Sherlene Stevens: What Does Jesus's Church Mean To Me

If we are going to celebrate Christmas as a national holiday, doesn't that mean that we are taking actions of recognizing the part about the so-called no-good, the--No, A GOOD--man named Jesus being born within the earth realm? So if Jesus is the reason for the representation of the national holiday, doesn't that mean that we should be able to reference "him" by whatever faith-based name (Jesus, Yahweh, Isa) within public venues when expressing the traditional December holiday (including public school venues and public school music concerts and plays)?! Just a faith-based or scientific hypnotic trance, just a thought, that's all.... "The wise get their inventory  when they need it;  Fools get what they need                                       before they really need or use it." -Sherlene (Dec. 2016) In the idea of Jesus, are we also to recognize the mission and v...

August's Tweets: Varied Topics

Tweet Summary for August "And You, Your Point of View Is__?"  is an opportunity for an online, open class-style audience, to ponder of topic tweets which may or may not be factual. Tweets Contributor: Families, general public. Sponsor Associate: A Time To Learn Academy. Who are the brown people (Native Americans)? yellow people (Mexicans, Latinos)? red people (Asians)? Back in the day, the Catholic pope requested the burning of 1000s of books housed at home libraries and library-model organizations. It use to be, if a child wanted to read books their parents would be required to consent before such actions. Some parts of Europe have banned any/all untraditional religious teachings targeting children and seniors. There is a decline of citizenship and tourism in areas owned by the French, British, and Australia. In the Islamic faith, policies and regulations--developed by Islamic leaders--are only upheld for 10 years; thereafter, such public policies are reintrod...

Chp. 17 Exodus

Aired 4/18/2011. Chp. 17 17:1  Now, no water for the people who have recently escaped bondage!  Do you think they now have faith to believe that God (Yahweh, Allah) will provide? 17:2  Moses is asking the people, "Why are you coming to me ...Go and pray to God to give you what you need..." 17:3  Instead of praying the people complained and murmured. 17:4  Moses didn't take his own advice and complains to God.  Is he a good leader?  He is asking the citizens to pray for self and to stop asking him to do everything.  He becomes fearful and begins to complain.  The is what we did to Jesus (Isa). Back in the day citizens struck and killed him for self satisfaction thinking only of self as the majority in the decision making in the given society. 17:9  Joshua fights the Amalek.  When God allows you to do something it's often for later events in your life. 17:12  When the troops didn't see G...

Chp.16 Exodus (Holy Bible)

Aired 4/18/2011. Introduction: Moses is the leader of the children of Israel (Jews).  Aaron (Haroun) is the speaker. Miriam is a female priest or prophetess and a praiser. She is also the sister of Moses and Aaron. The next two chapters discusses the needs and wants of freed people and how God (Yahweh, Allah) provides for humankind. Chp. 16 16:2  Nope, here the people began complaining to the two leaders again. 16:3  We have the Israelites accusing Moses and Aaron of attempted murder of all the newly freed citizens.  Pharaoh had provided their wants only to have them nourished enough to be productive slaves for his needs and wants. 16:4  God provides and, yet, still tests us so that we trust only him.  If we trust him than we shall receive double for the trouble of trials and tribulations. 16:6  By evening, they will remember who truly brought them out of bondage.  Moses asks them, "Why do you complain to me..I am just a wo...

Noah and the Ark (Holy Bible)

The NewMonday is generally available each Tuesday evening. Closed last Tuesday due to the extreme heat :) Aired 10/4/2010 The next few chapters we will discuss Noah, his family, and the male/female creatures that were on the ark.  The ark was similar to a cruise ship. The NIV Bible says the ark was 450 feet long - long as 1 1/2 football fields and 45 feet tall; high as a five story building.  Some architectures have found parts of what could have been the ark near Africa.  The door was so large that God (Jehovah, Allah) had to shut it.  When you have big burdens it takes God to help you close/endure it.  Men, it is okay if you can not do everything.  Let God help you when something is too big for you to handle or endure.  The ark was built by Noah under God's instructions.  It took 120 years to build the ark. The name Noah means rest or comfort.  Noah is the son of Lamech and the grandson of Methuselah.  He is a part of the 10th ge...
