WILL MINNEAPOLIS DEFUND ITS POLICE DEPARTMENT? (Friday Church News Notes, July 10, 2020, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - The following is excerpted from Scott Johnson, “Who Ya Gonna Call?” PowerLineBlog, June 29, 2020: “The city of Minneapolis is deep into the cultural revolution driving the Democratic Party ever further to the left. The city is run entirely by Democrats. ... Mayor Jacob Frey is a Democrat, as are 11 of 12 current members of the city council. The twelfth — Cam Gordon, Ward 2 — is a member of the Green Party. That’s diversity, Minneapolis style. ... The city council has taken up.. Read More

A Regenerate Church Membership - July 9
The following is excerpted from The Discipling Church: The Church That Will Stand until Christ Comes, available as a free eBook from www.wayoflife.org. —
A regenerate church membership is an ancient Baptist principle based on clear biblical teaching, and it was practiced by most Baptist churches in America until the beginning of the 20th century.
The Somerset Confession of 1656 stated,
“In admitting of members into the church of Christ, it is the duty of the church, and ministers whom it concerns, in faithfulness to God, that they be careful they receive none but such as do make forth evident demonstration of the new birth, and the work of faith with power.”

“All these evil things come from within, and defile the man”
America and Slavery - July 8
Slavery has been practiced since the fall of man. It is not a a product of “racism”; it is not an issue of skin color; it is a product of man’s sinful heart because of which he practices far more hatred toward his fellow man than love of neighbor. Jesus described man’s condition with perfect accuracy:
“And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things..

What Does Google Know About Me? - July 7
The following is excerpted from “What Does Google Know about Me?” by Gabriel Weinberg, CEO and Founder of DuckDuckGo, March 24, 2020.
You may know that Google is tracking you, but most people don't realize the extent of it. Luckily, there are simple steps you can take to dramatically reduce Google's tracking.
But first, what exactly are they tracking? Unlike searching on DuckDuckGo, when you search on Google, they keep your search history forever. That means they know every search you’ve ever done on Google. That alone is pretty scary, but it’s just the shallow end of the very deep pool of data that they try to collect on people.
What most people don’t realize is that even if you don’t use any Google products directly, they’re still trying to discover as much as they can about you. Google.. Read More

The following is excerpted from 21 Steps to a Stronger Church for the 21st Century, available as a free eBook from www.wayoflife.org—

The Illiad vs the New Testament - July 1
The Illiad and Odyssey are two of the most famous writings from ancient history. They were probably written by an ancient Greek named Homer, though it is not known exactly when he lived and nothing is known for sure about his life. The classical Greek authors believed in the historical Homer and thought that he lived sometime between 1100-850 BC. In the fourth century BC, Plato called Homer the “protos didaskalos” (“the first teacher”) of Greece.
The oldest fragments of the Illiad and Odyssey date to the third century BC, at least 500 years after Homer. And the oldest entire manuscripts of Homer’s writings are from the 10th and 11th centuries.. Read More

“..to law enforcers at the local, county, state, and federal level, thank you. You are in our prayers.”
Thank You, Law Enforcers - June 30
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon.. Read More
