We pray for the person who was shot.
The FBI has been called in to investigate.
Former ABQ City Council candidate arrested for shooting during Protest in Old Town
One man was shot in Albuquerque Old Town as a protest over the “La Jornada” sculpture in front of the Albuquerque Museum erupted into violence Monday evening. Needless to say it is so very tragic to see America in a civil war. We are a lawlessness country, no doubt about it. We must face the facts. This is a different type of civil war, as there are many different groups, it is not just two sides fighting.
Who is going to take the lead to end this violence. NOBODY is making a move to do that. Who is going to be he peace maker in America? This country is so divided I don’t see a person that can help bring peace here, to bring the country together, except Jesus. So many have rejected Christ. That is why I have been harping on for years the Church needs to carry out The Great Commission. Christ. We are in one of our darkest times as a country.
No matter who wins upcoming Presidential election we will have unrest, because we are a divided nation, maybe in 6 pieces or more. I beleive the violence is going to get worse with the upcoming election upon us. We will even have one? I do not know. Marshall Law? I pray not.
I have been saying for years ther Church in America preaches to much to the Choir, it needs to go out and fulfill The Great Commission, so many Christians do not even know that that means. FGGAM is a Full Gospel, Great Commission ministry. I travel around Albuquerque in ther JESUS CAR, I minister in the community of Reserve before and after Church. I want to be part of the solution. I am just one person but I do what God has called me to do the best I can.
New Mexico Civil Guard Was at the Protest! Who Are They?
So now these thugs can just tear anything down? Is anything safe in America anymore? How long will this violence last? History of our Country is being destroyed.
Pastors must take part of the lead and address these issues with their communities….
Years ago a seasoned New Mexico Pastor said to me, “The Church is failing because it is not baptizing people.”
The great man of God Chuck Colson said years ago on KKIM Christian Radio, “The American Church has turned into a high school pep rally.”
I agree, I have said the same for years. The America Church leads the world in pep rally’s, that is just it, a PEP RALLY, no salt and light, no heaven and hell preaching. Many Churches baptist very few people. My Dear Freind, the late Evangelist Tom Lester, who traveled with Billy Graham at times, told me that Billy always preached, heaven, hell, sin, repentance and salvation. My Daddy always taught me to take responsibility for myself and clean up my own backyard before I would offer up any judgement of others messy backyards. The Church needs to look in the mirror instead at Facebook and selfies, and Hollywood performances with no meat and potatoes. The Church needs to go to a grave site that recognizes all the babies killed through abortion. The America Church needs to carry out The Great Commission, The America Church needs to preach on The Ten Commandments! Not many do that anymore. We will have to answer to our Lord for this.

It has been way to long since I have written you a CUP!
So much is going on…….in these times we must be in tuned with God more than ever. When we get busy or suffer from anxiety we do not hear the Holy Spirit clearly.
I am hearing from so many that are suffering from anxiety, it is an epidemic in America.
My plate is full, as I am sure yours is also, so this morning I have been seeking the Holy Spirit very earnestly.
I am very sadden by the times we live in, I am an old news reporter turned Pastor. The news is very distressing these days, I am trying to keep my sanity. That is why I stick to God so close, seeking His ways, not mans. I see that the train is off the tracks, and everybody is yelling on how to get it back on the tracks! Everybody has an opinion on how to do that. There is a lot of name calling, dirty words, accusations coming from all sides. The train is America, it is way off the tracks as to where our Founding Fathers established it on July 4th, 1776.
My Dear Friend Pastor Steve Williams posted this on his Facebook…..
I’ve been processing a thought this week. We know what the political left says and what the political right says, we even know what the media says!
Does anyone know what the Holy Spirit is saying? I think what He says is much more important than what the others have to say!
Wisdom from Pastor Steve!
It is a very sobering time in America and in the Church. New research shows that Church attendance in America is down to 20%, Churches are closing, so what should we expect?
In his new book, John Bevere, writes in “UNDERCOVER”, Lawlessness is so rampant today in America. We are warned, “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work” 2 Thess 2:7 NIV. The New King King James version refers to it as the “mystery of lawlessness.”
The mystery is hidden in its secret power. With believers, lawlessness would not be effective if blatant, only if subtle and deceptive. That is the mystery. God does not want us ignorant of this mystery or secret power, He warns us, 2 Cor. 2:11.
Satan is the master of deception. Think of it: he led a third of the angels in an uprising against God, Rev. 12:3-4. That took place in a perfect environment, in the very presence of our glorious Lord! Jesus warned that Satan was not only a deceiver but the very father of it, John 8:44. Jesus also warned us that Satan’s delusions and deceptions would be so strong in the latter days that if it were possible even the elect would fall prey to them, Matt. 24:24.
I am getting a lot out of Jon Bevere’s new book, very timely. I am feeling very old in this world with my beliefs, my faith in God, in following His ways and Words and tuning into the Holy Spirit constantly through the day for direction.
Far to many are running off and spouting off nonsense, because they are off of God’s train, that is what is called lawlessness.
I close with this from Charles Stanley, in this world of impatience, this world that wants everything NOW, WAIT….God promises that He acts on our behalf when we wait for Him. Is. 64:4. If we run ahead of Him and try to fix things on our own or manipulate circumstances, we will most certainly be disappointed. However, if we wait on the Lord, then our sovereign, divine, omnipotent God will act on our behalf. It’s our choice.
Far to many have made the wrong choice, they go forth without God.
So many are trying to fix things on their own without God, so many are manipulating the people of America.
