Jewish Objections
Here is a wonderful set of apologetics books I came across. “Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus” by Dr. Michael L. Brown. Dr. Brown is a Jew and grew up in the Jewish religion. He became a Messianic Charismatic Christian in his 20s, and since then he has devoted his life to Christian apologetics. Dr. Brown…

UKRAINE BELONGS TO RUSSIA
Ukraine was part of Russia for over 1,000 years! Don’t be duped by Western propaganda! US exports abortion on demand, LGBT, gay “marriage”, gay pride parades, pornography on demand, divorce, Satanic music, fornication & adultery, and Russia wants no part of it! Be angry with the pastors and politicians in America who are destroying this…

Western degeneracy
I support Russian President Vladimir Putin! He is a strong Christian leader who is fighting Western degeneracy creeping into his country! Did you know 8 years ago Ukraine held fair democratic elections and a pro-Russian president was elected. But the CIA sent over agitators and after weeks of horrible demonstrations and riots the president stepped…

Wilson Phillips
I recently made posts on Brian Wilson and The Mamas & The Papas so I thought I’d do a post on their musical offspring Wilson Phillips! Wilson Phillips is an American pop group formed in Los Angeles in 1989. The group consists of Carnie and Wendy Wilson, the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach…

The Mamas & The Papas
Another great 1960s folk/pop group that I really enjoy is The Mamas & The Papas. They had great vocal arrangements, sublime harmonies and were a cohesive group. My favorite song of theirs is “Dedicated to The One I Love” (1967). This haunting song echoes the pain of being separated from the one we love and…

Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson, the brains behind the Beach Boys (he co-founded the group) and the single most important factor in their success, struggles with mental illness just like me. He wrote iconic songs such as “Good Vibrations” and “God Only Knows”. He’s a master of writing rich multi-layered complex harmonies with beautiful and captivating melodies, dynamic…

Sanctification Considered
Sanctification is the spiritual process of us sinners becoming holy by the work of God as we are in union with Christ. When we are first regenerated and born again (second birth) we receive justification and initial definite sanctification. But as we live our Christian lives, we engage in progressive sanctification whereby we are made…

Orthodoxy and Religious Freedom
Russia adopted anti-missionary anti-proselytizing laws in 2016 at the federal level. Similar laws already existed in various Russian states. On July 6th, 2016, President Vladimir Putin signed amendments to the Religion Law imposing harsh restrictions on the sharing of beliefs, including on where and by whom they may be shared. The amendments ban broadly defined…

If You Leave
This song, “If You Leave” (1986), by the English electronic band OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark), is one of my favorite New Wave songs of the 1980s. It’s also one of my favorite synth-pop songs. Also, note the saxophone, an instrument featured in my 1980s songs, which you don’t see in most songs today.…
