When some one says to you, “Ask anything of me and I will do it.” That’s a promise, and to protect ones credibility the pledge must be kept. It was Jesus, who made that declaration. Causing much disillusionment, when sincere Christians prayed such prayers that fell on deaf ears. While some stuck around, but bundled […]

I recently submitted a building permit application for a new house.
It was going to be 100 ft. tall and 400 ft. wide. With nine gun turrets at various heights and windows all over the place and a loud outside entertainment sound system. It would have had parking for 200 cars and I was going to […]

opium for the mind may be good for the soul in Tampa Bay and across the nation, but it must be free of government intrusion.

Then sings my soul, My Savior God to Thee,
How Great Thou art, How Great Thou art!
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Then sings my soul, My Savior God to Thee,
How […]

Our need for sustainability is because it’s required that our mortal beings bless the LORD. Acknowledging His greatness as a independent sovereign being of incomprehensible honor and majesty to the human experience. Whose being must be seen as a sovereign clothed as light. Allowing us mortals to see Him as a curtain stretched out like […]

Christ the revolutionary providing a way to avoid religious and state oppression for Tampa Bay.

When out of nowhere, God gives his church two wings, as of a great eagle. So that she might fly into the wilderness, and find her place of nurture. Which is her’s for awhile, and it’s secure from the presence of that awful masquerading shape shifting Serpent. (Scriptural text:Revelation 12:14).
Metaphors and symbols the language of […]

Once there was this guy, who had a very strange notion, at least by today’s opinions. Here’s some stuff about a governor, who saw America through a lens that seemed to resonate with people. Today such a notion might seem rather repulsive to a vast number of people. Seasons change and so do the times. […]

There was this guy, who made a living by beating up on Christians. It was a state job and he loved the job. Because not only could he beat up Christians, he could torture them and even kill them. For this guy, this was the perfect job. At this particular time in his life, he […]

Old Scourge of Christmas wears many faces, all year long. All of them with an ugly smirk on their faces. Signaling that there’s nothing real about the season. And seemingly, most American’s walk stiff legged and locked stepped to the beat of their denials.
A very long time ago an old man, named Jacob, gathered his […]

Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall. And called Jesus, and said unto him, are you the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, are you asking on your own account or did others tell you about me? Pilate answered, am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you unto me. […]

For some reason, some think that this padre is somehow involved in politics and has a political agenda. Nothing could be further from the truth! My mission is one of complete devotion to Jesus Christ. Involvement or association with the political process is in opposition to the teachings of God Almighty. Consider James 4:4, which […]

Often referred to as the Lord’s day. If I were to ask my students, to write an essay on the Lord’s day. I would get a lot of blank looks. But if, I were to ask them to write an essay about Easter. The blank looks would disappear, and I would see from their expressions, […]

It is recorded for a reason. Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, you be happy, and it shall be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house. Your children like […]

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. Verily, verily, I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If […]

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 […]

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death, Revelation 12:11.
And then there was Peter, quick to speak, hot tempered and argumentative, even with Jesus. And, a man of behavioral regrets. Who would blaze new frontiers for his […]

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 last cycle.
For sometime this padre has been thinking about a comment made awhile ago concerning the […]

Seldom do two different worlds meet with similarity of the spoken word with accuracy as the following. “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy,” Ernest Benn, 1875-1954.
All because of that the following, “The government consists of a gang of […]

Most resist the reality that the United States was designed by God to be his representatives to propel his righteousness to the American people. With the American people, then destined to take his righteousness to the global community.
Since the nations birth those notions have been under attack. With Washington Post columnist, Michael Garson taking issue […]
