There is a rank due to the United States, among nations, which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.

A Warning to Congress

Stupid Health Care

I've already written my current congressmen regarding O's health care reform bill (or desires or whatever). But, I want to put the word out here, so that it's seen and so that I remember it.

Eighth Sunday after Trinity

Matthew 7:15-23

I got to preach today at the church we attend. It was refreshing to be in a pulpit again. Here's the sermon:

In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Grapes and thorns and figs and thistles—these fruits of grace and wrath, holiness and sin: they are marks of right preaching and false teaching. And, so, Jesus says, "Beware of false prophets...You will know them by their fruits."
