I am so very thankful for the leadership of Mayor Tim Keller and Albuquerque Police Chief Mike Geier. These two men have made a great difference in our city! Albuquerque remains a very violent city, one of the most violent in our country! No doubt, but it is good news that the overall crime rate is going down. ABQ JOURNAL REPORT

It is going to take much prayer and work to continue to fight violent crime in the city. I am thankful that Mayor Keller and Chief Geier just don’t talk, they take action!

Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'” Matthew 4:10

Let us continue to prayer constantly for all of our Police Officers, not only in Albuquerque but all over America. 33-year-old police officer, Ronil Singh was killed in the line of duty  California Officer Killed

Sharon and I pray for all of our Officers and their families all over America. Also our Firefighters, in Flint, Michigan this week, Firefighters got caught in gun fire, thankfully they were not hit!

Too much of the world struggles with the “natural mind” The thinking process that is limited to human reason and resources. Human history shows that the natural mind becomes progressively self-destructive if left to it’s own desires. People who are directed by their natural minds walk in darkness and have incorrect thinking.
“So I tell you this, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.” Eph 4:17,18
The Word of God calls the mind of a natural man “blinded” 2 Cor. 4:4 “depraved” Romans 1:28, “corrupt” 1 Tim 6:5, and “unspiritual” Col. 2:18. The natural mind thinks from a humanistic  sin-debased viewpoint. The viewpoint of the flesh directs it’s thoughts. The sinful mind is under control of satan.
This why we must share the light of Jesus Christ to one person at a time……..what I just shared with you is why so many of the folks in Washington struggle!
Let us all be Christ like in all we do, to have the mind of Christ! Let us strive to be Salt and Light!
Do not show an unbelieving world what it wants to see. Let us all exhibit Godly behavior.
