WWJD Is Finally Answered In New Christian Book, 'What Did Jesus Say' By Terry Christian
During the last century, there have been 100’s of millions of people who have seen the initials WWJD and know it stands for “What Would Jesus Do”, however very few know where the book came from that gave us the ‘first’ thought regarding WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?). Terry Christian, author of 'What Did Jesus Say', provides the background:
In 1896, for his Sunday night services, Charles Sheldon thought he would write a story, which would continue one chapter a week, about various persons who applied "What would Jesus do?" to their lives. Sheldon was soon preaching to a packed crowd and his messages were organized and released in a book. In His Steps became a best-selling religious fiction novel, first published in 1896, the book has since sold more than 50,000,000 copies, and ranks as one of the best-selling books of all time.
The full title of the book is 'In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do?'. Though variations of the subtitle WWJD "What would Jesus do" have been used by believers for centuries, it gained much greater currency following publication of the book. Millions have asked themselves WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) and now, WDJS (What Did Jesus Say) finally answers that question.
When I was first called to compose a book containing only the Words from Jesus without any added comments or opinions, I didn’t understand it and then I found out how few Christians have read all 4 Gospels containing the Words of Jesus. Hence very few even know what Jesus said in order to even know what Jesus would do.
Millions of Christians are misled into believing what Jesus said is not relevant compared to what Apostle Paul said. This is the main cause of many of the religious divisions in Christianity. Its said that 9 out of 10 Christians have never read all 4 Gospels and 60% have never even read one ‘complete’ Gospel. Its no wonder the Body of Christ is so divided worldwide; it's said we have over 30,000 different Christian religions and oddly enough many teach from the same Bible yet attack each other over their different opinions about the meaning of the Bible.
While composing my book, I researched (outside of religious academia) the different books in the New Testament - who wrote them, who voted them in the Bible, what books were rejected and when was the Bible formalized, and where did Sunday Worship, Easter and Christmas all come from and why are so many churches in disagreement. I was amazed to learn how ‘man's’ religious opinions could mislead so many from what Jesus said by creating so many different denominations, non-denominations and freestyle churches after the big breakaway in 1600 AD. And now, many of these ‘religions’ directly attack the Catholic Church as being evil and they say there’s over ‘one billion’ Catholics going to hell - wow. Such religious arrogance.
In conclusion all I can say is, if you really want to know WWJD, it really helps to know WDJS and when you know what Jesus said, then you know what God said and when we do what Jesus said, we’re pleasing God and serving His will and in doing so, we walk in His peace …… May His Words and love, be in all we think, say and do.
More is available at https://www.whatdidjesussay.org/blog/.
Imagine you're walking down the beach, and you come across a crowd waiting for Jesus to appear and teach them. What would he say? Would he talk about current religious and political conflicts, or would he speak about Love, Light, and Truth? Readers can join in for a walk with Jesus and listen to his words as he shares with them the Seven Messages from the Master. Each spiritual message reveals His teachings that will strengthen and guide anyone to a most peaceful life in Christ.
'What Did Jesus Say' contains over 500 Bible verses spoken directly by Jesus as recorded in the red-letter edition of the New King James Bible, organized by subject. There is no interpretation, opinion or commentary.
Terry Christian's ministry, Foundations For Life, is an online ministry dedicated to helping Christians worldwide. Their calling is to help all Christians mature in their relationship with Jesus Christ. H-E-L-P means Helping Everyone Live Peacefully in Christ.
This brotherly approach allows us to focus on our loving similarities as members of the whole Body of Christ, rather than on our differences in worshiping and practicing our faith, so common today from one church to another or one Pastor to another. The mission is to teach the Way by the Word.
Terry helps families and congregations, as well as clergy, come together, in love, as one body in Christ, in one accord, in order to perform a greater work for Christ. He is dedicated to creating the relationships that build stronger marriages, families and churches.
'What Did Jesus Say...The Seven Messages From The Master' is available in full color glossy print, eBook and Kindle. An audiobook version is available for Windows and Macintosh. Several bundled packages are available at the book website, http://www.wdjsbook.com.
Terry Christian is available for media interviews. Please contact PrimeStar Publicity using the information below.
More information is available at his ministry website at http://www.foundationsforlife.org/, and his book at www.wdjsbook.com.

Evangelical Outreach Announces Publication Of Original Christian Poetry Entitled 'The Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego Poem'
Evangelical Outreach, EOMIN.org proclaims and defends the Christian Gospel against various forms of religious deceptions.
As stated on the Wikipedia website, "Poetic forms have been used by Christians since the recorded history of the faith begins. The earliest Christian poetry, in fact, appears in the New Testament. Canticles such as the 'Magnificat' and 'Nunc Dimittis', which appear in the Gospel of Luke, take the Biblical poetry of the psalms of the Hebrew Bible as their models. Many Biblical scholars also believe that St Paul of Tarsus quotes bits of early Christian hymns in his epistles." In keeping with a beloved Christian tradition, Dan Corner, Director of Evangelical Outreach, recently announced the release of an original Christian poem entitled, 'The Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego Poem'.
"We will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up";
They were willing to go to their death and told that to the king close-up.
Their Godly courage has blessed and strengthened multitudes over the years;
If you are going to endure to the end you must, like them, conquer your fears.
[Dan 3:18; Mt. 10:28]
Threatened by the blazing furnace the three Hebrews stood true;
It takes determined people like them to be of the chosen few.
If you were there too and threatened with death over the same;
Would you buckle, then later bow your head in tearful shame?
[Dan. 3:6; 3:15; Mt. 10:22]
During the last generation, when the Antichrist is here;
If you are alive then, your ultimate test will be near.
If you worship his image and take the mark of the beast;
That will cause your eternal salvation to quickly cease.
[Rev. 14:9-12]
To be tormented with burning sulfur means, one is surely lost;
To get final salvation you must die pure in heart and count the cost.
You might have to pay with your life, as martyrs have been many;
On the other hand, unfaithful apostates have also been plenty.
[Mt. 5:8; Rev. 21:27; Mt. 24:10; etc.]
You must remain faithful to Jesus to not be hurt by the second death;
That means to the very end of your life -- to your very last breath.
Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection;
Don't fear those who kill the body, but God's ominous rejection.
[Rev. 2:10,11; Rev. 20:6; Mt. 10:28; 25:41]
The final overcomers will not receive the mark of the beast;
Regardless how or when, one day your physical life will cease.
First and foremost and above all else, you must make it in;
Nothing is worth going to the fiery lake - no person or sin.
[Rev 20:4; Rev. 21:1-8]
Know that both your words and actions are powerful and clear;
Though your heart is unseen, they reveal if you are true and sincere.
If you become an idolater to take the mark so you can buy or sell;
Into the fiery lake of burning sulfur you will go to eternally dwell.
[Mt. 12:37; Rev. 13:15-17 cf. Rev. 19:20; 14:9-12]
To overcome you must not love your life to shrink from death;
It's most important you are faithful to God till your last breath.
If you have to stand alone when everyone else falls away;
Be faithful to the true and living God and do not, him, betray.
[Rev. 12:11; Rev. 2:10,11; Heb. 3:14]
It's home in Paradise or fiery torment in the hot burning lake;
It's one or the other so whatever happens do not God, forsake.
Entering the holy New Jerusalem one blessed day;
Is surely worth any price you might have to pay.
[Rev. 21:1-8; 2 Chronicles 15:2; Phil. 1:21,23]
Your vital testimony of Jesus plays a salvation part too;
Like the three courageous Hebrews, you must remain true.
The Antichrist himself will be thrown into the fiery lake;
Never take the mark of the Beast, for your very soul is at stake!
[Rev. 20:4; Heb. 3:14; Rev. 19:20; Rev. 14:9-12]

Child Trafficking Through The Foster Care System - Author Monica Deller Of Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches Offers Sobering Information
In a recent article posted to the Trauma To Triumph n a recent article posted to the Trauma To Triumph Family Ranch website, author Monica Deller presented some startling information regarding the connection between Child Protection Services (CPS) and human trafficking. She draws from a number of references, including an article by Brian Shilhavy, Heath Impact News Editor. The Health Impact piece presented an interview done by filmmaker Sean Stone, in which he speaks with Tammi Stefano, the Executive Director of the National Safe Child Coalition (NSCC). The statistics stagger the mind. Stefano stated that a piece published in the Los Angeles Time stated that "1000 'convicted sex offenders' had been given a 'green light' by CPS to become 'approved foster parents' just in Los Angeles County.
Deller's article reads in part:
"Human trafficking is a hot subject and we need to keep it that way and keep it to the forefront until we stop this atrocity. Now, this article by Brian Shilhavy will blow your mind. Can you imagine a government agency that was created to help children and their families is a source for the human traffickers.
"Think about this, a child is conceived and the choice for whether that child will live, or die is made by another. A child is taken from his/her parents into foster care, given to a relative or trafficked is again made by someone else’ choice. Whatever happens to that child from that point on is made by other people’s choice.
"As I research this evil and dark issue, I’m more than ever passionate about bringing Trauma To Triumphant Family Ranches to fruition. It’s more than being a safe and supportive environment as a preventive to the trauma and loss of what is currently available, but it is a place of healing and restoration after a child or family is rescued."
The full article is available at http://traumatotriumphfamilyranches.com/.
Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches offers a totally unique approach to offering solutions to these problems, and many others. While other organizations hold the same goals, Trauma To Triumph is different in 3 specific ways:
They develop programs based on traditional Christian values.
They hold to the American value system as developed by our Founders
Their model is holistic in nature, covering the entire family structure.
The ranch will provide for individuals a place to come and experience the freedom of healing from strongholds, abuse, and depression. Programs, far too many in number to be listed here (see website) are designed to address the whole person spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and nutritionally.
Deller understands intimately the issues, as she has personally experienced many of them and, as a result, has written a highly acclaimed book entitled, 'Trauma to Triumph - If I can you can too'. Readers and reviewers have lavished praise on the new book, calling it "a heart wrenching story", "uplifting and inspirational" and "a work of tremendous revelation." One Amazon reviewer said, "I absolutely loved this book - WOW, and I thought I had some rough patches in life... this will blow your mind! I love the no nonsense truth and transparency. I can relate and am already using this book to guide myself to triumph! Thank you Monica for being brave and sharing your story."
Monica Deller is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at monicaedeller@gmail.com. 'Trauma to Triumph - If I can you can too' is available from booksellers including Amazon. More information regarding Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches, including full program listings and a series of articles in the 'Speak Out With Monica' section is available at her website at http://TraumaToTriumphFamilyRanches.com.
About Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches:
The mission of the organization is to give hope to people who have been affected by poverty, substance abuse, gangs, imprisonment, homelessness, abuse, and neglect, etc., by connecting them to God, through a loving relationship with Jesus Christ, and to a community of support, while helping them to develop a support system that will encourage each to make positive, long-term, God-honoring changes in their lives, thus knowing they are valued by, and have purpose in, Christ. It is their desire to provide a distinctly life changing experience to the youth, children and their families who enter in the programs at Trauma To Triumph Family Ranches. The goal is to help youth and children and their entire families change their lives, developing new habits to live confident, healed and restored lives consistently.

Some With Cancer Receive Divine Healing While Others Do Not; Christian Author Terry Allan Christian Explains Why
Divine healing is defined by Merriam Webster as "healing attributed to the direct agency of God usually in response to faith". As we all know, there have been thousands of documented cases of Divine healing. Conversely, many sincere people, Christians too, have done everything in their power to be healed and have failed. Why is this so?
Terry Christian received Divine healing from bladder cancer. He recently offered his own story to demonstrate why Divine healing works and why it may not:
"Divine healing is a sensitive subject among many people, especially Christians, because very few want to take responsibility for their own illness or diagnoses," Terry said. "Many allow their doctors to predict the outcome of their medical situation while only a few will go out of their way to seek ‘divine healing’.
"Many Christians become sad, disappointed or fearful and give up. Some think they’ll get to Heaven quicker if they give up and that’s based on manmade religious opinions over the years, and is not something everyone agrees on.
"In 2009 I was diagnosed with severe bladder cancer and told I’d die in 3-5yrs if I didn’t let the doctors remove my bladder and attach it to the outside of my body. My desire to live was strong and it was then I decided to learn what Jesus said to those who were healed by him, so I began reading the 4 Gospels and focused on every healing story. Here are 2 things I found that stick out the most.
#1- Jesus most often said, ‘your’ faith has made you whole and, in His own town, Jesus could only heal a few because they lacked ‘faith’ That’s how important ‘our faith is to our own Divine healing.
#2- Those who desired Divine healing were seeking it, climbing a mountain for it, tearing a hole in the roof to get to him or pressing through a crowd just to touch him; they were not sitting on their ‘couch of discontent’ hoping he would stop over and heal them. They were actively seeking healing.
"I received my Divine healing from bladder cancer after I created a 21 day health sabbatical called the LIFE WALK. I came to Negril Jamaica’s 7 mile beach (where I now live). I was 59 at the time so I walked 59 miles up and down the beach reflecting on my life seeking Divine healing. I practiced 4 things I learned from JESUS.
#1- With GOD, all things are possible, all the time, wherever we are.
#2- We must pray, believing in our prayers.
#3- Faith must consume the one ‘receiving’ the healing.
#4- Some healings require prayer and fasting.
"Prayer and fasting calms our mind and spirit while resetting our body chemicals allowing healing and provides a great peace of mind and a sense of Gods Presence. It’s true, not everyone gets healed and it’s also true, not everyone dies early either.
"The main reason why some Christians receive Divine healing and some don’t is because being a Christian means having a ‘personal relationship’ with Jesus. Each of us are different in our obedience to God's Will and therefore we pursue His Will differently."

Imagine you're walking down the beach, and you come across a crowd waiting for Jesus to appear and teach them. What would he say? Would he talk about current religious and political conflicts, or would he speak about Love, Light, and Truth? Readers can join in for a walk with Jesus and listen to his words as he shares with them the Seven Messages from the Master.

Special Needs Students, Bullying And Angels - Self Esteem And Shame Issues Play Key Role In Bullying Says Jody Sharpe, Award Winning Author Of Books About Angels
In an article found on the Psychology Today website entitled 'Do Bullies Really Have Low Self-esteem?', Mary C. Lamia, PhD. presents a number of facts regarding self esteem and bullying. According the the research done on bullying and self-esteem, the behavior may have less to do with self-esteem and more to do with being "shame-prone". Bullies may project their own self-loathing onto others, hoping to evoke a sense of shame in their victims.
Jody Sharpe is a retired special needs educator who observed special needs kids being bullied by others many times. She recently offered an article in the Tuesdays with the Angels section of her website. That article read in part:
"I first became aware of bullying before 1974 when I was a child and the American With Disabilities Act had not been passed. Children with Special Needs were not allowed in the public school system. As we walked to grade school a girl about twelve I guessed with flaming red hair would ride her bike by our school almost every day as we were about to cross at the crosswalk. I knew she was different and know now after a long career in Special Education she had Down’s Syndrome. The kids would laugh and point while calling her names as she drove by our school but I never did. I just stood there always feeling sad for her wondering who she was. I knew it was wrong for the kids to make fun of her. The girl obviously wanted to belong and go to school like the other kids."
The full article is available at Sharpe's website.
On the surface bullying and angels would appear to have no connection whatsoever. However both of these subjects are of particular interest to Sharpe, who has managed to bring them together in a series of books that have taken a number of awards and have garnered a large number of top rated reviews.
Sharpe recently released her newest novel 'Town Of Angels', a book that centers on the issue of bullying in a town in which angels are in residence. The book is now available in both print and e-book format, and is also available in print from online and traditional booksellers. In addition, the book is now featured in a new video available at her site.
In 'Town Of Angels' it is angel vs. bully in the town of Mystic Bay, California, where a well kept secret lies. Angels live as humans there. After angels appeared to three children all was blissful in the town full of psychics, and ordinary folk. But as a bully, Klaus Waxman, comes to town, Angel Ken Leighton, a storeowner, must carefully guide his flock of humans not to give to in to the bully’s efforts. As Klaus opens a store mocking the resident angels sightings, Angel Ken guides psychic Justine Greer and her family to thwart his efforts. And with the help of the indomitable oldest psychic in town, Madam Norma, the bully meets his match with soft voices and intuitive minds…
Reviewers have given the new book the highest ratings. One reviewer stated, "The book’s characters are bright and well developed and the stories in Mystic Bay move the reader through this spiritual journey with guidance from angels. The images and fascinating stories behind the Mystic Bay series would certainly be worthy of a screenplay to further bring this saga of spiritual awakening to life."
Her first book, ‘The Angel's Daughter’, was written in memory of her daughter Kate. Her second book, 'To Catch An Angel', was written in memory of her husband Steve.
Over a decade ago, when her daughter died tragically Sharpe faced down the most difficult challenge of her life. She was determined not to just merely survive, but to live; to honor the life of her beloved daughter, her twins, her husband and the rest of the rich life she had created before the tragedy. Blessed with an inherently positive outlook these trying times were strengthened by influences from the late Norman Vincent Peale to the children's book character, Wilbur the pig. For Sharpe, ministers of spirit and guidance took the form of angels. Sharpe's openness to change led her to write her first novel, 'The Angel's Daughter'. The story that takes place in the fictitious town of Mystic Bay, California and encompasses all Sharpe's attitudes about goodness, healing and moving on.
In 'To Catch An Angel', miracles happen in Mystic Bay, California, the town with the psychic and angel vibe. Angels are calling. Psychic Maggie Malone returns home to find she's swept up in the miracle of it all. She can't imagine why her mother left or who her father might be. But these questions pale in comparison to the wonder of the angels. Maggie meets writer, Noah Greenstreet. They realize they've met before, but where? Maggie and Noah embark on a journey to find our world is all awash with angels.
Jody recently appeared as a featured author at the 2019 Payson Book Festival held in Payson AZ. She also appeared on a live interview on KPJM FM, a 501c3 non-profit corporation whose mission is to provide anti-addiction and anti-abuse education to help keep the community’s children from entering into destructive behaviors. In addition, she appears in an interview on The Authors Show, in which she discusses her latest book.
Sharpe presents stories and interviews about angels in her 'Tuesdays With The Angels' blog series. She is now accepting submissions of angel stories for possible inclusion on her 'Tuesdays With The Angels' blog. She hopes to create a collection of angel stories that involve sightings of angels, interaction with angels, miraculous angel encounters and other types of accounts or stories. All submissions will be considered, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Stories may be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd.
Jody was chosen as a winner in the annual '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' Book Awards. She was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.
Jody Sharpe is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below, or by email at sharpejody76@gmail.com. Angel stories can be submitted at http://bit.ly/2FV8amd. All of her books are available at online book retailers. New quotes will be added every Tuesday to the 'Tuesdays With The Angels' section of her blog, which can be found at her website at http://www.JodySharpe.com.
Profile:
Jody Sharpe had a rewarding career as a Special Education teacher. Writing about angels became healing after losing her daughter and then her husband. The valuable lessons she learned about moving forward and loving life in the now have set her on a mission to tell the stories with love, humor and spiritual awakening. The fictitious town of Mystic Bay has given her an avenue to put characters and themes together hopefully enlightening the reader towards contemplation of the precious life and memories we are given.

God's Truth On The Roman Catholic Church, The True Church And Peter The Rock
Catholicism teaches Jesus founded the Catholic Church on Peter the first Pope and Evangelical Outreach, EOMIN.org, carefully examines that claim
Is the Roman Catholic Church the true Church based on the Christian New Testament? This is the ultimate spiritual authority question, for if it is valid we should all become Roman Catholics. Conversely, if their claim is debunked, then present day Catholics should leave that counterfeit religious system. Which is it? Dan Corner, Director of Evangelical Outreach, recently has this to say in response to that question:
Over 1 billion people in our day believe Roman Catholicism is the one true church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ and built upon Peter (the bishop of Rome), the first pope. The focus of that teaching comes from Mt. 16:18,19, but is that really what it is saying?
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Mt. 16:16-19)
Fact 1: "Peter" (petros in Greek is masculine), while "rock" (petra is feminine). Also, petros means a stone or boulder, while petra means a mass of rock, which is much different. That alone shows Peter could not be the "rock" upon which the church was built.
So what is the "rock"? It goes back to Peter's confession about Jesus' identity - "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God", which was revealed to him by the heavenly Father. The "rock" is (the truth that) Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, and the son of the living God.
Fact 2: Peter was not uniquely given the "keys of the kingdom of heaven" (Mt. 16:19). Those "keys" are for binding and loosing, which the other disciples also had the ability to do:
I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. (Mt. 18:18)
That message was spoken to the "disciples" [plural] (Mt. 18:1). Hence, Peter did not uniquely get the "keys". Those undeniable facts negate the solitary, authoritative claim Rome has given itself, but there is even more to note.
Fact 3: If Peter were made the head of the apostles, why didn't the other apostles know it? Such is apparent as they were arguing amongst themselves over who was the greatest (Lk. 9:46; 22:24)? Why didn't Jesus correct them by saying that he made Peter the greatest, if he really had? Even Peter viewed himself as a fellow elder, like those he addressed (1 Pet. 5:1); the apostle John addressed himself in the same manner (2 John 1).
Fact 4: Why didn't Peter preside over the important Jerusalem Church Council related to salvation for the Gentiles, if he uniquely had the "keys" and was made the "rock" upon which Jesus would build his church (Acts 15:6-30)?
Fact 5: Why is Peter only one of the reputed "pillars" instead of being the only one or, at the very least, the pillar listed first? The order is "James, Peter and John" (Gal. 2:9) showing the other two men are at least equal in authority to Peter, further debunking Peter’s primacy.
Facts 6: How could Paul not be behind the chiefest of the apostles (2 Cor. 12:11), if Peter was indeed the chief and visible head of the church?
Fact 7: How could Jesus state John the Baptist was the greatest born of woman (Mt. 11:11), implying that John was greater that Peter (and Mary)?
Fact 8: The Apostle Paul openly opposed the Apostle Peter because Peter was in the wrong (Gal. 2:11-14). Paul would never have openly opposed the Apostle Peter if he were the supreme, visible head of the church, while Paul himself occupied a lesser church office than Peter. This single incident alone also shows it is impossible for the Apostle Peter to have been the head of the church.
Fact 9: Peter was a married man (Mt. 8:14; 1 Cor. 9:5); so, why don't the popes, if they share in the same office, have a wife like Peter did?
Facts 10: There is no church office of Pope. Therefore, the alleged papacy and papal infallibility itself are mere empty claims. The real church offices are: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (Eph 4:11), but no pope anywhere in the New Testament.
Nor is there any scriptural evidence of subsequent popes after Peter (known as apostolic succession). Ordaining others via the laying on of hands could not have applied to such a non-existent church office. This statement also includes Pope Boniface VIII and his famous Unam Sanctam decree of 1302. That Ex Cathedra (infallible) decree stating that one must be in submission to the Roman Pontiff in order to have salvation is meaningless, as are the other 100+ anathemas that the Council of Trent (1545 to 1563) has placed on all non-Catholics.
Fact 11: How could "Pope" Honorius I (625-638), after his death, be both anathematized as and branded as a heretic by a different Catholic Pope, at one of their own church councils, the Third Council of Constantinople in 680, the thirteenth and sixteenth sessions? How could the College of Cardinals elect Honorius I in the first place to be their pope, if they were led by the Holy Spirit?
Fact 12: If Peter really were a Pope like those in our hour (Pope John Paul II, etc.), how could Peter have neglected to mention Mary in both of his epistles (1, 2 Peter), as well as, in all of his salvation sermons cited in the Book of Acts? FYI: Pope John Paul II’s personal motto was "I am completely yours, Mary", and he frequently spoke of her, which is extremely typical for all popes. Folks, Peter was right; Mary has absolutely no role in our salvation whatsoever. Remember Luke 11:27-28.
The Roman Catholic church declares itself to be "The Church" with the ultimate, spiritual authority of the one true church, but its claims are completely unfounded and they even violently clash with God's word. The evidence shows the Catholic magisterium is untrustworthy and has misled multitudes of precious sincere souls, who have believed their teachings and their "approved" Marian apparitions. It remains the sincere Godly desire of multitudes of Christians, especially ex Catholics, for Catholics to let the New Testament inform them. We must all turn from sin and place 100% of our trust and faith in the PRECIOUS Lord Jesus Christ alone for our soul's salvation. Folks, faithfully and unashamedly follow and serve Jesus till death to enter God's kingdom (Acts 20:21 cf. 26:20; Lk. 9:26; Heb. 3:14). Such is the true saving faith in the PRECIOUS Lord Jesus, which will get you into Paradise after death.
The sacraments, Mary, and being a Catholic cannot save anyone. Final spiritual authority is the scriptures (the Bible); God's written word is the Christian's spiritual authority (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Scripture shows one must sincerely turn from idols and other sins (1 Cor. 6:9-11; Gal. 5:19-21; Rev. 21:8; etc.) and obediently follow Jesus in order to have eternal life in God's kingdom and escape the lake of fire (Lk. 8:21; 2 Cor. 7:10; 1 Thess. 1:9; Lk. 11:27-28; 1 John 5:12-13; Rev. 20:15; etc.). Jesus is our true "life, sweetness and hope"- not Mary, as openly declared in the Rosary – yet another violation of Jesus' teachings (Mt. 6:6-8). Remember you are 100% safe to go by the Bible alone. Don't take a chance with your SOUL. This is for ETERNITY. [Pass this on to another.]

Bullying, Social Media Aggression And The Erosion Of Integrity - Mutual Respect And Treating All People With Basic Human Decency Is The Way To Help Heal Our Hurting World Says Award Winning Author Cheryl Williams
According to an article on the Psychology Today website titled “What Ever Happened to Basic Human Decency?" Psychiatrist Grant Hilary Brenner expressed the lessons his father taught him about human decency and the importance of treating others with respect, consideration and dignity.
In that article Dr. Brenner stated, “Our family business hired a lot of people from the inner city, many from rough backgrounds with little education. He always made it clear that regardless of where you were from, all people were fundamentally equal and worthy of respect.”
Award winning author Cheryl Williams believes that mutual respect, and treating each other with basic human decency, is the way to help heal our hurting world.
“As a child I was bullied, and disrespected because I looked different, and didn’t have the same lifestyle as my peers," Williams stated. "As an adult I was humiliated, and disrespected on the job by those who deemed my contributions as insignificant. In my lifetime I have had to endure disrespect from the same people who expected respect and human decency in return."
"My poem, 'Human', was written as a way for me to speak out against humiliation and disrespect, and speak up in support of human decency, dignity and respect.”
You look me in the eye
Yet forget that I’m alive
I feel
Just like you do
My emotions run through veins
As yours do
You push me, mistreat me
Yet you don’t see me
In your eyes I am invisible…
More is available at Williams' website at https://cherylhot6.wixsite.com/cherylpwilliams
Williams was named Top Female Author in the 2019 Top Female Author Awards in the poetry category. The win came as the result of her most recent book, 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life'. Williams was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors by a panel of judges.
Writing has helped Williams connect with her inner self, finding positive ways to cope with life's struggles. She has been writing and singing for as long as she can remember.
Throughout her childhood she sang in both the church and school choir, and also enjoyed singing at talent shows and music festivals. As an adult she also participated in concerts, performing as a solo artist.
Music and writing are the tools that bring her fulfillment and healing. Her book, 'A Collection Of Poems', takes us through the power of the human mind, good or bad, and its impact on one's direction and journey through life.
With the help of music, writing, and positive thinking, Williams found hope and purpose in life. Life isn't fair. It is unpredictable, bad things happen to good people, and we never know what tomorrow holds. Cheryl wants her readers to realize that even when faced with insurmountable, hopeless situations, even when life seems dark and uncertain, we should never let go of hope and appreciate the beauty and blessings that life has to offer, making the most of every day, loving, living, laughing, and learning. Seasons change, and there is always a rainbow after the storms of life.
Cheryl Williams is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at cherylw27@aol.com. 'A Collection Of Poems: A Journey Through Life' is available at Amazon. More information, including a number of videos and a collection of music, is available at her website at https://cherylhot6.wixsite.com/cherylpwilliams.
About Cheryl Williams:
Cheryl Williams is a wife, mother, author, and nurse by profession, with a passion for the Arts.
Her love for poetry started at the tender age of five when she recited the poem "Grandfather Frog” for a school function. Six years later, her world was turned upside down after her mother suffered a massive stroke.
During those uncertain times, music, writing, and poetry helped her cope.
As a teenager, whenever she wasn’t caring for her mother, Cheryl spent her free time writing and directing short plays as a form of entertainment for the children in her neighborhood.
She enjoyed singing in the church and school choir, while also performing publicly as a soloist in concerts and talent shows. As a result of her mother’s illness and her responsibility to help care for her, Cheryl was inspired to pursue nursing as a way to help others heal; the same way writing and music helped her find a path to healing. She resides in New York.

School Shootings, Lockdowns, Body Shaming And Bullying: Selfie Showcase, New Selfie Film Concept By Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Now Open For Submissions
Selfies as film is a new concept; one that is gaining wide acceptance. Selfie films are fast becoming "television" for the digital age. 'Content', a vertical video series recently debuted on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram. 'Unfriended', released in 2014, grossed $64 million worldwide.

Selfie filmmaking has arrived.
Selfie filmmaker and Positive Psychologist is a cutting-edge, visionary selfie filmmaker who has garnered over 80 awards and screenings.

If You Read Only One Business Book This Year, 'Tighten The Lugs Nuts' By Top Motivational Speaker Rocky Romanella Is The Book That Can Take Your Business To The Next Level
Few business books offer new, innovative approaches to leading companies to success. Fewer still speak clearly to the key points necessary to become an effective leader. Only a miniscule number of books could be called a "game changer". 'Tighten The Lug Nuts' by top motivational speaker Rocky Romanella is all of that and more.
'Tighten The Lug Nuts: The Principles of Balanced Leadership', brings rock-solid leadership advice to the forefront through an engaging and entertaining storytelling format. Many of the Balanced Leadership principles in the book also serve as keystone concepts in his engaging and highly entertaining keynote presentations and breakout sessions.
Rocky explores the ways a true leader can add value as a trusted advisor, mentor, and visionary who uses a process approach to lead the organization and its people to new levels of success. Whether you are a seasoned leader or are taking the first steps to becoming an effective leader, this is one of those books you will refer to over and over again.
Rocky speaks from experience. With over 40 years of “boots on the ground” leadership experience, he is one of the best keynote motivational speakers in the country and internationally. He has spoken in large and small venues all over the US including cities such as Atlanta, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, NYC, Dallas, Chicago, Miami, Houston, LA, Charlotte and many others. Internationally, he has presented keynotes in Toronto, Mexico City, Milan, London, and Krakow. He is known for creating excitement through his energy, passion and knowledge, while employing his talents and experience to motivate, inspire and entertain audiences, regardless of size.
A considerable number of readers and reviewers alike have praised 'Tighten the Lug Nuts'. One Amazon review stated, "As a small business owner, I've read a ton of books on business that aim to make you a better leader and entrepreneur. Most are paint by number and give you the impression little thought was put into them, but this book is engaging with a deep personal touch. You can tell the author really cares about his message. It's an entertaining read with a unique look at what it means to be a leader, full of anecdotes that will make you want to be a better person. Definitely recommended."
Another said, "I truly appreciated this book and the author's insights. This book truly exemplifies how important it is to inquire about one's values and their development, execution and commitment through thoughtful, purposeful, intentioned choices and actions, not just professionally but in all aspects of life. It is my contention that this book should be required reading for any course in business ethics!"
A recent review by Online Book Club said, "The title, Tighten the Lug Nuts, is connected to a story within the story. It is one of the most important lessons for every leader."
3SIXTY donates one dollar to the Jimmy V Fund to find the cure for cancer for each copy of 'Tighten The Lug Nuts' sold.
In addition to 'Tighten The Lug Nuts', Romanella offers a wealth of information at the company's website, all at no charge. These include a dedicated podcast resource page and a new video library. These resources allow visitors to explore a variety of important concepts quickly. They provide professionally produced content that can be incorporated into meetings, company gatherings or can perhaps be utilized to create in-house presentations.
Romanella has garnered praise for his ability to connect to a wide range of audiences with his storytelling ability and innate charisma. Richard Snowden, President of RavenHouse International said, "An engaging speaker and facilitator, Rocky leads business executives to break-through results through break-through thinking."

KJV Onlyism – The Unacknowledged Facts Offered About "God's Only Bible", That Is, The Christian King James Bible Translations
Evangelical Outreach, EOMIN.org proclaims and defends the Christian Gospel against various forms of religious deceptions, including the KJV Only Cult.
It has been said that much can be lost in the translation. Nowhere is this more true than in the ongoing controversy that surrounds the King James version of the Bible. According to Wikipedia, there are 5 main classifications of the King James Only movement. All take slightly different paths, one even claiming that the KJV version is a "new revelation." This is an extremely important issue for Christians who must necessarily adhere to the truth, not opinion. Dan Corner, Director of Evangelical Outreach, recently had this to say:
Is the King James Only belief credible? Is the King James Version (KJV) the one and only Word of God or is that an extreme distortion, even a severe stumbling-block to others?
The truth is: the real Word of God is the actual writings first recorded in Hebrew and Greek from Genesis through Revelation. Because most people cannot read Hebrew and Greek, the need existed to translate the existent manuscripts accurately into the languages of the different peoples worldwide. Hence, there are translations of the Bible into many different languages from Chinese to Spanish to French to English, etc.
As far as an English translation of the Bible, the 1611 King James Version is one of the best known, but it was not the first English translation, nor is it what it has been commonly presented to be – far from it! The comprehension problems for KJV users are not going to go away. In other words, the KJV translation, with its archaic wording, is incomprehensible, frustrating, misleading, has bred ignorance of God's word and is a primary reason why so many professing Christians have never even made it through the New Testament despite, in some cases, decades of church attendance.
Some examples of these archaic expressions are vain janglings (1 Tim. 1:6), superfluity of naughtiness (James 1:21), and abusers of themselves with mankind (1 Cor. 6:9), etc. Despite the many problems with the KJV, some people continue to obstinately present the KJV as God's one and only Bible, the perfect translation, the only inspired word of God and the like, thereby setting it on a pedestal far above all other translations, regardless of the impossible-to-understand language.
Again, the most glaring problem with the KJV is the strange wording. The terms are so unusual in today’s world that many will never see those words again. In contrast to the hundreds of such bewildering KJV terms, the KJV Onlyite's outlandish propaganda is that even a 12 year old child can understand it! That is one of the biggest untruths about the KJV in our day. Reality is, even decades-long KJV preachers, do not know the meaning of those words, and they consult the modern reputable translations for their meanings, often sneak-reading these other easier translations. They need a translation of the KJV just to understand it. The situation is bad enough, but far worse for new converts struggling to learn God's truths about salvation and the Christian life.
The comprehension factor alone is more than enough to set the KJV aside in favor of the modern reputable translations, but there are other problems as well. The god represented by the KJV “repents of evil doing” from Ex. 32:12-14 to Amos 7:3 to Jonah 3:10 for hundreds of years. If the KJV were Holy Spirit inspired or perfect, as claimed, such inaccuracy, blasphemous really, would not be in it. God is perfect and holy and has never needed to repent, because he can never commit any evil to repent of.
The aforementioned examples are death blows to KJV Onlyism, but to cite three more serious problems, the King James translation further: (1) teaches that Noah was "saved by water" (1 Pet. 3:20), that is, the flood waters rather than the ark itself (which has been exploited by the baptism-is-necessary-for-salvation people); (2) misrepresents the Lord Jesus as being "slew" before getting nailed to the cross (Acts 5:30; 10:39). Not only does the KJV cite the term "slew" to mean kill as in David "slew" Goliath (1 Sam. 17:50-51; etc.), but also, in the book of Acts, "slew" is used to communicate kill, as happened to the Martyr Stephen (Acts 22:20); (3) and, finally, the Holy Spirit is presented as an inanimate thing by the pronoun "itself" instead of the more appropriate and accurate “himself” to reflect personhood (Romans 8:16; 8:26, KJV). These errors have helped the Jehovah's Witness to spread their errant dogma that the Holy Spirit is a mere force likened unto a radar beam.
The bold, aggressive and misinformed KJV Onlyites also insist others cite Bible verses and preach solely from the KJV. Beyond that, they will emotionally attack the sincerest and most God fearing Christians, who reject the KJV. If you are a KJV Onlyite, what are you defending – your pride and an archaic error-ridden translation which YOU cannot even understand and yet are trying to force on everyone else? How could the usage of the KJV correctly become the basis of your Christian fellowship? Has the KJV become an idol and stumbling-block to you?
Folks, do not allow pressure from the KJV camp to hinder your comprehension of God's word anymore. Be assured, the Word of God existed before 1611. Read a modern reputable translations and do not allow the KJV Onlyites to belittle you for wanting to know what scripture is saying or teaching from a better, easier-to-understand translation than theirs. (Save this teaching and pass it on to others.)

High Praise For What Is Man Male And Female - BF Skinner's View Offered By Award Winning Author Bernard Fleury
One of the most pressing and perplexing questions ever posed by humankind is "What am I?" This question, debated by philosophers, educators and clergy the world over for many centuries, can frustrate even the most advanced philosophers among us. An eye can only see outward; it is impossible for an eye to see itself. Likewise it is impossible for an "I" to see itself, as the "I" can only be the subject, never an object.
Award-winning author Bernard Fleury has produced a single publication that contains, under one cover, broadly representative views concerning the meaning of “Man.” Both readers and professional reviewers have given the book high praise. In that book he presents points of view from 5 leading philosophers - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Martin Buber, Paul Sartre, Burrhus F. Skinner and John Dewey. Fleury recently provided a brief explanation drawn from B. F. Skinner:
"Before this question can be answered we must consider Skinner’s answer to another question, what is ultimately real? He asserts that the basic substance of the universe is physical matter, which takes many forms. Man, the human is one of the many forms of matter, although a highly complex form. He is a biological organism which can only be truly understood by a science of human behavior. By scientifically observing man’s doing, one may discover man’s being, for man IS what he DOES. He is a reactive organism.
"The first edition of the book was used for the most part with fourth year undergraduate students, criminal justice and liberal arts majors in the Philosophy of Education course and also in the graduate course Social Cultural Theories, Foundations of Education," Fleury stated. "In both of these courses 'Man' is viewed as the focal point of education since he is the subject of education—what education is all about. The term “Man” is used generically throughout the first edition and in this new edition to refer to all humans, female and male, because this is the way the term is used in classical philosophy and in the writings of the five philosophers included in both the first and new revised editions to refer to all humankind, female and male.
"Unlike other best sellers like John Grey’s 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'. The scope of 'What is Man? Male and Female' has been broadened to include the interests of parents in their parenting, sociologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists as well as pre and in-service teachers and other education administration personnel. All of these professions have 'Man' as their subject so it is critical to their practices how they view the 'human.' Who or what is it that they are attempting to define, teach, or develop therapies for?"
The book answers three very important questions:
What does it mean to be human?
Who or what is it that we are attempting to define, teach, or develop therapies for?
What role does the Inner and Outer Light play in each philosopher’s view?
Readers and reviewers have lauded 'What is Man?':
"Professor Fleury, Ed.D. has done a masterly piece of groundwork. He generously offers the results of his own life’s quest to those who are willing to make the effort to study his work to find meaning for themselves, others, and for our cultural-evolution." - Ruth McGoldrick, SP, MRE Adult Educator and Spiritual Director
"Dr. Fleury has done a great service for educators, parents, and all concerned with raising and educating children in today’s world. He has invited those so involved to perform that most elemental and human of efforts, namely, to reflect for themselves on what motivates them to journey with young people toward maturity. By sampling the thoughts of five men (deChardin, Buber, Dewey, Sartre, and Skinner) each of whom in his own way has greatly influenced the pedagogical process, Dr. Fleury teases out both the similarities and dramatic differences which inform these schools of thought." - Rev. Richard A Bondi
"Bernard J Fleury is a gifted and knowledgeable thinker whose work will provoke discussion in the areas of psychology, philosophy, and parenting. . . I loved the references to prominent thinkers, theologians and philosophers who have articulated on the meaning of the human person, including Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Martin Buber, Paul Sartre, Burrhus F. Skinner, and many more. Here is a book that offers insights and opens portals to powerful truths about being human. In What is Man? Male and Female, the author offers answers and encourages readers to think about their personhood from a completely fresh perspective. It is filled with light and wisdom.” - Divine Zape
"This was a superb work, and the best I have read by this author so far, especially due to its minimal approach of opinion and scholarly presentation of human philosophy. The thinkers which are presented are diverse and well considered for their part in the development of defining what it means to be human, and we can use this to view our place in the world as well as that of others. Genuinely accessible, thanks to Fleury’s clear and concise transcriptions and translations of what each complex theory has to offer, this bite-sized edition of philosophical thinking certainly packs a punch, and could be read, discussed and appreciated again and again." - K.C. Finn
"The book discusses the interpretations of the five major philosophers – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Martin Buber, John Dewey, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Burrhus F. Skinner – regarding the meaning to be attached to ‘Man’. The interpretations of these five philosophers have been divided into five sections in the book. Their views are helpful when it comes to deciphering and defining who we actually are, and the nature of human growth and development. The question of what is man is actually a very fundamental one, and the book gives a lot of insights that will enable readers to understand the concept and the people around them in a way so they are helpful to each other and can move forward in dignity and respect." - Mamta Madhavan
Nearly all of Bernard's books center squarely on the theme of Light as a Someone and a Something. He believes we are all Called Into Life By The Light. Life and Light are tied together. Lifelight describes their relationship best because both our “without” (our physical being) and our “within” (our spirit) are basically light in two different forms:
1. Physical energy that occupies space, has weight, can be measured, and
2. Psychic or spiritual energy which is a force that causes things to happen and, thus, real energy, but it does not occupy space, have weight, nor can it be empirically measured.
Fleury's 'Light' book series has received numerous 5-star rated reviews. He was chosen as one of ‘50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading’ in the 2017 Book Awards. That honor came as a result of his appearance on The Authors Show. He was chosen from a field of hundreds of authors through a public voting process.

'The Unfailing Light Remedy for Alienation, Loneliness and Despair' is available at online retail book outlets. More information is available at his website at http://www.intolifebylight.com.
