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

The King & His Kingdom: INTERPRETIVE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM

It is the privilege and duty of every man (or single mom) to lead their family through the Scriptures in family worship. A basic knowledge of hermeneutics (the science and art of biblical interpretation) is helpful here. In my book, The King and His Kingdom, I lay out an acronym to remember principles (keys) of

AUTHORITY

The King's will bends men by decree and writes the laws of justice still, by His might all bend their knee and flaming angels obey His will. No man of earth contests His kingdom no puffed out chest's a threat to Him, men die as worms, fools without wisdom, but the kingdoms of the world

Atheism

Why injustice, abuse, cruelty? Why contradiction, incongruity? Why pain, turmoil, anguish? Why do we humans languish? What is so good about good health if it ultimately ends in our death.

Anatomy: Face

Why a face with eyes of azure? Staring gates of open pleasure. Why the sound of whistling, whining, soft and high, low and dying? Why the grasp of understanding with lips and tongue all underlying? Why smell's sense of familiarity, pleasant, pungent, and vulgarity? Why expression, eye brows, forehead? Written, scribbled, self-suggestive. Oh, the

The Gospeller

(This is a poetic-didactic story similar to and inspired by John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and The Life and Death of Mr. Badman. I'm writing it primarily for my family, but would you like me to complete this and publish it? Please comment if you wish. Thank you. The Lord bless it to your hearing.). There
