    Pastor Mize takes a more serious tone in episode 8. Tired of the fighting within society the last straw was seeing his church body (LC-MS) begin to turn against itself for the sake of bullying faithful men simply doing their jobs as pastors. Time and patience are gifts from God, let us attend them before joining up with groups that draw "us against them" lines in the sand. If we can't do this for the sake of Christ...well..then there is no peaceful, harmonious, or positive outcome.

    God helps those who help themselves has been a common phrase in pop culture for a very long time. In fact, it's been in pop culture so long it isn't as much "pop" as it is poop. As in, ancient Greek Mythology. So, where does this come from? Does it help Christians? Should we stop saying it?
