Do we live by God's rules or the world's

The Clarke County Democrat Podcast ·

2025/11/20

The Bible says that envy and jealousy are sins and they are to be avoided. Galatians 5:19-21, “The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” That means that we must avoid envy and jealousy along with all the sins of ...

Time has no favorites

2025/11/20

A soldier wrote his dad from a combat zone in a war-torn country. In the upper left hand corner under his name he wrote, “Not Here for Very Long.” True of the soldier - true of each of us. Life at its longest is very short in light of eternity. Wisely Moses advised us to go to God and ask him to: “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Time has no favorites. We are each given 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 52 weeks a year. It does... Article Link

The Clarke County Democrat Podcast ·

2025/10/29

Superstitions are something we all grew up with to some degree, especially in the South. Superstitions are part folk tale, part oral history and a part of each of our day to day lives. The little superstitions the majority of us participate in are almost out of habit because we were told to do them and we still do them without even thinking about why. A close family friend, Katie, always warned me that should I continue to leave my purse sitting on the floor I would “always be broke,” and if ...

Nonpartisan municipal elections have become partisan

The Clarke County Democrat Podcast ·

2025/10/29

Political pundits and observers and political players have espoused the long- held belief in the mantra “all politics is local.” I have changed my tune on this well- known adage and belief. My observation is that today it is the opposite, “all politics is national.” Folks either vote straight Republican or straight Democratic. Most, about 90%, of all white Alabamians vote straight Republican, they may not pull the straight Republican lever, but they only mark Republican names. They would come...

I went some places today, and in both places, there were people talking about the government. Not about the shutdown which is what you would expect they would be yammering about. No, what they were talking about was Big Pharma’s hold on the government. This was two different groups of people, but the subject was the same. It was about vaccinations and how nobody trusts them to help us. One subject was about how we are vaccinating our children and they seem to be having adverse reactions to th...
