Democracy requires getting off our butts

Pam Wanner4 years ago1 mins

Dear Editor, In Athens, young adults spent two years in public service. Many over 30 formed a huge city council to make laws for the population. In Rome, citizens had extensive and regular civic duties. Elected officials served only one-year terms, so many would have the opportunity of being leaders. In Israel, land-owning parents administered the law among all relatives, boarders, and workers on their land. Parents taught law and literacy to their children. In England, families contributed labor to the castle guard, just as in America, men rotated duty as night watchmen. Both democracies had extensive militia and jury…

Ukrainian and American pain: We must unplug from Russia and China

Pam Wanner4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, America is no longer buying energy or vodka from Russia. Russians can no longer buy a McDonald’s hamburger. They can’t pay for their gasoline with a Visa, Mastercard, or even an American Express card. One thousand Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants have ceased operations in Russia. How tough can life become? For a better picture of a tough life, watch some of the news clips played daily on most television stations. See what the Russians are doing each day to Ukraine. Hospitals are bombed. Babies are murdered. Cities no longer exist. Tens of thousands have been killed by the Russian…

The great spectacle of God’s creation: Part 3 of 3

Dear Editor, Oddly enough, just 101 years after the Great Flood, and while Noah was alive, Nimrod, “the son of Cush, and therefore a great-grand son of Noah,” having a reputation of greatness, rebelled against God, got plenty of help, and started building the Tower of Babel to go to Heaven. Then the Creator came down to view the tower and confused their language so they could not communicate with each other and relocated them all over the Earth. There are other examples in the “Word of God” where God relocated even his favorite nation of Israel. They were punished far…

Jehovah’s Witnesses continue ministry in prisons without sending in ministers

Pam Wanner4 years ago2 years ago2 mins

COVID-19 shut down access to most U.S. prisons, including the Arizona State Prison Complex – Yuma, where Shannon Gunderman volunteered with a group of Jehovah’s Witness ministers. Without warning, inmates were cut off from a robust Bible education program that included weekly Bible-based discourses, audience discussions, individual Bible studies, and video presentations. Within weeks, Jehovah’s Witness volunteer ministers visited the prison facility on a weekly basis conducting small group meetings for worship within each prison unit, and occasionally baptizing someone into the faith. When the prison facility went into lockdown in March 2020, Gunderman was determined to continue providing spiritual…

The grace of God, freely given for all people

Pam Wanner4 years ago2 years ago3 mins

Lent has begun, and we’re going to talk about grace. Prevenient, justifying, and sanctifying grace. But first, let’s turn our attention to the reading and understanding of scripture: “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for…
