The Modern Beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in wallet, for theirs is a line of credit.

Blessed are the devious, for they shall decieve many.

Blessed are they who whine, for they shall eventually be given into.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for conformity, for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the low expectors, for they shall be proven correct.

Blessed are the litigators, for they shall see settlement.

Blessed are the latchkeys, for they shall be called children of Television.

Blessed are they that opine against the Madness, for theirs is the Internet.

Jake, I know this has no relation to the article at all (and I don't have your email address), but go check out www.vintagefaith.com. Don Carson told us a few weeks ago this, along with the New Perspective, would be one of the theological challenges we will have to face in our generation.

Is an "expector" the opposite of an "inspector"?
And will a "low-expector" be expectorated for being lukewarm?

Didn't you minor in English?

I communicated, even if I broke the rules.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for conformity . . ."
