It is a seductive proclamation. When one hears it trumpeted, his attention is expected and he is inclined to affirm whatever the proclaiming voice is advocating. Who can oppose “freedom”? Isn’t it “all good”? Of course not. Freedom to practice manstealing is not good. Freedom to butcher babies is not good. Freedom to sin is […]

What is the point of pursuing government and justice in states and nations if one does not know or cannot affirm an enduring truth which defines justice? What is the point of running for office or campaigning for a candidate when there is no basis for the government that the candidate wishes to serve (or […]

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 […]

And are we so proud and patriotic to think that we are a nation independent of God? We think we can abide with “freedom” without His justice? What kind of laws do we follow if not His? Of what are we “independent”? Are we without the need for the knowledge of what is truly “good” […]

He takes action, subjecting himself, dangerously, to the possibility of capture and punishment. So did the Savior. He took action, entering a world given over the Devil; a world full of disgusting sinners who would reject His efforts to save their disgusting souls. No one would ever choose Him. All are fallen sinners, rejecting Him, […]

Not really an issue. Might, in fact, need the invaders to remedy the devastation of the population brought to the nation by Roe and perverted pro-aborts (Dems). That reduction in “fetuses” (people) does hamper a robust economy in need of workers and consumers. The issues remain – sodomy and abortion – which proceed from the […]

She was the wife of my co-pastor, Mike Colvin, at Reformation Lutheran Church. She passed, very recently, into the presence of the Lord: Father, Son and Spirit, whom she diligently served and honored with her life. When we think of Claudia, the words “diligent, jovial optimism” come to mind. Little explanation is due. She was […]

“He treated everyone with love and respect,” says some goofball about Jesus on my Christian radio station. What?!? Where did you get that notion? That false teaching?!?!?!? Fool! Do I need to give a bunch of quotes from Him as He cussed out the Pharisees and tore up the temple? Read your Bible before you […]

Don’t need to join ’em who blow ’em away, But you can’t condemn ’em, is what I say! How can you uphold the sanctity of life And then denounce those who use the knife? Got to cut through such senseless rhetoric And honor that which does the trick! Don’t undercut the truth with stupid talk;Be […]
