Author of A Time To Kill
17 February, 2020 Oh February! What a Dark Past You Have! The Februarius Mensis, the cleansing month, so-called because of the festival Februa (see februum: “religious purification” and Februa, the Roman feast of purification held on 15 February) reminds us of the pagan past from which Western (and especially Christian) civilization emerged. (Thanks be to […]
20 Jan., 2020 He is the well-known Director of the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and an author and the host of “The 90-Second Naturalist.” Maynard presumes the origin and otherwise obvious design of the world to be “natural” rather than divinely orchestrated. Such a presumption – that the world is Godlessly “natural” – is the […]
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 […]
11 Oct., 2019 Peace Corp Monica Re: https://www.lifenews.com/2019/10/10/new-planned-parenthood-global-director-admits-our-main-job-is-to-attack-president-trump/ Well, well, well, Monica Kerrigan, the Peace Corp hero, learned from that lefty organization, one can presume, how one ought to regard humanity (just another animal type) and what a drag people are to the planet. Those humanoids do populate and pollute. Got to reduce their numbers! […]
9 October, 2019 God uses all of His creation for His purposes. Among humans He has some “vessels of wrath” and others whom He has redeemed as is saving from the wrath to come. We focus our minds generally upon our Savior and occupy ourselves regularly with organized gatherings in which we thank Him corporately […]
5 Sept., 2019 Robert Verbruggen, writing for the “conservative” National Review, vies for approval and toleration of sodomy (Sept. 3, 2019, “Death of the ‘Gay Gene’”; see https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/death-of-the-gay-gene/). Since he finds persuasive evidence of this “orientation” to be genetic, sodomy must therefore merit approval and toleration. What is “natural” is good and must be permitted […]
23 August, 2019 The practice is at least as old as the Scriptures. And, indeed, Holy Writ calls for it! Why then, in our incessant folly, do we insist upon paying out lots of money to lock people up in jail rather than apply that therapeutic, Biblical solution? Here is a 20th century clip of […]
16 August, 2019 The Orthodox Presbyterians published their Trinity Hymnal in 1961, the 25th year anniversary of their existence as a denomination. They distinguished themselves, like Missouri Synod Lutherans and the Conservative Baptist Association and other mainline denomination groups from the apostasy of “modernists” who abandoned the historic, orthodox, and creedal view of the Scriptures; […]
24 July, 2019 (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, St. Augustine, vol. 3, “The Enchiridion,” p. 239)*: CHAPTER 4: The Questions Propounded by Laurentius It is your desire, as you wrote, to have from me a book, a sort of enchiridion, as it might be called–something to have “at hand”–that deals with your questions. What is to be sought after […]
22 July, 2019 From the following source, the wisdom of Augustine is cited here regarding the origin of the world and its age. (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, “The Works of Augustine,” vol. 3, chap. 9, “Enchiridion,” p. 239): When, then, the question is asked what we are to believe in matters of religion, it is […]
