What does it mean to be a martyr, a witness, for Jesus? We might give consideration, in our times, to the one who saves the babies by blowing up abortuaries (and, sometimes, going to jail). Some time in the future, such will be regarded as martyrs. But there are others who have acted in a […]

Like a Hurricane Washing Over Me! Indeed, His grace is sovereign; Left to ourselves, no one would choose Him! Give, then, pure, unadulterated thanks!

In history was something you were born into, Or that you earned. It was not something that you claimed! It is a status that we, Americans, take for granted;We are accustomed to the status of a citizenWho has precious, blood-bought rights,And we bask in this condition as drunkardsUnaware of its origins or its providers.Spoiled brats […]
