It is the soldier, not the reporter who gave us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet who gave us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag.
And whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows protesters to burn the flag.
Rev. Dennis Edward O’Brian, […]
Two soldiers met a brigand or robber. One fled, the other stood his ground and defended himself courageously.
When the assailant was shaken off the coward came running up and drew his sword. Let me deal with him, he said, as he threw back his cloak. I will show him what sort of men he has […]
“The good Education of Youth has been esteemed by wise Men of all Ages as the surest Foundation of Happiness both of private Families and Common-wealth’s. Almost all governments have therefore made it a principal object of their attention. To establish and endow with proper Revenues, and Seminaries of Learning, as might supply the succeeding […]
The Bible a most fascinating book. The use of allegorical characters used to paint a picture for all time. Resulting in biblical writers like Moses, Solomon, David, Joel, right on through to John’s Revelation to pick up on those themes. Followed by centuries of theologians right on down to our time continuing the discussion. […]
Jesus taught many different kinds of lessons. So one day he said, “For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If you know these things, happy are […]
The United States is bogged down with so many external problems. That she has lost sight of the diseases that are destroying her internally. The following is kind of like a maze that in its own way is a diagnosis of that internal disease.
Some say, birds of a feather flock together. Suggesting a comfortable sense […]
Here they are, questions to be answered about the dead, and the living, and everything in between.
We already know from yesterdays posting that blessed are those who will have part in the first resurrection, Revelation 20:6. And the question has been raised concerning those who died before the time of Christ? Will they just just […]
Yesterday, one of the most liturgical days of the church calendar. Observed as ‘Pentecost,’ which assures, “… That whoever calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved,” Acts 2:23. Made necessary, “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive,” 1 Corinthians 15:22.
Before Pentecost, going back centuries […]
How does one determine which one of God’s Holy days are the most important? One doesn’t because God’s Holy days are sequel. One Holy day building upon another. Which indeed are holidays, but not like those created by man. Which the prudent person would ignore, and turn their focus upon God’s Holy holidays days for […]
The people whose government became a drunkard; devised a plan to cure it of their failings. They waited til it was dead drunk-blind to the world-and then hoisting it on their shoulders, They carried it to the cemetery and dumped it there!
When they thought the government had time to sleep it off, years […]
Even when things do not make sense people show allegiance to a killer who prohibits killing.
What goes around, goes around, goes around and comes all the way back around. Here it is the life-death cycle. Experienced by joyful, and sad families depending where that family is at the moment, when that event makes its cycle.
For sometime this writer has been thinking about a comment made awhile ago concerning the death […]
Some remarks need to be dealt with because the remark is so very profound. It is what the biblical prophet said about religious co-existence. It is found in Micah 4:5, “For all people will walk in the name of his god.” Suggesting more than one God. With Genesis 1:26, concurring, “And God said let “us” […]
Pithy rhymes have a way of capturing occurrences; often in mocking fashion. Centuries ago the phrase, “Humpty Dumpty,” was used to mock fat people. Then an event occurred in history to tell another pithy rhyme in mocking fashion. As two armies massed for battle upon a lofty hill. One led by King Richard 111 of […]
And when I think, that God not sparing his son;
Sent Him to die, I scare can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
From that stanza, it appears Boberg’s mind drifted from the glorious creation that grasped his being, after encountering a life threatening thunderer storm. […]
Jesus referred to burdens as gifts from God. “Come into me, all who labor and are heavy laden, And I will give you rest. Take my yoke (way) upon you, and learn from me; (a worthy pursuit and teaching goal of CFS) for I am meek and lowly in heart, (humility a spiritual necessity) and […]
The “US” and “them” of Genesis, suggest multiple GODS and religions = inequality
Here we are, nearing the end of another work week of toil. Ordered by God Almighty himself as compensation for a nature contrary to his nature. Because of that he said, “… in the sweat of your face shall you eat bread …,” Genesis 3:19.
Many will dispute such an assertion arguing that equating sweet and […]
The woman applying for a job at a Florida lemon grove seemed to be far to qualified for the job.
The foreman frowned and said, “I have to ask you this, have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?”
“Well, as a matter of fact, I do!” she replied, ‘I’ve been divorced three times and I […]
“It’s an unquestionable truth that the body of people in every country desire sincerely its prosperity. But it is equally unquestionable that that they do not possess the discernment and stability necessary for systemic government. To deny that they are frequently led into the grossest of errors by misinformation and passion, would be a flattery […]
