Say it with aphorisms. Free men will fight for their liberty, but slaves will not. So if a slave fights, he is already free. Liberty is not porn and pot. Liberty is much praised and rarely treasured.

Searching Out a Matter: The Effect of Population Density
It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.(Proverbs 25:2 ESV) Living in Missouri, I got curious about how population density affects the number of cases of COVID-19 per million people. So looking up case data from the John Hopkins website and demographic data from […]
Hallelujah! Let Us Sing!
Modern Christians often speak about the cross, but for the early church it was the resurrection and the reign of Christ. Without the resurrection there would be mercy, but there would be no grace. Without the reign, there would be no justice. Jesus lives and Jesus reigns and so we have hope, an earnest expectation […]
Searching Out a Matter: How Far has COVID-19 Progressed?
It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.(Proverbs 25:2 ESV) One of the big uncertainties about COVID-19 is how many people have actually had the disease. Because that number is used to calculate the death rate of the disease. Based on official cases COVID-19 […]
Cry unto the Lord
We are in a time of judgment sent from the throne of Christ. This coronavirus, its concomitant disease, all the fear and confusion, all the wicked, selfish actions of rulers, the crashing of the econony, are judgments from Christ.

A Time for Courage
No one has a love greater than this, that he lays down his life for his friends.(John 15:13 ULB) There is an old term, an acronym, for what is going on in our country: FUD–Fear Uncertainty & Doubt. On the surface the source for this is the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID19–also known […]

One Thursday Morning
It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart.(Ecclesiastes 7:2 ESV) At 12:10 pm Thursday March 27th 2020, my wife called me on my cellphone concerned about our son. She […]
Christopher Nathaniel
Son I remember when I kissed you when you cried and held you tightly to me. You were just a baby boy, a shining gift from God. Everytime that you were hurt, I tried to love you whole. Now you’re lying in this bed and there’s nothing but the waiting. Doctors say that it’s the […]
