Hold Or Fold?
When your opponent is holding all the aces there's only one thing to do. Kick over the table. Adapted, Dean Martin (1917 - 1995)
Grit
These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country. But he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered....
The Great Revelation
Glorious God, I bless thee that I know Thee. I once lived in the world, but was ignorant of its Creator, was partaker of Thy providences, but knew not the Provider, was blind while enjoying the sunlight, was deaf to all things spiritual, with voices all around me,...

The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the beginning and first essential of wisdom. Psalm 111:10, and, for good measure, also Proverbs 1:7 and Proverbs 9:10.

Exceedingly Abundantly More
Now all glory to God who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to do exceedingly abundantly more than we would ever dare to ask, hope or dream for. Ephesians 3:20 O GOD, I bless thee for the happy moment when I first saw thy law fulfilled in Christ,...
Government Is Not God
For Neo-Marxist Progressives politics is religion. That’s why they become verklempt (Note 1) when they start losing. For Conservatives, even though we know politics is important, we have another vision. As human beings, we know that the best politics will not save us...
FREEDOM
O HOLY FATHER, thou hast freely given thy Son,O DIVINE SON, thou hast freely paid my debt,O ETERNAL SPIRIT, thou hast freely bid me come,O TRIUNE GOD, thou dost freely grace me with salvation. Prayers and tears could not suffice to pardon my sins, nor anything less...
What Is The Question?
"Your abilities, skills, and talents are all gifts from God. Whatsoever then you do, whether in words or actions, do it all to the glory of God." Adapted, Paul's 1st Letter to the Corinthians 10:31 Worship isn't only church songs and music and Sunday sermons. Worship...
God’s Will For Your Life?
Looking for God's will for your life? Good news, it does not need to be found, it just needs to be obeyed. Because God's will for your life is revealed in the plain reading of Scripture.
On Pain
Now, what does pain do to make a man great? Well, pain is a purifier. We get learning out of books, but we get wisdom from suffering. Never go to consult a man who hasn't suffered in some way. Pain is like the tightening of the strings of a violin. It produces better...
