Bad Word

Ronnie Wolfe

In my Sunday School class Sunday, we were studying through the book of Revelation when we came to Chapter 17. The first verse has in it what we normally accept as a "bad word."

It was my grandson's turn to read; and, as he read and came to that word, he simply said "that bad woman" instead of reading the actual word--not bad thinking!

Of course, most all young people know the word and what it means, but we should all be taught not to use it in everyday language. In reading the Bible, however, to read the word is not cursing.

The word helps to tell the story of how bad the world will eventually get--worse and worse. This includes the use of inappropriate language to manifest rebellion.

I am told that a few teenagers in our town are walking around the streets shouting curse words in the presence of women and children and other decent people.This shows the rebellion they have in their hearts.

What Is A Man?

Ronnie Wolfe

This article is not up for debate. I know what a man is--I really do.

But I want here to tell a little story about a man and a woman that I think you will find interesting if not funny.

Once, while in the 9th grade at Morgan School, one of the teachers came up with the idea that one day would be set aside for a boy to carry the books for a girl all day long.

Because of my handicap, I could not carry books for any girl, so I did not know quite what to do. A girl by the name of Janice Brown was assigned to me, so we got together and discussed this dilemma. She said, "Why don't I just carry YOUR books tomorrow, so that is what we did.

I was still the man, and she was still the woman, and we made it through the day. The sad ending to this story is that Janice (Brown) Sponcil passed away last Thursday, July 21, 2022. She was a wonderful person, and many people will miss her terribly. May God bless the family!

America's Malady

      Dr. Ronnie Wolfe – July 2, 2022

God is in every crevice and corner of America; therefore, he knows the totality of her malady. He sees her ills from within and from without. He has and does diagnose the least and the greatest of America’s symptoms and her neglect in mollifying her cancers with ointment and to listening to her Doctor’s instructions in order to be healed.

She cannot live; her poison is too deep and her care of herself is too lazy and nonchalant. She cannot heal, for she neglects her healing practices and forgets to partake of her medication. She is drowning in her own blood and swelling from her own fluid.

Her only hope is in her Doctor’s care, but she will not call upon him for help, though he continually inquires of her condition and warns her of her destiny and her deadly prognosis. If only she would take her medicine and receive proper instruction from her Doctor, she may live. That is the desire of her doctor–that she may live!

There is miracle in her doctor, for he is divine. He can bring her out of the deepest valley where death lodges. He can place her on sound footing and send her forth on steady ground.

Yet she will not have this Doctor to rule over her affairs; she is arrogant and is famishing in her own beauty and her many advantages and riches. Her riches cannot save her, and her advantages are like a wilting rose. She must come to judgment, says her Doctor. She will famish and die if her Doctor does not take over the duties of healing her–which would take a miracle.

We now leave the room and leave her to her Doctor. He is kind and compassionate, and he will do the will of the people if thy will cleanse their ways, call out to their Doctor, and pray and beseech the Doctor to be her great Healer–He will.

Heal, oh country of mine! Heal from the inside and the outside. Make God your LORD and Jesus your Savior. The divine Spirit of God will teach you, discipline you, and guide you. This is our prayer.
