“Where Does Brian Kemp
Go For An Apology?
Deer Cuzzin Val:
Cuzzin, I don’t know what
ali a the fuss is ‘bout whether
the North Korean leader had a
stroke or not...just because Kim
Jong Un might be brain dead
doesn’t mean at ho caint run a
country. Just look at ah a the
people that think Joe Biden
still can!
Ill bo short this weak as my
pencil needs sharpenin’ an’ I
don’ts feel like hit rite at the
mi unit. ..might get ‘round to hit
ta’morrer or some time next
week iff’n I caint get oT Duke
to do hit fer me.
Congrats to yore Guv Brian
Kemp fer openin’ Gawjah
up...but, as Erick Erickson
yy
opined, “Where does Brian
Kemp go for an apology?” As
Erick pointed out, the IHME
model revised down signifi
cantly the expected cases in
Gawjuhah’ so Dimmykrats an’
the Press {D) moved the goal
posts. The idjits claimed yore
guv'd have “blood on his hands”
but once ag’in, they were
proved wrong!
I’ll go by an’check on Dipstick

know how they air’a faren’ wit’

Perhaps ironically, there is a
death that must occur in us. In
John 12:25, Christ said, “He
that loveth his life shall lose it;
and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep ii unto life
eternal.” In our trek toward
heaven, we must DIE to SELF
that we may live for Christ. We
must “GROW IN GRACE OR
DIE IN SIN.”

Dear Editor:
In last two articles, the focus
has been on the American Pro-
life view, held by America’s
Founding Fathers, witnessed
by the U.S Constitution they
signed in to law, “Securing the
blessings for themselves and
their posterity” and the foreign
Pro-death view, where many
Americans now vote in opposi
tion to that Pro-life view.
In last article, I promised I
would share with the reader
the Pew Institute Report,
which reveals what Americans
voted for in the 2018 midterm
elections. That report reveals
44% of the Founder’s Posterity
(whites) voted in favor of the
foreign view, while 54% voted
in favor of the U.S. Constitu
tion.
90% of black voters voted in
favor of'the foreign view, while
only 9% voted in favor of the
U.S. Constitutions “blessings
of liberty”.
69% of Elispanics voted for the
foreign view, while 29% voted
in favor of the “blessings of lib
erty”, for themselves and their
posterity.
77% of Asians voted in oppo
sition to the U.S. Constitution,
while 23% voted in favor of the
Constitution,
Question! Why are so many of
the founder’s posterity siding
with the foreign mindset?
Deuteronomy 28:15, But it
shall come to pass, if thou wilt
not hearken unto the voice of
the Lord thy God, to observe to
do all His commandments and
His statutes which I command
thee this day; that all these
curses shall come upon thee,
and overtake thee, and the for
eigner living among you will
become the head, and you fthe
posterity of America’s
Founders), the tail.
For emphasis, the foreign
mindset that has cost nearly 70
million of America’s posterity
their blessings of liberty was
not even in the mind of
America’s Founding Fathers.
The words the Founders wrote
into the U.S, Constitution is
witness to that fact.
Might it be nigh time the
founder’s posterity turn back to
the God of Blessings America’s
Founders served, before the
other prophecies found in Deut.
28, be fulfilled, one of those
prophesies, enslavement by the
foreigner living among them?

“Grow In Grace
Or Die In Sin”
Dear Editor:
While studying science in
school, I discovered some fasci
nating things - orbitofthe plan
ets around the sun, why and
how the seasons come and go,
how the moon goes through its
phases, the weather and how
it happens, and many other
things. One of the most awe
inspiring things had to do with
us human beings. As 1 studied
anatomy and physiology, I
found out that at the beginning
stages of life, every human be
ing ever born, except for Adam
and Eve, came from an egg.
produced by the mother’s body,
that was no larger than the
period at the end of this sen
tence. But God in His wisdom
made it so that once the egg is
fertilized, it develops into a
fully functioning being with
organs and body systems that
operate so well, even after
marred by sin, that we can say
like the Psalmist, “I am fear
fully and wonderfully made,”
(Psalm 139:14)
The thing that brings us from
a little cell no larger than a “pe
riod' to a fully-grown organism
is the amazing phenomenon
called GROWTH which God
has given to all His creatures.
1 often marvel at the germina
tion of the tiny seeds that are
planted in the earth, which at
fruition produce sometimes a
thousand times what is
planted, and we can put full
faith in the promise of God that
He made to mankind right af
ter the great flood: “While the
earth remaineth seedtime and
harvest...shall not cease.”
(Genesis 8:22)
As in the physical realm, we
also experience GROWTH in
the Spiritual realm. One way
the Bible expresses this is in 2
Peter 1:5-7: Giving all dili
gence, ADD to your faith VIR
TUE; and to virtue KNOWL
EDGE; and to knowledge TEM
PERANCE; and to temperance
PATIENCE; and to patience
GODLINESS; and to godliness
BROTHERLY KINDNESS;
and to brotherly kindness
CHARITY.” Another text of
scripture supporting this
theme of GROWTH states,
“That we hence forth be no
more children, tossed to and
fro,...But speaking the truth in
love, may GROW UP into Him
m all things”, (Ephesians 4:14
& 15). Still another is found in
II Peter 3:18 which states, “But
GROW in GRACE, and in the
knowledge of our LORD and
Saviour Jesus Christ.”
Another thing one notices in
nature is that whenever some
thing stops growing, it starts to
die. Again, as in the physical,
so in the spiritual. If we ever
stop GROWING spiritually,
then we start to die. There is
no point where we can stagnate

WHAT THIS ARTICLE IS
ABOUT: This article explores
the Person of the Holy Spirit
and His work in the lives of
believers,
HOW THIS ARTICLE CAN
IMPACT YOUR LLFE: You can
grow in assurance that, be
cause of the work of the Holy
Spirit, you can boldly live in
loyalty to God whatever your
circumstances and confidently
serve Him in ways you might
never have imagined.
No doctrine in Christianity
has been more misunderstood,
misrepresented, and misap
plied, than that of the Person
and work of the Holy Spirit
His work is often either ignored
or exploited by modem Chris
tians. The result is churches
full of bad theology and weak,
powerless Christians, The
Holy Spirit is the presence of
God Almighty in the believer's
life, and is the Person of com
mission within the Trinity.
Through the work of the Holy
Spirit, you can live loyally and
boldly for God in every circum
stance and experience a victo
rious life as His servant! A pan
oramic view of scripture reveals
some wonderful truths about
the Holy Spirit and proves that
He is God,
WORDS FOR SPIRIT: What
are some definitions of the
SPIRIT? The immaterial part
of human beings; soul; a human
being’s moral, religious, or emo
tional nature; a supernatural
being, such as a deity; God; the
Holy Ghost.
BIBLICAL WORDS FOR
SPIRIT: The Hebrew word
RUACH and the Greek word
PNEUMA are the words most
often used in the Bible to refer
to the Spirit. Both words can
also mean “wind” and “breath”.
For example, “And God made
a wind to pass over the earth”
(Gen. 8:1) and “The Wind
bloweth where it listeth” (John
3:8). The words also can refer
to the human spirit. For ex
ample, “I will speak in the an
guish of my spirit’’ (Job 7:11)
and “I had no rest in my spirit
(Cor, 2:13). They also can refer
to the human spirit returning
to God at death f see E cl. 12:7).
The titles of the Divine Spirit
are many: Spirit, Spirit of God,
Spirit of the Lord, Spirit of
Christ, Holy Spirit, and in the
King James Version, Holy
Ghost In John 14-16, Jesus,
called the Spirit the Comforter
(the Paraclete). The focus in
this lesson ts on the third per
son of the Divine Trinity, God’s
Spirit.
THE FESTIVAL OF TABER
NACLES: The law of Moses set
aside festivals that the Israel
ites were to keep every year
(see Lev. 23:4-44), the last of
which was the Festival of Tab
ernacles (vv, 33-36, 39-44).

“WE GOTCHA COVERED”
This festival originated after
the Israelites’ exodus from
Egypt and commemorated
their living in tabernacles (or
“booths”) from that time to the
conquest of Canaan (w, 42-43),
It also marked the end of the
yearly cycle of feasts. In the
New Testament, the Festival of
Tabernacles is mentioned only
in John 7, It was a celebra
tion of the current harvest,
and it provided an opportunity
for the people to pray for the
rain necessary for future
crops. The Israelites lived in
booths or tents, which were
symbolic of God’s care and pro
tection, not of privation. The
people carried branches of
greenery. In Jesus’ day, there
was an impressive ceremony to
signify the Jews’ trust that
God would provide rain to wa
ter the crops, nourish their
springs, and fill their cisterns.
On each of the seven days of
the feast, priests would bring
water from the pool of Siloam
and pour it out at the altar. In
John 7:37-39, Jesus used this
moment to point to Himself as
the Giver of living water and
to predict the life-giving work
of the SPIRIT that would be
done after Christ’s redeeming
work was completed.
