The Messiah, Jesus, is both “Son of God” and “Son of Man.” He is divine . . . and human – by the incarnation. We, people, by contrast, are human by nature; we are not divine. We have a wonderful heritage coming to us: eternal life going forward. But we have no eternality – going […]

Fad, not comfort, rules! Indeed do we bow to the trend; Not to our own pleasure bend. We wear tight belts or pinned up hair; Might even leave our arms bear, If showing the shoulder is in.Yeah, we are driven by popularity;Want someone to think we’re pretty.Oh what a creature is man (and woman!)Don’t forget […]

One of the great down-sides of “political liberty” is the freedom to sin. We decriminalize sodomy and abortion and permit people to sin freely. The moral restraint, that just Law provides, is absent from such “free” societies. And such “freedom,” frees people from the benefits of God’s sovereign, just, and holy decrees. Real freedom comes […]

You believe in the Right to Life? Hmm. What do think, then, of Democrats? How are they any different from Nazis? Were Germans of eight decades ago any worse than today’s Democrats? We see, easily, the sins of others – of past generations. But we cannot see the sin in ourselves. We don’t look into […]

They both despise a particular class of human beings. Politically, they held much power, although Hitler’s power was monarchic. Both strayed from affirmation of authentic Christianity. Morally, they are on the same level. 5 Dec., 2023

A “church” that will not drop sinners (of which category practicing heretics are included) from its membership rolls is no church. God’s church is holy. It practices discipline. It corrects or shuns heretics and excommunicates those who walk in error (e.g. heresy). The retention of Biden by the Romanist “Church” is a substantial self-denial of […]

“Don’t like slavery?” said the slavers To the abolitionists. “Don’t have one!”And so say abortionists to the pro-lifers:“Don’t like abortion?
