• America: From Christian to Post-Christian

    America was once a Christian nation. For many years America honored God, and missionary endeavors were undertaken. In the 17th and early 18th centuries, the vast majority of Baptist churches were Reformed Baptists. Presbyterian churches also abounded.

    But if we look at some of the quotes of America’s Founding Fathers, if we look at decrees read in Congress, and if we examine state constitutions we see a very Christian nation. Also a very homogeneous racial makeup. The hyper-majority was white.

    Contrast that with the state of the Protestant faith today and you will see heresy and apostasy abounding. It is estimated that over 90% of “Christians” are actually lost and hell bound. They need repentance and belief in Christ alone as their sole Redeemer and Lord. Both of these are gifts from God alone.

    Why did the white race accomplish so much more than any other race, by any metric you choose? American exceptionalism is true. America became the world’s superpower.

    I posit it is because of the great attention and funding given to missionary work, in publishing and disseminating Scripture, as well as many godly and brilliant white Christian male authors, and many wise and godly pastors, that God looked favorably upon the Christian male race, and allowed them to dominate the pagan world. In nearly every single field of knowledge, whether it be biology, physics, mathematics, art, architecture, chemistry, literature, psychology, etc. The list goes on and on.

    In our politically correct world, the vast majority of white people will bristle at what I’ve just written. They have been taught and conditioned to adopt so-called white guilt. They were indoctrinated in the public schools to be ashamed that they are white. Every single race can revel in their accomplishments and ancestors’ achievements. But the only race that absolutely cannot do this is the white race.

    We are taught that whites are intrinsically evil and that every single white person is racist. Yes, so-called anti-racism teaches this. DEI and CRT are both being taught at all education levels in America. This is cultural Marxism in action. Movements such as BLM are inherently racist against white people, and the two lesbian founders of BLM explicitly said they are cultural Marxists.

    But we should not despair. God always has a remnant. I estimate that the number of true born-again Christians is only 3% to 5%. That means the majority of church members are hellbound.

    America’s popular culture is now pagan. The K-12 schools teach paganism via secular humanism and atheism.

    Academia in America is utterly atheistic and pagan. Their philosophy of science is logical positivism. Totally devoid of God.

    Big businesses, especially tech companies, are almost all woke. They force white employees to sit through DEI and CRT “training”. This is brainwashing.

    The entertainment industry also contributes a lot to spreading and reinforcing white guilt.

    If a white person talks about their ancestors’ achievements they will be labeled as “white supremacists.” They evoke images of Klu Klux Klan members in white pointy hats.

    Again, America can be that shining city upon a hill, but we need true revival.

  • Debating Christian Truth: Wes Huff vs. Billy Carson

    There was an online discussion about the veracity of Christianity, it took place approximately 4 weeks ago, that went viral.

    The debate was between a Christian historian and apologist, Wes Huff, and Billy Carson, according to wikia he is an “entrepreneur, author, music artist, TV host, producer, actor, director, and expert in Ancient Civilizations.” Wes is a scholar and has a PhD. It is evident from their debate that Billy was in over his head. Billy has no graduate degree.

    Billy’s arguments were rather superficial and even at times infantile. Wes clearly won this debate.

    One thing that really resonated with me, besides Wes’ brilliant articulation of orthodox Christian faith, was the humility he displayed and love for someone who is not Christian.

    The moderator was highly biased and took Billy’s side, even though a proper moderator should display as little bias as they possibly can.

    Also, the moderator and Billy did not let Wes talk without constant interruptions. Wes displayed a very patient and longsuffering behavior.

    See the full debate below.

    After the debate was over Billy sued Wes! He knew he performed poorly and wanted to delete the debate video! How cowardly and infantile! Check out the video below.

    Below is a video analyzing Billy’s rants.

    This brought so much attention that Joe Rogan invited Wes Huff onto his show! So not only did Billy embarrass himself in the debate with Wes, but he made Wes more famous, and landed an interview with Joe Rogan on his podcast (which happens to be the number one podcast in the world in terms of number of subscribers). The video now has over 4 million views! Wes got the opportunity to share the true gospel of Christ with millions of viewers/listeners! Watch the interview with Joe Rogan below.

    Billy’s popularity is rooted in sensationalism, pseudo-science, so-called alien technology, ancient aliens, alien archaeology, UFOs, and lots of similar topics.

    His critiques of Christianity (and I’m being very generous in my characterization) are really very sophomoric and superficial. He makes dozens of assertions, yet can’t back them up. All of his objections to orthodox Christian faith, have been refuted. And Wes refuted them as well in this debate.

  • Friendship in A Digital World

    Oh social media
    How you vex me
    Online friends
    Are ephemeral
    One day your bond
    Is strong
    The next day
    You find yourself
    Unfriended
    Or worse
    You are blocked
    People say things online
    They would never dare
    To say in the real world
    What cruel devotion
    People put on airs
    Is my friend
    Really a friend
    Or are they
    A Judas
    Such is the transitory
    Nature of friendship
    In the online world
    It’s hard to convey
    Emotions
    Through the media
    Of text
    Social media
    Generates
    Lots of discussion
    But it seems to be
    A case of
    More heat than light
    I have
    A few very faithful friends
    Online
    But I was shocked
    When some of them
    Unfriended me
    I will continue
    To seek out
    Strong friendships
    But I’m wary
    And a bit paranoid
    Are my friends
    Laughing with me
    Or at me

  • COVID-19 Vaccines: Safe and Effective

    I firmly believe in the safety and efficacy of vaccines. They are a blessing from God.

    For over 70 years, the majority of Americans took vaccines. As a result, horrible diseases like polio were wiped out. These deadly diseases were eradicated solely due to the widespread use of vaccines.

    Sadly, 20-25 years ago, an anti-vaccine movement began. It is rooted in scientific ignorance, misinformation, lies, and hysteria, and even certain pastors railed against vaccines in their sermons. This is willful ignorance.
    Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of Americans refused to take the COVID-19 vaccines. And they refused to get their children vaccinated.
    If this anti-vaccine mindset were present in the 1950s, polio would never have been wiped out.

    The vast majority of scientists, medical doctors, and researchers attest to the overall safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines. Yet, millions of Americans will take the advice of random laymen on YouTube, their favorite podcasts, and pundits with no scientific training or expertise. They will listen to them, instead of listening to those who are real experts, the scientists and medical doctors.

    This is a real shame. And it has cost people their lives needlessly.
    Some pastors loudly denounced the COVID-19 vaccines. Even going so far as to classify those who take the vaccine as sinning.

    Here are some facts versus myths about the COVID-19 vaccine.

  • Abortion: The Silent Holocaust

    Since 1973, with the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v Wade, which legalized abortion in America, nearly 70 million babies have been murdered in America.

    This is cold blooded, calculated and premeditated murder of tens of millions of babies.

    I believe abortion should be illegal in all cases and in all states.

    This silent holocaust, the babies can’t speak for themselves, is a blight on America. God hears the blood of the innocent crying out for justice!

    I was given a vision by God, in it I saw America getting nuked by China and Russia.

  • I Dreamed A Dream

    “I Dreamed A Dream”

    I lie down to sleep
    My dreams will be deep

    I slumber the night away
    Dreaming of The Way

    Christ is in my dreams
    Radiant and glorious He seems

    I visit the seventh heaven
    While eating bread without leaven

    Suddenly I’m awake
    This dream was no mistake

    From God, I received a vision
    I am on a mission

    America will be nuked
    China and Russia combined

    The Lord will provide a sanctuary
    The Apocalypse sure is scary

  • My Struggles With Mental Illness

    I am a semi-recluse
    Mental illness is my excuse

    I have no energy at all
    I have a terrible pall

    I lie in bed most of the day
    I feel like I’m fading away

    I long to have energy
    To walk and be free

    Instead, I am stuck inside
    I have nothing to hide

    Chronic fatigue is no joke
    I’m a lethargic bloke

    I also deal with insomnia
    It would be to have euphoria

    My mental illness is a heavy yoke
    It doesn’t help that I’m broke

    I have bad anxiety
    It makes me worry excessively

    I hear voices in my mind
    They are not kind

    These spirits bother me so much
    Sometimes reality is out of touch

    I’ve struggled for over twenty years
    With horrific hallucinations and tears

    Most people are ignorant of mental illness
    The stigma is real and so are the fears

    My eldest sister Vi helps me a lot
    We are roommates and best friends at heart

    I can’t wait until I get a glorified body
    All my days shall then be jolly

  • Mortification

    If we truly love God
    We’ll keep His commandments
    And we’ll follow all of His Word

    Our flesh we must mortify
    By denying our sinful ways
    Our souls we must sanctify

    Living by the Spirit always
    It’s God’s power in us
    Christ the Living Waters

    It is the Lord who sanctifies us
    It’s a monergistic work
    As we walk in obedience

    We must run the race
    Sometimes we stumble
    We get back up by God’s grace

  • Vi My Eldest Sister

    Her name is Posie
    Her cheeks are rosy

    She makes me so happy
    My heart is full of glee

    Vi gets our food
    She’s never rude

    She takes the bus
    Vi never makes a fuss

    She cleans our home
    She’s written many a poem

    Vi does our laundry
    She’s footloose and fancy-free

    I love chatting with her
    She is so dear

    We’ve been roommates for 21 years
    We’ve laughed and cried many tears

    I thank God for putting Vi in my life
    We get along so well and there’s no strife

  • Ireland

    Oh emerald isle
    With fields of green
    Such beauty
    I had never seen

    Irish food
    It’s delicious to be sure
    From colcannon to
    Irish breakfast and more

    Corned beef and cabbage
    With potatoes too
    And a nice hot bowl of
    Mulligan’s stew

    Irish breakfast tea
    Is always nice
    Drink it hot
    Or over ice

    Saint Patrick brought
    Christianity to Ireland
    The gospel spread extensively
    All across the land

    From Carrickfergus Castle
    In the north
    To Blarney Castle
    In the south

    The home
    Of my ancestors
    What stories they could tell
    And what adventures

    The people of Ireland
    Endured much persecution
    And oppression by the British
    A global superpower against a revolution

    As their ancestors had done
    The people of Ireland fought well
    They were determined
    To make freedom and independence swell

    The potato famine
    Was a terrible crime
    The English refused to help
    Millions of Irish died at the time

    I may never be able
    To visit this fair land
    But I can dream of
    Leprechauns and shamrocks grand
