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 […]

21 Aug. , 2019 So far this anti-abortionist who refuses to pay taxes, of which monies some is spent to commit abortions, is safe. He is, of course, right. A government which so egregiously, first permits such a crime and then, (secondly and even more disgustingly) pays for the same with the money extracted […]

(Inspired by [and in mockery of] Country Joe McDonald’s tirade at Woodstock against Americans in the Viet Nam War.)

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; […]

6 August. 2018 FBI: How About Repentance and a Revival! Good to hear about the FBI being on course chasing bad guys. After wasting much money and shamelessly chasing the good guys (anti-abortionists) rather than the bad (pro-aborts), they are reportedly in high profile going after violent white supremacists. See the story here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/08/the-fbi-crushed-the-klan-and-should-target-violent-white-supremacists-today/ Those […]

It is no small thing – to abandon Christ. Once one has come to a knowledge of the Truth – deliverance from sin and death by the precious work of the Messiah and His death for the sins of the whole world – and then turn and renounce this Truth, you are in grave danger. […]

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 […]
