Keeping faith Dear Editor, Today I was reminded that all that is in the headlines is simply history fulfilling itself. This came to mind as I was reading from the book of the Originator of human history. Upon further research of said book I found that there is an end of human history as we know it. In the book there is described events that were predicted to come to pass that we are seeing revealed as predicted. This book is centered around the Hebrew peoples and their descendants. In today's news there is much reporting concerning global hatred of Israel and the God of Abraham, ...

Neighborly advice Dear Editor, Lately, I have been thinking about how quickly we have come to see the label before we see the person. Democrat. Republican. Conservative. Liberal. Christian. Nonbeliever. Immigrant. Gay. Straight. We hear a label, see a bumper sticker or read something on social media, and we think we know who that person is. We make assumptions before we ever hear their story. Somewhere along the way, we have forgotten that behind every label is a human being. That person has hopes and fears. They have people they love. They have experienced loss, ...

Magic money Dear Editor, Here are just three of the economic goals of the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants free bus rides and rent control, but bus drivers still must be paid. Buses must be fueled, maintained and insured. Where will that money come from? Mamdani wants the tax burden carried by high earners. But the highest-earning 10% already cover 67% of New York City’s expenses, according to The Wall Street Journal. Rent control sounds kind; some residents are struggling. But landlords have maintenance, taxes and insurance to ...

Spirit event brings concern Dear Editor, As President of the Youngsville Area Ministerium, I am writing to express the Ministerium’s sincere concern regarding the recent Warren County Spirits & Whispers Para-Con 2026 event, held at Island Park in Youngsville on Sept. 19. However benign the organizers may have intended this gathering to be, we are concerned that publicly promoting paranormal and occult-themed spirituality risks normalizing practices that Christians have long understood to be spiritually harmful. As pastors and lay leaders in the Youngsville family of churches, the ...

Who’s at the wheel? Dear Editor, Have any of you witnessed, like I have, the constant increase of infractions on the streets and sidewalks here in Warren? Vehicles roll through stop signs, drive through red lights or first slow down and then proceed through without the use of turn signals (mainly in the roundabout) on regular occasions. There is speeding in general and through school zones, bicycles or E-bikes and skateboards riding on the sidewalks, vehicles parked on the sidewalks, vehicles parked right next to stop signs which block the crosswalks and view of the pedestrian ...

Threats this election Dear Editor, Both parties have vulnerabilities as the midterms draw near. For the Republicans, it's the conflict with Iran. This has driven up fuel costs as well as the cost of products delivered by using fuel. It's gone on for months. Of course, President Trump has secured the border and reduced crime, but won't get credit from the left. Several good things are happening, but their full effect won't be felt until the conflict is done. August job creation was three times as much as expected. Financial analyst Larry Kudlow, among others, sees a boom in ...
