GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: FOR WHO THE BELL TOLLS NEXT.

Just five people shy of Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting incident that claimed 26 lives, the Uvalde Texas Robb elementary school mass shooting at 21 victims, now ranks among the highest grossing gun carnage in America. It is sad that such frequent blood spilling has tragically become part of our culture as a society. May the souls of the killed now rest.

25th AMENDMENT: ITS NOW ALL CRICKET.

Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi once questioned former President Donald John Trump's fitness to remain in office due to what she claimed was his declining mental capacity. Does anyone know what Madam Speaker presently thinks about the incontrovertible case which America is now saddled with? Just curious!

WHO WILL REBUILD UKRAINE?

The West should convert frozen Russian assets, both state's and oligarchs' owned, into a full seizure and set them aside for the future rebuilding of Ukraine. Like the Marshal Plan, call it the Putin Plan.

#MeToo MOVEMENT: A BAD NEWS GONE CRAZY.

"To all the women who testified, we may have different truth, but I have a great remorse for all of you. I have great remorse for all of the men and women going through this crisis right now in our country. You know, the movement started basically with me, and I think what happened, you know, I was the first example, and now there are thousands of men who are being accused and a regeneration of things that I think none of us understood. I’m not going to say these aren’t great people. I had wonderful times with these people. I’m just genuinely confused. Men are confused about this issue. We are going through this #MeToo movement crisis right now in this country." - Harvey Weinstein.


RON DELLUMS: UNAPOLOGETICALLY RADICAL.

"If it’s radical to oppose the insanity and cruelty of the Vietnam War, if it’s radical to oppose racism and sexism and all other forms of oppression, if it’s radical to want to alleviate poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, and other forms of human misery, then I’m proud to be called a radical.” - Ron Vernie Dellums.


WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE - STEVE JOBS

“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me. God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. Memories precipitated by love is the only true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on. The most expensive bed in the world is the sick bed. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life. Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others.” - SJ

EVIL CANNOT BE TRULY DESTROYED.

"The threat of evil is ever present. We can contain it as long as we stay vigilant, but it can never truly be destroyed. - Lorraine Warren (Annabelle, the movie)


ONLY THE POOR WISH THEY HAD STUFF?

“I’m not that interested in material things. As long as I find a good bed that I can sleep in, that’s enough.” - Nicolas Berggruem, the homeless billionaire.

RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, A MYTH OR REALITY? - an article by Pastor Bob Paulson!

Did the Resurrection of Jesus Really Happen? The truth may surprise you, this week as we celebrate Easter! This is the day that our Lord rose from the dead. But did Jesus Christ really die on the cross and then rise from the dead three days later? I mean when you think logically about it, how can it be true? Wasn't their a documentary a couple years ago that said they found the bones of Jesus Christ?
Well let's look at the facts behind this. One of the first theories that came about and it is often used by Muslims is that Jesus did not really die on the cross. Since this is the easiest one to prove, I think I will start here. Now if you are ever in a discussion with a Non Christian I always find it easier to start with the fact that their was a man named Jesus Christ (Again that is translated from the Greek). Historians agree that he was born and he was in fact crucified. So let us look at this theory that Jesus actually survived the crucification and that is the reason all these people saw Jesus walking around after the crucification. We have to remember that the Roman guards who were in charge of the crucifixion knew what they were doing. When someone is crucified, they die from asphyxiation, blood loss, hypovolemic shock, sepsis or even dehydration. Their is only one record of a person surviving crucification. The Emperor Titus had three people taken down off the cross and given medical treatment. Only one of them survived.
So we can take it as a fact that crucification was pretty good at killing people. Now because it was Passover, it was important for the Jews to have this finished by sundown. Again the guards in charge were very familiar and knew how to move things along. In order to stay alive a person being crucified would push up on his feet to breathe. Yes with a huge spike in your feet it was painful. So in order to move it along, the soldiers would simply break the legs on the person. This way they could not push up and they would suffocate quickly. This is exactly what happened to the men being crucified with Jesus. But they did not break Jesus's legs, why? Well the Guards saw that Jesus was not pushing up on his legs to breathe. So instead of exerting energy by picking up the heavy mallet and crushing his legs, they simply stabbed him with a spear.
Now the people who claim he didn't die often cite the fact that the Bible says water and blood came poured out and that dead people do not bleed. Well this is just wrong. Remember, he just died and you can ask any medical doctor that if a person died recently and is stabbed through the heart sac and lungs would blood come out? The answer is yes. Plus you have to remember that Jesus was beaten terribly before being crucified. If you ever watched the movie by Mel Gibson, even though it was not Biblically accurate it showed a pretty accurate portrayal of his scourging and flogging. Our Lord was beaten so badly that he could not even walk to the crucification site! OK lets just say that after Jesus was beaten to near death, had large spikes pounded into his wrist and feet (This alone would kill a person), hung on the cross for hours so weak that he could not even push up on his feet to breathe, then stabbed in the heart and lungs, he was taken down and was alive. What happened next? He was anointed for the burial. Than means between 50 and 100 pound of oils and spices were placed all over his body and he then was wrapped tightly with cloth. Their is no way he could have lived through that! He would have asphyxiated! Remember the only recorded survival of a crucification had immediate medical attention. Jesus was placed in a cold dark tomb and had armed guards on the outside. Their is no way he was alive through this.
Now the second theory is that Jesus did not resurrect at all. This is pretty easy to dismiss as well. Remember it was about 500 years from the time of Malachi to the time of Jesus. Their were prophets all over the place preaching. If Jesus did not come back from the dead, he would have simply been forgotten. But the Bible tells us that over 500 people saw him. That is the reason he was not forgotten. The second thing I bring up is a man named Paul who used to be called Saul. He was a highly educated Jewish scholar who hated and hunted down these Christians. The only way his mind could have possibly been changed is by Jesus Christ himself. And because of his transformation he became the biggest evangelist our world has ever seen. My friends, Jesus is real, he was born as a human, he was tortured and died and yes he absolutely rose again on the third day! Praise the Lord, our Christ has risen and whosoever believeth in Him shall have ever lasting life! May you have a blessed Easter.
Yours In Christ,
