I am weeping…………
I started as a newsman at the Minnesota State News Network in 1978 as an intern. News has been a huge part of my radio life, it still is here at FGGAM. God shows me much as I write everyday, 7 days a week, here at the ministry. God speaks to me through the news of the day. That is why I take my calling by God so very seriously.
When I went out to the driveway to get the Albuquerque Journal this morning around 5:30, I saw the headline: Mother, daughter found dead in SE ABQ. I wanted throw up. I am shaking as I type this. I wonder if it affects you this way? I am wondering if people in New Mexico are becoming numb to the extreme violence in this state? Do many just turn the other way and say, “Oh That is too bad” and go on????
Are people alarmed that crime is so bad in Albuquerque that the FBI and State Police have been called in to help? Whats next the National Guard? Call me crazy, but that what was going on in the 60’s when things got out of control in America. Many have no moral code.
We must be in prayer for Revival! We must carry out the Great Commission.
I do not know if people care enough about each other anymore???????
Please join us in praying for the family of the mother and daughter who were killed. My heart weeps. Story Here from ABQ Journal
The following post by Billy Graham is right on……….

Why can’t people live life the way they want?Jun 22, 2019 |

| From the writings of the Rev. Billy GrahamQ: Why can’t people live life the way they want to when it comes to their own personal morality? Why is it anyone’s business? — I.L.
A: No one lives in the world “alone.” The human race was put on Earth to enjoy the benefits given by God. The world needs moral leadership that respects the rights of all men and women — rights that God designed for our benefit and to give us the greatest potential for leading productive lives. We need a morality that guarantees respect for mothers who mother, for fathers who father, and for all those who live and work together to fulfill God’s commandments to pursue our individual destinies. We do not need a new moral order; the world desperately needs the tried and tested moral order that God handed down centuries ago. Unless we turn to the morality that Jesus Christ exemplified, society is doomed! Many years ago the Secretary of Health and Human Services called for a renewed sense of personal responsibility, stating that Americans were experiencing consequences of unwise choices of behavior and lifestyle. Linked to this is an erosion of those institutions that have generated, shaped and sustained our ethical and cultural standards — family, neighborhood, school and church. We have changed our moral code to fit our behavior instead of changing our behavior to harmonize with God’s moral code. We have glamorized vice and minimized virtue. The fact that immorality is rampant throughout the nation doesn’t make it right. The Ten Commandments are just as valid today as they were when God gave them. They provide the foundation of right living in the sight of God and with others. “We should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age” (Titus 2:12). ======== (This column is based on the words and writings of the late Rev.

New Mexico is the worst place to be a kid……….
This is just plain awful! New Mexico is the worst place in America to be a kid!
What does New Mexico not understand about Matthew 19:14….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.”
Has the Church forgotten this from Jesus? Matthew 28:19? THE GREAT COMMISSION! This is not a suggestion! Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
GO!
Albuquerque has become so violent that the FBI and State Police have been called into help APD!
Come on Church! It is up to the Church and Pastors to be leaders here! Put your prayers to work with your hands and feet! Go out and help families. Go where the help is needed. GO! Leave the walls of your Church, leave your so-called boundaries and go and help. It is just plain awful what is happening here in New Mexico, shameful! You can not leave our children’s future to the government. It is very, very wrong to think that the Republicans and Democrats can take care of our babies with money and laws. Both the Republicans and Democrats here in New Mexico have had the chance to fix this problem for many years and have promised to, both parties have failed miserably!
It is the Church’s responsibility! The Body of Christ! These are not Facebook video moments, being in the lights, ….this is getting your hands dirty. Getting out into the areas of New Mexico that suffer from such things as suicide, drug overdoses, children without a Mom or Dad at home, parents that are absent, parents that buy drugs instead of food, etc… I know, I see it and do my best to help! Go into the homes of deep poverty, it will make you think! Walk through the laundry knee deep on the floor
, backed up sewers…etc..
New Mexico should be ashamed. God is not happy! We have know one to blame but ourselves. It is time for the Church to look into the mirror. ABQ Journal Report
New Mexico is not a peace with God, poor care of our children, killing babies through abortion.
This is what I shared earlier today from Billy Graham, this addresses people looking in all the wrong places for peace and good will.
The human race continues its futile search for peace in all the wrong places, putting its hope in governments and religions. This is what the Bible says concerning mankind’s futility: “The way of peace they have not known” (Romans 3:17).
Today there is little personal, domestic, social, economic, or political peace anywhere. Why? Mankind has within it the seeds of suspicion, violence, hatred, and destruction. People cry for peace but it evades them because they will not humble themselves before Almighty God.
While it is important to keep working toward peace with others, the greater need is for peace with God. But because the human heart is full of sin, peace will not come to the world until Christ returns. Jesus said, “Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division” (Luke 12:51). Jesus was not saying that He prevented peace; He was giving fair warning that His message would divide people. After all, who likes to be told they’re sinners who must repent?
If the United Nations could bring lasting peace, man could say to God, “We don’t need You anymore. We have accomplished peace and have organized humanity in righteousness.” All of these schemes are patchwork remedies that a sick and dying world uses while waiting for God’s return.
God does not mince words. But He also does not warn us of our sin without offering us the remedy. We can have peace in our hearts in the midst of domestic turmoil, national crises and worldwide terror because He said, “In Me you may have peace” (John 16:33).
