Black Pastor Who Prayed Over President Trump Says African Americans Who Want to Punish Whites for Racism Break the Greatest Commandment to Love Your Neighbor

--In anopinion column at Townhall, Pastor Marc Little explained that the black community does not need whites to heal from the trauma in their homes and lives. (https://townhall.com/columnists/marc little/2020/06/09/the-dilemma-for-theblack-pastor-and-racial-reconciliationn2570250)

Pastor Little, who is also an attorney and chairman of a non-profit think tank based in Washington, DC, said trauma from violent crime, abortion, "unbridled bad behavior from a lack of discipline in the home caused by the absence of men," discrimination and fear of police cannot be reconciled by blaming it on racism from whites.

"We must do the 'healing work' within the black community and we must do it now. We don't need whites to help us clean our dirty laundry," Little said.

Little, who is black, compared the healing for blacks to marriage counseling. "I cannot endeavor to fix my marriage or help my wife heal if I have not worked on addressing my own stuff in the marriage," he wrote. "Therefore, individual counseling always precedes couples counseling."

In early March, Pastor Little prayed over President Trump in the White House during a meeting with other black leaders. Little and the other leaders in attendance were ridiculed by Jimmy Kimmel and black celebrities on Saturday Night Live and CNN who described them as "White House negroes" and "Uncle Toms."

Little believes this kind of vitriol is the fuel to the pain and undiagnosed trauma plaguing the African American community and is a powder keg waiting for a spark, such as when a white police officer murdered George Floyd, an unarmed black man. "The black community needs a season of introspection and healing," Little said. "Undiagnosed trauma needs to be diagnosed so that our healing takes

place first and then reconciliation with other cultures may begin. In the absence of this approach, I humbly submit that race reconciliation efforts alone are merely an attempt to punish whites for racism which is just not consistent with the Greatest Commandment to love your neighbor as yourself." (Matt. 22:39)

The Divinity of Jesus –Why Do Christians Hold This View? Cont’d from Front Page

How people are responding to crisis financially

A new survey has found that 60% of adults are concerned about their finances over the next six months. The study by Fidelity shows that people are taking steps to improve their financial goals. - 48% are cutting back on non- essential spending. - 44% are working to boost emergency savings. - 15% are investing more money in the stock market. Very low stock prices on solid companies have made cash investing attractive. However, according to Motley Fool, people should only invest money that they won't need for at least seven years.

Changes in the Workplace

The virus crisis has changed much about work and the workplace. According to guidance from ADP, "As of March 2020, the COVID- 19 pandemic has met the direct- threat standard referred to above, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)." That means screening protocols will be in place in the workplace until the CDC or public officials revise their assessment. Here are some precautions you might experience when you enter the workplace for the first time since quarantine: - Your temperature might be taken upon entering the workplace. - You might be issued a face mask and expected to wear it. - Some employees will be expected to telework. - Physical space separations may be in place, for example, partitions between employees. - You might be asked to maintain a work station strictly separate from others. One example: Only every other register might be open. - Six- foot floor marks might indicate where you and customers can wait and stand. - Meetings might be via computer. - Group gatherings might be prohibited. - Business travel might be discouraged. - Hand shaking might be discouraged. - Sharing tools, food, or drinks could be discouraged. - Visitors will be discouraged.

continued As the former Oxford professor and thinker C. S. Lewis observed, if you read through the New Testament and consider what Jesus taught, you have to either accept what He said as the words of God or discard them as the ramblings of a madman. The power and the timeless wisdom of Jesus’ words lend credibility to his claims of divinity.

4. The Resurrection of Jesus

from the dead. If the Resurrection really happened, then it is the greatest evidence of all for the divinity of Jesus. Christian apologists such as Ravi Zacharias, Lee Strobel and William Lane Craig identify a variety of arguments in favor of believing in the resurrection. They point to evidence such as the preponderance of the early eyewitness accounts, the multiple post-resurrection appearances of Jesus, the fact that the disciples were willing to die for their belief in the Resurrection, and the inability of the Jewish and Roman authorities to explain the empty tomb. If the Resurrection did not occur, all of Christianity unravels. But if the Resurrection really did happen, then it proves that Jesus really is divine.

Jesus claimed to be divine, his disciples and the writers of the New Testament believed him to be divine, and the billions of Christians since then have understood Him to be divine. The divinity of Jesus is a popular sub

ject of debate among Christian theologians and skeptics. But from a Christian perspective, belief in Jesus’ divinity does not require a blind faith; there is evidence that can be studied and interpreted to support belief in Jesus’ divinity.
