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 2023-280: One Liners: Shifting Alignments

Dennis Prager, “I didn’t leave the Democrat party.  The Democrat party left me.”

I don’t know if it was original to him but the truth endures.  I know that the perception we have of the Democrat party has gone through a steady evolution.  I don’t know if it actually changed.  It could be it was always what we see now and it was just covered up.  It is not covered up any more.  If there is an act of evil that is destroying our republic and its moral fiber and is being pushed by the media and educator, the Democrats are for it.  

You know this if you are paying attention but considering how many people still wear masks and reject that the election of 2020 was stollen, you know there are not many paying attention.  If you need more evidence ask a few simple questions about geography or history.  I don’t know if you are aware of it but colleges that have any standards left are requiring their students to pass a general skills test before they are allowed to graduate.  It is a simple demonstration of ability to write, simple math and some general knowledge.  Keep in mind that most educators are Democrats.  Connect the dots.

How many of us have experienced something similar.  I can say it about the denomination I was raised in.  I am starting to think it will apply to the Republican party also.  Changing churches is harder than you might expect because so many have gone Progressive and seeker friendly.  Those are clergy-talk for woke.  Finding a new political party has no options.

Keep prayer.  Stand up.  Speak out.  Enjoy the liberty while we still have it.

Opus 2023-259: One Liners: How’s It Going?

One of the standard mantras of our culture is, “Hi, how are you?”  We invariably answer, “Fine.”  I have been trying to get away from that.  I will use something like, “Marvelous!”  At the same time I am open to the masters of the one line.

I don’t know if this will develop into a series but if it does I want to start with Dave Ramsey.  I do not listen to him on my own.  My wife will have the radio on in the car and I will pick up part of his broadcast on occasion.  I will see clips of him embedded in things I read.  In spite of that little exposure he has introduced me to a great one liner.

When asked how he is doing Dave Ramsey will answer, “Better than I deserve.”

That is an attitude I am working on.  I think it would be great if we all recognized it.
