An Update, Prayer Request and Some Things I Want To Say

     First of all, the sermon will not be posted until Saturday this week. 

     Second. Please pray that we do not get a bad winter storm with ice in my area. Thank you. Also, keep praying for the people affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

     Now, there are a couple of things that I would like to say. In my country, there is currently a push in a few states to weaken the child labor laws. One state is proposing that children as young as 14 be allowed to work in meat packing, mining and other dangerous industries. Supposedly, this is to address the so called labor shortage in the US. 

     In my thinking, this is disgusting to even be considering something like this. Back in the early 1900s, political leaders and religious leaders worked diligently to protect children with child labor laws. They worked for the eight hour day, safe working conditions and other important protections. We don't want to role these things back now just for the sake of more human greed. 

     Moving on. There is controversy over the ads run by a Christian group during the Super Bowl. I did not watch the Super Bowl. However, there was nothing wrong with these ads. I have no idea why some politicians are upset about them. Jesus and His way are what we are to follow. It is best not to listen too much to people that would attack the Lord Jesus and His teachings.
