Wonderful Matters

I simply have to direct you to this article over at ZeroHedge , one that comprehensively lays out the ironclad economic laws related to price controls. There are a number of things that should be augmented to make this idea much more clear. First , note all the imaginative ways value assignments have been messed with in the worst ways. For forty centuries leaders with their hands on the reins of the economy try to show how blangdanimously magnanimous they were by effing with the transcendent value assignments, valid value assessments, and vibrant economic interactions of their people. So many different ways to do it each with their own spiffy sounding names! I mean who could be against something where we all "commune" with one another -- so much more wholesome! Today that takes the form of printing up dollars and handing them to irresponsible people, or yes, to exploited people who've been effed with by government decree such as what public officials did with the Covid hy

I really like the things that Miss Just-An-Artist-Questioning has put out. Wonderfully simple truths illustrated. This one features someone trapped in the thorns of lethal lies. Someone who loves has got the large industrial-scale set of clippers to extricate him. Funny, the one thing I could think about was how Scripture is described as a two-edged sword. It is indeed the only way one may know the truth employed to deliver another from that death. Except this thing,  truth .  I've been peeking again at Anthony Pezzotta's Truth Encounters  about the ways the Roman Catholic Church elevates the grandest deceits to keep its faithful enslaved. His very first words are from Scripture: Yahweh is the God of Truth (Isaiah 65:14). Jesus is the Way and the Truth (John 14:6). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13) The Word of God is the Word of Truth  (2 Timothy 2:15). (Emphasis his.) I saw a woman the other day in a professional setting where I was surrounded by hundreds of

I can't help but begin this follow-up post to the latest in my "We're all just trollees" thread with this screenshot of a video showing a toddler being fitted with glasses so he could see, for what is effectively the first time ever. It is just heart-rendering to watch, and see the smile on his face when he can see, especially since his first clear sight is that of his beaming parents. The reason I'm leading with this simply amazing photograph is I definitely see this as a tremendously profound metaphor for what happens when Christ gives sight to not only the blind, but to the wicked, the foolish, the devious, and the stupid. When they actually see glory of the One and Only Savior, the magnitude of his mercy and forgiveness, and the overwhelming beauty of the Kingdom -- well, Scripture tells us angels in Heaven rejoice. In my latest home page piece I made a valiant attempt to be simple with my exposition of the World-Kingdom distinction, and while I believe what

Out on my walk I came upon a nice looking young couple from behind -- the woman pushing a stroller and the man walking a dog on a leash. I thought, how nice, they've got a small child... until the gal turned around and the stroller was empty. It was for the dog . The dog then hopped in and the couple then went back the other way. This is just an anecdotal story and this couple may be planning to have children or they may even have them back home being watched by grandma while they are out. They may also be unable to have children for whatever reason, but it makes me think about how many young adults hypnotized by the Frankfurt School dogma are swearing off having children because of things like their perceptions of climate change or the bothersome intrusions of the oppressive heteropatriarchy. I mean, it is perfectly rational, why bring children into a world that appears so threatening? It is, however, thoroughly unrighteous.  It is not hard to see why, in the simplest sense. If th

I'd like to put up a brief post as just a follow-up to my last post about the millennia-long world war that wages interminably all about. In my devotional time this morning I was reading the passage that I think does the best in elucidating the ungrafted church's mentality and behavior in the face of the roiling evil that spews regularly from a fully Catholicized World . Here, I cannot go any further without sharing a good part of it with you: Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the ima

My recent home page piece gets a bit into my own professional life, and the experiences I have had with the now entrenched woke  hegemony. I have been an experienced and reasonably decorated school teacher for now about 35 years. Most of that time was spent teaching high school Civics and Economics in the public school system, and certainly being a devout follower of Christ I have wondered if readers of my webzine and blog might wonder, "How could you be situated in such a System institution like that?" I have indeed thought about assembling something of a comprehensive polemic to answer that question, and I'm afraid I cannot do that now. It is simply because there is so much to it, including my consideration that people like Joseph and Daniel were in the service of Caesar in some high office yet still served Christ and loved others where they were. I have also had the opportunity to share Christ's love with thousands of students, some hundred of whom actively and vo

I caught this very interesting piece over at ZeroHedge , one that highlights remarks by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. He points out that of all the bountiful benefits that this thing most people call "A.I." does, there is indeed one major item that may very well not be so desired after all. Makes perfect sense . Might want to take that Bible off your shelf for further reference. Seriously. Gensler points out that with the "A.I," or what-should-be-called SPIT for SuperDuperReallySuperDuper-Fast Processing Information Technology being used to reeeeeeeally  do a spit-shine job of peeking around at everyone's financial affairs -- -- And finding out how absolutely & thoroughly, wickedly & deceitfully arranged they really are ... ...That when the SPIT shit hits the fan and all of it gets uncovered, well, you know. It's easy. That would be very very very bad for everyone. It'll be that contagion that everyone fears, that thing that will just do the worst a

There is another striking Proverb, this one the 22nd in the 27th chapter, that says it doesn't matter how much you shake a fool's head and tell him or her "Stop it," the folly still remains. Bam . The only deliverance is The  Deliverance, Jesus Christ. To see with His eyes and understand with His mind. That's it.  Otherwise, fools are going to do folly. I can't help but share the latest of the World idiocy out there, these just some of the most shining examples. There are so many, but these are pretty rich. One, some large presumably well-respected athletic organization established a competitive event of some kind as "open enrollment." The idea I am sure is to avoid all the ruckus about men-pretending-to-be-women competing in women's events, just make it so anyone who wants can join up: men, women, non-binary, anyone free-to-be-who-they-want-to-be-hey-we're-all-extra-tolerant-here -- and then it will all be fair and open and wonderful. Umm...

Just a quick post to update you a bit on some of the things I've been seeing and pondering. This'd be pretty long if I touched on all of it, but just a few things here for now. Yesterday picked up Edward Ring's latest piece . I've shared before I think he is one of the best at illuminating things out there, though again like most he'll never get to the truth that all of it is generated by Rome at the behest of every human's request that it crack heads for the mitigation of his/her evildoing. Anyway, you can get those truths in Scripture and maybe a bit more in my own writing ministry work which is only designed to direct you to Scripture and to understanding the evil the System routinely does and only then  to Christ and Kingdom and the only freedom that is worth anything. Anyway  (sorry I digress too much), Ring does do a phenomenal job of describing the effects of the System's head-cracking operation. Like having a nice home to raise a family? First that

A Black Mirror  episode titled "Metalhead" is a standard cat and mouse tale with the relentlessly pursuing beast a weaponized robotic dog. Throughout you're rooting for the gal on the run, hoping she can ultimately find some way to get away, somehow stop the marauding advancement, perhaps even "kill" the robot to ensure its complete incapacitation -- just do something  to be able to finally settle down and not fear this thing reaching her and killing her. As with every Black Mirror episode, you can't help but think deeply about the story's implications. Here was the thought from me. What if the pursued woman was actually the villain?  Meaning, what if the robotic killer dog was simply doing its duty to stop criminal behavior at the behest of a government charged with such prosecution in the name of keeping social order and decency? Kind of what we all want from law enforcement? I say this because in a world that seems to go madder and madder, there is al
