The Word Of The Week: Poppycock |6

Jul 26, 2025

Poppycock, n; foolishness, nonsense, baloney, bunk, hokum, the antithesis of truth.

I know very well how foolish it sounds to those who are lost, when they hear that Jesus died to save them. But we who are saved recognize this message as the very power of God. So what about these wise men, these scholars, these brilliant debaters of this world’s great affairs? God has made them all look foolish and shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense. For God in His wisdom saw to it that the world would never find God through human brilliance, and then He stepped in and saved all those who believed His message. God has deliberately chosen to use ideas the world considers foolish. He has chosen a plan despised by the world, counted as nothing at all, and used it to bring down to nothing those the world considers great, so that no one anywhere can ever brag in the presence of God. 1 Corinthians 1

The next time someone rejects God’s plan of salvation, recognize their position for what it is. Nonsense. Poppycock.
