Man's relationship to God in creation was based on works. What Adam failed to achieve, Christ, the second Adam, succeeded in achieving. Ultimately the only way one can be justified is by works. (R.C.Sproul) Works! Works! A man gets to heaven by works? I would as soon think of climbing to the moon on a rope of sand! (George Whitefield) With the wolves you cannot be too severe. With the weak sheep you cannot be too gentle.” (Martin Luther on false teachers)

A little levity - on comb and paper


This deserves a caption that I personally do not have the nerve to post - language fails me here.

Merry Christmas, again

May this be a 'heads-up' (warning), to my vast and varied viewer-ship - both of you, keep a sharp eye out for an impending (threatened) posting, on Youtube, of my public musical debut. It's a world-class-less rendition of a couple of Christmas carol snippets - on the extremely challenging musical instrument: comb and paper.
View the 'still' of said instrument; anticipate the YouTube debacle, er, debut!

Lights-out Church of all nations - perhaps!

$$$$$$$$$$
I wonder how the per capita

$$$$ Can they, with a straight face, say: $$$$
"It is more blessed to give than to receive"?

Do not seek the treasure - this isn't it! But, it may be good for a few grins.


You can render (reindeer) the Claus figure inanimate, by clicking on his ample person. That also silences the organ. Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, and

GOD is every-where to be found - not no-where!



There's something about micro-creation that just seems to 'dwarf' macro-creation, if that were possible. Together, they provide clear evidence for THE God who is outside, and above, all His creation - that is, all that is, outside (apart from) Himself.

A baby, born to a Jewish peasant girl who was a virgin? Not a problem for this God.
