POPSAmerica’s War Culture: Commander-in-Chief Idolatry Old Right conservative giant Robert A. Nisbet, often warned that aggrandizement of war and the military would, in fact, could only result in societal decay and the centralization of power. And as you'll hopefully see by the end of the post, Nisbet's thesis has been vindicated.

POPSWho's ur idol? ID, choose grace, worship Connect to last growth group training on worship. We read Psalm 146 which contrasted God with other places for trust. I like these pairs which flesh out, clarify, detail, what it means to worship, and how things can be alluring. Each growth group, in incorporating worship, can figure out which idols are relevant to their realm, and how the gospel of forgiveness speaks to them.

POPSConfronting The Racism Burning in Our Midst! <"Think about that, folks. My black relatives fear I may suffer physical harm from fellow blacks for daring to disagree with our black president. Meanwhile, whites are afraid to speak out against our black president for fear of being called racist. Dear Lord, what is going on in our country? "Disapproving relatives have expressed fear for my safety, warning, "Lloyd is foolishly putting his head on the chopping block!">

POPSFor Christian Readers: Faith vs. Selfishness
Selfishness is the exact opposite of love. The fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. When you allow the works of the flesh—adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, heresies, envyings, drunkenness—to dominate your life, you are subject to the kingdom of darkness. On the other hand, when you stay in the circle of love ~ God, you stay in a place of protection from the attacks of the enemy. Living a selfish life will stop the anointing of God from working in us. All sin is selfish. It is impossible to be “in sin” without also being focused on our own needs and desires. Think about it. When you do something that goes against the Word of God, you’re not thinking about how others will be affected. You certainly aren’t thinking about how God feels about your actions, at least not enough to stop engaging in the activity. Sin is based on the platform of self-exaltati

POPSThe end of the road for Barack Obama FTA: ". Vacuous promises of change are hostages to fortune if they cannot be delivered upon to improve the living conditions of a people. The slickness of campaigning that comes from a combination of heavy funding and public relations expertise does not inevitably translate into an ability to govern. There is no point a nation's having the audacity of hope unless it also has the sophistication and the will to turn it into action." A very good article from an observer across the pond.

POPSHow Long Will Bush Be Blamed! Nine months later, Americans are finding their savior has feet of clay. Foible after foible, Obama is proving to be unable to fulfill his own messianic expectations. Even more disturbing is Obama's "startlingly shallow" unwillingness to man up to his policy failures or decline to comment when presented with an opportunity to blame George W. Bush. Thus, the eloquent gift that catapulted Obama to stratospheric heights of power is fast becoming a political liability exposing him as both an unprincipled person and leader.

POPSGuess who's now banned from Capitol Christmas tree! Freedom of religion now means no religion, I guess. Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. Jeremiah 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. Jeremiah 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

POPSChildren Made to Praise Obama in Public School How sad. I wonder if any of these children were given the opportunity to opt out of worshiping this false god?

POPSTweet: Resist 9/11 Day of Service "The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry."

POPS"Good Nutrition in a Nutshell" These are good guidelines to follow. However, I struggle with everyone of them. I'm not a huge advocate for organic or raw living but I do think it is probably healthier to limit the amount of man altered foods in our diet.

POPSPhelps...the family that spews hate Since the mid-1990s, Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has spelled out its core message in neon-rainbow picket signs that read, “God Hate Fags.” In a series of outrageous stunts, members of WBC have disrupted the funerals of servicemen killed in Iraq for supporting a “Fag-loving” country, protested a memorial for victims of the 2006 Sago mine disaster claiming it was God’s punishment on the US for tolerating homosexuality, and picketed the University of Wisconsin, where three students had recently died in a house fire, claiming the parents were to blame for “teaching them to be whores and bastards.”
