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 […]

(In the Land of the Free to Err and Go to Hell) Maybe you’re stuck, having been sucked Into the false teachings of Wierville,Smith, or the Watchtower “witnesses.”Oh those anti-Trinitarian heretics flourishIn the home of the brave and land of the free!Freedom to follow any god you choose!Oh, but best to get back to what […]

Zeus had nine daughters,But he got nothin’ on me.Mine know the LordAnd in His service they are!His worshiped the starsOr whatever was handy to praise.Got to get those basics straightIf you want to enter the heavenly gaitAnd miss that nasty burn!Serve the Lord and duly learnThat it is by His grace you get saved!Got nothin’ […]

Like Zeus, I had nine daughters But mine were much more fair than his:Mine were named in honor of our LordAnd His call for Christians to follow Him.It is the Triune God, Father, Son, and SpiritTo whom all honor, service and worship is due.All other gods are but the vain imaginings of men:Idols good for […]

Since the fall of man and God’s plan To restore the dignity of Adam through death, The matters of sacrifice and trouble has beset Humanity and the whole world. It is normal, right, and good to go through trials: The means of divine grace by which He transforms Those whom He has called out of […]

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 […]

What brings the strongest unity to a nation isThat unity which comes from a people “under God.”And how foolish it is to attempt to strengthenA nation on the basis of anything but God!Such a Godless people are weak and vulnerable.But a people whose laws are grounded in Truth,That which is revealed by God in His […]

Pro-life Americans are the heart of America. Maybe you think them to be extreme:Indeed, as the heart like a streamPumping constantly without rest!Yeah, there is extremity in truth;It rejects falsehood and evil.Sorry, it is not tolerant of perversion.But thanks be to God for truthAnd for sending the Truth to us to dieFor our disgusting, baby-killing, […]

I was laicized by no one. My status as a teacher never changed; The disbanding of a church And the shuffling of its people Dispersed into new assemblies Is a feature of the Spirit’s movements.He does what He wills apart from our thrillsOr objections to His choices and decrees.Sometimes we are in for a squeezeAs […]

The Wiervillain Way is, of course, the wrong way. It is the way of the Triune One which saves your day. Indeed, it is the way to save your eternity from hell. Of all things in this life, the honoring of God is your duty. No matter all the joy you get from philosophy or […]
