ABQ JOURNAL REPORT ON CRIME IN ABQ
My goodness another story on how crime is out of control in Albuquerque!!!! Satan rules over many. Please be careful out there people are being attacked in parking lots and at gas stations. A friend of ours this week had a lady try get into her car while she was pulling away from the gas pumps. Crime has no zip code.
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.
Here is the latest horrific crime that took place in Albuquerque……
From Pastor Dewey………
Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3
But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” Matthew 19:14
I love this quote………
The famed British Evangelist Gipsy Smith used to ask his audience, “Do you really want to see a revival begin?” When the people said yes, Gipsy replied, “Then go back to your home and draw a circle around you on the floor. Then get down on your knees in the middle of the circle and ask God to convert everybody inside that circle. When you do that, and God answers, you are experiencing the start of revival.”
Why do we allow this continued tragedy in New Mexico? How do we expect God to bless this state? Abortions, Child abuse, and Child poverty. We abuse God’s children. I know these are tough words but I beleive them with all my heart and souls, we are all guilty of allowing this to take place.
We allow the killing of God’s babies through abortion and we also allow our children to live in poverty with the threat of being abused. We read and hear of all the children being abused every month in our state. We also having a failed education system here. We also have a horrible suicide rate, alcohol and drug problem that many of our children are brought into.
Many grandparents are raising their grandchildren as families have been ripped apart by Satan through divorce.
We must be people of God in all things, we must be Biblical people. We are failing God in many ways as a state.
Church attendance in New Mexico is put at anywhere between 15 and 20 percent.
How can we expect to ever have a thriving, Godly state?
I have come to comfort the inflicted in the work assigned me by my LORD, I have come to inflict the comfortable.
It does not make me happy to have to report this news. It breaks my heart.
The Albuquerque Journal is reporting this morning that New Mexico leads the nation with the most children under age 5 living in poverty.
Why New Mexico? This question is for us all to pray on! Why do we allow this?
I know by writing things like this I will never be a popular preacher, but this is what God has me do…..to be a watchman on the wall for HIM. I don’t do high school pep rallies.
“The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with him. But our culture doesn’t measure success this way. It rewards activism, busyness, haste, and hard work. What our culture doesn’t understand is that we can do nothing significant for God until we have been with God. Only when we are empowered by his Spirit can we advance his Kingdom.” -Oswald Chambers
“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. What I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do.” —D. L. Moody
