POPSCatholic Patriarchy If your reaction to this clip is a blase "who cares" then the odds predict that you have a penis. It's remarkable that after centuries this outmoded way of thinking still holds sway. And what's even more remarkable is that women are sometimes responsible in not more forcefully opposing this outdated dogma.

POPSThe Dietrich Bonhoeffer of Our Day The spiritual sickness that Paul confronted in the Corinthian church is running rampant in America today. "You have such admirable tolerance for impostors who rob your freedom, rip you off, steal you blind, put you down — even slap your face!” Listen, and listen good. DON'T BE LED AROUND BY "SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS" DISGUISED AS “ANGELS OF LIGHT” WHO INTENTIONALLY DECEIVE YOU FOR THEIR OWN GAIN. ~ The Apostle Paul to the so called Christians at Corinth - 2 Cor 11:15-21 Proverbs 1 condemns the simple minded man who cannot investigate a matter to find the truth. Proverbs 2 praises the man who works hard at finding the truth to a matter. If you are one of the 8 out of 10 Americans who call themselves Christian, act like one or stop making the claim for yourself. Remember your Lord who stood before Pilate. He was asked, "Who are you?" Do you remember what He said? See John 18:37 1 John 2:6

POPSSeneca: Papulas observatis alienas, obsiti plurimis ulceribus There are people who are critical of some small fault in others (a pimple) while seeming to be oblivious to enormous faults of their own (innumerable ulcers). Probably the most famous example of this type of saying is the famous passage in the Gospels, as here in Matthew: Quid autem vides festucam in oculo fratris tui et trabem in oculo tuo non vides? Aut quomodo dicis fratri tuo "sine; eiciam festucam de oculo tuo" et ecce trabis est in oculo tuo? Hypocrita! eice primum trabem de oculo tuo et tunc videbis eicere festucam de oculo fratris tui. And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

POPSRapid Deployment of Bibles to US Troops Linked to from Rush Limbaugh site. Funny how he decries Mike Huckabee's populist win while advertising Bibles to troops.

POPSThe Year of Living Biblically What was your most creative loophole for following a “morally objectionable” or now-illegal rule? A.J.: I’d probably say there were two. First, stoning adulterers. The Bible doesn’t say the size of the stones, so I went with pebbles. This man came up to me in the park and asked me why I was dressed so strangely (I was wearing my sandals and white garments). I explained my project. He said, well I’m an adulterer, are you going to stone me? I said that would be great. So I took out my handful of pebbles. He actually grabbed the pebbles from my hand and threw them at me. So in retaliation, I tossed one back at him. An eye for an eye. Second, the proverbs say to punish your child with a rod of discipline. That’s not my parenting style. So I went on the Internet and bought a Nerf rod and hit him with that. But he thought it was hilarious, and hit me back with a whiffle bat, so the whole thing was a fiasco.

POPSA Timely Word - Our Daily Bread
Let's be honest: It's far tougher to live as a Christian than it is to "be" a Christian. The majority of Americans who profess to believe in God identify themselves as Christians--and that's basically what it takes to "be" Christian; to declare yourself as one. Yet the evidence mounts all around that far too few people are living a Christian life. Living as a Christian is far tougher than going to church regularly, refraining from obvious social vices like ___(fill in your favorite here), or even praying and worshiping regularly. It's transforming your life, your speech, your thoughts--everything--to conform to the will of God. The reason so many non-Christians think we are hypocrites is they see so few of us living our faith. Ephesians 4:17-32 contains God's instructions to us for living as Christians should--not only forsaking sin, but serving and encouraging others--Christians or not. Do we have the courage, the strength--yea, the faith--to live as real Christians?
