One of the flaws of this time is to assume that the moral methods that we have or the tools we have are universal, and we can criticize others because they do not meet our modern standars of morality. This has let to the woke arguing that any person who supported the instututions that they Continue Reading
Sunday Ballad.
This was suggested by a friend. Not a sonnet, and is not a sonnet. It is, instead, something you don’t see much now. A ballad: these were common during the time of empire. Ballad of the Bread Man Mary stood in the kitchen Baking a loaf of bread. An angel flew in through the window. Continue Reading

The bulk of people will always reject the word of God. And those who preach the gospel are not that righeteous. Moses knew that his ministry was only by the grace of God, as did Paul. For both of them had blood on their hands. It is indeed by grace alone we stand. Exodus 32:7-14 Continue Reading

Zion The Doorkeepers of Zion, They do not always stand In helmet Continue Reading

We need to understand, in our bones, that the current elite are believing their lies, and do not take feedback well. We need to know that instagram and facebook is not real life, and likes or follows are not a real acheivement. Our attention is being monetized, sold, bent,spindled and mutilated. Young women need to Continue Reading
Double Polycarp Patristics.
I have missed posting this regularly, and as the next two chapters are short, It is worthwhile putting them up together. Chapter 7. For whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is antichrist; and whosoever does not confess the testimony of the cross, is of the devil; and whosoever perverts Continue Reading
Nations matter (Daybook)
Why to nations matter? Because culture matters. Generally, there are no particular virtues of belonging to this nation or that: all nations have things in their past that were less than ideal, virtues, and flaws. What matters is that the culture assumes certain rules and behaviours. I am a Kiwi. The idea of faking maintenance Continue Reading
