When Will the Shooting Stop? TRUMP AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY | SOMALIS IN SOUTH DAKOTA MARCH 4, 2017 When will the shooting stop? Six years after South Sudan gained independence from the Muslim north, warring factions are making villagers again run for their lives 35% OFF SPECIAL OFFER GOD HAS REVEALED HIMSELF The Bible’s teaching on God’s love, holiness, and sovereignty is often met with questions about human responsibility, suffering, and evil. If God is in control of everything, can we make free choices? If God is good and all-powerful, how can we account for natural disasters and moral atrocities? In None Other: Discovering the God of the Bible, Dr. John MacArthur shows that the best way to discover the one true God is not through philosophical discourse but a careful study of Scripture—the primary place where God has chosen to reveal Himself.

    Malachy’s (Words & Music by Margaret A. Roche) Eddie said the beat was wrong Tom didn't like the tune The boy with the beard in the corner Laughed in the middle of the song He didn't stay very long Eddie said the lights were low Tom said the treble was high The boy with the beard in the corner Laughed in the middle of a sigh Don't think we ever even caught his eye Sometimes I used to find I'd be singing to you As if you were sitting at the table by the door Eddie says a friend of his is Makin' it big in L.A. Yeah, well everybody down at Malachy's Says were gonna make it someday Hey hey Sometimes I used to write songs for you As if you could feel it in the bottom of your heart Sometimes I used to find I'd be singing to you As if you were sitting at the table by the door Burden of Proof (Words & Music by Margaret A. Roche) The world is handout on the corners And the burden of proof is on you Consider the lilies how they grow They toil nor do they spin Yet look at the shape they're in Oh I wanna make my living In the valley where the lilies grow And in this struggle It's important that I know that you are mine The world is handout on the corners And the burden of proof is on me Tell you what I'll take you to Texas To eat breakfast at a grapefruit stand We'll carry all we own in our hands And we'll take off all of our clothes And go swimming in the Rio Grande Try looking up luck In the back of a pickup truck Pick up the makings of a man And in this struggle It's important that You know that you are fine The world is handout on the corners And the burden of proof is on you And when he's gone I wonder if a son Will ever happen again Will ever happen again Jill of All Trades (Words & Music by Margaret A.
