The Triune God is the One that is true; Know Him now before your life is through. Don’t skip your time away in absence From the People of God who break the bread; It’s His life that keeps you from being dead. Indeed, that life is found among His people Sharing the Faith, the Bread […]

(To the tune of “Dreaming of a White Christmas”) I’m looking at a pagan Christmas Where people act so very crass Lots of goods and decoration But no time for celebration Of God coming into the flesh O that they’d come to know Jesus Who died and rose again for them Turn from their selfish […]

What are we saying when we befriend, Rather than confront, a sodomite?We are saying, “I prefer the comfort Of camaraderie to the joy of saving Truth! Your soul means less to me than socialization; I want a comfortable place in the nation! Yes, I want to get along with everyone; Want to join with all […]

We generally associate a “Mass” with the death of Christ for our sins by which we are given life. But in Christmas we are not directly in celebration of a special Eucharist or “Mass.” We are celebrating the incarnation of God. We are celebrating the long-awaited arrival (preceding His death for our sins and His resurrection […]

For whom do we pray salutarily? And for whom imprecatorily? Depends upon our mood And His leading as we commune With the One Who gave the command. He who made us and brought us out of death Will save those whom He chooses And by His grace and purpose He will use us. Ours is […]

We tend to crown folks as martyrs from those who are “over there.” We just can’t muster up the sympathy for, or respect due, martyrs who are nearby. Neighbors just aren’t to be respected as heroes! They are – just neighbors. Common folk disconnected from those super-hero martyrs who come from somewhere over there. It […]

The essence of civility is the condition where the affirmation of good and denunciation of evil is carried out in public. Justice is not a private matter, but one which is acknowledged in law and visible to the public. In the cases of sodomy and abortion, we, as a nation, no longer denounce the murder […]

Mormon: “There is only one God [with whom we have to do]” (but we believe in many gods; we are polytheists like the pagans of old, says the honest Mormon in his heart). Christian: “Good to hear that! And who is this God but the One: Father, Son, and Spirit who lives as love, almightily, […]

(A Repentant Sodomite) It’s a new age don’t ya know! The likes of Mervyn Tucket, We just don’t see today. He confessed his sin of sodomy And went to his death in England. ‘Twas long ago in the day of light Back when there was Wrong and Right. An English nobleman he was; Yeah, a […]
