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 2026-509: Cornerstone Considerations: D of I, Well, Well, Well

Driving across town I have the opportunity to check out the price of gasoline and it helps me to select where I’m going to buy gas when I need it.  One of the first things I noticed from the price of gas is, the election is over.  It’s pretty obvious no matter what excuses they give that the oil companies were keeping the price of gasoline artificially high in order to put their people in power.  We can’t get along without gasoline.  We need it to live.  I’m not going to even suggest that we boycott gasoline.  And I’m so cheap that I will buy the cheapest.

At the same time we need to remember who was used by these left-wing wackos to throw the election to the Democrats.  Some of them may have had very good reasons for what they did.  Keep in mind that the Democrats are now openly threatening, not only losses, but also physical violence up to an including murder against those who oppose them.  If you have a family, children, a good life, you will think twice before you stand up to these people.

That’s why it might be good for you to read the last lines of the Declaration of Independence.

“And for the support of this declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”
What will it take to get you to cave in?  I shutter at the thought of people threatening my grandchildren.  If it was just me, they were threatening, I think I could deal with that.  The point is they know that.  All it takes is somebody sending you one photograph of your grandchild being looked at through a rifle scope.  It will make you think twice.

I don’t have an answer.  We are moving into an era where the demonic forces of socialism and communism are really throwing their weight around.

(I just drove by a gas station that had regular for $3.04 and there was no shuttling back-and-forth with cash credit or whatever else they have. It was just steady $3.04.)

So again, what do we do.  We start with prayer.  We live our lives and hope because our hope is invested in God.  We gear ourselves up for potential persecution while we hope that God does not bring in our direction.  My prayer is that I would be obedient when the time comes and that you would join me.  I’ll try to save a bunk for you in the Gulag.
