Fact Amendments to the Constitution tell states what they cannot do (deny the vote based on race, gender or age, for example), but nothing in the Constitution tells the states that they must ensure all citizens can vote. Check the voting laws in your state! MYTH: Presidential elections are the ones that really matter. Fact Where does your water comes from? How are local police ocers trained? State and local elections decide who answers these questions and more. MYTH: Voter I.D. fraud is a big problem in the United States. Fact According to the Brennan Center for Justice, Americans are more likely to be struck and killed by lightning than to impersonate another voter. MYTH: College students have to vote where their parents live. Fact Most college students can vote at home or at or near school. Because every state is dierent, everyone should check the laws and register well in advance of election day in the state where they plan to vote. MYTH: My vote doesn’t count. Fact Because tied elections are surprisingly common, every vote matters. In 2017 in Virginia, ocials drew a name from a bowl to decide control of the state’s House of Delegates.

  • Jesus' Cry of Dereliction: Why the Father Did Not Turn Against Or
    Jesus’ Cry of Dereliction: Why the Father Did Not Turn Against or Away from the Son Mako A. Nagasawa Last modified: February 1, 2018 Introduction: John Stott’s The Cross of Christ In his now-classic book, The Cross of Christ , John R.W. Stott presents a sweeping and impressive defense of penal substitutionary atonement. He gives a thoughtful exposition of Jesus’ ‘cry of dereliction’ from the cross, his quotation of Psalm 22:1, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ 1 Stott considers three other interpretive options before he gives his own. First, Stott notes, some have suggested that Jesus’ cry was one of disbelief and anger, even despair. Stott rightly rejects this option. It attributes unbelief to Jesus. Interestingly, since this suggestion shares with penal substitution the view that the Father did in fact forsake his Son Jesus, Stott does not explore what it attributes to God the Father . Second, others have interpreted Jesus’ cry as one of loneliness. In this view, Jesus felt forsaken by God in the sense of not being able to sense his presence, and for some reason, was not able to name God his intimate ‘Father,’ but could only name him more distantly and impersonally as ‘God.’ Stott points out that the problem with this view is that it ignores the original meaning of Psalm 22:1: ‘Yet there seems to be an insuperable difficulty [in that] the words of Psalm 22:1 express an experience of being , and not just feeling , God-forsaken.’ 2 Maintaining continuity of the Psalm’s original meaning is important as a criterion of what Jesus meant when he quoted it, which makes it all the more strange that Stott ignores that original meaning when he advocates the penal substitution view.

    This site uses cookies. By continuing to browse this site you are agreeing to our use of cookies.× (More Information) Back to article page Back to article page Lynched for Drinking from a White Man’s Well Thomas Laqueur This April, the Equal Justice Initiative, a non-profit law firm in Montgomery, Alabama, opened a new museum and a memorial in the city, with the intention, as the Montgomery Advertiser put it, of encouraging people to remember ‘the sordid history of slavery and lynching and try to reconcile the horrors of our past’. The Legacy Museum documents the history of slavery, while the National Memorial for Peace and Justice commemorates the black victims of lynching in the American South between 1877 and 1950. For almost two decades the EJI and its executive director, Bryan Stevenson, have been fighting against the racial inequities of the American criminal justice system, and their legal trench warfare has met with considerable success in the Supreme Court. This legal work continues. But in 2012 the organisation decided to devote resources to a new strategy, hoping to change the cultural narratives that sustain the injustices it had been fighting. In 2013 it published a report called Slavery in America: The Montgomery Slave Trade, followed two years later by the first of three reports under the title Lynching in America, which between them detailed eight hundred cases that had never been documented before. The United States sometimes seems to be committed to amnesia, to forgetting its great national sin of chattel slavery and the violence, repression, endless injustices and humiliations that have sustained racial hierarchies since emancipation.

  • Sermon Series on Exodus
    Dr. Rodney Ashlock Chair, Department of Bible, Missions and MInistry Abilene Christian University [email protected] Preaching from the Book of Exodus Exodus in Outline From a preaching perspective it might be helpful to divide the book into two parts: Exodus 1:1-19:1—From Egypt to Sinai Exodus 19:2-40:38—Encamped at Sinai Narrative action dominates the first section of the book with such memorable scenes as Moses and the burning bush, the plagues and the crossing of the Sea moving the action forward at break-neck speed. Israel begins in Egypt but will wind up at the foot of the mountain of God at the beginning of chapter 19. In between Egypt and the Mountain lies the wilderness. Israel will encounter the desert and the challenges it brings. Can Israel learn to trust God even in the dire conditions of the desert? The second section of the book takes on a completely different tenor and pace as the people of Israel settle in for a long stay (roughly a year) in the wilderness of Sinai and at the foot of the mountain. Hear both preacher and the congregation will encounter meticulous instructions and laws pertaining to life with a Holy God and with each other. Highlighting this section are such important pieces of scripture as the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20), instructions for (25-31) and the completion of the Tabernacle and Priestly garments (35-40) and the story of the Golden Calf (32). As preachers of the word of God we will want to pay attention to the shifts in scenery and the different types of genres in these sections.
