    'Those deaths were preventable': Unvaccinated parts of country are driving the pandemic now 1 2

    by Bouncing Bill

    Virtually all deaths from COVID-19 in the United States are now among people who have not received their coronavirus vaccine. And those deaths are highly concentrated in counties — many of them in the Midwest and Southeast — where vaccination rates are precariously low. On the other hand, transmission has effectively ceased in Northeastern and Western states where governors have made vaccination a top priority, and where resistance was low among residents from the start.

    A Missouri woman didn't want a COVID-19 vaccine for fear of side effects. She caught the Delta variant and died. 1 2

    Missouri woman didn't want a COVID-19 vaccine for fear of side effects. She caught the Delta variant and died. https://www.yahoo.com/news/missouri-woman-didnt-want-covid-144312388.html I do not understand people like this woman. I am sorry she refused the vaccine, got sick and died ... but I simply do not understand. I am sure she went to see her doctors when ill or for checkups. I expect she took prescription medicine, and that has side effects. I just do not understand their thinking or, to me, lack of thinking. These tragedies should not happen. Side effects signify that the immune system is reacting and building immunity. Here is a chart of side e…

Second, I have a list of questions for thought, because I'm not sure what I believe about this. I, myself, like my medical care, so I have no thoughts of believing like the family in the above link. However, here are my thoughts. 1. If medical care is a paid service, are we required to use it? 2. If medical cures were not available for sickness 100 years ago, does it make it murder if we do not use the "cures" today? 3. Is medical care a privilege, or a right? 4. If medical care…

    The Scandal Rocking the Evangelical World 1 2 3

    by Bouncing Bill

    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/06/russell-moore-sbc/619122/ After posting this I decided that I probably selected the wrong subject. If so, I apologize. The article begins: This is an earthquake,” a prominent Christian writer told me. The publication of an extraordinary February 24, 2020, letter by Russell Moore, one of the most influential and respected evangelicals in America (and a friend), has shaken the Christian world. When the letter was written, Moore was the president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the United States.…

    Southern Baptists elect Ed Litton as their president, a defeat for the hard right 1 2

    by Bouncing Bill

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2021/06/15/southern-baptists-elect-president/ The article begins: The Southern Baptist Convention elected Ed Litton as its president on Tuesday, signaling a defeat for the hard right within the nation’s largest Protestant denomination. Litton narrowly defeated Mike Stone, the favored candidate of the far right. For the past few years, the convention has been mired in debates over racism, politics and sexual misconduct that mirror many of the same debates in the Republican Party. The election took place at the convention’s annual meeting in Nashville. …

    NJ Governor Election

    by Pastor Matt

    I don't know if anyone here lives in NJ or followed the GOP Governor elections in NJ this week, but my pastor Friend Phil Rizzo finished 2nd. He never held any political office before and jumped into the election only a few months ago. After much lies and the media ignoring him, I'm proud of his second place finish. Singh and him split votes otherwise it would have been very close. Pastor Rizzo was very instrumental and helpful with us with the start of our church.

    Will Christian Colleges Be The Next Target for Liberal Governments?

    by Pastor Matt

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/christian-missouri-college-dorms-females-males-biden-rule The following is from Fox News. Link to the article is above A federal judge has ruled against a Christian college in Missouri arguing that a Biden administration rule would require the school to open women's dorm rooms and showers to biological males. The College of the Ozarks sued the administration in April, arguing that a federal directive "requires private religious colleges to place biological males into female dormitories and to assign them as females’ roommates," which goes against the school's rules prohibiting male students from female dorms and vise-versa. …

    Four years of continued lying along with an attempted coup on a duly elected President with no consequences to those who attempted the coup as well no consequences for the Democrat supported rioters and looters followed by a very sketchy election and refusal of any court to hear the voice of the people has brought us to where we are today. I said this before but BOTH parties have laid the foundation of the Civil War and most likely large acts of terrorism that lie ahead. The Democrats with an attempted coup and the GOP for being complete sniveling cowards who would never stand with the President. This is very troubling but what did they expect? That 50-70 million American…

    Making America Great Again 1 2 3 4 15

    by Alan

    Brethren, Donald Trump made a great economic speech at the, "Detroit Economic Club," in Detroit, MI I rarely watch full speeches by any politician, and, personally did not care to hear Trump in a full speech, but, after hearing what he had to say initially, I decided to watch the full speech. I thought it was a great speech that is worthy of our attention. August 31, 2020 Note: The "Detroit Economic Club" link was removed (for whatever reason), so, I decided to replace it with the "President Trump's RNC Convention Speech." I would suggest to watch the full speech. It starts out with an introduction by Pence (which by the way would make a gr…

    Does Biden Have a Chance at Winning in November

    by Pastor Matt

    As we found out in 2016, polls are not completely accurate and not an indication of what will happen at the voting booth. I keep seeing poll after poll of Biden having a decent size lead for the Presidential election. My question is, do you think that Biden has a chance of winning in November? This is not to discuss who you're voting for, but to see if you think the polls are accurate this time around.
