It’s my privilege to post another “Christian” poem by my favorite “post-Christian” poet, Zane Gilley. Thanks for your contribution, Zane. Beautiful work. Psalm IIWhy do the heathens fill themselves with rageAnd the peoples imagine things in vain?The monarchs of the world themselves engageAnd rulers counsel and bring forth a planAgainst Almighty Jehovah on highAnd the one…… Continue reading Psalm 2 {Guest Post}

Richard scowled at the framed poster displayed on an easel at the entrance to the gift store. “What a sham!” he nearly shouted. Startled by Richard’s outburst, a passerby named Peter asked, “What is?” “This poster, it’s an utter sham!” Richard replied. “These big gift store chains think they can dupe the public into buying…… Continue reading Holigram
Psalm 1 {Guest Post}
A new friend, Zane Gilley, who now ironically is an atheist has sent me a couple of poetic adaptations of the Psalms which it is my pleasure to post here at the savant spot. Enjoy! Psalm I Blessed be the man who doeth these things three: Walketh not in the ungodly counsel, Standeth not in the…… Continue reading Psalm 1 {Guest Post}
You Can Keep It
In the wake of various rallies which have taken place over the weekend regarding religion and the free exercise thereof, a question springs to my mind: “Who Would Jesus Protest?” Before you throw that question out as irrelevant, remember that Jesus lived and ministered in a highly-charged political environment. Jesus interacted with several political entities…… Continue reading You Can Keep It
Religious Unbelief
The Bible warns against unbelief but not against atheism per se. How could the writers of the Scriptures have warned against atheism? There weren’t any atheists. I’ve heard commentators on a local Christian radio station aim Psalm 14:1 (“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’”) at atheists. Of course the implication becomes,…… Continue reading Religious Unbelief
Poker Face
“Something’s wrong with me?”, Jamie, my wife, said over the phone. “I can’t straighten my legs. What am I going to do?” What was she going to do? What was I going to do? I was out on my route. I couldn’t leave. I felt helpless. She was at home taking care of our two young…… Continue reading Poker Face

Do You Know Jack?
I’ve recently been discussing the idea of truth with an acquaintance. Is it possible to know the truth? Where is truth to be found? We can discover truths by observations in nature or Scripture, but the challenge becomes assembling truths into a coherent model of reality or the truth. Of course, nobody knows how many…… Continue reading Do You Know Jack?

It’s ridiculous that I love Jesus. I didn’t want to for so long- and I successfully avoided it for almost 20 years. There was so much stacked against the idea of believing: doubt, cynicism, the weird stories about His life. But most of all, it was Christians that…
