POPSDo This and Get Striped Searched at the Airport Have traces of drugs on a toothbrush ever brought down an airplane? Is there a limit to submission? Jesus where do you stand on this? Maybe you already said through Paul. 2 Cor 11:19-21"Since you sit there in the judgment seat observing all these shenanigans, you can afford to humor an occasional fool who happens along. You have such admirable tolerance for impostors who rob your freedom, rip you off, steal you blind, put you down — even slap your face! I shouldn't admit it to you, but our stomachs aren't strong enough to tolerate that kind of stuff. What free country ever held on to their rights by not standing up for them and defending them. In America we have the 4rth Amendment only if we use it. And if enough of us don't use it, perverts like these are invited in and will have free reign over us.

POPSArizona Pastor on Trial for Beliefs First, the video clips of the beating that started this case can be found here http://www.american-synergy.com/shield/ Next, he gets papers from the prosecuting attorney that are unbelievable (the clipmarks video I have here explains this). Then, a week later (today) they drop the charges. They harassed him for since April 2009.

POPSAmerica's Priorities, by the Beltway Elite This is a great article that reminds me of the same problem Jesus found in His day. To the religious elite (the Pharisees) He had to ask... Mark 3:4 Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill? The Pharisees could do amazing things. They could swallow a camel and strain at gnats. They could kill, but not heal on the Sabbath. It was there nature. Apparently they had children for they are with us this day. "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44

POPSIs It a Crime to Use Secrecy to Cover-up Murder? This is a very well documented article that incriminates America and you. WARNING: Once you see the truth that has been kept from you, you have a moral obligation to tell others. Murder is wrong. To know who is doing the murder and not work to expose them and stop them is to be an accomplice with them, especially in a government such as our where the People are responsible for what goes on. God will hold you responsible as well as the people who know the truth. May God have mercy on your body and soul in the wrath to come.

POPSBe a Peacemaker I'm going to be sick this 4th of July. Liberty to commit such atrocities is not liberty, but a means of storing up wrath for our children. What we do will be done to us; don't think we can break that rule. Be a peacemaker and peace will follow. War is not the best way to fight terrorism; it is the worst way. Terrorists will never provide a central, controlling structure of command, with legal authority to negotiate a cessation of hostilities and impose upon its own fighters the terms of any such arrangement. We'll never know when we have won! There are better more effective ways at dealing with terrorism. Help stop the war/occupation.

POPSChristian, Your Virtues are Need in Government Although it should be self-evident to you that torture is immoral it may not be clear that it also does not produce the results you might think it does. Please study the issue and sign this petition. Why enable our government to one day torture you for your beliefs. Don't allow our government to proceed down this path. Sign the petition and help regain our national honor and more importantly, save innocent people from needless suffering and pain.

POPSHow Many Days Was Christ Dead? Pt. 2 of 2 Happy Easter! Matt 12:38-41 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You." 39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; 40 for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. NASU

POPSWhere Party Politics Trumps Religious Principle The Apostle Paul spoke about this same kind of sickness prevalent in the church... 2 Cor 11:20-21For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of you, anyone exalts himself, anyone hits you in the face. 21 To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison. Such sickness was to be cut out of the church lest it spread. Just like the bankers cast a curse on our nation so this kind of people cast a curse on the church. There will be a purging and cleansing before the great and glorious day they boast about. If Jesus' treatment of the Pharisees is any indication of what is to come, then they will be the ones being purged and cleansed and "left behind". Repent!

POPSThomas Jefferson on Morality in Government Administration Thomas also has another good quote (at the site) on what religions have in common that benefit us all. When the church loses sight of its uniqueness as an institution we all suffer for it. The church needs to see itself and the state as two separate God created institutions with two separate roles. They are interdependent, but separate entities. When they do what they were made to do the world receives a blessing. When they don't - we have what is happening today in the world.

POPSThomas Jefferson on Self-Interest and Morality I said at the beginning of these Jefferson postings that I thought his talk on morality related most specifically to government versus individual morality. I have definitely been challenged in that assumption based on the selective readings I have seen so far. Nonetheless, here are some lines that related to what I thought at the beginning.

POPSI Am One of the 26% I am bothered by it a lot. I used to like it because of Santa. Now I hate it because of corporatism. While most people know there is no Santa, they have yet to learn about corporatism. A great movie on the subject is found at

POPSFor Republicans Only; Everyone Else Keep Informing Others Here is an example to follow. Republicans say what many Christians want to hear. In addition, because they say they are Christians many believe them and faithfully but blindly support them. Eventually, they find out how immoral they are. At this point their moral principles are tested. They either suppress their conscience (very easy to do) or they speak out (very hard to do). When they speak out, they lose their friends, but that is only the beginning. If they continue to speak out they put their life in danger. Nonetheless, this is the path Connell chose to take. It is the very path Christ took. Christians either need to deny Christ or take on the challenge presented by Him. John 18:37 ...“For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." If they would do what Connell did, the Republican Party would reform.

POPSIraq Veterans Against the War Our country is to be ruled by law. Our government is not content with that rule. So I ask, is rebellion against rebellion rebellion? "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." ~ Jesus (Addresses provided at site.)

POPSThomas Jefferson on Moral Principles I like this summary given by the author of this site for a very important reason. He defines what “morality” Jefferson will be speaking of here. He will not be speaking of morality in general terms (like the Bible speaks of morality) but in specific terms as it relates to government. Understanding this is important and often overlooked by my Christian brethren. Like Pharisees they would have God’s law in government to establish righteousness, which contradicts the teaching of the New Testament. What they would like to promote they prohibit by this dangerous misunderstanding. They corrupt both church and state with their good intentions. Consequently, like Pharisees, they are a very hard group to reach with the truth.

POPSThe Price of Sarah Palin's Wardrobe Keeps Going Up.
MY SUNDAY SERMON: And we are to believe this is all about "charity." This was the answer after pressed for an account in a previous press report. Lies and greed such as this we should avoid. "And a final word to you arrogant rich: Take some lessons in lament. You'll need buckets for the tears when the crash comes upon you. Your money is corrupt and your fine clothes stink. Your greedy luxuries are a cancer in your gut, destroying your life from within. You thought you were piling up wealth. What you've piled up is judgment. All the workers you've exploited and cheated cry out for judgment. The groans of the workers you used and abused are a roar in the ears of the Master Avenger. You've looted the earth and lived it up. But all you'll have to show for it is a fatter than usual corpse. In fact, what you've done is condemn and murder perfectly good persons, who stand there and take it." ~ James, Apostle of our Lord & Savior Jesus ~ 60 A.D.
