be able to focus their praise upon the One who made them gloriously in His image. But in a fallen world, His followers are necessarily engaged in and distracted by a two-fold polemic: 1) a continual militantly focused service of the One True God, and […]

25 Feb., 2020 The number of deaths from slavery (based upon man-stealing), originating in Europe and perpetuated in the Americas along with the number of deaths of Jews under the Nazi dominion pales absolutely to the number of deaths by abortion in America alone (42 million deaths in 2019 alone! See https://www.lifenews.com/2019/12/31/abortion-was-the-leading-cause-of-death-worldwide-in-2019-killing-42-million-people/) But, what is […]

23 January, 2020 I get a newsletter in the mail occasionally, titled Faith in Action, edited by one Ralph Reed. The publication is devoted to advancing morality in government for which I commend it. But it subverts this goal but undermining itself with non-sense support for the contemporary state of Israel. Millenarian fantasies – doctrinal […]

21 January, 2020 This tyranny is such that the nation sits on its firearms rather than raise them in defense of the innocents? How long? Kick SCOTUS in the buttocks and save the babies! What tyranny is this that the Congress and the Executive and all the fifty governors of the states in this union […]

20 January, 2020 Sometimes (blow ’em up) we need to make our messages less direct (blow ’em up). People cannot handle the truth unabashedly proclaimed. They need (blow ’em up) sometimes encouragement by indirect summons (blow ’em up) or exhortation. The call directly (blow ’em up) to a particular corrective or reformatory action is just […]

There is a time to be “negative” just as there is a time to be “positive.” We encourage and praise the speaking of truth and the doing of good and we discourage and excoriate the doing of evil and the utterance of heresy. The emphasis of most hortatory messages from Christian speakers – radio or […]

13 Dec., 2019 It is believed by many moderns that hanging is a “cruel and unusual” punishment. Even a quick, painless execution is deemed unconscionable by many who presume to know a justice above and beyond that which is dictated by the Creator. But to argue with the fool – he who believes in neither […]
