I have done too many funerals of young people dying of violence in Albuquerque. Gun fire, stabbings, drug overdoses and suicides. It has finally forced me to take a time out here in December. Sad to say, I am mentally wore down. We all better be so very thankful for our law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMT’s, doctors, nurses and funeral home directors. They deal with all these killings. DO NOT TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED! I work with many funeral directors and I see first hand how they take care of the families that have been struck by tragedy. I also want to WARN YOU to be very aware of your surroundings. I am not kidding when I say there is no safe place in Albuquerque. Do not be careless. Nothing will change in Albuquerque or any place in America until more and more people come to JESUS. This violence is of Satan, he has blinded so many in America. I see no end of this horrific violence.
You and I are not even safe on the streets driving our cars, road rage is awful in Albuquerque. Crime has no zip code. I went to Dions on Friday near our home at Coors and Montano to pick up dinner and a man was sitting outside bleeding. He had been beat up at the nearby bus stop. Then there was a road rage murder on Montano. More Here
I want to encourage you to be aware of the violence in the Albuquerque Metro. This summer a thug was firing shots at the softball fields at the Albuquerque Sports Complex. We played our church league games there. We were not playing at the time but other games were going on. No one was injured. Thank the Lord. JESUS is needed in the world. Christians need to carry out The Great Commission, building bridges of love and trust with the lost. FGGAM is a Great Commission Ministry!

Why is the World full of evil?
“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, 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 Scriptures call the mind of the 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 its thoughts. The sinful mind is under the control of Satan and can never please God because it concentrates on things of the world and not things of the Spirit. The natural mind walks the road of hopelessness and self-destruction.
