Woe in political world

Dear Editor, A specific word used by our Lord Jesus is appropraite to certain political and dogmatic individuals today, and that is “Woe.” In the Gospel of Luke 11:42-46 our Lord said: “Woe to you Pharisees!” Further, He said the same thing to the scholars of the Jewish law. He critcized both of them for their political, unjust burdens, and lack of compassion they imposed on their people for their selfish benefit. Fast forward to todays’ political climate: ¯ Woe to you Donald J. Trump for trying to destroy our Democracy with lies. ¯ Woe to you Trump for putting Vice ...

Long-term care ‘crisis’ Dear Editor, The term ‘crisis’ is tossed around too easily today, but the workforce challenges in long-term care have truly reached ‘crisis’ levels. In Pennsylvania, we have more elderly and adults with disabilities in need of care than available caregivers. This, in turn, has overwhelmed hospitals and forced vulnerable seniors to remain at home while awaiting admission into a nursing home. Within the past few weeks, this crisis was set to become more dangerous — until Senator Michele Brooks and other state legislative leaders took action. ...

Signs of poor taste Dear Editor, Madison Avenue’s two political protest signs – wanting the president and all who voted for him to be fornicated — reflect terribly on the people in those two houses.

The “F” word has been around since the Middle ...

Winning spirit Dear Editor, As one who ministers in both the Youngsville and Warren communities, I found it especially encouraging to see in the news that the Youngsville Eagles banner charged onto Mike Shine Field on a recent Friday night. I had hoped that such an event would become a part of the football program’s regular schedule ever since the co-op arrangement was announced. While overdue in my opinion, it is wonderful to see Youngsville’s football players play again in their hometown. Our county is blessed with proud communities who strive to raise their children with the ...

On right track

Dear Editor, Listening to Donald Trump at a recent rally for gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, I was reminded of Trump’s strengths as our president. He cares about this country, he cares about the average American, he cares about unborn babies. And his policies showed that his actions backed up his words. Under Trump’s leadership America was energy independent, deregulation encouraged small businesses, low gas prices helped the working class, unemployment was low, and the southern border was being secured. We need men like Mastriano and Trump. Men who want what is good for ...

God’s Word matters most

Dear Editor, As I was reading the story in the Sept. 3 edition, I became curious about a couple of things. Have differences in the church now become front-page news in the local newspaper? But more importantly, since when does the Word of God come up for a vote? If they were knowledgeable in the Scriptures, they would know better. These things ought not to be. The bishop’s tragic error was when she used the analogy concerning the parting of ways between the apostle ...
