One More Race

Kane Tanaka, currently the world’s oldest human at 118, is scheduled to carry the Olympic torch ahead of the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Understandably, she will do most of her route in a wheelchair but is determined to walk at least part of it.

Appropriately, the family gave her a new pair of sneakers at her last birthday. The title for the oldest person ever to live (not counting Bible characters) belonged to a French woman who lived to 122.

Pray for our Nation’s Leaders

God’s Truth: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

“Whenever a nation’s laws no longer reflect the standards of God, that nation is in rebellion against Him and will inevitably bear the consequences,” said Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., quoting from The Tony Evans Bible Commentary on February 25, while speaking on the House floor in opposition to the Equality Act, which would make it illegal to discriminate against homosexual and transgender individuals. 

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., replied: “What any religious tradition ascribes as God’s will is no concern of this Congress.” 

The House voted 224-206 in favor of the bill.

What God Does Not Want You to Do at Home (or anywhere)!

God’s Truth: “For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made… your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:13-16).
