POPSAutistic boy banned from church Mk 5:1 (GW) They arrived in the territory of the Gerasenes on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 2 As Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man came out of the tombs and met him. The man was controlled by an evil spirit 3 and lived among the tombs. No one could restrain him any longer, not even with a chain. 4 He had often been chained hand and foot. However, he snapped the chains off his hands and broke the chains from his feet. No one could control him. Mark 5:1-4 (GW) Mk 5:15 (GW) They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. The man was sitting there dressed and in his right mind. A church that one time practiced exorcism now can not deal with an autistic boy. When the church house looses its power to save those afflicted then it has become worthless only to be turned into a social club. Only the best dressed and socially acceptable may enter.

POPSPorn for Libertarians "They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary...when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power." "There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come."

POPSEvery Gift was Handed Back - By Beth Fisher I gave Him my life completely, to show His light in a world of night, He gave me a wonderful testimony, a way to share His light. I offered Him my eyes to see all that they could take in - He showed to me a world of fear, unhappiness and sin.
