Inventors of Evil
Lorraine Rothman is regarded as a hero for those who believe that murdering pre-born babies is morally acceptable. Reading this is like reading about Josef Mengele’s “research”. The abortion machine is simple, compact, & absolute murderous evil.

King of Love
King of Love you’ve called my name
You gave me life although the shame,
Had covered me, you took my hand,
And here I stand, I’m saved by grace.
Father God, you heard the prayer
From deep within my spirit cried
If there’s a God, come rescue me,
Now here I stand, I’m saved by grace.
I will thank you for saving my soul,
For you’ve shown me the truth in your...

Alpha Male
On the most recent report card my son received a lower grade in P.E. than he had the previous report card. Upon inquiring about it, the teacher told me it was because he has a hard time going less than 100% & dominates the other kids. She said “When it comes to physical play & P.E. he’s the Alpha Male in a class of competitive boys”. I have to be honest, its pretty hard...

Youth Ministry Rant
I just received an email from a youth ministry organisation, Simply Youth Ministry (SYM), encouraging me to check out their “ministry partner. It was a promo for Youth Speaker U. I can’t tell you how disappointed I was in its content. It was ridiculous. In the promo video I heard the speaker refer to youth ministry as “our industry” several times. I’m in ministry, not...

By His Blood...
“The Bible says he was raised not just after the blood-shedding, but by it. This means that what the death of Christ accomplished was so full and so prefect that the resurrection was the reward and vindication of Christ’s achievement in death.” ― John Piper, Passion of Jesus Christ

A Much Greater Miracle
“If the defeated and depressed group of disciples overnight could change into a victorious movement of faith, based only on autosuggestion or self-deception—without a fundamental faith experience—then this would be a much greater miracle than the resurrection itself”

100 Pianos
“Has it ever occurred to you that 100 pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So 100 worshipers together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become “unity” conscious...
I Dare Not Trust...
My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope...
And now to Him...
And now to Him who purchased the church with his own blood, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, and exercises a tender care over the weakest and meanest of his flock;—to Him…do I now desire to devote my strength, my life, my all; to be employed how, and as long, as his unerring wisdom shall direct and appoint. And the Lord grant! that I may obtain mercy to be found...

I bind unto myself the Name
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
I bind unto myself the Name,
The strong Name of the Trinity;
By invocation of the same.
The...

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
By Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a...
"The Road Not Taken" By: Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning...

good advice... cheesy, but good.
On your journey to find yourself, don’t lose who you are.
"We know what we are doing."
As I write this it is the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark legal decision that opened the way for open & legal abortions on demand in the US. I reflect on a day’s worth of reading on the topic of Infanticide. I have spent several hours today reading medical journals, articles, listening to interviews, & most importantly reading Scripture to keep my nerves raw so that when I...

MLK
Some of my family members marched with black students for integration in Alabama in the 1960’s. So grateful that they played a part in helping create an environment where a black man can be elected to the highest office in the land. #inaug2013
