Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2024-259: Barriers to Survival

When I look at the state of the country and wonder if we are going to live through all of this there are three things that I am concerned about.

The first is the utter determination of the elites to either win or destroy the country.  Actually, I think their purpose is to destroy the country and there is nothing they will not do to drag it down.  They consider winning the end of American excellence.  They hate western culture.  They hate Christianity.  They even hate people.  They hate liberty.  They will sit and cackle over the flames as they burn the culture down.

Second is the large number of people who seem totally ignorant of what’s going on.  They don’t see, they don’t hear, and they certainly won’t talk about it.  I really can’t understand how people don’t see the danger of declaring anything you disagree with as hate speech and making it a category to be persecuted.

The third group would be those who see, and understand, but don’t care about it.  They figure they will be above it.  They figure won’t touch them.  They don’t have any strong convictions that are at risk.  We have a growing group of self-centered, narcissistic individuals, who think that they are about all of this.  So why get excited?

Will there be enough of us who believe in the rule of law, genuine justice based on that law being equally applied and unchanging truth involving moral issues?  I will continue to look for places to speak up and make a difference.  Maybe if enough join in the republic will revive.

The time to get serious about prayer is now not when the storm troopers from the alphabet agencies show up at your door or your child comes home from college with pink hair and tattoos.

  1. Yes, pray pray pray and share the good news to those whose hope is in government and not God. Romans1:18-32 and 2 Cor 4:1-6. We have hope in He who is in charge of who’s in charge down here.

    1. And pray in humility and obedience. God will not do it our way. We must be willing to do it His way.

      Grace and peace
