Some Days I Think

I can't think. This world's a blur. I hate their sickness. I hate their cure. Such was I, no amateur. I still hate their pretty package of manure. Sin is dumb. The world's stupid. Get out of my face, you're worthless. But then I'm reminded that Christians are salt and light: Salt to prevent the

Heaven Begun

Who could have ever imagined the depths He would descend? From His Father's home, Father's throne, angels' gaze, heaven's dome, down, down, to the nether regions, home of men and Legions. Humble, He, to shame the mighty; meek at heart, not sightly. Further still now descends He down, bearing cross, wearing crown. Up He gets

The Cry of the New Nature

Like Paul of old I got life in my soul, put off the old, crucified to the world. This is definitive but there is the progressive, and with holiness I intend to be aggressive. I want to be purer than a Puritan, and dead to sin like perfect tense. My members yield as instruments, not

The New Normal

Its a brave new world, the year's nineteen-eighty-four, and the Fahrenheit's higher than its ever been be-451. The news speaks daily to the "raging" pandemic, so you can all live safely in a monitored planet. The worst kind of lies are the ones that seem true, and if you question the facts, then they'll question

Spiritual Adultery

Idolatry and adultery are not so far from each other. Its the substitution of the Fountain of living waters for broken cisterns - absolutely useless - or your fountain of youth for mere illusions. They go hand in hand, both using images, and excite your expectations and ambitions. Once allured by the promise of gratification

From an Anti-Vaxxer

With what do you make a vaccine? Babies chopped up in a can. The doctors, so wise, they "immortalize" cells that just last their life span. With what do you make a vaccine? Thimerosal (that's mercury). The doctors, so wise, cause those lazy eyes, seizures, autism, A.D.D. With what do you make a vaccine? Aluminum,

Foreskins and Frontlets

They shut the door of the kingdom, they don't even go in. Woe! They go great lengths for one convert but he will burn much worse. Woe! They make unfounded distinctions, confounding oaths of men. Woe! Strain a gnat, swallow a camel: neglecting faith, tithing dill! Woe! They clean the outer cup and dish, brim

The King & His Kingdom: Of Cataclysms and Catechisms

Growing up in an Alliance church setting, catechisms (like hymns), were old hat, so I didn't ever hear of them. The only knowledge I had about them was from the disdain my mother had for The Catechism of the Catholic Church. My wife also had a distaste for the liturgical monotony of her Lutheran past,

The King & His Kingdom: The Church: (The End-Time Kingdom Stewards and Corporate Image of the King)

Ecclesiology is the study of or a discourse regarding [logy = logos] the church [ecclesia]. In my book The King and His Kingdom I present Ecclesiology along with each of the other 10 categories of systematic theology through an eschatological-Christocentric lens. Christ is at the center of God's purpose that is unveiled at the end
