Don’t Hate, But Don’t Trust Cops

Perhaps you’ve seen the infamous video of an OHP Trooper roughing up a Creek Nation EMT. I dare say plenty of Okies are unsurprised. The State of Oklahoma has never been very kind, and hardly respectful, of the Creek Nation. Just a few days before that video was shot, the OHP had confiscated two truck [...]

Lawful Love

Jesus said “loving your neighbor” fulfills your obligation to God regarding His Creation (Mark 12:28-34).
The context of the discussion was very much a matter of law and Law. God had revealed His standards in a rather extensive suzerain-vassal treaty with the Nation of Israel, but the point of discussion was whether that could be summed [...]

Repeating First Walk

Took out my new sign and walked pretty much the same route as this past Monday. However, today I went all the way west on SE 29th Street to Sunnylane, headed north one mile to SE 15th Street, then east to about Air Depot Boulevard. That made for about 12 miles total.
The New Balance shoes [...]

Sign Making for Walking Protests

My “REPENT” sign is finished. I plan to take it out for it’s first run tomorrow morning.
Using the four-foot PVC water line (1/2″ diameter) staff from before, I added a “T” junction at the top and horizontal arms to make a total of around 18″ long. The actual signs are cut from a standard poster-board [...]

Difficult People: You Can’t Fix That

What is the godly, Christian response to devilish people? Change your response to them, because only God can change the person.
While there are many people in my little world who seem to work for Satan, one person in particular afflicts me regularly. I’ll use the otherwise unacceptable grammatical practice of referring to her/him as “they” [...]

Walk for Repentance: First Run

Left the house this morning at 8 AM. Instead of the fast march pace, I held it to a comfortable 4 MPH (15 minutes/mile). Traveled west on SE 29th Street as far as Sooner Road, then one mile north to the Del City Wal-Mart store. That made it roughly 9 miles. I lost about 15 [...]

Putting It to Work

Lots of changes over the past ten months here in Choctaw. Anyone watching me would have been quite sure I was all noise, with little hard reality behind it. Think what you will, but I was being shaped for something.
I did some walking, then longer walking, then running. But the running was just my pleasure, [...]

Logical Challenges to Faith

There are a thousand ways to debate whether faith in Christ is reasonable, but everyone wants to forget: Faith is not reasonable. That is, faith makes demands which are entirely unreasonable. Of course, we are referring to a particular branch of reasoning. The assumption is this reasoning has to conform to Western analytical forms. When [...]

The Covenant of Noah

Most Christians aren’t really aware of the various covenants noted in the Bible. Indeed, many aren’t even aware the term “New Testament” means “New Covenant”. A few understand the Law of Moses was a covenant between God and Israel, but aren’t aware of the full implications. It wasn’t just laws for Israel to follow, but [...]

Little to Say Anymore

I’ll say WordPress does get my stuff a better exposure, but it’s more difficult to use on older machines. My poor Inspiron 4100 running Etch gets to pumping pretty hard trying to process all the JScript and plug-ins here. I can’t even get Elinks or Lynx to work well, because the folks who designed this [...]
