Anabaptists and Anti-Semitism

In my quest for truth over the years I have frequented various Churches and associated with those of different belief systems. I have gradually gravitated towards the Anabaptists because of their sacred history and persecution. I suppose that I fell more in love with their history than I have with the present-day Anabaptists who appear […]

Satan’s Sweet Song of Seduction

from Milton’s Paradise Lost “Nor more; but fled Murmuring, and with him fled the shades of night.” Close at mine ear one call’d me forth to walkWith gentle voice, I thought it thine; it said,Why sleepst thou Eve? now is the pleasant time,The cool, the silent, save where silence yieldsTo the night-warbling Bird, that now awakeTunes sweetest his love-labor’d song; now reignesFull Orb’d the Moon, and […]

Is Our Righteousness as Filthy Rags?

It is very common for Christians to believe that God accepts them because of their righteousness of works and good deeds. Consequently, new Christians are taught or led to believe that they “must” do good deeds to be accepted by God, but is this correct? God accepts us despite our inability to satisfy His righteous […]

No single person can stand before God and declare that they “understand.” Deception is universal. No one […]

A Haven Called Heaven

Beneath the sky’s expanding pleas, A man on a dock stands by the sea. The weathered wood has memories stored, And whispers its tales of a time before. Sunset hues paint a watery face, On my canvas of warm and welcome grace. Seagulls sing, in a chorus with ease, As the man on the dock […]

A Recollection

Listening to sad music and looking back in time; it seems so long ago. With a powerful attraction and a melancholy sadness, a sorrowful spirit transported a troubled and questioning heart to a place far away. All the voices said go, “Go away to a place I will show you,” so I went. Could this […]

Desire Is Prophetic

Beneath the moon’s soft, silver glow, A soul sits on a highway, lost in woe. The desolate desert stretches far and wide, As shadows dance in the ebbing tide. The road stretches, a desolate sea, Echoing the ache of a heart’s disease. Yellow lines, like whispered pleas, Lead to horizons offering no peace. Stars above, […]

Christianity In Crisis:

How Christianity Has Been Affected and Changed by Historical, Theological, and Cultural Developments “Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” Anyone who follows the evolution of art can easily see the flow over time from Ancient Art, Renaissance, Baroque, Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Pop-Art, […]

Hidden In Plain Sight

Hidden In Plain Sight Imagine a place created for the sole purpose of hiding the truth from humans, where mankind is kept in bondage and slavery without them realizing it, that place is called the “World.” Men are intrinsically conscious of the truth, but in the world, truth has been diluted with many “lies.” Men […]
