The Great Shalom Podcast : Overcoming Learning Problems

I give you my observation of hearing at a local school board, in a mid-sized, conservative city about the inclusion of porn, yes pornography not educational material, in the libraries of the school, including even the elementary schools. One side argued against banning books, for trusting the experts, and mocked references to the Bible, which are common in the community. The other mostly read the material (this time without the mic being cut off) and pointed out the that school policy was still in violation of SB13, and occasionally made reference to the Bible. Facts are that there are many books with pornographic material (meaning illegal to give to minors in this state were they not in schools) in school libraries, including elementary schools. The state legislation and governor argue that porn has been banned through passage of SB 13 which allows parents to investigate, appeal for removal, and mark certain books not permitted for check out for their particular child. Apparently, the procedure for committee oversight and appeal for removal have been changed. Apparently books are removed when parents visit and then replaced. Only a handful of the claimed 1300 books have been removed. This town well over 20% of its children homeschooled, and several large private Christian and charter schools. I was told that most of the student in the government schools have only one parent in the home. I agree with the opinion that I heard aired in the 1990s that there is a division between town and gown in the community. I have known this school system to violate the law. The meeting/hearing was very well attended. I sat in the overflow room, and thus viewed what proceedings I saw via screen. Therefore, I could not see the behavior of the school board. It was reported to me that everyone was within the bounds of politeness, and some appeared to agree with the community. The speakers on the left seemed to me to all be employees or retirees of the school system. I came away upset at the violence, grooming and depredation obviously in the material. I came away thinking that neither side "heard" or understood the other side. I continue to be surprised that "I love books...." was never followed by "but..." The sides clearly were hardened, neither were skilled, and some (professionals on the left) acted beneath decorum. But after all, we are having a debate on very serious violation of community standards. While this is a particular situation, with only a slice of one person's observations, I do hope my observation help both sides to understand the other -- and in the end improve the situation.

American children were shipped out of the country and obviously with many pictures migrant children were shipped in by non-parents to non-parents, for trafficking. This is so well documented that I would suspect any denier of being on a take. Notice, that I have given you here several strong sources, including NYT, which is considered on the left.

Many people who have been in Spirit Filled type churches will recognize the slogan "God heals, saves, and delivers." What does that mean? Healing should be obvious. Not jus tin the way creation was set up do things heal and regenerate sometimes, but also, we see miraculous healings. As far as I know God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the only one who heals. No one claims that competitor gods heals. Being saved seems to be a term used in the more evangelical, Bible oriented church. Any church, however, with any sort of tie to the history of Christianity witnessed to in the Bible, understands conversion, regeneration, and thus "being saved" -- even if that is not what they focus on. The terms mean the same thing. When one surrenders one life to Christ Jesus, comes under his Lordship, one receives His salvation from sin, receives forgiveness but also a new life. This is what regeneration means. One might say that the human spirit, once dead, become alive as it is not connected with God's Spirit. (That last sentence is my own thinking and not necessarily wide spread consensus theology -- but the rest is.) Salvation is from sin, from dead, and into eternal life. This change should show in the here and now, and not in the afterlife only. All Christians agree; any who do not are outside of the tradition and disconnected from the Bible. Delivers -- okay. Again, going back to the Bible, we see both Jesus and the Apostles delivering or rescuing people from demons/unclean spirits/devil(s). This idea of deliverance and rescue certainly may be applied to any negative life circumstances. Jesus helps drunks get sober, the poor find provision, the solitary find community. This should be uncontroversial. So, this is what we mean. God can heal your heart. God can heal your child. We see God doing so in various ways, in the Old Testament, in the New Testament, and in the testimonies regularly today. God can deliver you from terrible circumstances. We read miracle stories from the history of the Israel and Judah. We hear testimonies today. God tends to do this, in our understanding, mostly these days when someone surrenders their life, meaning they receive help in the way God wants to give it. Lordship and Saviorship/salvation/rescuing come together. The testimonies are almost all in this context of having a bad life, coming into a church, agreeing with the preached word, joining the community, and having a changed life. Mostly. So, this applies to you and your family. To your children. The way of the Lord is health and life. It is learning, too. Search for God. God is reaching out to you. Yes, there may be blockages. Some person or another may be used to knock you off your goal. Ignore that and grab the gold ring: salvation, healing, and rescue in all ways. Isaiah 53 is our best chapter on the Messiah, Jesus bring healing and salvation. Romans 10 is our best passage on how to get it: believe, confess, and receive. Then, you will have "walked out" (or experienced the process and now demonstrate) "God heals, saves, and delivers."

Vaccines for the Start of School? What will you do? A round up of my thoughts and questions. The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment of The Constitution of the United States of America ensures that you should be able to get an exemption. Sometimes it takes working at it. Besides, you might want to ask other questions about the safety and efficacy of the government schools. https://rumble.com/v7dau9s-truth-be-told-remdesivirveklury-death-protocols.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp Texans for Vaccine Choice Discuss Informed Consent https://rumble.com/user/txforvaxchoice Errata: I should have mentioned Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, Dr. Teresa Long, and Dr. Ardis DO among the doctor whislteblowers. You might also want to know about Lt. Col. Ivan Raiklin, who has researched the covid scam with professional expertise of both a Green Beret and a Constitutional attorney. (But is not the one mentioned in the audio.)t I have heard it said that as many of 90% of parents reported that they were likely to get the covid jab for their children, while only less than 10% did because of the truth getting out. Without the brave truthtelling of people like this, it is very likely that a a whole generation of children would have been jabbed, thereby some dying and most others having their fertility stolen. Our society likely would have collapsed. Most of the heroes in this story never set out to be heroes. Mostly, it was forced upon them and they simply chose to do the right thing, following the morals of their faith and the ethics of their profession. The question is why so many failed. Thank God, in the highest, that some did not.
