Certain Christians claim Earth is flat,
I am sorry, but I simply cannot agree,
Though their doctrine is quite wrong,
Yet they unwisely defend it furiously.
Being misguided about some verses,
I can honestly state I do understand,
But the way they belittle our brethren,
Has sadly gotten totally out of hand.
Such mean-spiritedness shocks me,
It is just not the true way of the Lord,
They condemn and attack opposers,
As they hack away with their sword.
You see, even if their belief were right,
Yet those Flat Earthers remain wrong,
Because their attitude is despicable,
It would be better if we just got along.

“If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father’s house in her youth; And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.” Numbers 30:2-4, KJV

“When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” 2 Corinthians 1:17-20, KJV

Dear friends, back in 1998 I wrote a 3-part series called “The Public School System and School Prayer”, which you can still read today at the following URL:
In the series, I explain how the USA’s moral and spiritual deterioration and corruption began in the public school classroom.
Sadly, as many of you will already know, that same deadly process continues unabated today with greater speed and force than ever before. It is shocking! It is mind-boggling!
In fact, I would dare say that perhaps it has almost reached its conclusion, because clearly, the powers of darkness have now overrun these institutions of public learning.
And what is the fruit of this vile process? One doesn’t have to look very far to see it, because it can be found in many of our very own children who are sexually confused, who have no respect for their elders and the laws of the land, who live in the flesh for the gratification of the moment, and sadly, who have abandoned God and His Word.
The tragedy is that in large part, we Christian parents were powerless to stop it, because not only were we slowly denied our parental rights, but gradually, we were also assigned the false classification of being enemies of the state, due to our Bible-based Christian beliefs, and our unwillingness to compromise our beliefs with the new order which has overtaken the American public school system.
But it wasn’t always like this. There was a time many decades ago when America’s public education system, all the way up to the university level, actually respected God and His holy Word. To read about it, check out this opinion piece in The Washington Times. I cannot guarantee that it will still be available for reading when you read this post. You may also possibly need a Washington Times subscription to read it:
“[[A Psalm of praise.]] Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.” Psalm 100:1, KJV
A JOYFUL noise, and NOT a hellish noise!

In like manner, some of the Christian music which fills the airwaves today is indeed inspiring and uplifting; although personally, I never really listen to any of it; partially because I require a quiet environment in order to do my work for the Lord, and also, because I do not like all of the commercials and doctrinal programs which fill up the time slots in between the good music. At the same time, I must also tell you that after paying closer attention to some of the song lyrics on some of the radio shows which are geared towards young Christians, that is, when you can even hear them through the “music”, I have to conclude that some of it is not only a far cry from the beautiful Psalms of King David, but it is downright unchristian. It is no better than the hard rock, worldly music that I used to listen to as a young teenager before I began to follow the Lord. It is a deceptive mixture of Satanic noise, with the words “Christ”, “Jesus”, “Lord”, “God”, etc., lightly dispersed throughout the song, in order to give it a somewhat “Christian” flavor.
This so-called “Christian rock” music reminds me of one of those vanilla ice cream bars which you eat on a stick, which has a thin chocolate covering on the outside. It appears to be one thing, but you quickly discover that it is something entirely different once you bite into it. It is truly sad, because you see, just as some of their parents are being deceived by the sights, sounds and thrills of all of these so-called “manifestations”, which are being performed by the ringleaders at their spiritual circuses, the children are doing the very same thing when they attend these “Christian rock” concerts. Both parents and children are getting excited and emotional in the flesh by these things, but it is all just Satan’s deceptive counterfeit. Once a person leaves the Christian rock concert, or the fellowship filled with all of these “manifestations”, the temporary thrill wears off; and for the next six days, they live their ho-hum existence, until they can go back for a refill when the next weekend arrives. This is not what true Christianity is about.
What a Wonderful World was our song,
But something’s gone terribly wrong,
Sin and corruption all around I see,
So many people are living in misery.
Peter robs Paul so he gets to the top,
Oh when will this madness ever stop?
Just what have we all been reduced to?
And what have we all become used to?
It’s just sex and money, sex and money,
Nothing about it is really that funny.
Yes, it is actually quite a sad tragedy,
Isn’t it time to get on our bended knee?
Jesus is the Light of Israel, the Light of the World, and the Flame, as we see by the following verses:
“Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:” Psalm 104:2, KJV
“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.” Isaiah 9:2, KJV
“And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;” Isaiah 10:17, KJV
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” John 1:4-9, KJV
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12, KJV
“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:5, KJV
“Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth . . . I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” John 12:35, 46, KJV
“The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.” Isaiah 60:19-20, KJV
“His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;” Revelation 1:14, KJV
“And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;” Revelation 2:18, KJV
“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.” Revelation 19:12, KJV
“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.” Revelation 21:23-25, KJV
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” Revelation 22:16, KJV
The flame is also symbolic of the presence of God’s Spirit. Furthermore, some of the ministering spirits of God are compared to flames. Consider these verses:
“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” Hebrews 1:7, 14, KJV
“And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.” Revelation 4:5, KJV
