  • Grizzly Bear

    I’m hunting
    Some tasty prey
    I will eat them
    Without any delay

    I am equipped
    With massive paws
    And razor sharp
    Strong claws

    I will catch salmon
    As they swim upstream
    There are so many
    It’s a grizzly’s dream

    I eat to store up fat
    For my winter hibernation
    I will slumber peacefully
    Filled with elation

    I can run, swim, and climb
    Better than any human
    My nose is very keen
    Hunting is my mission

  • Me So Hongry

    I have a deep hunger
    My belly sounds like thunder

    The seconds tick by
    I feel like I could cry

    Time passes slowly, you see
    A lack of food brings misery

    I wish I had a juicy steak
    Or pork chops that you bake

    I want every succulent food
    I am always in the mood

    I want pizza so delectable
    The taste is irresistible

    On Monday, we shall feast
    We’ll eat like a ravenous beast

  • The Good News

    Man is not justified
    Through good deeds
    This truth is written
    In our creeds

    We are justified
    By faith alone you see
    Because of Christ’s blood
    We are set spiritually free

    We are saved by grace alone
    Through faith alone precisely
    We receive Christ’s perfect
    Righteousness immediately

    Catholics and Orthodox conflate
    Sanctification with justification
    They follow a aynergistic model
    They reach an erroneous conclusion

    Jesus is the divine Logos
    No man can be saved at all
    Unless the Holy Spirit
    Makes the effectual call

    God chose us
    Before the creation of the earth
    Not because of anything we do
    Chosen by God for the second birth

    Spread the life-giving Gospel
    Wherever you are
    This Good News must be shared
    Both near and far

  • The Gospel in A Few Words

    Jesus Christ, the Second Person
    Of the Triune God
    He would be resurrected
    It was not a case of fraud

    Jesus came to earth
    As a helpless child
    Born to His mother Mary
    So meek and mild

    God overshadowed this virgin teen
    Mary conceived Jesus in her womb
    He would grow up
    And leave behind an empty tomb

    He is the Lord of Lords
    And King of Kings
    It is salvation for man
    That He brings

    Jesus had no sin
    He was a perfect sacrifice
    At Calvary, He bled
    And paid the ultimate price

    Christ’s resurrection
    Was the greatest event
    In all of history
    It’s He who God the Father sent

    Share the Gospel
    Near and far
    Use a boat, train, or truck
    Or a car

  • Identity of Jack the Ripper Confirmed

    The identity of Jack the Ripper has been confirmed as Aaron Kosminski, a Polish immigrant and barber, through DNA evidence linked to a shawl found at one of the crime scenes. This revelation marks a significant development in a mystery that has persisted for over 130 years.

    Overview

    Key Details

    • Name: Aaron Kosminski
    • Background: A Polish immigrant and barber who lived in London.
    • Age at Crimes: 23 years old during the murders in 1888.
    • Death: Died in a mental institution in 1919.

    Discovery Process

    • Evidence: A bloodstained shawl, believed to be found at the scene of one of the murders, was tested for DNA.
    • DNA Match: The shawl contained DNA from both Kosminski and one of the victims, Catherine Eddowes.
    • Research Team: The DNA analysis was conducted by a team led by Jari Louhelainen from Liverpool John Moores University.

    Historical Context

    • Murders: Jack the Ripper is linked to the brutal killings of at least five women in London’s Whitechapel district between August and November 1888.
    • Victims: The known victims include Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.

    Legal Implications

    • Inquest: There are efforts to legally name Kosminski as the killer through a judicial inquiry, which aims to provide closure for the victims’ families.

  • Covenant Theology: Not Biblical

    Covenant theology employs a hermeneutic of symbolism and metaphor. By not being grounded in a literal, historical, and grammatical hermeneutic that preserves authorial intent, they can spiritualize the text, make it mean something totally foreign, and commit eisegesis.

    However, the dispensational hermeneutic allows for authorial intent, and exegesis is conducted using the proper interpretation of Scripture.

    With a dispensational hermeneutic and following sound principles of interpretation, we can study Scripture correctly. We do not reject out of hand symbolism and metaphor; rather, we follow what I call contextual literalism. In this scheme, we interpret in a literal manner, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

  • Hell

    God showed me
    A vision of Hell
    I saw billions
    Of souls in agony
    Writhing in pain
    Not a second
    Of relief
    Constant torment
    The souls in Hell
    Were tortured
    By demons
    These damned
    Souls
    Will suffer
    Conscious torment
    For eternity
    They are
    Eternally separated
    From God
    There is anguish
    And gnashing
    Of teeth

  • Mental Health

    I barked at the moon
    I am quite the loon

    You may call me insane
    I have a defective brain

    I laugh, and I cry
    I don’t know why

    At times, I have a delusion
    It’s mental confusion

    I am rather crazy
    But I’m never lazy

    I hear voices all day long
    I hope for an angel’s song

    My depression is quite bad
    I often feel very sad

    I have no motivation
    It’s a tragic situation

  • A Beautiful Spring Day

    The long
    Cold winter
    Is finally over
    The sky
    Is ocean blue
    It’s very sunny
    And comfortably warm
    A cool breeze
    Blows across
    My face
    I feel rejuvenated
    And thankful to God
    For His
    Many blessings
    Bees buzz around
    On trees I spot
    Tiny green buds
    It’s a time
    For renewal
    Soon it will be
    Easter
    We shall celebrate
    Christ’s death for us
    And His glorious
    Resurrection

  • The Final Crusade

    I fought in lands
    Near and far
    My body has
    Many a scar

    I wielded
    My sharp blade
    Against many foes
    Their lives did fade

    I led an army
    Of one million men
    We were determined
    To defeat every Saracen

    We rode our steeds
    For many days
    The sun blazed
    Its rays

    I also carried
    A long spear
    I used it on the enemy
    To cause them to fear

    I yelled, “Deus Vult.”
    And charged ahead
    I saw many
    Saracens dead

    Nations Islam had conquered
    Were now set free
    The Middle East
    Returned to Christianity
