She Taught Me to Stand Up - Mother's Day, 2021

 This was my 2021 Mother's Day Poem to Mom.


 

She taught me to stand up

From dodge ball to baseball
to unfairness to business.
With tears I see her fade
But I know she taught me,
and here I stand, in principle,
born again, and standing firm
in the power of the Word.
With tears I see her fade,
But I know the lion she was,
and is and always shall be.
She taught me to stand up,
to sing praises to the Lord,
who is our only good,
To bring Heaven to this lowly earth,
To disrupt realities with forgiveness
and acts of unrequited love.
She taught me to stand up,
when all the world would sit down.
She taught me to stand up.
She taught me how
to conquer all. She is my all,
and always will be
my all; my first all.

How the War on Truth Is Destroying Our World Part One

            It amazes me that otherwise intelligent people believe in an idea that all of this marvelous clearly designed world with all it's abundant life and infinite complexity could just have happened by accident. Just look at the complexity of the cell, or birds flying in formation, or an infection repairing itself, trees bearing fruit, farms producing tons of produce daily; everyone knows this is all by design. Us humans will never have the ability to design like the Designer designs. To say that this world and universe happened by accident is simply and CATEGORICALLY false.      Who would believe in something so stupid as Macro-Evolution, the theory that proposes this creation is an accident? The person who hates God, of course. God is not one of many possibilities. He is the ONLY possibility and every human being KNOWS that God exists. Leftists, atheists, and their ilk want to take the rest of us for a rollercoaster ride whe...

The Joke’s on You - A Believer’s Letter to Nonbelievers

  Insanity has made great strides in the last few years in the world. The progressive degeneration of the human mind has led to massive tragedies that are unfolding, and will unfold in the near future . Satan knows what he’s doing which is what he always has done, to cause people to destroy themselves so that he will not be alone in his lake of fire.   That is why the nonbelievers are pushing the climate change hoax, so that we would ban carbon dioxide, a gas that we emit ourselves, a gas that life needs to sustain itself. God must have erred in using carbon as a building block of life. Who knew? God messes up everything according to the non-believers. That is why children are being convinced that they were born the wrong gender, that God screwed that up, too. Nonbelieving parents are destroying their children’s bodies in “gender-affirming” surgeries, creating an underclass of people who will be miserable all their lives, unable to be intimate with another.   ...

Satan's Frightening Rise

  Satan’s Frightening Rise Many people who are religious and many who are not have said that they feel Satan is rising in recent years. For the purpose of clarity I want to focus on a select number of areas that are most obvious because they follow a family resemblance of the devil detailed in the Bible; Satan's fingerprints in today's headlines. If you don’t believe in the Bible or Satan, I still feel that you will find the following thought experiments very provocative. First, Satan has always been on the move but he always surprises us. The world asked itself, “How could a developed nation like 1930s Germany have fallen for the sham of fascism?” You may have seen that horrid clip of well-dressed, obviously upper-crust Germans, watching emotionless as naked Jewish men, women, and children were herded into a box truck and moments later watched as a thick tube was attached to the rear of the truck to pump a poisonous gas into it. The group of men looked on as if they were watch...
