Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews?

Four Limericks about Government "Charity"

Posted By
I wanted to help the poor but
The government wanted a cut.
"It's really not fair,"
They said with a glare.
"We'll hit you with a rifle butt."

Charity without laws is dead.
At least I think that's what they said.
We'll trust Capitol Hill
Instead of good will
To care for the needy instead.

When Jesus said help those in need,
I'm pretty sure government greed
To fill up their coffers
With lobbyists' offers
Is what we're intended to feed.

I'm not one for pointless contrariety,
But good sense is often a rarity.
Those who think that Christ's maxims
Call for to federal actions
Should learn about subsidiarity.
