It is Holy week and today is Good Friday. As we celebrate His death and resurrection let us all remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Thank Jesus for His love that motivated His emptying Himself and becoming a man, so He could be the lamb who takes away the sin of the world. Let us walk in His steps as we love, witness and serve. Seek a good assembly to worship Him on Resurrection Sunday.

Good Friday…

A Failed City
‘Bob Lee killing highlights San Francisco crime fears’ (BBC, 4/7) It takes a rich tech and money mogul’s violent death to bring serious attention to the disaster that “the City” has become. We can remember when San Francisco was the beautiful city by the bay. We went to the theater, Ice Capades, visited Golden Gate Park, China Town, Height Ashbury, the Presidio, Lombard Street (the crookedest street in the world), museums, and various other great places of interest. Today it has become a violent, lawless place overrun by the homeless and criminals. The reasons are legion starting with family and culture decline, failed criminal justice, and failed leadership. Bob Lee had moved to Miami to escape the crime in San Francisco. It is sad he made a trip back

A Failed Culture

‘Wrestling with hard truths; Nashville Christians cling to the hope of the gospel amid overwhelming sorrow’ (World, 4/7) This attack on a Christian School in Nashville resulting in the deaths of 3 children and 3 adults (reporting of which seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth, we wonder why) apparently was not random, but an attack on Christians. Determining what happened can inform us as we try to find ways to compassionately treat the mentally ill. A similar situation in Colorado Springs was thankfully stopped in the planning stages. Apparently, violence is becoming a feature if one speaks out about truth. And now the honesty: Mainstreaming transgenderism and making it the way to gain value and attention while denying it is an emotional illness and sin against God’s creation, is not working out all that well

Everyone needs Jesus, who died for the sin of the world and rose again.

All who believe in Him, have eternal life
